    I agree with one of the chat comments. They stated that no chess engine would give you moves for a knight/bishop checkmate when you still have six pawns on the board. It would have calculated a mate in fewer moves by pushing the pawns.

    • @thezetes
      @thezetes 2 ปีที่แล้ว +74

      A 1300 can definitely know how to mate with bishop and knight. I learned it at 1300 myself. But the rest of the game wasn't played on 1300 level. Also it is very rare to see a 90 vs 80% evaluation on that level. Basically black played a fantastic game, but white was apparently even better. Now, it could have been a 1650 that couldn't stop playing after being completely wasted one night, and this is his start of the rating climb. Trying to research that possibility, giving him the benefit of the doubt, I could not find his account, which makes this thing rather shush, a couple of days after the stream.

    White in the first game was a smurf. I've watched my 400 friend play online, it's a miracle if either side can avoid hanging pieces for four moves in a row, saccing a bishop for mate is way, WAYYYY above that level.

    • @Bruno-xi3jm
      @Bruno-xi3jm 2 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      That was back in our day, now every 400 has this list of achievements:
      -Knowing every opening trap in existance so you can't trick them
      -Knowing at least 5 defences that will crush whatever opening you will play
      -Playing an opening that makes you lose to forced mate in 34 unless you sac your queen after the first 5 moves
      -Having a sixth sense so they can feel when your queen is blundered
      -Being able to find 20 move combinations to cash in on your weaknesses of the position
      -If you survive the opening, they'll make sure to set a field of traps where if you do one worng move you just get obliterated in every inimaginable way
      -Activating a seventh sense to make sure they know when you blundered your queen, which probably will happen if you, by a miracle still have one
      -Destroying whats remaining of your position using simple tactics your tiny brain can't even begin to understand
      -Reach the endgame and knowing how to solve any position with 8 pieces or less on the board in any position
      -If you're cheating or you're magnus carlsen and reach this level, he will activate terminal level and destroy the world.
      Congratulations, you lost 11 elo points

    • @64chess
      @64chess 2 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Strange thing to think about, but the N+B checkmate opportunity occurs in about 1 in 6000 games...but, if you think about it that means 1 in 36 million 2 game pairs result in BACK TO BACK N+B endgames (and that doesn't even account for games close in proximity...like one then another 10 games later, etc). So it's rare, but in the age of internet chess with so many games happening, it's not THAT rare. Happens to somebody.
      It also doesn't account for "near misses" where knowing it could help you confidently play the best moves. For example, I witnessed an OTB game where a 1900 admitted he very reluctantly went into the correct endgame of bishop knight and pawn vs rook because if his opponent just sacrificed the rook for the pawn he had no idea what to do.

    In defense of game 4, i dont remember who said it (Kasparov or Magnus) study lategame not openings - knowing how to mate with everything thats possible to mate with is better than knowing just a few openings out of all possible. As long as youre principled you can trade down to lategame and win there

    12:37 clearly he played Kh8 sacrificing his rook to Bf8 so he could bait Bg7 and provoke a rook move, because it would be rude to win while forking a King, Queen, and Rook all at once. That would totally devastate his opponent causing him to quit chess, and no more chess means no rematch. Big brain play by Gotham Sub to not only win the game but also maintain rematch chances.

    I learned the bishop and knight mate basically when I started and learned mating patterns (latter mate, king and queen, king and rook etc), just for fun (I started as an adult). So I was able to beat Stockfish with bishop and knight as an 800 or so. I see no reason why a 1300 wouldn't be able to learn it. It's not really necessary at that level, but also not wrong to study that endgame for two hours and be able to do it. To me, it was just the ambition to learn it when everybody in the TH-cam videos I watched said it was hard.

    • @thezetes
      @thezetes 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's the 80 vs 90% accuracy which is really shush. Basically black defended like a 1700, so it is pretty incredible that white beat him like he was a 2000.

    In levi's defense, a lot of people tend to play a lot better than their elo suggests but they have issues like watching out for tactics effectively or blundering something stupid which justifies them having that elo, except that doesn't happen every game and he gets the games it didn't happen in.
