This game is like "The Killer Joke" but for chess players. You show this to any titled player and they'll drop dead. Except for Levi, he's been inoculated by all the other viewer games.
"When the King is put in check, he should run away". If you understand how deeply ingrained this idea was in both players, a lot of their blunders suddenly make sense. I actually predicted the hanging the queen check!
I kinda lost it when Levy said "it's such a bad move, they're calling the cops outside, are you hearing it," and you could actually hear the cops outside.
I recently had a game where my opponent put all of his pawns except his b pawn on the 6th rank on the 7 first moves, had to move his king on move 8 due to check and then resigned not having moved a single piece. My opponent had the gotham flair on his profile. Quite funny.
@@royalredbird9717 No, lol. The Hippo involves moving your pawns to the sixth rank, but you don't have to move ALL of them there, and you definitely aren't meant to do that and also fail to develop any other pieces.
@@TungTran-ch8fi The game in itself is nowhere near interesting or long enough to be featured on Levy's channel. Having looked at his games archive I think his point was to lose a lot of games to drop rating points (he was around 7-800 when I played him, I see he went down to 2-300 and now is on a long winning streak and back up to 600). So I guess just losing games to win games easier.
7:35 That was definitely a premove, not a blunder. White did not expect a blunder that bad to happen and moved the King to e2 knowing it couldn't be avoided. Except, well, it could. That's just unlucky.
I remember my play at 1100 and I know for a fact i wouldn’t miss a queen literally sitting next to my rook, nor would I have played that queen move in the first place anytime beyond like 400. This seems like a fake game honestly
@@seancarterx nope. I'm 1700 and when I'm tired or tilted in a blitz game, I miss free queens that can be taken by pawns or free pieces on the other side of the board. It happens soo easily.
@@seancarterx I’m sorry, but I think you might just be overestimating yourself a little. I’m 1400 but I remember hanging tons of queens around 1100-1300. I actually blundered a queen this month
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at chess before. Like, what was his plan? Sure the bishop kept moving to the far corner, but it by no means needed to keep doing that after the king arrived, unless premoves screwed him up.
I was like, yeah, when I was 1k, where the hell were these chumps? But then I remembered that a 1k player advanced both their A and H pawns into my half of the board as their opening. The worst part? I lost the game (though, I was quite sloshed).
I find it cute that Levy really thought a player with that kind of gameplay would have any intention or capability to draw a game. Any draw that occurred from us is always unintentional.
I love how the black king chased the white bishop at the end 😂 it reminded me of playing a game called “tip, you’re it” when I was younger, and trying to tag the fastest kids in the class but failing miserably :(
Great video as always! Btw, I believe the flag is Abkhazia, not Togo. The glitch probably relates to the fact that Abkhazia is likely the first place name alphabetically in their system.
I don't understand a game like this ... at least around my rating 1100 - 1200 rapid people usually play legit openings and if either of us hangs a queen or some shit we usually resign.
@@nekoizmase9 Yeah I’m finding this one incredibly hard to believe. Even if bullet I’m 700 bullet and don’t have any games where both me and my opponent missed so many obviously hanging pieces. Even when I’m very drunk lol.
@@SulixD Exactly, same. I'm 1200 and games usually end with like 1-2 big blunders or few minor mistakes in endgame. No way someone play terrible move after terrible move
Been going through lessons with a grandmaster by Boris Gulko and now I click this.... art of a game. That reminds you of 2 lands existing in chess: GM land (Gulko for example) and 1000 land. I don't really understand how can you treat chess like this, but these people can teach me video by video.
As a 500 ELO player who blunders pieces all the time and then goes "Oh no", I think I have an explanation for Queen to b1and then King to c2. My theory is that black did a mouse-slip and instead of taking the rook like they wanted to, they instead pushed queen down. However, on White's last turn when they moved Bishop to C8, they realized they blundered both rooks and expecting Queen to A1, the pre-moved King to e2. That's my theory anyway.
I applaud what your doing and I support you with the daily uploads. But I can’t be the only one who is scared levy will burn himself out and I REALLY don’t want that to happen.
I only just got caught up on the recaps. Man levy has leveled up! Also psychology looking far more solid after every game and playing with confidence for wins. Awesome. Major progress. 💪
I've had a guy move his pawns forward like that before. He did it for the first 5 or so moves, then started pushing their pawns further to push my pieces. His strategy was to win time sinse it was bullet. I won on the end because his pawns fell appart after I allowed him to keep pushing.
The real problem with Ng5 at 1:51 is that it plays directly into black's plan with h6 kicking away the knight. On the other hand, maybe it was a trap. I actually think Arli tried to play f6 and his mouse slipped. But f6 still loses e6.
this isn't the Togo flag, it's the Abkhazia flag. Togo has a red square, a white star in it and yellow and green stripes. Abkhazia has a red rectangle a white hand in it and white and green stripes
This actually makes lots of sense. I was irritated because Togo seemed such a random flag but I suppose Abkhazia is the first "state" in the alphabet and therefore turning up wrongly for several players...
That Qb1 Ke2 stuff is so typical. Black obviously had a mouse slip, but White just had realized that they now lose the rook and already premoved Ke2. That even happens in rapid games when someone is completely convinced about what the next move will be.
Black did not decide to trade queens. Black moved the queen to check the king, didn't realize it could be taken by the other queen, and was lucky that the pawn was there to recapture.
"Chess when played perfectly is a draw"
That has yet to be proven.
I would say the computer championship has proven this to not be true, they even win with black sometimes.
