    I've been really about Brussels Sprouts recently. They're not as bitter as they were when we were kids as they've done some cross-breeding of the commercial strain in the last couple decades to improve the bitterness of the sprouts. Also, boiling or steaming them was the worst way to cook them, and yet that's what a lot of parents did to them, which is a great disservice.
    My personal preference is to cut the bottoms off, peel any bad looking leaves off the outside, then quarter them. I toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and then roast them at 400* F for about 20 minutes. They should start turning brown and almost black on the outside when they're done. You have to get them turning color on the outside to know that they've sweetened up a little bit and cut the bitterness.

    Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.
    I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like "Castling" and "En Passant" instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.
    Don't support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.

    Game 4 is an example that being on 600 or 800 elo (without cheating) enjoying the game is better than reaching a strong level by the means of cheating... That's the reason you won't see any cheater in guess the elo series.

      @Utsav Joshi the ones I saw from guess the elo were 800-1100. I have recently played rapid, classic online. And unlimited time live chess with friends, ranged 650-1700 and nobody hangs queens and pieces the way they do on on guess the elo. I wish they did, just doesn’t happen from what I’ve played. I was thinking maybe it’s cause of time control and low rating. I still hardly see players hang even a knight. Especially as blatantly obvious as the vids we see. I hope they were real games and trying, it would make it more fascinating and funny.

    I really think it would be great to play some main lines such as the nimzo, slav, etc. I think it would be great just for variety but also for more instruction in different structures and positions. Even if you do not play these openings, having this variety may help to people to understand the openings they play if they deviate from positions they know.

  • @JCFoxpox
    @JCFoxpox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’m sure it’s a bad move, but could you explain why at 15:55 when looking for a move, why is Na4 not considered since it attacks the queen and protects the pawn under attack? If they move to attack the Knight then a3 helps seal it together and puts their queen in a weird spot to attack nothing?

    • @droben1553
      @droben1553 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hey, Na4 is the engines 3rd best move (+3.3) for white on depth 26 with stockfish 14+. So not a bad move at all! You can defend the knight later on with c3 or move it to c5. Nxf6 was the best move in the position (+4.5 depth 26.), Ne5 was the 2nd best move (+3.7 depth 26).

    • @jamess1977
      @jamess1977 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      if you plug this on an engine. computer will say LEVY IS IN FACT A HUMAN. he doesn't see that it is still a solid move but if you imagine what his thinking. Remember that levy ALWAYS says that you dont commit pushing your pawns because it cant go backwards and some squares in the future will be weak.
      This will give him a tempo and on his terms to make levy commit a pawn move. if this game had a million$ wage or a tournament, giving enemy an opportunity tempo is also a big blunder of your life
      If queens try to get rid of knight A4 by qb5, to defend knight with queen by pawn c3 and your knight cant move your knight is still stuck on Na4 protecting a pawn and lose tempo. if pawn b3 so the knight protected and also knight can go back to b2 or c3. And in all of this you dont forget the fact that you committed to move a pawn and some squares can be weak.
      BTW computer doesnt care so consider the move, anyways nobody can still beat a computer.

    • @faznaz7455
      @faznaz7455 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the inclusion of Na4 to move the Queen to somewhere supposedly less desirable is totally unnecessary. You essentially give Black an extra tempo although here fortunately Black can’t really make use of it. Nxf6 looked very appealing because it’s removing a defender of the king and there’s no suitable recapture that wouldn’t lead to problems for Black.

    Levy: When did I understand I was playing a computer?
    Audience: ...
    Levy: I understood it immediately. It doesn't mean I can't play a chess game and test my tactical skills while I banter with my followers. I'm trying to make content here out of whatever my opponents throw at me, and they happen to be doing this for free while I'm making my living. If somebody's idea of leisure is to use an engine instead of playing on his own it just opens up a new topic for me to riff on. Obviously it's not fun to be on my end but I'm not going to quit as long as "cheater" videos continue to gain a lot of views and expose one of the banes of online chess playing.
