32:34 Queen to C4 actually isn't game over because you can use a spell to let your bishop jump over the king to take the queen
Woa ur RIGHT, I was convinced he'd lose too
YES!! someone else saw it and said something
Exactly
I was in so much pain seeing levy just completely ignore the fact HE can jump over his OWN PIECES. the queen can chase but it ain't safe!!
the bishup
11:36 - green spell instead of freeze was mate
32:35 - not mate because you spell your king and bishop their queen
haven't played yet but the green spell essentially turns pieces into the canon piece from Chinese chess, which is my fav
That's JUMP SPELL
Fr jump spell, my valks are already crying at that nomenclature
At 29:30 also freeze the enemy king
oh my god i kept screaming (not literally, i was quite the whole time) at the screen for him to take the king with the jump spell!!

@@bpzrтолько через сайт
@bpzr you can't. You can only play chess 960 on mobile, and you are able to play when choosing which colour you are against a bot, you can choose custom
I love this variant so much. It allows for some crazy wacky tactics and its just awesome. Like how Eric Rosen quickly discovered that the Scandinavian Defense is just about the worst opening you could play as Black because it immediately transposes into a Botez Gambit xD
It’s even worse than that. Scandi is mate in 3 with Bb5 followed by Qh5.
What about the modern variation with Nf6?
@@LostPleir d5 is too late. There’s only 6 moves that don’t hang mate after e4 (or e3) and those are: a6, c6, Nc6, g6, e6 and e5. Nc6 is bad, g6 loses a piece I think, and a6 is also pretty bad (although it is rather tricky if white tries to punish it and I’ve won a few games with the move, and beat a 2000 with it). Caro, french and e5 are all fine, just watch out for the light-squared bishop.
Thank you for introducing me to the world of botez gambits
In the last game after Qc4 you could’ve done jump potion on the king and take the queen with the bishop
exactly what i was looking for, atleast someone noticed.
Black wins by playing Qe4 instead. White has no freeze spell and king can't escape e-file. On black's next turn green spell to e3 and queen captures the white king.
I thought this comment was a joke until i saw the video 😭

@@StavanShah-ST54just scrolled a little bit
Ah thats so sad... I thought this would be Oats Jenkin's Chess 2
Feel like reactive spell counterplay is the way to win in this mode.
In the position at 31:30, white can play queen a4 while freezing the black queen. This threatens to take the king (with a jump spell) and the black queen on h4. Black has to address the threat to his king by either moving or blocking, either of which would end up loosing a queen.
They would play pawn to b5 and you can take their queen but then they would take back with rook, you take their rook and only end up with 1 extra rook
@@bobbyspicer5041 You say that like trading queens, jumps and freezes, winning a rook while activating your own, and neutering black’s attack all in the span of 3 moves isn’t the best option available.
@@bobbyspicer5041+5 advantage is better than nothing, even in spell chess.
being out of freeze first basically auto loses given any check on the king can insta lose the game
They could save the queen with a jump spell, right?
At 32:35 you are actually not lost, you just use the phase through spell on your own king and take their queen with the Bishop from f1
oh yeah, but i assume queen to e4 is lost for white tho?
i just wanted to comment that i guess ur a coc player as well if u spoted that :D
Jump spell
@@trapezoidedI think you can take the d7 pawn with queen to check and stall for freeze recharge, though then freeze, knight c3 bishop b5 is still losing.
After black plays queen to h4, white can play queen to a4, counter-threatening to take the king with a jump spell, and the black queen.
Black has to either move the king or block, and lose their queen.
32:34 you can actually use the jump spell on the king and take the queen with the bishop and you would be fine
Exactly
You smart 🙀
Or after Qh4 freeze queen and put the pawn on b4, then take queen with rook using a green spell on h2 pawn)

11:36 BRO JUST TAKE THE KING
Bro chess 2 came out today and nobody told me there hasn’t been an update in years
Levi, at 32:33 after the queen move you can cast a jump spell on the king and after that the bishop behind the king would take the queen.
Bro are u magnus carlson or what?
Bro levy should see this

Yeah but queen e4 instead is gg

11:35 Gotham not using the jump spell on the pawn and taking the king is killing me.

THANK YOU
At 32:36 you can put a jump spell on your king and take the queen with the bishop on f1, still a very bad position if they don't move the queen to c4
well that only works bc c4 was wrong. Qe4 was mate for black
32:40 it isn't lost, because bishop takes queen with green spell on the king
Analysis at the end: u could put spell onto the king and take the queen with ur bishop my friend
31:55 instead of moving the knight, you can freeze the queen, then pawn to b4 since you can jump potion the rook to take the queen and you win a bishop

29:40 freeze the king and you win. simple. no matter what they move, you can take the king.
it doesn't matter if you get checked because you take the king, and if pawn blocks you jump over the pawn.
they can freeze your piece that is checking the king

Looking for a comment saying this
absolutely everybody was talking about 32:35 but i was looking for this comment@@superfaststeve
At 32:39 Gotham overlooked bishop on f1 to jump his own king to take the queen, no?
The thing is, queen h4 ain't a threat. Because when it seems like mate, the Bishop will say: Goodbye Black King.

Instant blunder when trying to figure out mechanics levy finally understands low elo
Bro missed mate in one😂11:45 jump spell
12:44 Levy laughing looking at the invisible chat. Cool habits
hard to see but position in 32:37 is completely winning for white bcoz you can put a jump spell on the bishop and take black queen
8:12 The face of absolute shock
7:00 this is actually one of the main ways to cheese and even a decent opening, although I'd play 1.e4. Black actually only has a few responses, since Qh5 is a huge threat:
- Bb4 is the main move, resulting in a symmetrical position after c3 c6 cxb4 cxb5
- g6, preventing Qh5, playable, but maybe a bit passive
- Bd6, with the idea to play Kf8 after Qh5, looks awkward, but might be playable
- Be7 with the same idea as Bd6, but I think Bd6 is better
- Ke7 looks very questionable, but might not lose with precise play, the advatage is that black saves a freeze
All other moves lose after Qh5.

32:02 insted of Nf3, Qa4 threatening the king whith jump and the frozen queen seemed nice
Yes, both b4 and Qa4 just winning on the spot
Love how you regularly state super confidently that a move is winning when it really is not. At last you can be starring in your own low elo videos
doesnt anyone notice that youtube thinks its the game "CHESS 2:THE SEQUEL" WAS THERE EVER A GAME LIKE THAT
I like how Gotham started playing this variant and he’s already mastered it.
I imagine providing a rage spell would be game breaking: allowing one of your pieces to make two moves in a single turn...so perhaps that's why they didn't dare to add it. It's still quite amazing though how freezing and jumping doesn't break the game.
I was so stoked Oat Jenkin's Chess 2 was an official format now, but my hopes were crushed.
8:17 bro is baffled. Flabbergasted. Bamboozled.
In the heavily analyzed position at the end of the video you could easily avoid the attack by freezing the queen then playing b4 to neutralize the Bishop tricks while simultaneously guaranteeing that you win the queen with the Rook after you jump your pawn on h2 on the next move

20:15 nice free pawn bro. It is feeling real nice at a6 with a bishop staring into its soul and if you take their bishop with your bishop, the opponent uses a jump spell on a7 and the rook jumps over the pawn and kills your bishop and also develops his rook
No his Oponent can put a jump spell on the pawn on e3 and take the King using his Queen After he takes back with his bishop
I played it three times, each time they captured my king, I have not played since.
The first millisecond of him staring at us is the best part of the video 😂😂

In the position at 32:40, you could use the green potion on your king and take the queen I think. Great video, you never dissapoint
That's JUMP SPELL
Also at 32:00 there's Qh5 and freeze the opponent's Queen
no it's the green hoppy hopper@@themulticourse2460
Watching Gotham refer to the jump spell as a "green spell" causes me immense pain inside
oats jenkins' chess do be number 1
Pls don’t tell me I was the only one that thought spell chess was like a spelling test but it’s chess…
It's about time! I've been waiting hundreds of years to finally get a chess sequel!
The answer to Qh4 (and freezing g2) is probably just to freeze h4 and play b4. You don't need to retreat the knight to f3 to threaten the queen because the rook is already threatening the queen with a jump spell. This guarantees the queen is lost and is likely the reason your opponent didn't play it.
It's interesting how much the dynamics of the game change with the addition of two simple spells!
in 32:40 if he played that u put greenspell in your king and take the queen with the Bishop
32:37 jump spell on king and bishop takes queen
Tf2 looking in superiority 0:01

Levy if you're willing to play unique chess you've got to try shotgun king, a rougelike chess game. It's obviously very different from chess, but the way it incorporates chess mechanics is very interesting!
Seconding this idea!
Yes!
I love that game!
There's also Ouroboros King, another roguelike which is mechanically a lot closer to regular chess.
10:58 A Spellmate!
Does that make sense? I hope.
Nice
Haven't even reached that far into the video, but the term Spellmate is simply awesome, and it needs to have some kind of solid definition.
32:40 you could just take the queen with the bishop
32:38 jump spell on the king and bishop take queen

this video changed my life Levi, very excited for this new chess dlc
There were updates in the 1800s including instant promotion and some rules on stalemate. Before that, there was the castling rule, before that it was changes to how the pieces moved.
Warhammer chess allows combat along with traditional moves.
Pretty sure the last patch was in the 1970's when they disallowed vertical castling.
My uncle had a card deck designed to be used in chess, it was called "storm on the chessboard".
I never tried it but it seemed very funny
It was in the 90s or something
Honestly, love seeing you playing chess variants!! It's fun to follow your thought process and actually quite educational, getting me more hyped for variants.
Love to see more/more variants:)

8:06 300 elo moment
It wasn't 300 elo cuz the bishop was frozen
Whoa.. half a million views already? Proud to remember those early 2020 days on twitch..you deserve your success imo.
a nice feature would be that if you castle without using spells you get a free spell or maybe a mini-freeze potion which freezes just a piece.
Agreed. Having some means of "earning" additional spell uses via earlier restraint from using them would present interesting strategies.
Finally, the sequel we needed.
I love how levy never clickbates us
I think that using a mana system and special spells for each cards would be complex, but very fun
the last chess update was 143 years ago when en passant was added 😭
gotta respect the devs tho 🙏
8:12 The rook finally got its revenge after all those rook sacrifices
This makes chess even more interesting and tactical. Really makes you triple think your moves.
but there's also the risk of creating unbeatable openings. for example if white starts e4 and opponent plays e6 then Qh5 with a freeze surrounding g7 is an extremely powerful move. i haven't gone through all of the lines, but so far it seems like its just straight up lost for black
@@sillyking1991 The new abilities supercharge offense, which gives a big adv to 1st player (white).
@@sillyking1991 i think that just blunders a queen they just attack the queen with a counter freeze not 100% sure tho
It's for fun only, a Circus attraction if you will, nothing more nothing less. Nothing educational about it.
it can, im not 100% convinced. i've ran a few games doing that opening gambit and i think there are some viable, if not outright wining responses. its possible its less that that offense is actually stronger, its just much more complicated and easier to make a mistake in defense. so like..with perfect play it may not actually make a difference, but obviously most players aren't perfect. and its REALLY easy to mess up vs certain openings
