The brutal thing about chess is that, sometimes, an apparently stupid, desperate attack can actually be a brilliant move, and a move that looks perfectly logical can blunder *all* of your pieces, as well as your car, your house and whatever remaining sanity you may have.
@@Vexus27 i once played a game against Stockfish, it literally sacrificed its queen with no apparent purpose whatsoever. I took it and then was greeted with a mate in *twenty-two.*

Yeah once my opponent was gonna promote a second queen after I blundered my queen and rook, so I gave a bunch of checks and at last I mate him with a pawn lol
Makes you wonder the times you've been winning all the games at your ELO level that you were actually that close to dying but saved by your opponent's low ELO as well.

"Black has a fetish!!" Crazy game! Eval bar bouncing like a yo-yo. Something vaguely familiar about this game. I'm not sure if it was the missed queen trap or the mate in 1 but either way, I've managed both. Oh well - chess is hard! Thanks for the lessons in this episode and trying to teach us how not to play!!
13:40 I'M WHEEZING "Black goes... Full on hungry hungry Hippo and takes every pawn. So instant replay, instead of taking the rook we go: *Pacman noises ensues*"
I had a game where I lost my queen in like the first 20 moves. But then I came all the way back and won. It's not the prettiest gameplay but its serviceable.
In low ELO chess you have a pretty decent chance to come back from even a queen hang. The higher you go the less likely it is but anywhere below 1500 I'd say you're still in within a reasonable chance of turning it around. And even higher there's a tiny but still there chance.
I cannot stop watching. Your explanations are gorgeous. It's like listening to an audio book. You have so much passion for the game, and it bleeds onto us as viewers. I love this.
I was following along pretty deadpan just enjoying Gotham and getting tips and for some reason at 16:08 I jumped/ laughed so much. Rf8.. Ah yes, normal, stopping the mate.. CHECK, wait what?? Oh yes obviously because of my COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED king on f2😂😂😂
@@lyon.731 he just says rf8 check. I was expecting rf8 but when he said check I just cracked up from how silly the position was that that was also a check
Today I got a brilliant mark for trading my Rook for my Opponent's Bishop in a Rook + 2 Pawn Vs Bishop + 1 Pawn, creating a passed pawn for me. I know it's the right thing to do, but a brilliant mark?
Brilliant move is the best move which the engine can find only after certain depth is reached. So it is difficult to find for the engine. Brilliant moves outranks best moves. Hence brilliant moves are only made by the human player
@@iDueSopravvissuti Brilliant move classifications were also changed to include any sacrifice of material, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a complicated move, just one where you sac an exchange for an advantage

@@anthonyulloa4408 i actually got a brilliant like that, it gave me a winning attack, but i was down in material. So, the move that was later labeled as brilliant was actually me seeing a forced draw - not the win.
@@anthonyulloa4408 best moves can do this, brilliant moves can be from this but brilliant moves are from a move that generates a plan thats better than the current best, in which the computer sees now this is better and is a brilliant move
The most fun I had watching a chess game, and at a level I can understand. Keep making videos like these. And thanks to the original players for sharing this exciting game.
I resent the statement that if you see someone moving their king up like that you should report them. Just yesterday I was playing a game (I'm also 1100) and I was losing so bad after a blunder I just started running my king up mid like I was throwing a league of legends game. Id be so mad if I got banned for accidentally playing like an engine when I was actually just trying to throw LMAO
Even when you casually look for king moves during a middle game, there are some tantalizing options to make your position more versatile- if there are no immediate refutations, then if you transition to an endgame your odds of winning can increase drastically. Cheeky maneuver, but it works pretty well in closed/ semi closed positions
When they ban an account they don’t just look at one game. If one game you found and played an engine move that’s just great insight by you. If you’re winning 90% of your games with a constant accuracy at 90 or above they’re going to look more closely. One game and one move is not going to get you banned even if you were reported.
One of the basic themes of chess is the theme of king and pawn offering protection to each other. Keeping one's king adjacent to one or two or three friendly pawns is a way to do so. One case in point is at 15:51 when it is said, "Appearently black had to take with the h pawn... so the pawns needed to stay near the king." Two pawns adjacent to one's king often gives your king more protection than just one pawn adjacent to one's king, as turned out to be the case in this game. When one player had only one pawn remaining, a second case in point is the scenario at 16:42 where it is said "[I]f you are checked here, the engine wants you to move your king out to h4." The h4 move was the only legal move to keep the king adjacent to his last remaining friendly pawn. Having one's king stay adjacent to his last friendly pawn is generally a good idea, unless there is a clear disadvantage to doing so. The computer engine judged keeping the king adjacent to the last friendly pawn to be good in this particular case, but keeping one's king adjacent to his last remaining pawn is often good practice whether or not a computer engine is used. Both players in this game paid too little attention to an overall theme in chess of having king and pawn offering protection to each other. King and pawn sometimes make a surprisingly robust team, but many players ignore too much the potential for teamwork between king and pawn, and end up losing chess matches as a result.
It would be interesting if you did a series where people sent you games they played that contain a Brilliant move, only they don't understand why it's Brilliant and you can explain it to everyone.
Awesome vid, when i saw the position where it was -1 I automatically saw the trapped queen thanks to your 2000+ rated puzzle vids, thanks so much for the great content!

Hi Levy, I am amazed by your recent videos.... I think after your last tournament and some things going on in your personal life, the quality of your videos had dropped mildly. But i see the passion coming back and i am so excited for the future of this channel. You never fail to entertain and I can proudly say that you are the chess king of RUclips. Thank you Levy Rozman for being a part of the chess world. And hey, love your content btw 😉
This series is fun to listen to but more than anything else it encourages me to go and play and just have fun because I feel like "these people are having fun and I could do this". The high level games are interesting and amazing of course but terrifying in the way that watching any master do their thing is a little terrifying.
I once got 3 brilliant moves in a game only time I've had it. I sacrificed my Knight then my Bishop then my queen and checkmated him with a rook. Never seen any more since then lol. One time I sacrificed my queen for checkmate and it gave him taking the queen as a brilliant move but not my sacrifice which lead to checkmate
I did a brilliancy that would seem impossible for a 1500 rapid 10 minute game player ...that was a 6 move checkmate followed by the brilliancy ....and most amazing was the fact that i calculated all the variations in 56 seconds
Calculations are really easy, seeing 6 moves ahead isn't that impressive because it's forced mate, and most likely every move came with a check, but still gj. I can play chess in my head so maybe I'm just used to calculating and it's actually impressive for a 1500.
“And In the face of an imminent disaster for this king getting mated in like 47 different ways” Bruh idk what would give me more pain, watching this or losing to white 😂😂😂😂😂
Levy, I always appreciated how well you can speak languages and pronunciate every name of every player perfectly (it is amazing!), and the fact that the only time I see you speaking the name of a player from Brazil you didn't get it right as you do with other players kinda saddens me a little bit 😅 Great video and thanks for the good content!

Three things i do when i watch a GothamChess video: Step 1: Watch the full video and enjoy the amazing content Step 2:Check the comment section Step 3: Bully the pinned comment of shame and send them home
18:05 While I was watching this video i was finding all the (nearly) best moves he was saying... but im 1100 so in this position i thought the move is Qe3 :>
19:54 does Qe1+ not work for black because after Rd1 blocking the check, if Qxe2, white has Qe7#? If yes, then after Rd1 what if the black queen goes back to b4 to block the mating square e7 for white? I dont see a follow up for white in this position.
... And in the face of an inminent disaster for this king getting mated in like 47 different ways, Black resigns. Jajajaja the icing on the cake of a great recount, I'm still laughing my ass off.

I did a brilliancy that would seem impossible for a 1500 rapid 10 minute game player ...that was a 6 move checkmate followed by the brilliancy ....and most amazing was the fact that i calculated all the variations in 56 seconds
Link? Good job btw :)
Calculations are really easy, seeing 6 moves ahead isn't that impressive because it's forced mate, and most likely every move came with a check, but still gj. I can play chess in my head so maybe I'm just used to calculating and it's actually impressive for a 1500.

@@CodeAlpaca why are chess people so goddamn arrogant, you literally just play a board game
true, could have phrased that better, but I was just saying that it might not have been as impressive as he thought.
The way gotham changes volumes for emphasis reminds me of a chess pastor telling us stories from the engine
“And In the face of an imminent disaster for this king getting mated in like 47 different ways”
Bruh idk what would give me more pain, watching this or losing to white 😂😂😂😂😂
“Ever had a mate by accident… oh it’s mate ? I thought it was just check” literally me 😂😂
Today I played my first brilliant move in chess .
Congratulations :)
My brilliant moves are "ah, yeah, I know I fucked up but- this move has some tricks, and I cant seem to find the best refutation so yolo"
"pp on pp"

Levy, I always appreciated how well you can speak languages and pronunciate every name of every player perfectly (it is amazing!), and the fact that the only time I see you speaking the name of a player from Brazil you didn't get it right as you do with other players kinda saddens me a little bit 😅 Great video and thanks for the good content!
Random Ideas for the channel
1. Chess Champions of the world" series... We all know about World champions, US champions, Russian champions, but what about champions of lesser known countries? From Spain, from Mexico, from Egypt? A series on the best players from different countries around the world that may be lesser known
2. Youth Champions series, Covering worlds up and coming youth, their life stories, and their play styles.
3. Secret troll account, black out your username so the troll username doesn't leak out and just chat with people in online chat to try to mess with them and get content.
4. Guess the Elo variant, play random subs but black out their rating, after beating them guess their rating
5. Updates on the charities and videos of the kids you've helped
6. Shallow selfish plug, I'm around 1800-1900 on the online chess sites, I know we're minority on the channel but any vids directed on where we make mistakes and how we could improve would be cool if you ever get time around to that
These ideas may not be great, but I'm not a youtuber (lol), just a fan, thanks for being amazing :)
i got a brilliant at 500 elo with bishop forced sacrifice checkmate or something that let me checkmate lol
Two rooks, a bishop, a king and a partridge in a pear tree.. i love christmas carols
16:28 me finding kg3, qb3 or qa3, kh4 him saying only a cheater would find that me ._. im not a cheater
By the way, he meant to put "..." not "._."
"Oh no my Knight and Eric Rosen tingles a little" 😂😂😂
Just came across this comment as he said it lol
I REALLY Want to see your live reaction to the game! I love the rook sack and I can't wait to see you jumping and hollering with delight! as always, great content Mr. Levy
My homie really said ‘juicy square’ 😂😂😂
New to chess. Huge fan. Your bit about acting like any of us have any maturity whatsoever made me spit out my coffee... hilarious!!!! Keep up the great work man.
I had a brilliant move at cirka 750 elo. I sacrificed my rook to deflect the king, and bring my severe loss into a win by winning the opponents queen.
Day 362 of translating Levy's titles to Russian: "Рейтинг 1100 - НЕВЕРОЯТНАЯ ИГРА!"
18:16
I honestly thought about playing that .. forgetting that bishops can go back lmao
Three things i do when i watch a GothamChess video:
Step 1: Watch the full video and enjoy the amazing content
Step 2:Check the comment section
Step 3: Bully the pinned comment of shame and send them home
✍️✍️📩📩
"...Penguins or other animals in the savanna?" Bruh... lolol
Can you make a video on Boris Spassky vs Bobby Fischer rematch of 1992?? It'd be really appreciated
i was acting so mature at the "pp" comment until he brought up 69 LMAO i busted out laughing
18:05 While I was watching this video i was finding all the (nearly) best moves he was saying... but im 1100 so in this position i thought the move is Qe3 :>
You need to do mate in one puzzles
vvvv do mate in 1 puzzles they're so good, my puzzle rating is like 500 higher than my live rating and it help with board vision.
@@johnathanroth6205 the worst part is that my puzzle rating is 1900 (on l**ess) 😅
Parents watching the video: "DID THAT CHESS MAN JUST SAY PIPI????"
thanks for the content gotham, youre the best
19:54 does Qe1+ not work for black because after Rd1 blocking the check, if Qxe2, white has Qe7#? If yes, then after Rd1 what if the black queen goes back to b4 to block the mating square e7 for white? I dont see a follow up for white in this position.
The follow-up is 38. Qxg6+ Rf7 39. Qxf7#.
... And in the face of an inminent disaster for this king getting mated in like 47 different ways, Black resigns.
Jajajaja the icing on the cake of a great recount, I'm still laughing my ass off.
