The ending is like when an entire army attacks the main character but they go one at a time and each one goes down effortlessly
That's the first thing I thought of 😭
pretty much every Jackie Chan movie
That king must've gotten alot of exercise running across the battlefield killing rows upon rows of pawns just by himself
Ah yes, the Assassin's Creed Gambit. Bold play.
@@LegoAssassin098 The Yakuza gambit is a very interesting gambit
I expected something bad, but that endgame was genuinely shocking.
I genuinely was speechless wtf
Must be the world record of pawn blunder massacre.
My mind blanked like wtf
I don't understand how you fuck that up
that ain't even blundering no more, that's straight up a felony 💀
Golden rule of chess: Hang your other rook when the first one is already hanging.
Just brilliant, Levy. This is why you have 2 million subscribers.
It was sarcasm
@@aghwarejesuovie4796 ........... I know bro
You have to hang both rook at the same time so oponent wont have time to take both of them.
@@kuruju_vtube lol
No no, it’s brilliant. See everyone knows the best move is always to sacrifice the rook, so it’s even better when you sacrifice both rooks. And as we saw, white ended up winning. It was all clearly calculated
Black's ability to blunder 6 pawns in a pawn endgame is just fascinating
In a pawn end game where black is up by 5 points xD
Like 30 consecutive worst moves in that endgame has to be a record
I think the thing people don’t understand is that it’s just as hard to genuinely be one of the worst players in the world. Because if the bell curve there’s someone out there who is the top guys just like Magnus Carlson who is, due to cheeses popularity now, would be the worst chess player in history. It’s just as hard and just as impressive to watch. The moves make no sense. They see things non of us could ever see. Lines and variations unlike anything. Just that those are fundamentally shit. I’d still pay to watch it tho
@@clickthisforawsomnes idk what you're talking about
@@Annihilator_5024 his point is that being this bad is actually an accomplishment. He would even pay to view these types of games where the players see lines that are so bad, no one else sees them.
Watching low elo players is like watching wildlife in its natural habitat.
Breathtaking, literally
Are you the real (chess) queen? The one worth 9 points?

I've seen better tactics from wild life animals than this circus, a bunch of orcas will bully these players at chess, and at sea, and even at land, I've seen better pack coordination from hyenas than these chess pieces, I've seen better attack strategies from animals in general than the attack "strategies" showcased in this video.
i feel like i've heard this joke from gotham but maybe not
As a 500 Elo, I can confirm it's a crazy world down there.
Crazy world down there? 💀😂

When I was learing chess with my brother we would regularly have to pause our games and take a few steps back because one of us had been in check for like 3-4 moves and neither of us noticed... do not underestimate the power of the newb.
Yeah, I remember I was playing a game w/ someone, don’t remember who, and after 3 moves I realized I was actually in checkmate, and we just didn’t notice the bishop covering the other piece lol.
When i was younger i didnt know that moving your king into a check was an illegal move, so i would for some reason do that all the time, or move a pinned piece. Maybe my reasoning was either, « i didnt know it was check » or « well you didnt have to take my king »
I used to play Chess like this: Pawn can only take directly forward and knights can’t go backwards or sideways so the games were like this: e4,e5,d4,d5, etc.
@@gamerprox2838 ewwwww
Lmao
Im in the 500 elo range, and I found this video incredibly helpful. The bishop pair mate in 2 was monumental fro my thinking, and the opening with the d pawn pushing on the knight were incredible. I also found the pawn pin very intriguing as it showed me how people at my level, including me blunder all the time. Thank you Levy.
This ending is like having a loaded gun, against a naked man 50 feet away from you, and then choosing to take out the bullets of your cartridge. And then, choosing to throw every single bullet at him, throwing the cartridge at him and then, after all that, throwing the gun at him as well whilst waiting for him to shoot you.
As a 500 i can confirm, this is how every single game goes here.
Lmfao
This analogy made my day
Lol, move your king with the pawns and it will never happen to you
XD op analogy
And in the end, naked guy assembles the gun and shoots himself with it. Thats how this game felt.
Levy seems very excited with the emotes LOL
Justifiably so :) i think they're super cute
I really don't like it... Gotham is emoting enough himself.
15:00 Unnatural 😆
@@recitationtohear ?
It's the funniest he's been since "five pieces left on the back rank like Exodia"
That king was like "Call an ambulance!.... But not for me!" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣the fuck. 😂 I'm dying 🤣
Reminded me of that Kenny Rogers song "Coward of the county". You could have heard a pin drop as the King locked the door.
As a representative from the 400 community this game is actually quite impressive as they did not hang their queens by turn five

I didnt even see them

Great to see gotham playing with the emotes like a kid
Yeah I can see him smiling. It's so fun
It's much harder to blunder all your pawns than to get a beautiful queen
damn that really wasn't click bait. That was the mortal game. What a battle between GM Mart and GM Sasha
But did white even win?
Im not sure if white knows how to checkmate with king and queen...
Sasha ain't taking no win 😂
this series makes me feel so much better every time
this game cant be legit like levys clickbait videos
500 is pure chess. Everyone knows the basics and anything can happen.
No no no these two are actually gods that came down to Earth to teach us how to properly play chess

@@ArkbladeIX Yeah sometimes she uses my id which messes with the home page but I don't mind (I do but I'm too scared to tell her not to)
It's funny that all levels of chess are just as interesting to watch as eachother.
Throwing 6 pawns in the endgame is nothing short of surgical
The fact that they held on and never gave up to play this masterpiece is crazy
You never give up in low elo
The brilliant move on the bishop was simply hilarious 😂😂
This is not a chess game. This is a storyboard for an episode of a comedy show.
"When one of your Rooks is hanging, what you should do is you should lose the other one for no freaking reason"
Ok got it Levy
yess and i thought he was serious hahahaha

What a chess game, the king thought his pieces were trash so he single handedly took everyone by his own hands
He won bc his king and pawn had plot armor
Yeah, dude was down 5 pieces but his king was literally "Fine, I'll do it myself" and went full Thanos on those pawns.
Why tf are these comments so funny?!🤣🤣
0:16 This just made me think about how some person has probably played the worst possible chess game of all time without knowing
That 1v6 in the endgame is a truly inspirational story
Pretty sure the opening from White was truly a brilliant move.
You may laugh, but how more principled can you be? He thought to himself, “I need to move my pawn to defend the other pawn, but I should move my bishop out first so I don’t block it in.”
Truly deserving of the honorary GM title.
Moral of lesson:As a low Elo player Never resign till you earn the title
I think my favorite part about the emotes is how much Gotham seems to enjoy them. I don't need them to enjoy a chess video, but the enthusiasm he brings to their use just tickles me.
This was poetry. Moving all at once with everything bluring together and then deafening stillness. Beautiful
Best thing about this 500 elo games are, that you never know the next move.
I haven't laughed this hard at such a masterpiece of an endgame like this game in such a long time
"why can't I take that ... oh wait im pinned, ill just move knight here and unpin it"
*moves knight again, leaving pawn pinned again
wait why cant i take that
That end game has me in tears. This is the kind of game they make movies and legends out of.
that last sequence with the pawn blunders had me HOWLING 😂😂 love the emotes by the way
9:22 I think my idea with Qc1 was "oh no, it's pinned, I better move it"
but it might have also been, "I gotta protect the knight"
I don't remember it fully since it was a few weeks ago.
That game was beautiful in all its chaotic blunderness! Also very relatable since i started playing chess like 6 months ago.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I cry laughed for a good 2 minutes. BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL.
@@Stabber85 thanks :)
@@Hailiums no problem :)
Thank you for this entertaining game and being brave to come out. Hope you get a pin, of no shame this time.

That first little facty fact about atoms was actually very comforting to a noob 😅
Yes, worry not. It is an understatement to say there are trillions of possible games worse than anything you've ever played 😂
Unfortunately its wrong. The number of ways to place 32 distinguishable objects on 64 squares is 64!/32!. Thats about 10^53 and the total number is almost certainly less than that. The number of atoms in 1 gram of something is around 10^23 and there are 10^27 grams in the earth which adds up to about 10^60 atoms in the earth alone. What im guessing he meant is that theres more possible chess games than atoms in the universe which is certainly correct.
It's even lower since you have to account for the indistinguishable rooks/bishops/knights and especially pawns
@@WaluigiisthekingASmith but... there can be less than 32 pieces as well on the board? wouldnt that make it so there'd be signifcantly more positions?
@@radio2955 So it would be the same calculation but with 31 distinguishable, 30 distinguishable, 29... and so on, but all of those are a lot smaller than for 32, so I think it wouldn't be that much bigger.

His king was LITERALLY his most active piece and captured more than any other
That endgame technic by black was mindblowing. U won t find this in any book.
I love GothamChess, not only does he review low elo players, he easily educates us with funny reactions and educational strategies for us to use
Amazing how Mart was able to chew up 6 pawns with Accuracy, but couldn't see how many chances there was for the double bishop checkmate.
Chomping pawns that your opponent serves to you on a platter is more 500-friendly territory than a bishop checkmate.
Probably , the most iconic endgame over all history
Little grammar lesson: since the word "Fianchetto" is an italian word, and being an italian myself, I just wanted to let everybody know that instead of saying: "Fianchettoing" as Levy said, you can say "Fianchettando" which is the correct gerund for the word "Fianchetto" in italian. (the phrase will be like: "Fianchettando the Bishop...". At least say: "Fianchetting". It just sounds better) Hope this is of some help :)
That golden rule line was hilarious.
The emotes are so funny. 7:20 “ The king dies” ☠️
This is why I always teach beginners to follow the NED rule.
N - Can you *neutralize* the threat?
E - Can you *evade* the threat?
D - Can you *defend* against the threat?
It's not something more advanced players will use, but this is an easy reminder for them.
"If you don't know what you're doing, the opponent won't either."
The emotes are a nice touch and you seem to be having fun😂
I don't see any emotes...
@@AtomicBlastPony 2:07 he places a "brilliant"
First of all, I want to say thank you for all these videos. Not only are they highly entertaining, but they’re also extremely informative and I’m learning so much. I recently acquired the position of “head of strategy club” at the school I work at, and chess has been the students’ favorite game by far.
Secondly, I must admit, I’m only a 500 elo player as well, but I still reign supreme at school… for now. My students are getting good and I’m trying to stay ahead of them.
Thank you for your videos!
Levy is legitimately more focused when he's distracting himself with the emotes. I say keep em, 100%
I love you adding the notations. Adds a lot of fun flavor.
This is simply legendary! I had a blast watching this game unfold!
Firstly, i am in 500 elo. For some reason, these people are more ridiculous than in my chess games
that's because all/most errors are shown here :)
It is because you probably don't see these things in games. I used to watch my classmate over his shoulder when he played in class and gave him a hint if he could do a fork or something. But if I played against him I would always loose.
As a proud 500 elo player, I feel attacked.
Same lol
study endgame, no one will be surprised of a 500 elo hanging the queen, but there are certain pawn king positions where elo isn't an excuse to not win
Oh my god, the ending of this game. I doubt I've ever see anything similar to this. Perfection.
I'm 350 elo and I think that I just can't conceptualise the board very well. I also can't seem to keep more than 2 outcomes in my head at one time.
I still find it addictively fun though, despite losing most of my games 😅
I hope I come back to this comment in the future as an improved player.
You got this homeslice. Chess can be an extremely difficult game to get good at. Stay with it!
@@worldsmostaveragemagician2246 thank you!! 😊 I'm still going and still enjoying it!
and remember that the most important thing is having fun.
@@THECOLLECTOROFSOULS In today's world of how obsessed people get about money and "success" I'm glad there are still other people out there who think this way.
What’s your elo now? I’d be happy to play you and maybe give you some tips if I win (I am 400 elo) if you still need a push to break past 400
One of your best closing statements!! “Go watch the World Cup” LMFAO
Now we know how Bobby Fischer went mad; he just kept watching games like these 😂😂😂

What emotes?

@@rubenbuehler I did, smartass. I didn't see the emotes until someone pointed out a specific time in another comment.
@@AtomicBlastPony miss
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
White had the biggest plot armor I've ever seen in chess
I’m a 500 myself and after watching this I don’t feel as bad about my own lack of skill.
Tbf you aren't rated higher than them, so you essentially have even odds when playing against these guys
I can't imagine anyone who remotely understands chess being rated 500 for very long if this is an accurate representation of the level they're up against
@@sietsejohannes i dont believe the endgame frankly. Im 700. Blunders certainly happen. Many and little distance between. But shit like that doesnt happen by accident. I think what happened. Was he pushed the h pawn, lost it. Went oh woops. fuck it heres my pieces
@@sietsejohannes I started 2 weeks ago on an account I dipped elo on a long time ago, pushed from 300s to 600 now and trust me it's not that easy, people around here have no plan or strategy at all and chase checks like animals, sadly striking a forced mate sometimes but usually end up playing their queen 7 moved in a row then resign as they blunder on move 8. 70% Cheaters are extremely common too since the Wired video opened the eyes of many wanabe chess masters, they don't chest every move yet they cheat most of them. Escape the 600s !!!!
@@yousofelhalfawy6839 I don't count people who aimlessly chase with their queen among those who remotely understand chess. I still encountered them at the 1000 level, but when you watch a channel like Levy's and follow his advice you should quickly be able to beat them. Around 1200-1300 is when people start playing a little bit more solidly and it becomes more about building experience, learning different openings and finding tactics.
I can’t beat a player who is 200 but I can beat a bot that is 800
I really like the emotes! Just so long as you keep making it clear they're not stockfish evaluations, there's lots of fun to be had with them
7:46 "cause black doesn't know knights go backwards" 😂😂 ffs. This is the quality commentary I stick around for.
I got an ad of caesar dog food at the start of the video and the guy in the ad looked exactly like levy and I was so confused
K, the bomb at 6:30 was amazing. Please continue the fun effects and notations for moves
I find it fascinating how both the absolute best and the absolute worst games of chess can look so incredibly poetic. This endgame strikes me as a very precise commentary on live in general, for many times we have just no idea what to do next.
I’m a fan of the emotes! Adds even more dynamic fun to your exceptional commentary.
I'm studying civil engineering right now and I have a lot of tough days but at the end of the day watching you makes my day. I hope you keep making more videos in the feature

@@arcanea9598 yeah coz 100% of the civil engineers are from india
That's a perfect comeback. White's definitely a GM in disguise
I don't even play chess casually, and watching that black king stand completely open, mate-in-two from those two bishops with white refusing to end the game, was actively painful for me.
"I have absolutely 0 words"
proceeds to explain the game with lots of words
"here's a golden rule of chess ok? when one of your rooks is hanging... what you should do is you should lose the other one for no freaking reason" 🤣🤣

Congratulations. Keep going man
@@assiaisindegyara4905 I was expecting to be clowned or something so I appreciate the positivity. 👍
I had a huge run from 250 to 480, and then couldn’t stop losing all the way back to 300, and now working back up. this stage isn’t easy!
honestly good job on the climb and gl in the future, but i dont understand how you can be at the level shown in these types of videos. Like when I started playing chess I was around the 1000 level (and still am, im also aware that 1000 is pretty bad) and I dont even play often. But yeah I wish you luck on your grind!
@Kanpindon well im not a complete beginner, my driver taught me how to play when I was young but I just knew the rules and wasnt very good (around 7 years old give or take). I started playing again like 3-4 years after I knew the rules and thats when I was ~1000. So yeah I guess i wasnt a complete beginner. I play occasionally play now and then but my rating has always been in-between 1300 and 800 (rapid). Im starting to get back into it and trying to push my rating to ~1500.
Black: I have an army.
White: I have a king.
That last pawn is officialy the Main charakter
the commentary on this is class, keep using the emotes 😂
This was the most entertaining chess match I’ve ever seen by far
Genuinely the worst endgame ive ever seen in my life

I watched that 6v1 pawn endgame with Battlefield 1 soundtrack playing at the background, it slaps hard
Stockfish vs ELO500, but it's not revealed who is the 500.
Absolute masterpiece
I actually quite like the double exclamation point for low elo games. I chuckled as soon as I saw you put it on the bishop move in the beginning
Edit: and I just saw the bomb. Yeah I like it. These things are cute
