Despite the clickbait, this is one of your best videos to date. Super interesting and informative at the same time. You should make more videos on or related to this topic
Yes, it's hardly bait imo. Perhaps a better title could've been something like "the evolution of chess" or whatever, but yeah, it's a somewhat relevant title and I wouldn't call it clickbait.
The thing I don’t like about rapid and blitz is the time scramble… high level chess coming down to a scramble devalues playing well in the opening and middle game. Has there ever been a format where there is a time limit per move rather than overall? Maybe add timeouts that give an additional thinking time? 30 seconds per move, no carry over. Two timeouts that allow 5 minutes. Timeouts cannot be taken consecutively for one move.
Honestly, the game has changed. At the top level of chess in classical, it’s basically, “I hope they don’t remember/ didn’t study this position”. It’s the end of chess for the classical version, not for rapid games, and especially not for lower elo games. But at the top level classical chess may be heading towards a memory game… so interesting
Why y'all talking like some GMs who played in these tournaments lmao. Chess isn't dead and won't die since new people will always be getting fascinated by the beautiful game so rich with history and masters from whom advice and instruction may be gleaned. Chess theory is what makes chess such a great hobby.
whats make you think that humans memory doesn't work when the game is only 10 minutes long? isn't that even less time for creative ideas and more playing from memory?
I honestly couldn’t care about the click bait, levy is so good to watch, the way he breaks it down with such enthusiasm is what tunes me in everyday cl
What are you talking about is clickbait, is literally not, chess is actually ending the game is just becoming a memory game, levy literally explained all that.
Let's say, "Levy never fails to clickbait us horrendously" is true and call it "Statement x" "Statement x" = true "Levy -(never) -(fails) to clickbait horrendously" = "Levy always succeeds to clickbait horrendously" Therefore "Levy always -(succeeds) to clickbait -(horrendously)" = "Levy always fails to clickbait terrifically" So the final answer is x = "Levy always fails to clickbait terrifically" = true
@@SteveInLavano you’re overthinking he was correct you’re basically saying his clickbait is bad while the original comment states his clickbait is good
@@vaz4043 Overthinking is underrated. Both me and the original commenter are saying that Levy's clickbait is bad. I just like to play around with people's minds lmao.
He didn't know that there would be 4000 Elo bots who can crush human players in every single game. Humans can memorize all they want to but after they get out of book openings, they will always make mistakes.
Which is why he invented Fischer Random. Too bad Levi refers to it as Chess 960. But he gets paid to push pop culture and propaganda as much as chess, so that tracks.
Wasn't chess always a memory game? People studying game was to know what were the best moves to play. Yes, it is now possible to remember more moves, but none of those players would beat an AI Bot any time soon. Alpha Zero doesn't seem to care about remembering lines. Maybe the next big evolution for human players will be a deep strategic one. But I know nothing, I'm barely an amateur.
That is so interesting, amazing how the game keeps evolving after all those centuries and now faster than ever. Great breakdown, would more videos like this for other types of opening variantes.
Many thanks Levy. A lot of effort went into this and its one of the more advanced level videos on this great channel. By the way video title is accurate and not click bait. I agree, Yes, Chess is a becoming an AI enhanced memory game.
I agree, chess is becoming more and more a memory game. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, its just how the hell of computer transformed the game. I'm a big fan of "fisher random" specificslly for this reason, i feel like it hoghlights the skill instead of the memory and its very interesting to watch/play.
What if people begin to memorize best strategy according to a computers analysis of different Fisher starting positions? How far could that also be prepped? Maybe all pieces and number of pieces should be randomized across the whole board to make any prep impossible.
That's why I am feeling distant from chess and less enthused about it. I am just chugging away memorizing my Sam Shankland lifetime repertoire, drilling tactics and strategy, learning endgame positions and drilling puzzles. It doesn't feel creative or interesting until really late in the game and if I lose to something I just haven't memorized yet I feel cheated.
At this point... im Pretty sure 1 million of Levy's subscribers are subscribed just to get clickbaited then complain in the comments that he clickbaits...
The memorization is actually what really puts me off trying tournament chess. Anyone can check the other players opening repertoire and prep with an engine. If your opponent does this and you don't, then you will be at a disadvantage, so you are kinda forced into it. I don't find any fun in memorizing lines. Preparing for your opponent is now easier and more effective than ever. But it's not the part of the game I enjoy.
I know exactly how to save Chess. In my version of Chess, every single piece is shuffled randomly accross the entire board. This could even lead to double Checkmate in zero moves.
I just want to congratulate you on reaching the long name event in finals. Congratulations🎉 levy aka Gotham Chess. YOU PLAYED SOME GREAT CHESS THERE. I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE MATCH WITHOUT SKIPPING AND I WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU.... PLEASE BE MOTIVATED TO PLAY SOMETIMES HERE AND THERE.....We all want to see you reach even higher in your career and chess. LOVE YOU MAN ❤
It’s a sad realization. Most people are content to delegate logic/thinking to a computer and then just memorize the result. The end result will be stagnation. Thank you Levy for this great video and the sad conclusion.
FIDE can do that if they want, but most top players would rather play poker if they want a game with randomization like that. But it’s also that it breaks with a presumed tradition of varying the way the pieces move.
I think shorter time controls throw the game even more in favor of memorization. And 960 is interesting, but favors White in some positions much more than in other positions.
I've been watching Levy's videos for the past like 2 years. This is one of his best videos especially from a data analytics point of view. I really do appreciate videos like these every now and then although the usual recaps and low elo games are fun too. Good job Levy
@@GothamChess Honestly, I don't mind at all. I would watch a Gotham video regardless of what the title is but sometimes I watch the video immediately if the title is catchy(clickbaity). So I can't blame you if you name them like that as long as you keep delivering great content. Btw, I'm Ghanaian and I watch your videos from Ghana, Africa.
Most sports involve way more chaotic elements than chess. Poker is a good example. The science of EV over enough hands had removed a huge amount of the gambling. It's a very psychologically challenging way to play, knowing you should fold any hands because you're attack is big enough and the you're on the cusp of a big prize jump when those tiny stacks fade away.
It's a shame that memorisation plays such a big part in chess, as Bobby Fischer pointed out. The good news is that you can choose how you want to play, as long as you are not trying to win major tournaments.
He went full Fisher with a modern twist. Yeah, Fisher said that chess became dead and boring maybe like 50 years ago with the "memorizing openings and moves" by players. And now with the engine telling u what the best move is...chess may become dead and just a game of memory.
Highly agree on this take ... It is so unbelievable that it even is possible but actually the term "Chess is solved" is becoming more close to a reality. and btw: computers already solved chess because if you don't make them to premove some "Human" opening it will always be a draw so ... :/ We will see if Human will be possible to learn in way that more than 50%+ games will be drawn.
@@MasterMine009you don't know if computers solved chess. We don't even know what perfect play look like, there is no guarantee computers would always draw against perfect play without opening books.
Chess is approaching becoming a solved game in my opinion. If you know all the best moves in response to every logical move your opponent can make then that only proves you’re good at memorizing, not actually planning and strategizing on the spot.
I remember reading that a good chess student is not one that says "yes, yes master" but one who says "but master, why?" The problem today is that the bots are the masters, but they can't tell us "why".
After 15. ...Ra7, my stockfish 16 engine on depth 48 suggests 16. a4 or 16 Nc6+ for equality. Every other response for White gives Black advantage. Looks like this line is a draw. Anyone else willing to run this ad infinitum on a stronger engine?
Chess is turning into a memory game? It’s always been heavily memory dependent. That’s why Bobby created Fischer Random. Watch the videos of Bobby ranting about it just before he died.
Noticing that this is clickbait is kinda like noticing that a book has a cover. "Hey! Lookie here!! I've found a book with a cover. It's a colorful cover, too."
What I think is one of the elements that makes chess one of the best game ever is that it shows an incredible richness and level of complexity without the need of randomness. So I don't like the "reshuffle the back rank" version for this reason... shorter games instead are surely becoming more interesting than the classical ones.
Watching new chess theory be developed at breakneck page is truly fascinating. I don't it swaying a little bit further into memory is that big of a deal personally. Firstly there's such a huge possibility space for chess positions that i don't think it could ever become *just* memory, and secondly, what would "be really good at memorizing openings and positions" be if not "be good at chess"? I don't think theres any less merit to the games you won by having something memorized than there is to the games you won by calculating out a cool tactic or something.
Could do random opening shuffle. See how the players maneuver the opening phase into the middle game and etc. Like make some 500s play first 5-10 moves and then make the GMs play that.
So basically…Bobby Fischer was right? Top level chess these days is basically who has memorized more theory rather than actually playing the game and thinking on your own.
We can see from the AI plays, they like to sacrifice pawns or even pieces, for a better "strategic" position overall ... which is _really_ hard for humans to see ... But having more pieces is just easy to evaluate and not reflective of which position is "stronger" .... (well, up to a point, of course) - Really, the evolution is changing of metrics to more accurate ones. (on top of information of course)
Make other videos of other lines which were developed game by game at the top level of chess, it would make for an interesting series to see which lines had potential but failed completely and which ones became successful powerful
Dude this is a really cool video idea, I hope that you do a series like this where you show a new idea brought up by one of these players and then how other players show new ideas in the new idea. Super cool
I suppose that’s why you don’t want to pursue Grandmastery. Too much memorization instead of pure comprehension. Good on you for sticking to your principles.
The Sovereign Individual is a book ive been reading predicting the impact of economics and governance due to the information revolution. Levy talks exactly about this in parallel to chess. Very interesting stuff
I've played poker professionally since around 2002. Poker had almost this exact same kind of "information explosion" in the early 2010s with the introduction of solvers. Basically, solvers are computer programs capable of creating perfectly balanced, thus unexploitable, strategies for all all possible hands in each players' range of possible hands. If someone diverts from that strategy they ARE capable of being exploited, and for the first several hundred years of the game ALL poker strategy revolved around this concept of exploiting players who had these imbalances. However, it's only been in the last ~decade that we've known what a "balanced" strategy really looked like, and mass data analysis is used all the time by top pros, both in terms of studying the mass data that solvers output (you can use a solver to solve every single possible flop for two ranges), and in terms of mass data on how players play.
On monday the 16th of October, 2023, Chess ended. Levi did not clickbait us at all. Magnus Carlsen with one move decimated the entirety of the game and now had to use all his might to create Chess 2.
I guess it depends on what we want chess to become. All of these games ended up turning into interesting games, even though they all started the same. There's still infinit artful classical chess to be had in the information age, it's just that extreme memorization of supercomputer openings is kind of a prerequisite to getting to it (At least, without falling way behind on time).
If we want to better understand chess, this is absolutely great. If we want to be more competitive on understanding chess, this is absolutely great. If we want to be more competitive on IQ-like chess skill, Fischer chess might be the one.

Dude this is a really cool video idea, I hope that you do a series like this where you show a new idea brought up by one of these players and then how other players show new ideas in the new idea. Super cool
This was a cool deep dive! Wouldn't mind more of these kinds of videos
I suppose that’s why you don’t want to pursue Grandmastery. Too much memorization instead of pure comprehension.
Good on you for sticking to your principles.
Huge congrats on ur book mr rozman
The Sovereign Individual is a book ive been reading predicting the impact of economics and governance due to the information revolution. Levy talks exactly about this in parallel to chess. Very interesting stuff
Gotham should do a collab with Levy Rozman
I've played poker professionally since around 2002. Poker had almost this exact same kind of "information explosion" in the early 2010s with the introduction of solvers. Basically, solvers are computer programs capable of creating perfectly balanced, thus unexploitable, strategies for all all possible hands in each players' range of possible hands. If someone diverts from that strategy they ARE capable of being exploited, and for the first several hundred years of the game ALL poker strategy revolved around this concept of exploiting players who had these imbalances. However, it's only been in the last ~decade that we've known what a "balanced" strategy really looked like, and mass data analysis is used all the time by top pros, both in terms of studying the mass data that solvers output (you can use a solver to solve every single possible flop for two ranges), and in terms of mass data on how players play.
On monday the 16th of October, 2023, Chess ended. Levi did not clickbait us at all. Magnus Carlsen with one move decimated the entirety of the game and now had to use all his might to create Chess 2.
I guess it depends on what we want chess to become. All of these games ended up turning into interesting games, even though they all started the same. There's still infinit artful classical chess to be had in the information age, it's just that extreme memorization of supercomputer openings is kind of a prerequisite to getting to it (At least, without falling way behind on time).
If we want to better understand chess, this is absolutely great. If we want to be more competitive on understanding chess, this is absolutely great. If we want to be more competitive on IQ-like chess skill, Fischer chess might be the one.
I love seeing Rozen games analyzed by Levy this is definitely unique content for Levy
It's as if everyone saw Magnus play it and were like "I wanna do that too!"
Levi never fails to mate me from behind
sus
Ayyyooooo
Poker evolves in a very similar ways. Engines are very similar to solvers when it comes to their impact in the game.
honestly one of your best videos ever, it's just fascinating
