This happened to me not 10 minutes before this video was posted! Down a full rook and 5 pawns, and my opponent hung back rank mate trying to weave a net.
It's practically impossible to win down a rook for nothing in grandmaster level. His opponent just didn't play aggressive and it was hilarious to watch
I think what he means is the aim of the game isn't to win material and gain a point advantage. the aim is to checkmate and so your goal is to literally Rip their king's head off or lose your own
@@asdfghyter Alan Turing invented "running chess". You make a move, and your opponent has until you run around the building and sit back down at the board to make your move.
To answer your Quidditch question: In the books, the golden snitch is 150 points, which in many cases wins you the game. So you could be down 100 points but still win the game when your seeker catches the snitch. However, it's also possible to catch the snitch and still lose the game, which happened at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup we witnessed in the 4th book, when Bulgaria caught the snitch, but Ireland still won, because they were already 160 points up at that point. But in the movies, for some reason, they changed it so that whichever team catches the snitch automatically wins, no matter the score. Which makes every other player obsolete, I dunno why they made that decision. Also, fun fact: Harry Potter is what first got me into chess some 20 years ago. Looks like I went full circle now
Since when was clawing a victory out of a losing position against a 2500 rated player something to be ashamed of? Nevermind the fact that its also $$$ when shown on this channel to nearly 5 million subscribers. I got nothing bad to say about Levy and I'd do the same ting in his position, but this isn't a display of humility. Its a business and he gets to show how brilliant he is while rolling in money lol. "Bravo" for that more like.
@@NowhereMan7 In the typical world of content creators, there's not a lot of humility. It's refreshing even if it's a way to make money for chess-related content.
In Quidditch, capturing the snitch gives the captors team 150 pts and ends the game, so say a team is losing 10-200, the Seeker would not want to capture the snitch quite yet👍
@@Anubis_YTAgreed. He wanted to end Bulgaria's humiliation with only a 10pt loss. He knew Ireland's chasers would've pounded them even more into the ground otherwise.
I really just made popcorn…..and I was searching some videos on RUclips….. I was sooo desperate for a chess video….and literally 10 seconds later….you made me happy🥰.
13:50 the snitch is worth 150 points for the house and in the match so,yes if the score is 20-190 for example you cannot catch the snitch without losing.That happened in the 4th film in the Bulgaria-Ireland game in the World Cup
when I found queen a5 check I was sooooo hyped… thank you Levy be cause I am learning a lot from you, especially the way of thinking in the game of chess
13:28 . . . In collegiate wrestling, you can be down by points during the match, but still win if you pin your opponent. I wrestled for 10 years and I always remember when I was down in points during a match my coach would yell, “We need a big move!”. Now, that phrase is all I hear in my head when I am down material (points) in chess. This unique situation of being down points, but still being able to win against your opponent, would apply to almost every combat sport. This is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with chess. You may be down during a match, but you are never out. 🙏🏻
This is my first time watching him, and I'm just amazed that this man literally extended a 3min chess game to a freakin 27 minutes video....that is just so unbelievable
it might’ve been too on the nose, but the comparison of needing to checkmate your opponent when you’re down a lot of points of material can be likened to MMA: if you’re down every round going into the final round, your only chance of winning is a knockout
In quiditch each goal gains 10 Points. The game ends when the seeker finds the golden snitch, this gains 150 Points. So in theory when team A is down more then 150 Points and their seeker finds the golden snitch, team B wins.
In Quidditch, the first team that catches the snitch ENDS the game. This means that there is no time frame nor limit to any match. The books mention that a game could last months, where players take turns to rest. Only when the golden snitch is successfully captured (by a Seeker's hand, mind you) the match is concluded. The team who did it is rewarded 150 points, but that does not mean victory. If the other team manages to score more points only with the Chasers handling the quaffle (another ball) to the goal posts, say, Team A capture the snitch, but the score was 150 to 160 for team B, team B wins. The Seeker also has to keep track of the score BEFORE catching the snitch.
13:32 the golden snitch gives you 150 points which is super stupid because in 99.99% of cases, the seeker (the guy who tries to catch the snitch) is the only important player on the team.
“You can’t like punch the other team in the face when you’re down a lot of points.” I wonder if there is a sport he talks a lot about where you can punch the opponent in the face when you’re down points
13:50 In Quidditch a golden snitch is worth 150 points. If you down more than that, even if get the snitch you lose Thats how Bulgaria lost to Ireland in the Quidditch world cup final in 1994 which was shown in goblet of fire.
Never thought i'd see the day when Harry potter himself would be questioning on how many points the snitch is worth. Becoming a chess wizard really does weird things to people.
my kind of chess. i love "put the bishop in the corner, he might forget about it!" -- thats actually a strategy i use. works all the time with rooks going to B1
13:32 In the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, Bulgaria lost the final match by 10 points though the caught the golden snitch.Their opponents Ireland scored soooooooooo many goals that catching the snitch didn't matter.
That state of euphoria where you manage to stalemate or win a game down 10 points of material is unreal.
This happened to me last week. I was down so much material something like -9 and ended up winning with less than a second left. I was ecstatic lmao
This happened to me not 10 minutes before this video was posted! Down a full rook and 5 pawns, and my opponent hung back rank mate trying to weave a net.
It's practically impossible to win down a rook for nothing in grandmaster level. His opponent just didn't play aggressive and it was hilarious to watch
I just resign when I'm down a piece
I'm almost always down at least 2 pts when I win. Especially fun when sacrificing a queen for the win.
This is one of those setups you see in a chess puzzle and think "thats ridiculous, theres no way this could ever happen"
😂😆🤣 And yet it did!!
"In football you cannot punch someone in the face. In chess you can" - Rozman, Levy 😅
I don't know if that's true🤨
Chess boxing exists so yeah I guess

Levy is the greatest unbiased self-commentator of all time
it’s become tradition to watch levy daily while eating lunch
when I found queen a5 check I was sooooo hyped… thank you Levy be cause I am learning a lot from you, especially the way of thinking in the game of chess
No matter the blunders. The fact that you could see the zugzwang and checkmate at 2 seconds on the clock is insane! What a roller coaster of a game.
It is a perfect example of Gotham's words to never resign! You would never know, if you can actually get the win
Resign
Levy practicing what he preaches
This really just embodies “never resign”
Levy never fails to farm blunders for content
Lose at chess is such an underrated series.
Levy: Karma is ...
Me : a bitch
Levy: ...defined.
Me: That too
I watched this on stream and it was absolutely astonishing
That laugh at the end conveyed an emotion that i can only describe as "please revoke both of our titles immediately"

I now can say that levy is very good at losing 6 points of material in 2 moves. Levy won the hardest test ever
Levy’s titles are so clickbait that I don’t read the titles I just click on the video

Chess is like boxing. You can eat punches round after round. But if you‘re the one knocking out your opponent, you’ll win. But that’s super hard…

"And I think that he did that on purpose or he was nervous..." - Poet Levy "Rozman"
Thank you so much Gotham for bringing back my favourite series. I am looking forward to seeing more of this.
“You can’t like punch the other team in the face when you’re down a lot of points.”
I wonder if there is a sport he talks a lot about where you can punch the opponent in the face when you’re down points
This legit made me feel better about my games. Thank you. 27:31
11:20 wait isn't it better to take the pawn and leave the Bishop hanging?
Respect for being able to show the mistakes you make so we can get better!
Levy didn’t even say get outta here, that’s how hilarious this game was
Levy never fails to speak in riddles at the start of every video
In the thumbnail we can clearly see how Levy is secretly part of the Gojo clan and has the 6 eyes technique
A surely precious piece of History 🤯
Fun fact: This is one of the only How to Lose at Chess episodes where the players are not awarded honorary Grandmaster titles.
Levy never fails to let his chess speak for itself
Karma, while not with that word, is a biblical principle.
I loved the part where chess screamed in agony as it was being broken
You should play games against your viewers where they get lifelines to make you use Worstfish to play the worst possible move in the position.
Chess never fails to include Gotham in levy's videos.
And this is why you never resign.
As a guy named chess, I can confirm that Levy broke me
This really shows to never resign early in a game... anytime can happen chess is full of drama
I was feeling really crap this morning....but you became my therapy gotham and now I am just laughing on your commentary 🤣 thankyou buddy , love you❣️
If you stare into the 400 elo long enough, 400 elo will stare back at you
