New viewer here. Love ur videos. I’m a novice but I love Chess. I read in a Chess book that beginners should try to trade pieces (as long as you don’t fall behind and don’t get in bad positions) to simplify the game. Is this true? Thanks 🤔🇨🇺🇺🇸
@@danieliglesias1669 As a beginner, you should just play. Not with a specific goal of trading pieces. Just try your best. When playing, try to find the best move, find advantage, find attack or search for a defensive plan if your opponent is attacking. There is very often a resource or two if you overlooked something. Most important part - You will make mistakes and make good moves. Learn from both. Try to analyse your games after. I often analyze my games afterwards, both the games I lost and won. Not just the lost ones! The games I won quite often turn out I won them because my opponent made more mistakes than I did. Not because of my brilliancy. Sometimes, my opponent had non-obvious winning position, but blundered. I thought I played amazing game untill I've analyzed it :) Channels like this one can give you very useful tips and help you improve much faster. Play puzzles to improve tactics. A lot of puzzles. Also, just play regular chess and with time, you will develop intuition for positions
Not going to lie - there have been multiple times I either mated or was mated and still tried to figure out my next move because I didn't realize it was over.
So in this game, Jack achieved the following: 1. won the game with black, 2. scored 1.7 accuracy (almost as hard as scoring 0 in a True/False questions-only exam, because that means you have to consistently find the worst possible moves), 3. won with just a bit over half of his opponent's accuracy.
Nah, pretty sure it's actually really easy to play worse and get a worse accuracy. Just pick a random piece and move it to a random square where it's possible to move.
Jack propably thought he was in preatty even position, so decided to move pawns forward, because that what profesional players do, when got no other good moves and thats why he got so bad score, because he was not able to see how good position he actually got and so he didnt go trade the bishop for the knight, because has learned that bishop value is 3,25 and knight value is 3,15, so Jack propably thinks thats bad trade, while does not see how with the fork he could have got free bishop. White decided to put the knights in the side propably, because its his personality, that he likes to do it and didnt put it in middle, because knows that doubled pawns or not so strong and so, if he decides to castle. It will not be that good with doubled pawns. Black really got blind eye to not see the big forks he can do, when he got his own thoughts with his own cheeky plans and so does not care about the forks. Im myself rated like 1000, so I dont have that good eye to see all the brilliant moves, when I just come up with slow plans, that opponent is able to see, but this game was hilarous for me, because how bad they were in actually seeing any moves.😂
Gotham is a genuinely good teacher, which is one of the reasons why I love him. There are so many people out there who, while being a master in their own respective crafts, are physically incapable of effectively teaching someone else about their craft. People think that teaching is easy but it’s really not
The Queen is the strongest piece and it may do whatever it wants. It may block, it may mate, it may take, it may not take. Doubting the Queen is treason.
12:23 - "If I gave you, like 10 guesses here for Black's next move, you would legitimately never figure it out" Me: [immediately starts looking for whichever pawn move makes the least amount of sense]
My first guess was Bxa3, trading a good bishop for a fairly bad knight but damaging white's structure, but then when he said "he didn't move any of these pieces", I thought "oh, well b6 does less than any other move on the board right now, and actually restricts the bishop's movement, so maybe he played that awful move?"
I accidentally clicked out of the video since I had to check a message and I saw the video only had a minute left. I still was surprised and tried to find how the hell the game ended deep in the middle game.
Something that helped me get far better at chess was Levy’s tip of looking for checks attack and captures. It really did help me (along with puzzles) to look at the board a different way.
You know how it is to ride a horse and accidently step on a lizard killing it instantly? That was what Black must have felt like. (Opposite for the white, obviously)
Whenever Gotham says "I could give you ten guesses to find the move they made" I always think of a pawn move that does nothing or worse than nothing. My first thought was a6, but b6 was in fact worse, because a6 would keep the knight from going to b5 (even though that's not really important anyway) it does a little more than literally nothing which b6 does. In this case if I was given ten guesses I think I would find it since there are only 9 pawn moves.
Puzzles are much easier because you know there is a solution that improves your position. You don’t know that in a game with a clock running…but, you should still look at every move with the same thought process and be calm.
Thing is that if you can play a good opening, there's almost always a play that improves your position, even if it's not a guaranteed mate. Just playing your knights to the center often is improving position. Conversely, there are almost always plays that weaken your position, like moving a piece so that it leaves another piece hanging. Even if you're accurate enough to just not make a move that loses horribly, you'll avoid a lot of situations where the analysis says that your best move is still on the way to a loss.
i cant stress enough that black moving pawn b6 was genuinely my first guess as to what black would move after levy said he could give us 10 chances to guess what they would move. obviously at the end of the day its still a guess but the irony of it is still simple and beautiful to me tbh
It's easy to guess because he says we're never going to guess it. If he said nothing and we were playing a game of "guess the move" we would never guess it.
A rare game where it felt like Black blundered into his opponent's checkmate. It truly felt like the board itself was the loser of this game, as it had to absorb all the execrable moves atop it.
13:00 actually B6 was my first guess ( i do lie to myself very often, but thats not one of those occasions ) edit : okay after you said, that you couldnt pay black salary to explain B6 I immediately guessed his next move was B5, tho that was kind of obvious the way you announced it
What I like most about these videos is that Gotham goes on tangents at multiple points during the game exploring sensible, nuanced side lines from various positions, and then the actual players just ignore all that and play the dumbest moves instead.
The thing that makes me such a dynamic level 700 player is that sometimes I make GM moves and other times I make 7 blunders just to keep my opponent on their toes
I don't care why you sit and wait for a few seconds in the beginning of each video, but I'm really glad you do because my computer takes that time to fade in the sound. By waiting 2 or more seconds you I don't have to rewind to beginning of the video to hear what was your opening line.
12:30 with any given position, you have at most king: 8 moves 2 bishops: 14 moves each 2 rooks: 14 moves each queen: 28 moves 2 knights: 8 moves each 8 pawns: 4 moves each this comes out to a total of at most 140 moves in any position (in practice it will likely be a lot less). Your videos get hundreds of thousands of views, so if everybody just guessed randomly you'd have thousands of people getting it right.
I think i might be having a case of the big dumb but i counted all the bishop moves and only got 13. You get 7 squares on the long diagonal and 6 on the shorter. How did you get 14?
Thats given the fact that all the moves are random. Here, there are obvious good moves and some not so good moves. But again, it's random, so u got a point
I wanted to say thanks for Chessly , literally help me get excited whith Chess again . Chess and Gotham chess are always helping me with my mental health. So thanks
Levy I love the random side tangents you have when analyzing games, it really makes it a lot more entertaining than just sitting and going through the game
OK I AM NOT JOKING I GUESSED THE MOVE CORRECTLY. I am rated 570 so I was watching this to see how people my level play. And when you told me to guess In my head I said “ I would move that pawn to protect that bishop” I am not joking, I think I need to watch more of your videos so I can get better.
we love the insight. I had the opposite where I went "oh I reckon it'll be c6, that looks like the worst move" only to then have levy highlight it as one of the 2 alternatives that were actually good XD
12:23 dude, I'm so bad at chess that I actually guessed that black would do B6...because that's the move that I would have chosen in that situation LOL
13:02 b6 made sense for a second because black probably saw "Undefended Bishop in the center? I need to protect it." Then you revealed the next move which made that move the most confusing move of the game.
The amount of people that just zoomed right away to the ending that it became the most replayed proved that this game really is bad for the brain that we just want the pain to be over already
My wife and I were watching this video together. She’s 780 rapid, and when Levy gave us 10 guesses to find the next move for black, she pointed it out immediately like it was the most obvious move lol😂we both laughed so hard when levy showed it
@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE I thought that at first, but I couldn't come up with any reason for black to think moving the king was a good idea, and low rated players won't move the king unless it is forced, obvious, or endgame
@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE i shouldn't have said 'good' reason, but what i meant was that b6 serves the purpose of defending the bishop (even if it is not necessary). A king move doesn't do anything at all.
No way I actually guessed the move b6, just seemed to be the most outlandish move. 1100 rated and it's definitely something I would've seen myself doing early in my time of playing chess. Just moving a piece to "further development" because I'm not sure what moves are winning
I would just like to thank you Levy so much for making these kinds of videos too ,because with the help of these kinds of videos, not only do I feel the second-hand embarrassment of those blunders that I know I make too😂 but also learn how to work on them and avoid them or use them against my opponents in my future games 😃 Before Gotham chess was on RUclips ,when I used to play chess back in 2014-15, I reached a point around where I lost so constantly ( like 1 win in every 20 games) made me frustrated and furthermore always losing without understanding why I even lost made it even more so and when I scoured YT all I found were these games of super GM's or GM's games nad moves of those for players like me at that seemed alien Neither could I comprehend them nor apply those in my games and eventually ended up leaving chess considering it to be a game too complex and a waste of time for me ,but your videos again rekindled my interest in chess ,not only did it help me improve my Elo rating from a mere 388 to a 926 but also gave me a deep appreciation for the intricacies of the game itself . Your easy to understand explanations of all games ranging from even a 100 elo rating 😃 to a game between SGM's, all those moves and reasoning behind them seem logical and fun to listen too when you explain them compared to others. Again thank you so much for your efforts in making these videos.
I actually watched Levy's Stockfish vs AlphaZero video 15 times. Not because i kept forgetting how they moved, i completely predicted every move the chess engines would make after watching for 5 minutes, but i just felt like he deserved more ad revenue.
In the mind of a 500, at 15:50, moving the bishop to b5 appears to be an attempt to set up a fork on e2, despite the knight being on f4 and defending the square, which he probably missed.
15:44 I suppose he's trying to go knight e2 check for a forced knight trade, and when the bishop takes e2 it'll fork the rook and a pawn (which the pawn could be guarded by the rook that was guarded by another rook and you wouldn't actually end up getting anything but the instinct makes sense in a short vision)
I bet black was shocked that the game was suddenly over after he made that last move.
Underrated comment😂😂😂

Indeed. I was looking for this comment.
Haha absolutely
After all the chess drama lately, it's refreshing to see a game where we can be 98.4% certain that none of the players cheated
I am about 0.3% sure that Hikaru doesn't cheat XD
They must have known the top engine moves to be sure to avoid them. How else do you get such low accuracy? Statistically extremely suspicious.
@@u.v.s.5583 They totally used the engine to find the worst possible moves 😆
The last move is very dubious though.
They cheated using Martin.
I can absolutely guarantee that both players were amazed that the game ended with that move

8:58 i replayed this 10000 times 😂😂😂😂😂 im dead
12:23 to 13:16 gotta agree Levy, i would have never thought about b6 😂 you have so many moves and you choose one that does almost absolutely nothing
13:20 WHAT THE- I AM LAUGHING IN TEARS RIGHT NOW 🤣
i swear to shit i guessed it
he could have literly played pawn b5 from the first move if he wanted that but he split it into two useless moves
I wanted to say thanks for Chessly , literally help me get excited whith Chess again . Chess and Gotham chess are always helping me with my mental health. So thanks
💯💯 I gotta say the drama and chessly got me back in full swing. Just played like 6 hours yesterday 😭
07:28 we can play queen e5 and Its an check
Levy I love the random side tangents you have when analyzing games, it really makes it a lot more entertaining than just sitting and going through the game
OK I AM NOT JOKING I GUESSED THE MOVE CORRECTLY. I am rated 570 so I was watching this to see how people my level play. And when you told me to guess In my head I said “ I would move that pawn to protect that bishop” I am not joking, I think I need to watch more of your videos so I can get better.
I was close I guessed b5
I guessed a6
I didn't guess that, but as soon as I saw that I was like "next move after that is gonna be e5, just to make Levy even more mad"
we love the insight. I had the opposite where I went "oh I reckon it'll be c6, that looks like the worst move" only to then have levy highlight it as one of the 2 alternatives that were actually good XD
i also guessed it
12:23 dude, I'm so bad at chess that I actually guessed that black would do B6...because that's the move that I would have chosen in that situation LOL
5:49 my new alaram ringtone
13:02 b6 made sense for a second because black probably saw "Undefended Bishop in the center? I need to protect it." Then you revealed the next move which made that move the most confusing move of the game.
8:58 ~ "And the bishop takes...wwwwwrrrrraw" whatever Gotham did there killed me😂😂
Best example of accidentally winning a game
The amount of people that just zoomed right away to the ending that it became the most replayed proved that this game really is bad for the brain that we just want the pain to be over already
They literally traded queens and captured only 2 black pawns 💀💀💀
what's mindblowing is that they still find the mate in 1 :o
13:05 nah levy im not gonna lie, swear on my life, swear on my moms; when u said u will never guess I instantly said pawn b6 idk y, but I did.
Me too, I thought of what moms would do nothing at all for the player
Well, the move was b6 and not b7, but close enough.
@@isavenewspapers8890 homie it ain't that serious
i did too on god
same, b6 was the obvious candidate there!
the face of him when he started the vid=*In shock*.....
0:39
That's literally my daily routine😂
My wife and I were watching this video together. She’s 780 rapid, and when Levy gave us 10 guesses to find the next move for black, she pointed it out immediately like it was the most obvious move lol😂we both laughed so hard when levy showed it
8:58 that growl almost had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
You was looking straight into my souls bro
I found b6 as the unexplainable move lol… but only because it was the least logical pawn move I could find
@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE I thought that at first, but I couldn't come up with any reason for black to think moving the king was a good idea, and low rated players won't move the king unless it is forced, obvious, or endgame
@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE i shouldn't have said 'good' reason, but what i meant was that b6 serves the purpose of defending the bishop (even if it is not necessary). A king move doesn't do anything at all.
i unironically guessed b6 as the "you won't guess this" on the first try, take that
No way I actually guessed the move b6, just seemed to be the most outlandish move. 1100 rated and it's definitely something I would've seen myself doing early in my time of playing chess. Just moving a piece to "further development" because I'm not sure what moves are winning
@@illustriousbreadcrumb7816 maybe in a bullet game
Ngl I thought King H7
I also guessed b6
Is there people with 500 elo?
9:00 He change into a T-rex XD! Great content Levy!
The end had me on the floor.
Line delivery on point.
12:57 as a 670 rated player, I smiled and knew he would play B6 XD bcs those are moves i've made hahahaha
From a Noobs perspective, I can with 100% accuracy say B6 was the solid choice I had in mind.
"I'm not ready even though l have seen this game already". Gotham should drop another hip-hop jam. Those rymes 🔥🔥
At 9:10 when they didn’t take the queen my glasses literally fell off
8:57 had me crying😭
I would just like to thank you Levy so much for making these kinds of videos too ,because with the help of these kinds of videos, not only do I feel the second-hand embarrassment of those blunders that I know I make too😂 but also learn how to work on them and avoid them or use them against my opponents in my future games 😃
Before Gotham chess was on RUclips ,when I used to play chess back in 2014-15, I reached a point around where I lost so constantly ( like 1 win in every 20 games) made me frustrated and furthermore always losing without understanding why I even lost made it even more so and when I scoured YT all I found were these games of super GM's or GM's games nad moves of those for players like me at that seemed alien Neither could I comprehend them nor apply those in my games and eventually ended up leaving chess considering it to be a game too complex and a waste of time for me ,but your videos again rekindled my interest in chess ,not only did it help me improve my Elo rating from a mere 388 to a 926 but also gave me a deep appreciation for the intricacies of the game itself . Your easy to understand explanations of all games ranging from even a 100 elo rating 😃 to a game between SGM's, all those moves and reasoning behind them seem logical and fun to listen too when you explain them compared to others. Again thank you so much for your efforts in making these videos.
I actually watched Levy's Stockfish vs AlphaZero video 15 times. Not because i kept forgetting how they moved, i completely predicted every move the chess engines would make after watching for 5 minutes, but i just felt like he deserved more ad revenue.
sanest bot video enjoyer
I watch any ad to completion that is less than 60 seconds. Its just little things
that stare was majestical 💀🤣
13:15 Tbf I did guess what I thought the dumbest move was which for me was b5 so I wasn’t far off 😂
17:32 oh it's still midgame and white is winning, why is the video almost over?
5 seconds later: oh... oh ok
The stare at the start of the video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:53 😂 lol
In the mind of a 500, at 15:50, moving the bishop to b5 appears to be an attempt to set up a fork on e2, despite the knight being on f4 and defending the square, which he probably missed.
13:02 POG I ACTUALLY GUESSED IT NO WAY
15:44 I suppose he's trying to go knight e2 check for a forced knight trade, and when the bishop takes e2 it'll fork the rook and a pawn (which the pawn could be guarded by the rook that was guarded by another rook and you wouldn't actually end up getting anything but the instinct makes sense in a short vision)
Well, a rook is worth more than a bishop, so that does still make some sense.
as a slovenian i am feeling very blessed to have our country mentioned in one of gotham's videos
The stare at the start made me fall out of my chair why do you keep scaring me like that
I love how he marked the 500-rated players as "GM".
Bruh I thought it meant these are GMs playiing 💀
anyone know why please @me if you do
