Ok, it's cool to sacrifice the queen to be mentioned in a TH-cam video years later, but let's talk for a second of Karjakin that decided to lose to two queen sacrifices for being mentioned twice in the video, absolute hero
And another one against Dubov last year 😂😂
@@karadonda yeah 🤣😅
He knew he was going to get into a Gotham chess video a few years later
They say karjakin is good on defending so brilliant plays only work on him I guess
He's the absolute definition of "I've won but at what cost?"
“Somewhere Eric Rosen yells Oh no my queen” 😂😂
*THIS*
If he does that, I wouldn't dare to take it.
timestamp please

same lol
Hikaru's inmortal queen is the most counter-attack based sequence of moves i have ever seen and Bobby's queen sacrifice it's a technical creative beauty
The Nakamura sequence feels like a puzzle position you wouldn't believe anyone could ever get to, let alone find in a real game
agreed, my favourite game all time
Sacrifices are fun when you're not the one being sacrificed
or gambiting all your pieces, yes
i usually gambit my king

“Hikaru proceeds to go on a series of moves, where he *doesn’t care*” 12:40
he really doesn't care, no chat, he really doesn't
chat i literally don't care chat, wow chat i don't care, chat i LITERALLY don't care, chat i don't care, chat please i don't care, chat i dont care at all chat please stop chat ple
I laughed so hard when he said it😂
My guy, he 'literally doesn't care,' he doesn't care.
I scrolled down through comments just to see this one and i'm not disappointed
Great selection!
Some other notable mentions:
1) Carlos Torre Repetto vs Newell Williams Banks (1924)
2) Stefan Levitsky vs Frank Marshall (1912)
3) Edwin Ziegler Adams vs Carlos Torre Repetto (1920)
4) Yuri L Averbakh vs Alexander Kotov (1953)
5) Georg Rotlewi vs Akiba Rubinstein (1907)
6) Lubomir Ftacnik vs Ognjen Cvitan (1997/98)
7) Boris Gelfand vs Baadur Jobava (2011)
8) Laszlo Szabo vs Kenneth W Lloyd (1960/61)
9) Edward Lasker vs George Alan Thomas (1912)
10) Alireza Firouzja vs Murali Karthikeyan (2019)
11) Alexander Alekhine vs Friedrich Saemisch (1923)
I’d have to go for Morphy vs Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard, it’s barely even a queen sac but it’s a fun game. Also it would be interesting to see some games where the sacrifice doesn’t quite work, to remind us that they’re human too (and the ideas can still be instructive)
19:23 im 99% sure that was a villager "hmm" lmao
Levy will sell you chess courses for emeralds
I always loved, how Tal's opponents were often tired of his attacks and resigned soon.
His opponent was probably like "That madman just made a 42 move sequence to win 2 of my pawns into a completely winning endgame, Nope nope nope"
I thought we were gonna see Bobotsov vs. Tal, but Albero vs. Tal is also pretty good.
It wasn't soon, 2 pieces is a lot better than a rook if there is no other compensation
Yes he is really amazing I wish Gotham bring more of his games
@@siddharthamishra1999 Even Levy 3:34 said that his opponent had enough although the material was close to be balanced. But i guess you are some undercover GM better than those titled players.

Magnus' Queen sac was incredible following it live. Impossible to win a world championship in a more beautiful manner, even if it isn't a super hard spot.
In my option, game 2 is absolutely incredible, Nez's sacrifices starting with the Queen... even invisible to engines, initially. Given it was a classical game makes it even more incredible, again in my opinion.

These queen sacrifices are so educational like you understand the concept of sacrificing ~ to gain huge positional advantage or counterattack. The sheer combination of rook , knight and bishops is so deadly

as some1 else said you mean BLUNDER queen, any "blunder" GMs make are a sacrifice, they know what they're doing unlike you
Magnus' queen sac literally blew my mind. Like, that was such a beautiful move.
Love these videos. I'm learning so much on chess history, precious knowledge well delivered :D
19:43 I can hear Eric saying “Dahhh... forgot my knight was pinned”

I watched some documentary on youtube about the development of chess playing computers. So the first time they tried to apply machine learning to train a chess computer, they just fed a neural network a bunch of GM games and wanted to see how it performed. When they tested it, the computer played a normal opening then immediately 'sacced' its queen for no reason, since it had learned that in GM games when someone just yeets their queen they almost always win in the next 5 moves, so it thought that was how to win. Got me laughing lol
That's interesting. Could you send a link to the documentary?
@@kaustubhgupta46 Sure! It mainly focusses on Deep Blue and the first times it played Kasparov but I really enjoyed it :)

biggest hikaru queen sacrifice was him throwing chessbae to the wolves
Nice

What happened?
LMAO NICE ONE
@@Kastrom_ It's crazy to me that some people have enough of a life to still not know what happened. Edit: Believe me, it's not worth your time to go down that rabbit hole. Short story, chessbae was toxic, did some mean things to people, and was fired.
The Frank Marshall queen sacrifice is absolutely the most amazing because the sacrificed queen is thrust into a nest of Lewitsky's pawns.
The Kasparov one was the best, it's insane how deep the computation is and what balls of steel to make a positional queen sacrifice in a game like this.

Hikaru's artistic mastery is unmatched in Gefland Vs Nakamura with his sacrifices... Mind-blowing.
awesome collection and explanation of the queens sacrifices.
Queens when Hikaru sits at the board: *sweats profusely*
That's the effect Hikaru has on women
The 7 dislikes are from the queens who were sacrificed...

Ngl watching this after years and just spotting the first sacrifice in a matter of second of though is just amazing
I actually improved
this guy is the most influential influencer that can influence influenced people. Like foreal.
Wtf
7,139 languages in the world yet this man chose to speak straight facts.
Levy: We're currently in Germany with the white pieces...
Me: So where are the black pieces then?
Love your content, just subscribed, for me, far more exciting than queen sac or even smother is mate with a pawn, I cant get enough of those
The last one Magnus I mean I saw that one but thats what amazing is the fact that is possible to see and stunning looking
Tal ones are just insane next level dimension crazy shit
“You are not a gm until you have sacrificed your queen”
-Some grandmaster
*chess boner*
Levy deserves more. He is an absolute content machine. Love ya man
I believe I played my first queen sacrifice game just about a week ago. It was more of a 'go ahead and take my queen', then mate in 1 with my bishop. I don't know if that counts but he took the bate and I was very happy.
I would love to see you go over the greatest chess games with multiple queens on the board.
Sergey fell victim to 3 crazy queen sacrifices. Vassily, Magnus AND dubov
He also sacrificed his reputation
i clicked on this video faster than daniel naroditsky's premoves

Not faster than Tang
@@thebus3181 nah man nothing's faster than tang
I've seen all of these games before, it's good to see them again. Thanks
12:36 Duck sound
Hahahaua
The queen sacrifices where they get long term compensation and end up winning in 15+ moves are absolutely mindblowing. Just one of the most beautiful things in chess :D
Then look up Dubov v Karjakin, 2020.
Would you ever consider doing a video on some of the queen sacrifices by grandmasters that didn't work out? There must be some but you don't hear much about them. Loved the video btw keep it up mate 👌🏿
That’s just called a blunder
4:04
G5+, Kh5, Bg4+, Kh6, Rf6#
Causes the opponent to have to sacrafice the queen to get rid of the bishop (if you take the rook Nxf3 is mate) or the bishop for g6 (you can't play the same moves as black just take with h7 because if this happens after Bg4+ white has Kg6, which was taken by h7 before and if you move your rook white just takes) (playing Nxg6 won't work because Bg4+ is no longer gaurded by the knight)
I am rated 600 so very high chance I'm wrong, but I think I'm decent at puzzles when I actually go down the lines
Coming from a tcg background a piece being so powerful that losing it means you lose is so awesome, having one piece that can lead to a minus 10 is something that almost never happens in MTG
thank you levy, since i started being a viewer and replicating some of your openings and ideas i gained around 600 points (: i appreciate you and your content and all that you do for the chess community
Man I really love your vids, they help me a lot and make me a better chess player, Keep up the great work man!
Levy, your chess principles have really helped me win games! Thanks a lot!!! 😀😀😀
Very cool bro. Loved the presentation.
Keep rocking.
been following you since the queens gambit, nice content i watch some of your vids regularly if the title catches my fancy, and yet as someone who have played chess very seldom throughout my life, the most interesting thing i as a newbie heard you say was: the queen isnt there to protect the king, the queens job is attacking. and thats something you dont learn from a chess rulebook.
would be nice to see a video from you where you give lil nuggets of ingo that to you or anyone above 1000 elo would seem logical but that chess affictionados might not know.
"the rook is just immortal"
One second later-
"gets taken"
Great Video, Here are some of my picks if you make a sequel. Which you should.
stefan levitsky vs frank marshall 1912
Yuri Gusev vs Auerbach 1946
Suggestion : you should have covered dubovs brilliant sacrifice too!
The Queen may be the most valuable and majestic piece, but its not as valuable and majestic as you levy.
Sweet
why does the explanation of the queen sacrifice sound like a war documentary?
@Loren Swan cool
You should have included Larsen vs Petrosian 1966 Patigorski cup.
Most amazing Queen
Sacrifice of the century
You are amazing in analysis.. My friend... Thanks for this great video
Literally, every time I feel down a new Levy video comes out and makes the day bearable again.
this brings "oh no my queen!" to a whole new level
Genios del sacrificio!,gracias por el vídeo Gotham Saludos.
Hey man youre a great TH-camr creator, i have a lot of fun with your videos, Keep going
These and every time I blunder my queen, but somehow manage to pull it back
You forgot Paul Morphy when he sacrificed his queen against Lous pulsen
Have to mention McDonnell's Immortal, London m4 ;HCL 18 (1834), 04, rd 50, versus La Bourdonnais.
That final Queen to give the win, was dazzling. I suck hard on Chess. Never took the time to learn, I just know things go there and I lose. But forcing the king (Or pawn) to move only to then not but two turns later, make that same move that had to be played be your undoing. What a wild card play.
Levy, you are simply immaculate. Your Chess Content is absolutley astonishing and I don't know if you actually realise how manifestly good it really is. Seriously. Your intimate personality gives reminds me that there are actually great human beings out there in the world. Never stop with what you do!
