In low elo if you one move hang a piece, and the opponent doesn't immediately take it, you don't rectify your error because that would be admitting that you've made an error, and your opponent doesn't take it because then he'd admit that he missed taking a piece. What follows is a gentlemen agreement to proceed as if the piece is defended.
Alternatively, neither of them even notice that they hung a piece and keep playing the game completely oblivious to that fact. But yes, low elo players are indeed chivalrous gentlemen. It describes us low elo players to a tee
I love the eval bar in low elo games, they swing back and forth every move as the computer continues to be baffled at the players' inability to see obvious moves (my own games included)
the engine telling me that moving my king out of check was a blunder because I could have sacrificed 4 pawns, 2 rooks, 1 knight, and a queen for a forced checkmate in 69420
Anytime Gotham in the future tells us, “You will not believe the next move white/black played” or “You couldn’t pay me to tell you why they played this move” I’m just immediately assuming they played a3, h3, h7, a7.
I'm like 910 and honestly totally relate to these guys. some games I'll feel like I'm playing amazingly, then the analysis afterward says I had 3% accuracy and blundered checkmate in 3 10 different times, then other games I'll feel like I played horribly and didn't do anything right and the analysis will say 90% accurate on both sides. chess is hard.
The former happened to me so many times that now many times after I played what I think was a good game I expect the engine to laugh at me. It happened to me so many times in the last 3 years that even when I play a legit good game I don't believe it unless I see the engine say it. For instance, a week or two ago I played the kind of position where both players are usually laughed at by the engine, after finishing the game I was like OK let's see what the engine has to say about this game, let's see how it will laugh at me and the engine said that my average centipawn loss was 16 in that game. I often have no idea what the engine will say about my games. Although sometimes I don't care about what the engine has to say about my game because sometimes my blunders are only punishable by ridiculous lines that only a titled player would see.
The last black move is queen attack the rook so he defend it. Now I realize most of white movements is to protect piece that attacked by black last move regardless its situation
18:14 Bro, I fucking died. Literal tears at that triple rook hang. And that random checkmate at the end LMAO. I think that might be the best game I've seen on this playlist.
Ain't no way he said "if you're being recommended this 6 months later because it's in the RUclips algorithm, HE just called me out." Bro it's 6 months later. Wild
This is roughly my ELO in blitz and watching this makes me say “how come I don’t get opponents this easy?!” In reality, I probably do but don’t have Gotham’s advice nearby. Great analysis.
I just hate when people play pepega pacman chompchomp everything in their sight openings... 😑 The thing is, sometimes I just don't know how to capitalize against their terrible plays because they just played so terrible that I don't understand and they somehow got lucky forks or pins, when both players develop their own pieces, it's the beginning of a great game lol there was once both of us didn't touch any of the other's pieces till move 15 or something, best game of my life lol
@@amoldivo What is the rating of your opponents? You need to see what is attacked and what is defended in the position. You also need to see checks both for yourself and for your opponent.
I usually try not to laugh at novices playing chess as we all at one time or another played just as bad plus I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from playing but at 16:55 that rook move made me laugh my ass off out loud lol
As someone floating around the 700's, I absolutely miss M1 all the time 😂 Though I probably only miss black's hanging bishop for, like, 2 or 3 moves before I see it
the easiest thing u can do is just look for M1 anytime your queen is lined up with a bishop like that. like a queen on the same diagonal as a bishop should scream “mate” anytime you see it
@@jaywasd Maybe a month or two now at this point. His videos actually got me to pick up chess again for the first time in a long time. Definitely still lots of room for improvement 😆
Even more amazing in that we rapidly gain the ability to "see" all checks in any position and so cannot miss a mate in one on our turn. I have no idea at what rating this becomes typical, but it's pretty low. Keep it up, you'll get there.
Truly insane move, the logic must have been that the rook was under attack and therefore must be defended, forgetting that you can just move the a2 rook out of danger. But it's so unbelievably ugly
@@Pattonator14 thinking back the only redeemable excuse would be that he selected the wrong rook and instead of dragging simply clicked the a1 square.. but seeing the rest of the game I'm really not sure
The real reason black deleted their account was when they went to the analysis and found out en passent exists, they realized that everything they thought they knew about chess was a lie, and subsequently deleted their account in favor of continuing their endless quest to find a mate that they will never fulfill because they are uncultured enough to not play en passent when it’s the best move.
16:48 this might be the most absurd move I've ever seen. It doesn't blunder anything (like 75 other moves in this game), but the other blunders were just things they haven't seen... This one is absolutely baffling.
Levy during GM games: "Oh he played this move cuz engine really likes this idea and is winning for his position" Levy during low elo games: "You could not pay me money to understand why he played this move"
I'm a 700 rated player, and I gotta say this game gives me hope in climbing the rating ladder. When I saw this game I thought 2 drunk chimpanzee with Mercury poisoning were playing each other. Excuse me while I go to bleach out my eyes.
