Stockfish will give brilliant moves for being able to see a rook sacrifice. Since White refused to ever take it, every move while it was in danger that didn't save it was considered "brilliant" because they are all rook sacrifices. Notice when the queens were traded and it wasnt a brilliant move, that was because the threat level on the queen was higher than the rook sacrifice so it wasn't a sacrifice at that moment (but would soon be again).
Thx. I was confused. When he moved the white bishop and it gave it a brilliant move,, I couldn’t understand what that even did and why it was “brilliant”
congrats on the book! I'm an American who has been living in Brazil for the past 20 years. I've been working as a translator for the past 12. I would be willing to translate your book into Portuguese in exchange for a signed copy and nothing more :)
Olá, tudo bom? Como você começou a carreira de tradutor? Qual rota indica seguir? Minha irmã comentou comigo que tem interesse nessa carreira e eu queria ajudar ela. Agradeço!
I literally jumped out of my seat when he said its getting translated into Czech... Im hyped for the book! ... And now I jumped out of my bed bcs I saw 625 likes... holy crap
the rook sacrifice on b3 reminds me on that one ding-nepo game where ding sacrificed the exchange to do that and nepo declined but it would've been more accurate for him to take even with the 3 passed pawns in the A and B files
Don't really understand why the bishop movements were brilliant. They accomplished nothing, while some other moves that were considered only good gave black a really nice position.
stopped at 2:02 seconds to preorder your book. your channel is a major reason i learned how to play chess and i love it. can't wait to read it. frist physical book ive purchased in years
I think the initial move to B3 and the idea was brilliant, it seems like most of the subsequent brilliant moves were just because they didn't move the rook, because the obvious move is to get the rook out of the way of the bishop. Can't see how a 1000 rated player saw all this though without using an engine.
yeah for all we know it was a mouse slip he meaning to capture the rook but click on two square short accidently. (i don't think that the case or he would had move that rook some point much earlier but hey its possible it was an oops .. wait? that is good)
yeah they are obviously having assistance. They played like chess grandmasters and their elo combined is barely half the elo of a grandmaster. Also look at the time management, they didn't spend any time at all.
Yep. I think rook to b3 may be the inverse equivalent of the unrectified blunder that dings all your subsequent moves as being blunders until such time the initial offending blunder is finally addressed. Such situations are in need of being managed differently by the software. I'm not clear what solution might resolve this. And it will require some subtle parsing to make it fair. But this doesn't pass the smell test for most of the "brilliant" moves in this game.
You’ve got a really big Spanish fan of yours here who is willing to read your book either in English or in Spanish (I don’t really care although it’d be much better in Spanish)
Gotham: “I’m gonna show you the game in one second.” I was very confused at this. I legitimately thought he was going to blast through the entire game within a single second.
You had to see D4 coming a couple moves beforehand, obviously the reason he moved the bishop and was going for a discovered attack by moving the pawn. It also defended two pawns in the meantime, not that they were under attack at that moment..
Normally I'm not one to backseat and I would usually say "yeah these guys just played the best games of their life" but this was way too suspicious, checked the PGN and black played at 95% accuracy and his brilliancy had perfect continuation 😅
@@36mur More like they rehearsed this game. This was a rapid game and the game ended with both of them with 8 minutes on the clock. 800 and 1000 elo no blunders? no way jose
3:21 hey! i am quite new to chess but what if my opponent move the pawn to a3? how to respond? is that a inaccuracy? cuz i see many pro player can solve that.
a3 is a waste of time (to simplify) as black can trade the bishop and be one move ahead of white afterwards, and it's the opening, you should be developing pieces instead of pushing flank pawns
I'm about 1500 - 1700 rating depending on the time control. I found some of those moves but few of them. There is no way on earth that cheating wasn't involved in this game.
bro black spent 5 seconds on Rg3. Rg3 is a move that would need 20 minutes if not more for a grandmaster to calculate and evaluate, but my man 1000 from Algeria finds it in 5 seconds and already knows the entire continuation.
I think the brilliant moves counted when you sacrifice something important or hanging something obvious and focus on the objective, whether it's for better position or a checkmate. At that point the engine will give u the brilliant move
I think they were brilliant moves because the rook was being indirectly sacrificed every time and also the moves played were either the best or just really good.
Long time view, first comment - I wasn't aware that the book was able to be pre-ordered until this video. So, naturally I paused the video and pre-ordered it directly. Congratulations Levy. Keep creating fantastic content! Cheers from Sweden
Jin is 100% cheating Given he made the majority of his moves within 3-10 seconds and these brilliant moves are moves that I would never even consider even as a 1350 rated player, on top of the fact that it doesn't even seem like a mistake was made. I think this was a staged game for views too, it looks quite fake I mean they played perfect theory and the 700 elo player made just 1 inaccuracy that allowed this whole brilliant sequence to unfold. I guess this is good for content but this game doesn't feel real or genuine at all.
Agreed, as a fellow chess player I've never seen this many brilliants not involving a crazy rook/queen sac idea where you can just farm brilliants Not even Hikaru has gotten more than 6 Clearly fake
Well i thought the same as first but there's a glitch or maybe you can say stockfish considers it as brilliant move till the rook was hanging this is also known as brilliant farming it's becuz his opponent didn't took the rook everytime he played another move the stockfish saw the rook sacrifice and considered it brilliant the only move after the queen sacrifice wasn't considered brilliant cuz stockfish thinks the queen as a greater sacrifice than rook and would be the best move but not brilliant also the fact the opening is certainly staged as their no way someone with average elo of 900 can have this deep knowledge i think that brilliant sequence can be replicated but as I say technically they aren't brilliant moves it's the problem of the engine or that's how the engine works

3:00 I play blitz at around 900-1000 elo and it’s normal for people to know a couple moves of main openings such as the nimzo indian; I personally used to play that as black, although I can’t say I did amazing with it, lol
Someone in world: moves a piece GothamChess: Unleashes entire english vocabulary to define the power of that move! Again moves a piece: Gotham: Throws words that are yet to be discovered!
I think the algorithm has an element that uses hanging pieces in its calculation. Therefore a rook worth 5 points hanging on a completely open file creates the requirements for a brilliant move to add up on each individual move. Where a questionable move, now just becomes a good move, and a good move becomes great, and a great becomes brilliant.
I am not a publisher, but I can translate the book to Dutch if interested. French and German are also languages I speak but I trust myself most with Dutch since it's my mother tongue.

There’s quantity over quality and then there’s quality over quantity
And then there’s Levy with quantity and quality
The graphics on the book look great, Levy! I'm confused as to why moving the bishop back one square was brilliant though.
it just the engine broke for how many resacrafices black did
I think the difference is if the bishop was still on c6 when d4 happened the knight could recapture and both defend f3 and attack the bishop
Because Stockfish calculates you can fork two pieces 37 moves later…

White seemed to play such a good opening for 800, then resorted to form
And black played such a mediocre opening for 800, then resorted to engine's top moves.

bro black spent 5 seconds on Rg3. Rg3 is a move that would need 20 minutes if not more for a grandmaster to calculate and evaluate, but my man 1000 from Algeria finds it in 5 seconds and already knows the entire continuation.

And as an ironic sidebar, your promotion of the book came at 9:51 in the video. This was the hull number of the Destroyer I served on during the Vietnam War, DD-951, the USS Turner Joy, a famous ship. I faced the enemy's weapons at close range on this ship.
19:33 "i think resigning here is certainly premature and we don't want to be premature"
I just had one of those "I saw that in a Gotham video" moments. A checkmate in the corner of a long side castled king with two bishops. Joy :)

bro casually threw his phone down
3:00 I play blitz at around 900-1000 elo and it’s normal for people to know a couple moves of main openings such as the nimzo indian; I personally used to play that as black, although I can’t say I did amazing with it, lol
I love how his left eye was weirdly closing and opening as he talked about those moves.
Someone in world: moves a piece
GothamChess: Unleashes entire english vocabulary to define the power of that move!
Again moves a piece:
Gotham: Throws words that are yet to be discovered!
Congratulations and wishing you good luck Levy on publishing your new chess book 👍👍👍
The book will even be translated to the language of chess winners, Czech and mate. What a great day!
I think the algorithm has an element that uses hanging pieces in its calculation. Therefore a rook worth 5 points hanging on a completely open file creates the requirements for a brilliant move to add up on each individual move. Where a questionable move, now just becomes a good move, and a good move becomes great, and a great becomes brilliant.
if you do a book tour to Australia, a lot of people will be happy :))
If your book is still for sale at Christmas time I'll probably buy a copy for myself then it looks amazing
Got me with the, "i know this is the time when you click on other videos on your sidebar". As I was hovering over another video. Well played.
I am not a publisher, but I can translate the book to Dutch if interested. French and German are also languages I speak but I trust myself most with Dutch since it's my mother tongue.
