In Christian Hesse's book "The Joys of Chess," there is a chapter entitled, "The worst of the worst." He writes, "Theoretically, the worst worst move must be one that overlooks mate in one and at the same time directly allows the opponent to mate in one. That must have happened in the history of chess, though we cannot immediately think of an example." Congratulations for finding not only an example of such a move, but one that *forces* the opponent to mate in one!
@@webbowser8834 Or that at least an example of the worst moves possible in Chess. There's a lot of theoretical moves like this, all equally as bad and this one had the dishonor of being in a popular RUclips video.
@@N12015 There are definitely varying permutations of this exact situation, to be sure. The situation is still rare enough that the fact it happened organically in a recorded chess game is something to be celebrated.
Honestly Gothams content is getting old and the thumbnails are cringe. Yea okay 900s making blunders left and right. And a bear shits in the woods big deal
When I saw that title I thought "No way, I'm sure I've played worse moves than whatever this is", but yeah, I don't think I've ever forced my opponent to win the game by making his only legal move 'checkmating me'.
Totally with you on this. I've made some VERY atrocious moves in my time, but none that forced my opponent to checkmate me! I'm reminded of the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon where, Bugs tricks Daffy repeatedly into telling Elmer to, "Shoot me now!" It's like poor Cheeky just yelled "shoot me now!" and gave black no choice in the matter.
I remember a match where I played extremly poorly, my king got chased to a bunch of enemy pawns, no escape from there, and the Queen went to checkmate me with the protection of the king, so yeah, my only move was capture the Queen with my Queen so I checkmate him instead, never give up.
Right? Like I went into this video expecting at least a little bit of clickbait. I expected the move to be pretty bad, but I mean, not that bad. Instead, this looks more like what I would produce if someone gave me a chessboard and asked me to "set up the pieces to demonstrate the theoretical worst chess move you can possibly imagine." (Only one piece that can check the king, only two squares it can move to check the king, one square is mate in one for you, the other forces the opponent to mate in one you as their only move). The other thing I imagined with the clickbait title is that maybe the move would be that bad, but...you know, the players would be rated 600 or something, and they would be blundering pieces and forks the entire game. But no, it was a real game not a setup, and the players were rated 1350 and had very few outright "left a piece hanging" or "got themselves forked" kinds of blunders up until that point. This game is a work of art.
"Not only did you get mated, you FORCED mate in one" bruh I laughed so hard. But Cheeky, thanks man, you're a great sport for allowing Levy to recap this!
5:00 "if white takes with bishop they should legitimately never play another game of chess for the rest of their life"... You got a point there. They certainly found a better use for it.
Title is absolutely not clickbait. Not only did we have a missed mate, but literally created a situation where the opponents only legal move on the board was to win the game. Wouldn’t have believed it was possible until this video. Amazing content, and absolutely the gentleman of the year. Forcing your opponent to victory, whether they like it or not.
@@balancemaster55 If the opponent ran out of time, they would lose by USCF / chesscom rules, but draw by FIDE / lichess rules because there is no sequence of legal moves that leads to White winning.
Technically, not a forced victory. The opponent, even outside of the context of FIDE-rated event rules, is permitted to resign, and this is a win. However, the only legal move for the opponent is indeed checkmate. So, categorically speaking, this actually is the worst possible move in chess. It is mathematically impossible to construct a position where a worse move can be played.
This literally cannot be worse. Going from 1 move checkmate to FORCED checkmate by your opponent in 1. It cannot be worse than this. It's not possible. The annotations in chess are: ?, ?!, !?, ?? etc. The annotation for this move is: ???XD

I respect him immensely. He could have buried this, but he knew it was one for the history books, so he revealed it to the world so it could be preserved for posterity.
i can’t help but feel there has been an amateur OTB game that ended with one player “winning” by checkmate and the other player fails to find their only legal move out
I had that online when I first started playing. The only legal move was en passant and neither of us saw it. We were discussing it in chat. He just resigned instead of timing out. It was probably M1 anyway, but still funny... And that's how I learned about en passant.
Absolutely, I had a game at a state tournament and I was playing fast because I had clinched a draw or win which was what we needed to win our match and had stopped notating. I cut off my opponents king, thinking I would have mate on the next move with my rook, but the bishop blocked his king from moving, making it stalemate! He resigned thinking he would get mated, and as he had no time and I had stopped notating, there was no proof once I quickly realized and took the pieces off the board. All he had to do was try to move and it would have been stalemate, but he resigned and tried to get an arbiter when his teammates told him but there was no proof.
@@matt243 Yep early in my playing online against a friend, I thought I had her in checkmate with my pawn, and we stared at the board for like 5 minutes wondering why it wasn't mate. En passant.

@@gonealoof2106 right cause when its not force their always a chance black doesn't see the mate and go err let me move wrong piece somewhere. this is force .. and i feel sorry for the player
Ok, I've played many atrocious moves in chess, but I'm pretty sure none of them involved missing mate in one, hanging mate in one, and legally forcing the opponent to play the only winning move at the same time. That's so absurd, and so beautiful at the same time.

What makes this so damn good it's the fact that it's forced mate in one for the opponent. It's not even an obvious move, it's the only legal move available

One week ago I saw a video where you said that the move made was "the worst chess move you've ever saw", and I begin thinking what would actually be the worst chess move, I thought that it would be a move that changes the game from "mate in one" on your side to "mate in one" on the other side but I thought it was impossible
I hate that shocking realisation when you make a move that you think checkmates your opponent but you don’t get the checkmate pop up and you only now realise that you just blundered your queen.
I'm a King's Gambit player, and the best games break all chess principles by like move 6. I had a game once in the Fischer defense where pawns were scattered haphazardly all over the board, both sides lost castling privileges, and black's king eventually got mated on the second rank with tonnes of pieces still left on the board. Both sides played with like 85%+ accuracy too.
Ponzi is smiling somewhere PS: I have a duck video, a chicken video, a video where i am begging for money on Twitter, a walking video, a video where i am playing with my nuts... Also a patreon
A situation in a game made me think of a great content idea for your 'How to lose at chess' series. 'Worst move in the position'. You could take a position submitted by a user and try and find the worst moves, or maybe even 'worst pawn move in the position'. My actual idea was to have the analysis board have an 'worst move'. Sounds silly, but it could be instructional!
Here, let me give you a hand so you can get a head start. Starting position: Worst move: 1. f3 Worst pawn move: Also 1. f3. I now pass the torch to the next commenter.
I have never commented on a chess video, and was very skeptical of the title, but this was the most hilarious blunder I have ever seen. I wonder if BLACK saw the chance at the checkmate as he was pushing his king forward but figured it would never happen.
Haha, I can imagine the opponent being like, "Oh I have only this one move.. Wait what happened? Did he resign? Wait, that was checkmate??? THAT WAS CHECKMATE!!!!!!!!!!!"
I doubt it, having the queen next to the king is one of the most obvious checkmate patterns, a 1300 player would surely have recognised it before playing it
Hey levy, I got no one else to share this with, so just as well might share it with you and your beautiful audience. I started playing chess casually around last september inspired by your videos! Safe to say I sucked and was quickly put in my place at around 230ish online rapid rating. Then I found your london and caro videos. This was the boost I needed, and I started to absolutely crush my opposition. I immediately climbed my way up the rating ladder sporting a constant positive win rate. Que to now, sitting at 700 online rapid rating sporting a 53% win rate with a 64,1 accuracy. It's by no means impressive or anything, but just wanted to tell you that your content found my long lost love for chess and helped me improve.

I have never seen someone force your opponent to mate you. This was brilliant.
Biggest Internal moan when I saw that crypto in the background
It's not just giving forced mate to the opponent in one, but marching the opponent's king to the position that allows such a forced mate.

Yeah, I think forcing your opponent to checkmate you counts as the worst move you can make.
ew crypto sponsor, not good
This felt like watching someone die.
Really enjoy your content but please don't shill for crypto get rich quick scheme. The more they try to normalise it the more damage it does
Yep, that feeling of "wait.......... the game isn't over?" followed by "no why where where no why"
You joining crypto is actually the worst move in chess history.
Bro leave him alone
Accurate quote " you know in chess when you make that one move and the game is not over" -Gotham
Crypto sponsorship? I mean, I know you have to pay the bills, but there have to be other sponsorships that aren't scams, right?
crypto isnt a scam idiot
Like Gfuel poisening us all :) or the classic VPN bullshit yeaah this sponsorship is the one where we draw the line AINT THAT RIGHT GOOD PEOPLE OF PEN AND PAPER, OF FAXING MACHINES, US PEOPLE OF THE CASH MONEY. WANT TO BUY SOME STATE OBLIGATIONS? LET"S GO TEAM BOOMER
hoes mad
impressive honestly to force you opponent to checkmate you
7:15 I don't understand this line. Yes, the black knight on c6 is hanging, but if rook takes the pawn then white's knight on d2 is also hanging!
That exactly is the reason why you are moving the knight from d2 to c4 FIRST. And AFTER THAT you could pick up the knight on c6.
He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
If you actually care about the sponsorship here's what you can do: Unsub, if you want to keep watching videos after this one do NOT comment or thumbs up or down. All engagement makes him money off this deal.

Pretty shameful to be sponsored by something that is basically a scam... unimpressed Levy
Can't wait for the Monkey Levi NFT
Can you elaborate on how it is a scam ? Legit asking, I know nothing about it
@@fannydoucet6750 people just believe what they're told
@@fannydoucet6750 its because some people start trading crypto with no experience in trading, have no knowledge about blockchain, know nothing about NFT's and think its a good idea to start trading cuz bitcoin hit its ATH. Then they lose their money and think its a scam. Or they straight up get scammed with a rug pull. btw, I dont mind those people that much cuz those people are exactly the reason I make money XD
@@itspantherg4563 Imagine writing this comment and still not seing how it's a scam. You literally make money from people not knowing what they do, spending money because they think they've been told it will make them rich.
The title was not clickbait whatsoever, that is the worst move I have ever seen
Man, Levy, get this crypto shit outta here. In contention for the worst invention in human history.
you clearly never bothered to do some actual research on how and why cryptocurrencys were created. crypto is life changing technology. its not just "get rich quick" bullshit..do you feel comfortable with our current financial system and fiat currency's? crypto gives power to the people by having decentralized protocols.. no more goverments and elite groups of the ultra rich to dominate the masses. power to the people.
Source trust me bro
Imagine equating crypto to something like the atomic bomb or the institution of slavery or a lot of other things
@@Belkak021 true
Anti-crypto people are all parrots. This is such a ludicrously hyperbolic claim, I dare you to back it up with any reasonable point.
It is like: i am going to mate! But i want to be mated!
One week ago I saw a video where you said that the move made was "the worst chess move you've ever saw", and I begin thinking what would actually be the worst chess move, I thought that it would be a move that changes the game from "mate in one" on your side to "mate in one" on the other side but I thought it was impossible
Nah the worst move is not playing en passant
Takes the term "forced checkmate" to a whole new levek
“You need to think, in your brain, or whatever you use to think with”
Levy 2022 10:06
I once very confidently set a check with my queen as it was protected by two rooks, yet rooks don't protect diagonally.
I don’t wanna hear about fake currency, sorry Levy for skipping the ad
You do know that crypto gives real money right? Ever used it before grandpa?
I hate that shocking realisation when you make a move that you think checkmates your opponent but you don’t get the checkmate pop up and you only now realise that you just blundered your queen.
That was honestly Elating
and at the same time Heart Breaking
for both players.
(no spoilers)
you got to talk with your Gotham City guy cuz they spoiled the ending of this vid even more then your thumbnail did
I love these videos! Levy your workrate is amazing! Could you please do a video on the King's Gambit? Thanks!
I think he did Vienna Gambit. Check it out, basically just King's Gambit with knight on c3.
@@nahrafe there is a huge difference between king’s gambit and vienna. One of them is wild territory, while the other is safer to play.
@@nahrafe Yes what mod mod said. The King's Gambit is insane aggression, while the Vienna gambit is a little more conservative
Kings gambit is pretty dangerous ngl
I'm a King's Gambit player, and the best games break all chess principles by like move 6. I had a game once in the Fischer defense where pawns were scattered haphazardly all over the board, both sides lost castling privileges, and black's king eventually got mated on the second rank with tonnes of pieces still left on the board. Both sides played with like 85%+ accuracy too.
I love how cheeky’s profile picture is Roy hogson
Ponzi is smiling somewhere
PS: I have a duck video, a chicken video, a video where i am begging for money on Twitter, a walking video, a video where i am playing with my nuts... Also a patreon
Cheeky is a very brave man for submitting this game
this is one of the first times ive actually busted out laughing at a chess move that was incredible
!? - inaccuracy
? - mistake
?? - blunder
??? - the move played
just don't push nfts on us please
What's this, Levy became an MLM mom?
A situation in a game made me think of a great content idea for your 'How to lose at chess' series. 'Worst move in the position'. You could take a position submitted by a user and try and find the worst moves, or maybe even 'worst pawn move in the position'. My actual idea was to have the analysis board have an 'worst move'. Sounds silly, but it could be instructional!
I mean in most cases, worst pawn move would just be removing a defense or blundering a pawn.
Here, let me give you a hand so you can get a head start.
Starting position:
Worst move: 1. f3
Worst pawn move: Also 1. f3.
I now pass the torch to the next commenter.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Sure, but I meant in an active position, out of the opening.
@@MrEDMeaner Look, we'll get there eventually. We just need like 30 more commenters to take the torch.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Haha. Just couldn't tell if you are making fun of my idea or not!
"White went full uga-buga" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve never been more proud to be Welsh. Thank you, cheeky, for showing the true kindness of the welsh people
I can’t think of a worse possible move than giving up mate in one and leaving your opponent with no choice but to win the game
Oh god, I saw this game on the clips channel. I realized about 15 minutes in what the horrible move was going to be. That poor unfortunate soul.
I can just imagine gotham in a classroom yelling "AND HE SACRIFICES THE QUEEEEEEEENNN"
As a 1350 myself, I can tell you that one of the biggest blind spots for my rating range is long distance control of squares
"Think. With your brain. Or whatever you think with."
*Perfection*
I have never commented on a chess video, and was very skeptical of the title, but this was the most hilarious blunder I have ever seen. I wonder if BLACK saw the chance at the checkmate as he was pushing his king forward but figured it would never happen.
YOOOOO
I'm just curious, did you like this with your 5 alts? hehe
i suddenly feel stop playing chess and go to meditate on himalayas.
Haha, I can imagine the opponent being like, "Oh I have only this one move.. Wait what happened? Did he resign? Wait, that was checkmate??? THAT WAS CHECKMATE!!!!!!!!!!!"
I doubt it, having the queen next to the king is one of the most obvious checkmate patterns, a 1300 player would surely have recognised it before playing it
Eval bar touches both sides of infinity
This is a once in a generation level bad move. It’s actually impressive
Man the opponent didn't even have a choice
Hey levy, I got no one else to share this with, so just as well might share it with you and your beautiful audience.
I started playing chess casually around last september inspired by your videos! Safe to say I sucked and was quickly put in my place at around 230ish online rapid rating.
Then I found your london and caro videos. This was the boost I needed, and I started to absolutely crush my opposition. I immediately climbed my way up the rating ladder sporting a constant positive win rate.
Que to now, sitting at 700 online rapid rating sporting a 53% win rate with a 64,1 accuracy. It's by no means impressive or anything, but just wanted to tell you that your content found my long lost love for chess and helped me improve. I just wish somebody was there to stop me play chess when am drunk.. Love you and your videos bud.
Amazing job man I’m glad to see someone who isn’t crying about crypto rn lol but honestly good job
@@limelight6970 Thanks dude! I really don't care about the crypto debacle, mans gotta eat amirite? Tbf tho, my rating would be higher if I stopped playing rapid when am drunk lmao, but such is life. Have a good one bud!
@@aleksihakli1125 thanks I’m going to try thanks again for the encouragement!
