It's kind of nice to see Levy guest starring in "Guess the Elo."
I always thought it would have been funny, albeit not really possible, to have one of his games snuck into guess the ELO. Maybe one of the blunder ones
@@OtherNinja_ it already happened and Levy didn't find it funny.
@@FourOneNineOneFourOne well dude someone spoiled it before it could have been funny

@@FourOneNineOneFourOne Which episode was it
The blunders I hate the most are the ones I calculate so many moves ahead that I forget the immediate threat that got me to start calculating
Yep, that's why his queen blunder was so relatable! Exactly what's happened there, I think.
I feel you at heart, anko
GTE submissions: "Wait you can calculate AHEAD?"
I played once a daily Game in a championship and i had to win so I calculated like 10 or 20 moves far,my calculation was correct but i forgot the 1 move asking an queen trade.
While you're on the humility train, I think it would be cool to see the most Brilliant moves played AGAINST you. The moves that you thought were the coolest and blew you away the most. Love the videos!
banger suggestion, he should do this
@@msaa1125 and then obviously finish the set with the worst blunders made against him.
Yeah that’s a great idea
nah thats torture
Great video idea
My blunder: opponent gains advantage of 10
Levy's blunder: position is no longer 0.0
Actually drawing a winning position is a blunder, you changed the game result
@@moustafa_1994 true
I remember being up a queen and a rook and with 1 blunder it was now -3 :)
I usually get there with 2 blunders like first one is +4 and only then +10
@@THEpicND wait it's possible to fuck up that badly?
if you call your blunders "sacrifices" then you technically never will blunder -Gandhi (probably)
I believe it was Lord Farquaad who said that
Why making sacrifices when you can Just blunder? Ahahhahah
Every sacrifice is a blunder if you are as good at chess as I am
Underrated comment
@@AlexDings Wrong, it was Sun Tzu.
"We traded blunders here like every move"
His viewers: *First time?*
The thumbnail picture: 0.0 Me: I make moves like this all the time
I read this just as he said it
Me: yeah, i did great!
Computer: 64, 5 blunders, 3 mistakes
Yes but a 4k elo machine evaluates those mistakes and blunders. If you arr sub 1000 some mistakes are completely fine
85 inaccuracies
Me when the computer tells me 64
very decent for bullet
You should definitely consider taking the Caro-Kann course, you will get 30% off

@@Botchewlism damn, time to break out the tweezers!
The grand finale was brilliant. Levy has such a gift for commentary.
No it was a blunder
ITS LEVY NOT LEVI
Gotham: Sees winning tactic
Also Gotham: Misses mate in 1
Also Also Gotham: Wins on time
Levy: I missed mate in 1. How r u suppose to take my advice!
Me: Well, you missed mate in 1, I create a mate in 1 on me in a winning position.🙂🙃
my opponent did this in a 100% winning position. i blundered the petrov queen trap for some reason and then he castled long after a while. he had a piece on his diagonal leading to center and rook on his left. i take the pawn that becomes free after the long castle and he plays g3 in hopes of trapping my dark square bishop but by doing that he blundered bh3# and it was the most hilarious game ever. i think he was -10.5 as black and then blundered mate in 1.
I still blunder a back Rank mate when Im +15 xD
I just give a check where the only legal move is checkmate.
Alternative title: "Botez Gambit: Crush yourself with this powerful weapon!!!"
No...such humor is illegal :D
@@omokennanna1750 That is humor??
@@jayr526 I think so
"The grandmaster has lost more than a beginner has played." Every loss and win is just one step closer to GM, I believe in you Levy
Yes, I really don’t want him to give up. He still 26, he can still become gm before 30.
yeah and i'm so proud of his humility to share the games that he lost with us. it shows resilience and an ability to grow.
Lol, I'm pretty sure you don't mean that. I'm willing to bet that he wouldn't become a GM ever
@@tanish4869 probably. However hes still 100x better than you will ever be
@@idontgetthejoke4393 Actually I don't see how that's possible. My fide rating is 1509 , so ×100 times that would be 150,900 which I'm sure you would agree is absurd.
Ah yes, a Guess The Elo episode featuring Levy. Let me grab a cup of tea for this.
Levy and Hikaru should do a Guess The Elo where half of the games are their own worst games
I love this video. "I missed mate!" or "I hung my queen!" and a few moments later: "I still won". I don't think I will ever resign again after this.
Even if you won’t be GM you’re legacy will be more impactful than most GM’s by introducing and teaching chess to a whole new generation for free. 🐐
I like how in most of these examples your opponents also temporarily forgot how to play chess, you just forgot more…sounds like 90% of my games
Can’t forget how to play chess if you don’t know how to play it in the first place, which I like to think is literally everyone except Magnus
OTB can be even worse as illegal moves are possible. I have continued games with my king in check for multiple moves, unnoticed. My opponent once wound up with two bishops on the same color squares, neither of us could remember when that happened (it wasn't an underpromotion scenario).
I had the reverse experience yesterday. I had a game in our local league which stockfish put me at 95% accuracy and in a completely drawn position... I blundered mate in two. Chess IS tough.
Rip
A couple years from now, someone should get a friend and play out these games exactly as they are, and then submit them as your own for guess the elo. Then when Levi screams at the mistakes people make and how these players can't possibly be over 1400, link this video back to him. =D
That would be pretty funny but I think he'd remember them 😂
You sir, are a genius
thanks satan :)
This is the kind of person the devil is afraid of
@@who8thecookies Well my name is short one letter of spelling out Satan, so you know...
levy: "am 2350 after many years. i suck"
me: "i am 1650 after many years. im pretty decent"
i'm an intermediate player and after like 6 months i am literally a diety.
cool
me when I first reached 1500: "I'm only 10 more tournaments away from 2500!"
xddd
@@AlphaRW what rating
My worst move was in my first ever rated game in high school. Something like fifth move I picked up my kingside knight and hemmed and hawed trying to decide between e2 and f3, and compromised on e3. I somehow got it to the point where my kingside quadrant had 15 pieces in it. When I went back and replayed it from my notes, I saw the illegal move and threw it away in disgust. I keep wishing I kept it because I mapped out all the exchanges and came out a bishop ahead and eventually won the game.
Believe me, your worst move are blunders you never noticed and your opponent also didn't notice and they happen all the time.
Levy: Yeah these blunders aren't my proudest moments
Literally all of us: "You at least win some of the times when you blunder :("
I assume this going to get lost in the comments but I wanted to say something anyway. I have been struggling with some of the worst, most dangerous depression in a long time. To help my healing process, I have been focusing on finally learning chess. Your videos have been my main learning source because of how good you are at present the information and keep it exciting. I'm only in the 300s elo right now, but I am super proud of my 88% accuracy rated checkmate win i had yesterday. Thank you for having such great concise content with so much energy. You're always helping people learn and get excited about chess. Thank you so much.
Levy doesnt blunder, he just forget that he is an IM.
Levy: I forgor 💀

All of you are wrong
I went through all your videos and ended up realising that i have watched almost all of them, I’m currently at 1600 elo and almost everything I learnt was from you, thank you for introducing me to a part of my life i never knew would end up impacting me so much
Any insight on which videos/concepts helped you the most so far? How did you break out of that beginner stage into intermediate?
Levy: “My 7 worst blunders…”
Also levy: of course it was blitz so I still won the game
Me: my 7 best moves
Also me: although I still lost the game
And levy tells us “checks, captures, attacks.”
its almost therapeutic to see levy making similar blunders to me, the humility is super great to see and its not only entertaining but also instructive
Most of us are used to the computer telling us we blundered. Discouraging as it can be, it's not as disheartening as when the computer asks, "WTF is wrong with you?" I hate that.
This video was priceless. As a chess player who blunders constantly, I needed this in my life! Well done, sir!!
LEvi you need to look at checks it can be mate, hope it helps you get better at chess.
The only time that I ever look at Checks is at breakfast.
I just finished the best moves video and Levi said "tell me if you want a video about my blunders". I refresh and here it is 😅
Idk if i spelled correctly
Me watching Levy’s blunders:
Well... that looks normal to me
Edit:
Some people misinterpreted my comment!
I meant that during my games those kind of blunders are just normal.
Apologizing to Levy if he also misinterpreted this!
I should have explained myself better. Levy doesn’t deserve at all any of those hate comments (even though most are just trying to get pinned).
Glad he didn’t pin me so far.
Blunder
No pin of shame, but Gotham got burned.
@@bennetth7008 jokes don’t get pin of shame
@@bennetth7008 Oh my god!
I think I should explain myself better!
I meant that, in my games, those blunders would happen naturally!
I'm with you, man. I blunder as if it was the point of the game
Someone needs to submit one of these games to guess the Elo and see if levy roasts his own game
Nothing like Levy having "Guess the ELO" moments with himself in his own games - awesome stuff and thanks for sharing these games
9:19 Levy being a perfect wingman!😂😂😂😂😂
I literally just had my worst game in months with 12 blunders, +9 up then threw so heavily from not considering a transposition - your video has made me feel much better about it thank you
Biggest takeaway from this is that Levy has great time control vs. Equal-to-lower rated players
This was amazing. Those final two games on the 'Guess the Elo' would have been unbelievable.
Love the humility and humour! It’s so hard to be able to laugh at your own mistakes while also pushing to be better. You’re an impressive man, Levy!
Never seen someone more humble than Levy. He accepts defeat in the right way and does everything in the right way. Your the GOAT of chess and you will not only become GM but you will become Super GM. You are the most open youtuber also. Keep it up!
Levy is so self aware that he releases back to back videos with polar opposite concepts. Kudos Levy, keep up the good work, we all love you! Just what I needed to see when I was craving some guess the elo!
Levy
Self aware
Does good work
These videos are so good!! Pure entertainment! thanks Levy
Yo I hope you make more videos like this in the future from the other data you had. Its dope you put yourself out there like this.
We're all horrible at chess! Love your content bro. Appreciate the effort you put in
Expect of mangus lol
@@zisischartampilas6601 💀
You don't suck at chess and your videos have made me and many other better chess players! Even if these are your biggest blunders you are still a fantastic chess player and great inspiration to many! Thanks for also sharing content like this with us!
Levy: "How do I see the attack on my Queen and forget it on the very next move?!"
Me, perfecting that skill:....
This was so entertaining! Thank you Levy, great work!
Hey Gotham, there's this really cool TH-camr who teaches chess. There's this concept called continuity, when your 3rd opponent moved the Queen behind the Knight he was threatening a discovered attack! If you remember what your opponent was threatening a move ago you will surely improve! 👍👍
Levy in a nutshell:
Sometimes maybe good Sometimes maybe shit
Love your channel I'm really leaning when and what to sacrifice... plus I don't get bored listening to you ... thanks
"I was about to throw up... I mean, how are you supposed to take my advices" you are killing me Levi 😂😂😂😂
153rd day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan: "Facc schif a scacc"
Clicked faster than Hikaru pre-moving in bullet chess.
He quit bullet chess btw - he only plays it if there's a big prize tournament
Absolutely loved this video and the last. Great job and ty.
Nice video. In the spirit I would like to see a video on your best/worst book moves.
Gotham,you're one of my favorite TH-camr and make me laugh everyday!
I don't care if you don't see this,
But if you do,
Don't listen to haters and it's ok to have blunders,no one is perfect!
We always try to support you, have a fun day!
Respect to pianist and levy
@@hybrid5851 thanks my friend!
It’s a good thing that no one is actually good at chess, but you’re better than 99.%
Yea, Magnus sucks.
@@jacobshirley3457 compared to Leela and Stockfish - he does.
@@igorbednarski8048 Unless they've solved chess, they suck.
Awesome two episode videos, love to see more of them.
18:50 "This is mate!!!"
ΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑ!! This was the most hilarious video you've ever done! Well done
This guy's blunders look like brilliancies to me.
GothamChess saying that heʼs horrible at chess is like me saying that Iʼm good at school. Itʼs just not true.
Lmao
Could you make a video of the patterns of your own mistakes/blindspots? Something like, 'I always trade into a losing endgame, etc.'. Like how beginners usually struggle with central pawn captures? Really appreciate all the hard work
Game 3 in particular reminds me a lot of my games. I see the threat and make a note of it, and then immediately forget it.
Clickbait (спецом пишу, мб закрепишь этот коммент)
Outstanding 😆 under that much time pressure it’s hardly surprising it randomly comes off the rails sometimes. Seeing missed 3 to 5 move combinations, opportune mates etc would require seeing everything at once with no time for part by part thinking.
Exhausting but instructive and hilarious. Recognize those blunders.😁 Thanks Levy
This is the video that decided it. I just had subscribe to your channel (it’s about time, after watching all those videos without doing so). It takes a certain kind of courage to do a video like this levy. Bless you!😊
Amazing keep the daily stuff coming!!
One of your best! Simply because we all can soooo relate to your frustration with yourself! Kudos for your humanity!
Great stuff! You use a lot of the same expressions I use when reviewing my games 😂
Game 6 had me laughing when your opponent hangs mate, great video.
this was great really enjoyed it. keep it up ur the goat
One of your best recaps, Levy. I hope it wasn't too painful to relive those games.
I have done the premove blunder in the last example a number of times. I learned my lesson and now never premove castle if there are pieces under attack.
It’s nice to know the way my 400 vs 500 games often end is also possible at a 2800 vs 2750 level. Love the ones where you both blunder. Thanks for all of the great content, I’m just getting back into Chess after 20 years and am finding you both very informative and very entertaining.
The Brilliant video followed by the Blunder video was amazing. Keep making awesome stuff.
Few days ago I lost a game where I was up two pieces and the queens were off the board. I needed this. Thank you, Levy!
Nearly every game: Levy with a humblebrag 'oh I'll never be GM' but 'Oh I won on time!' (the whole point of blitz/bullet!)
I sometimes see a treath like 4 moves ahead and when the time arives to move away i forget about the whole thing and lose
8:24 I definetely want a t-shirt with that phrase 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Levy, I've watched your content both on twitch and youtube since late 2020 and learned so much from you, but this has to be the most hilarious and relateable video I've watched on your channel outside of GTE. Thank you so much for this gem and for putting your mistakes out for all to see. We can all definitely agree... Chess is hard
Blunder 3 was hilarious. These videos are very entertaining.
The Rozman French makes an appearance. I remember getting your video on that line in my recommended recently having never seen it before.
Those were some "Blunderful" games levy ;) keep up the awesome content!
Fun video, I'd like to see the evaluations
12:15 i laughed so hard... even the commentary in defeat is glorious
I totally hung a mate on my first date too, there is a slot in the thinking process where you put "don't ever do this", as calculation intensifies that slot overflows, unless you're Hiraku.
Love your humility. Great video mate.
It feels better to know this can happen to anyone regardless their skill level. I feel like a stupid when my opponent makes a mistake in the opening and gets away with it or even gets the upper hand thanks to it. But it helps me motivated to study more and do better.
19:18 " and then I don't play fiiiiive!" Hilarious!!
I had a bad day but there’s a new gothamchess video and now it’s better
Honestly I liked your chess style. Really aggressive games. Was impressed by your chess moves specially considering it’s blitz games
Really enjoyed this one. Maybe do one with blunders from grandmasters, or very high rated players from history.
This is Levy's best video, hands down. Not only is it lovely to see someone with 2700+ rating make the same braindead moves I usually make but also Levy's energy and lightheartedness were just *chef's kiss*
My favorite blunder. I moved a rook to the back rank to check the king, and to my horror the king somehow moved by three squares and took my rook! I then realized that was not the king, that was the queen. I thought I was checking the king but I was checking the queen, which is not a thing and the queen simply took my rook. I stared at the board in disbelief for about five minutes after that.
Thanks for the laughs as always Levy! You da man!
I feel you Bro. Just when I think I'm getting better and seeing things, that's when I get beat to a pulp.
There was a game where I blundered a queen and a rook at the same time, thinking I mated my opponent. Later into the game, I play moves that blunder my remaining knight and rook. I lose the game.
Watching Levy make the same blunders you expect from a 500 is quite the experience
