Underestimating a Wild Opponent (CHEATER) | Using the Clock as a Weapon #42

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Hope you're all enjoying the World Championship :) After I notch a bizarrely easy victory early on, my fast-playing opponent begins to create problems. Never take your competition lightly! UPDATE on 12/2/2021: My opponent's account was closed for Fair Play violations
My goals in this series are to 1) stay even or ahead of my opponents on the clock, and 2) trust my decision-making. Follow along as I try to avoid perfectionist tendencies and apply pressure with the ultimate equalizer in competitive chess: the clock! #Chess #BlitzChess #ClockAsAWeapon

LOL, this guy was banned less than 24 hours later 🤷♂️
Cheatamine overdose!
Wow 😂
Ikr
surprised they banned him, there's quite a few cheaters on there who never are touched, including a friend of mine who's had an active account since 2019 and admitted to using an engine for certain moves.
I felt like this was the case but he wasn’t overly blatant about it. He did have about a 1000 point rating hike though. I don’t understand being so willing to waste your time as well as his own for literally no benefit at all.
Love that hoodie. Where'd you get it?
Need more TH-cam videos 👌👌
John just casually saying "ketamine overdose" must be one of the chess moments of the year
Seeing this notification was the serotonin boost of a lifetime, good to see you back John! Loving the twitch streams btw
that username is godly Mr. Chunger
Serotonin boost of a lifetime
@@SC-xh8ju Serotonin boost of a lifetime
my favorite youth pastor is back
😅
Overheard in John's room after recording:
“He got me,” Bartholomew said of KetamineOverdose's three wins over him. "That f***ing KetamineOverdose boomed me."
Bartholomew added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
Bartholomew then said he wanted to add KetamineOverdose to the list of players he works out with this summer.
Vintage pasta
I love when I see r/nba pasta in the most unexpected of places
The fact that John hearted the comment implies he lurks there which you love to see
Thanks for downloading this John...miss your teachings lately. We need you more often on TH-cam...:) That guy was sneaky good.
THE RETURN OF THE KING
His opponent was definitely cheating 🙃. His blitz rating in September was 1000.
Not to mention he's lost to a bunch of 600-1200 players and beat someone whose account was closed for fair play violations. I don't like accusing anyone where it's not warranted, but I wouldn't be surprised if his account gets flagged.
If you pay attention to the move times you would have known after 2-3 minutes...
Yeah, only 2:14 into the video and the weird moves are just ridiculous for a 2700. I am only around 1800 and I can tell, so John was probably just being polite/classy like usual.
1000 in September? Ben Johnson should have him on an adult improver podcast!
I had suspicion that he might be cheating because I feel like really high level players wouldn't name themselves "ketamineoverdose" lmao. But since he played quickly and relatively well in time scramble end games means he likely is a decent player without the engine which makes him an even better cheater, if he in fact is one
The opponent has been banned. He probably used the engine on and off.
Crazy. Yeah, I wonder what the strategy from him was here - he was all over the map
@@JohnBartholomewChess Yeah, that is the only logical explanation I can find. He is definitely not someone who just destroys you as engines usually do, but his profile was unusual because of some losses against novice players 2 months ago. You realistically can't really go from that to 2 700 rating in 2 months...
I love watching your games. So educational 🙂
"hey guys this is John!" The most iconic line in chess history.
John this is bringing tears to my eyes. KEEP UPLOADING AGAIN IVE CHECKED EVERY DAY
Using Stockfish as a weapon.
Every day John uploads is a good day
So awesome to see you online again John!! All the best from Australia. PS nothing wrong with your play or time management. it looked suspiciously like your opponent was turning on and off an automatic chess engine
How I've missed seeing the name John Bartholomew pop across my screen.
Great to see you back on TH-cam, would love some Climbing the rating ladder content as well. Enjoy your holiday!
If this player is a cheat as others have suggested they are cannier than most. They made sure to lose a few games, and not have every move be an engine move given the blunders made. That last game in particular if they were cheating they would have turned the engine on only at some point later in the game.
Of course it is just as possible there was no cheating at all, but still very strange play. I would have guessed they were sandbagging if John hadn't won the second game.
They have been banned, so their cheating is no longer theoretical.
As a highly, and well established chess player of a solid rating of 1700 on 3+2 blitz on the chesscom platform, even I was wildy confused by that first game!
Haha!! I'm glad we're on the same page about that one
Even the fourth game decisions were incredibly odd. The voluntary exchange sacrifice is certainly not how I’d expect a 2700 online player to play.
To me 23:11 Bb1 played in a split second was really tricky and something I wouldn't think about in the endgame
@@conradnal8934 Agreed, that move was a major red flag.
John, it so good to see a new video!! Thank you 🙏🙏... I must have watched your entire library a few times now during the hiatus 😁. TH-cam is just not the same without you sir.
P.s. standard video next?? Please 🙏😊
We miss you John. You must be super busy with everything you got going on, but we can't get enough John videos. You single handedly built everything I am in chess. Appreciate you good sir!
@@raymondfitzjohn5838 Thank you for the kind comments, guys!
John, I've missed you! Hope to see more of you in the future!
I’m gonna watch this if you don’t mind

Loved seeing the new video notification pop up. My mama says always ask what you want , you never know if it may turn true! So I will stick my neck out and ask that if you are considering a new Climb the ladder series please consider me! 😉
Hi John. Thanks for the TH-cam video. More please :)
Thanks for tuning in again, buddy! :)
Please do more standard videos on you tube John. They are the most instructive from a learning perspective. Thanks
It's actually more entertaining watching cheaters beat you than watching you beat patzers.
Good to see you, too, John! Did you buy that sweater from the same thrift store that The Big Lebowski got his?!
Thanks, Phoenix! Old Navy - it's darn comfy
@@JohnBartholomewChess chess masters shop at Old Navy?????
Lookin sharp John!!
After a long hiatus, John is back! Happy to see your notif☺
Missed you john. Wishing u all your success in life.
Cheers, Basidh - appreciate you being a long-time viewer!
KetamineOverdose is basically evil John: super fast, aggro play with relatively shaky fundamentals (at least for a 2700)
...and using a computer.
@@yorickstrangefield2976 Whoops I didn’t read the Wiki leaks exposè on this dudes profile in the comments before I posted this
Cheating at chess is pathetic.
It's not hard to imagine what goes on in the mind of a cheater, but I don't think I'll ever understand it. It makes no sense.
Nice to see you back, John.
Missed taking the free rook on that last game time scramble in the end :) Too little time to see though.
Wow thanks John! You are the top chess streamer for me.
Great to see you post to TH-cam as I don't frequent Twitch. Hopefully, you'll get back to posting here on some sort of regularity again.
Until then, take care...may the chess gods smile on you. 🙂
Great to see you John. You’re a superb instructor.
Would have loved to see a brief analysis on the endgame of 5.
If only Stockfish could talk. Ne8 -> Nc7 -> Ne6 was.... interesting. To say the least.
I need that hoodie. lol. Where do you get that? QUICK TH-cam-COMMENT SECTION USE YOUR MAGIC
JB always my favourite chess channel
10:02 with this Ng3 move, why is having an open h file not a concern here? That would just bug me I would never think to make that move
Definitely great to have you back on TH-cam John, your videos are excellent. Enjoy the holidays 👍🏻
I have OCD & can't watch perfectly placed pieces moved to worse squares over and over.
If any cop asks you where you were, just say you were visiting Kansas._))))
i don’t think that it is cheating (engine). you will not stand a chance against stockfish. the quick rate shifting from beginner to professional in a short time may be because someone else took the account!
Just coming back since I haven't checked this channel in a few years.
Welcome back!
Thank you!
So happy to see you back!! Perfect news before my two exams today
Thanks for posting the video to youtube!
Why not take the rook at 23:52? Am I missing something?
The opponent was k-holing.
Where did that big king behind you go? :-(
John vs stockfish . Great games
While watching reruns of Baywatch, I randomly thought that I have not seen any recent videos of JB. After I hit the bell to receive all notifications I read a few comments and learned that he hasnt been on TH-cam as much lately. WELCOME BACK JB! Stay for a while please.
PS Sweet Christmas Tree
Stockfish is strong in this one.
This is one thing that titled players and other chess players don't understand about cheaters. If you are going to cheat in chess and you use say Stockfish, you're gonna end up rolling through everyone like a hot knife through butter, but that's not good because chesscom will detect this real fast and just ban you. Basically, if your move accuracy is high 90% every game and you're winning every game, then of course you're cheating and the algorithms will catch that. So a smart cheating player will not always play the best move, they don't want to win every game, etc. And it's so funny to me when a chess streamer gets so excited about beating a cheater, because the only reason they're winning is because the cheater is letting you win (again, because they don't want to win every game which would get them banned real fast). Anyhow, that's why the odd play from this dude, and that's why he was able to make it all the way to 2700 before getting caught.
It won’t be long before this strategy doesn’t work either. 2700s don’t lose like 1000. This guy’s losses were like someone way weaker and I’m sure algorithms will recognize that soon enough.
The only thing I don't get is why you think you're the only one with this information. Everyone knows these things.
Glad to see you back on TH-cam, John!
I just took up chess two weeks ago after I retired after 38 years...and I have been watching your videos on how to play chess...ie undefended pieces etc...so how do you cheat in online games. Just curious? It seems impossible to cheat. Thanks for the videos.
I paused the video to not hear the result of the world championship, but then when I resumed you told it anyway :(
jk, great to see you on youtube. :)
If you were Venom from Spiderman, and you needed a good Christmas sweater, what do you think it would look like?
Hey, look who decided to show up!
Hi John!
I was wondering if you plan on covering any games from the world championship series? Your coverage in 2018 was very thoughtful and I am struggling to find alternatives
Thank you, King! No official coverage on my end (I'm actually heading on vacation for a few days soon, so it would have been interrupted), but fortunately there are more coverage options than ever this time :)
@@JohnBartholomewChess Enjoy your vacation!
@@kingmongkut2202 Check out the Chessbrah recap, it's pretty chill coverage by GM Aman.
john rocking his millionaire sweater. look at this guy
In game 4 white is hoping you go c6 or a6 after Bc4 so they can go Bxf7 followed by qh5 and then white can either win your queen with a discovered knight check or check mate you but even after bxf7 you can still go kd8.
Eric Rosen made a video on it a few years ago and if memory serves me right he also tried playing it against you.
I also play it in blitz but the downside is that if black doesn't fall for the trap white is just down a pawn with little to no compensation
How he can cheating so fast
I think for the last one year i wasnt watching any chess video but the moment notification of your video has come i am a chess enthusiast again
Great to see you back!
It's almost midnight and I should go to sleep, but John Bartholomew just uploaded a video so all my plans go out the window!
Hey John, Its amazing to see a video of you pop up! Are you planning on getting a more consistent upload schedule schedule, or is this a one off thong? I understand either way, I know you're very busy, but streams are impossible for me to catch. I am just wondering
Good to see you back on TH-cam, John. The stream is good, too, but I get so much out of these videos. Still working my way through your Standard series. (Iosue_Ardeus)
Would really like you to do Titled Tue again. This was a great vid though
Great seeing you back on YT! Congrats on the new Chessable app!
MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHN
Great to see you back posting on the TH-cams mate, always fun games to watch
Yay John’s back on TH-cam!! Great birthday present
I waited 8 months
23:51 hey john love from MN
was this not a freeeeee rook??
Greetings!! Yup, it was - too much premoving :)
Rook hangs at 23:51
John’s back!
Good to see John is still active. I don't watch twitch so this is my only source to watch this great player.
Great video!
Still entertaining
You’re amazing and your videos make me happy 😎
Your awesome man! really love to hear your thought process. Very helpful 🙏
Merry XMas
Up !
Thanks for the video John. Would you ever consider doing a chess strategy course on Chessable, in a similar vein to 'Chess fundamentals' but more extensive? I'd be first in line to buy that. Specific openings are a bit much for me to focus on right now, so I'd really like a more general strategy course on chessable, preferably by you!
Have you looked at his 1. D4 course? It's very general opening ideas; might be close to what you're asking for.
Never clicked so fast!
Man, I've been worried about John. Relieved to see him back.
I tend to find that the more interesting the name, the more interesting the play
What kind of sweater is that John!?
Always great to see you John!
thank you for uploading again!!!
Omg John is back on TH-cam!!!
So happy to see you upload again!
woooooooooo yay so happy that you are back
Nice to see you back on TH-cam!
