I love the idea of both you and ludwig hiring professional chess players to backseat you, but neither of the pros know, so they're just playing against each other thinking you / ludwig are goated at chess.
@@Yerocco They might for sure, but if it's set up right (footage of the chess players, like this video did with levy, for example) then we get some really good reactions out of it as well. Even after they 'figure it out', they'll wonder who they are playing against and that could be fun to watch.
The worst part is that Stanz was a good sport about it. If he had gone on a unhinged salty rant accusing ludwig of cheating he would have been completely justified and been hailed as a prophet who saw through ludwig's cheats
content/game idea: you both bring a pro in to cheat, but then you both can call each other out on whether a given move was a cheated move or not, and some kind of penalty happens if you get caught or if you were wrong in your call. basically combining the card game bullshit with chess
Friend's self esteem? He could actually learn quite a bit from this. Supposing they did not know that Ludwig was cheating, and they lost twice in a row after beating Ludwig in the past with easy, self accountability must be applied and you will look at your mistakes and actually learn something this time. The game of Chess usually isn't recommended to be played while involving emotion, since it causes you to act in an irrational manner, so why should we discuss how the person is feeling and not about learning something from all this? Jeez, why are we even pointing it out like that, it was just some goof at the end of it all, too.
5:26 For those of you wondering, a mating net is when you control most or all of the king's escape squares so that the king's movement is limited and therefore easier to checkmate. After h4 the king has no squares and can't escape and it's hard in that position for black to help his king escape.
I watched Lud's vid thinking 'haha, ya that's pretty funny to do to a friend'. But seeing Stanz pov I realize if my friend was saucing me online in a game, having a pro play for him AND having the gull to snort and chortle at me, it'd be hands on sight when I found out about it 🤣
lmao watching the pov of the person who gets scammed is so interesting because you honestly don’t totally consider how messed up it is when you feel like you’re in on the joke. also, he said that those of us that watched lud’s video would think he was stupid but in the beginning he made some insane moves and lud played way worse than him when he wasn’t being given the best possible moves
honestly Lud's vid made you look amazing the whole time, your play was spectacular, it was super entertaining and he put himself in the antagonist position, it was so well done
It's great to see your reaction to this. You handled it the best way possible and this entire prank was very entertaining to watch. Gotta say, makes me wanna see you guys rematch for real this time so you can win a fair matchup for revenge.
Not in the best way possible. He does not realize, that Levy did not help Ludwig with every move. Levy just had inner dialogue for most of the moves. Dialogue that Ludwig did not hear
Nice to meet you, fellow Chess player. Found you from Levy to Ludwig to you, like a knight move on the board. You played well, I also love the feeling when in the end it is revealed that we played several of the best moves. It's a feeling that is hard to put to words, but "wanting to kiss yourself" is one way. Ludwig did you a favor because he used the Levy's IM powers to push the game up past your level, and bring out your best Chess...pushing you to the limits. It allowed you to shine though, in the end. I think Ludwig should have informed you of his prank right afterwards.
I actually came from Ludwig’s channel and dude you didn’t even strike me as a pissy baby it was very enjoyable watching you both ((btw got a subscriber))
You played some amazing moves. I hope we get to see GothamChess breakdown these games because you were amazing and its so instructional. Great chess king. We love you. Thanks for the awesome content.
in ludwig’s video lud left a little more of levy’s analysis, i wouldn’t be surprised if levy has a video about it at some point tho there was def some good takeaways from them
At 9:29 you could have put the queen in h6 so the pawn cant take since its pinned by the rook so the king has to move and then you put your rook in g7 king cant take cuz queen protecting it and black has to move another pieces and then you put your queen in h7 checkmating black and white could've won faster
A mating net as defined by Websters dictionary. When men or women string together a bunch of lies to trick the other party in to the bedroom or a relationship Or it's a web of pieces the king can get pushed to and tangled up in for the checkmate . It's probably the 2nd one
Don't worry about not being funny. You were funny and such a good sport you came out of this whole thing as good as was possible. Bet it's boosted your profile no end too
Levy didn't give him EVERY move, he only saved him when he was in trouble. That's why you were up +10 eval and couldn't convert (vs an IM - obviously fair). Levy let him get into massive trouble and did make a comment that he didn't know if he could save him at some point (not shown in this video). I think if you KNEW Levy was helping him that you would've won - I think you played less accurately (the queen blunder) because you assumed the victory was at hand because of the material imbalance. You're clearly stronger and you were SO far ahead that even Magnus couldn't have saved it if you played safe knowing you were effectively against an engine. I should also say that I'm a chess fan, but I LOVE that you give such positive energy for the untitled streamers in the chess RUclips world.
Lol he said you played all the time then the video started and he said he might mute from time to time because this and that... and I thought well he would know how you play if you play all the time..... so funny when you said he straight up lied lol
I love the idea of both you and ludwig hiring professional chess players to backseat you, but neither of the pros know, so they're just playing against each other thinking you / ludwig are goated at chess.
That's a dope idea tbh. Basically just Hand and Brain but the brains don't know it.
feel like the chess players would notice tbh
This is such a great idea
@@AIByBard yeah they would notice for sure lol

Even funnier is that if role were reversed I'm 1000% sure Ludwig would be absolutely malding if he was throwing leads like that LMAO
Are people salty at this or?
it aint that deep
Bro its not that serious lol
@@CrackedDota FACTS LMAO
I think this shows that you could play way better against higher ranked players if you just think as little of your opponents as you do of ludwig.
I mean kinda, but mostly he just got leads only when Lud blundered. Levy didn’t suggest any bad moves
Hikaru said this about Levy, ironically
@@pikachufanz4744 yeah but levy is way closer to Hikaru then anyone watching this video is to him
@@akhwalters9784 He said that about Levy, not Stanz.

That’s a great idea
Bluff chess lmao
Pretty good unironically
HYPE THIS COMMENT TO THE FREAKIN SUN!!!
Awkward moment when you cheat to destroy your friend's self esteem then he finds out just how good he played and feels even better

You see it at 5:21 better;)
Rematch him with Hikaru backing you in case he brings Levy again 👌
Hikaru would never cheat like that.
gotta be careful ludwig doesnt bring his best friend
What about Ludwig's very best friend Magnus
And then it's really just hikaru vs levy in the guise of stanz and Ludwig 😂
@@aesir748 Stockfish time
My favorite part of all this was reading ludwig's chat during the game lmao
I watched Lud's vid thinking 'haha, ya that's pretty funny to do to a friend'.

Crazy, that in just 2 days this became Stanzs most viewed video.
honestly Lud's vid made you look amazing the whole time, your play was spectacular, it was super entertaining and he put himself in the antagonist position, it was so well done
you truly are a kind genuine person. Good to see on youtube :) Absolutely a great friend and person.
Stanz is so positive, it makes it so much funnier.
he was secretly pissed though
@@MrDilly4545 must not be very good at keeping secrets if you know about it

@ 4:47 Levy Said "King F7" But ludwig chose to do Rook F8, So It was not levy who made the mistake
First time GothamChess has been called "one of the best players in the world" lmao
I mean he’s like top 3,000 in the world. Still elite
Last time I was this early, Atrioc still had hair ;)
Atrioc catching strays outta nowhere 😂
So you were in nam too?
Okay now I am watching a reaction to a video I watched, from the man the video was about. Full circle, full insanity.
Good luck for the exams everyone
It's actually so funny looking back on this cause I was watching Ludwig's stream when he cheated
hindsight is always 20/20
erm... its 2023?
@@stanz you should delete your channel
@@stanz comedic genius Nathan "One-night" Stanz back at it again
Scamwig lives up to his reputation.
Super fun stream and videos ggs.
5:29 Basically, A mating net is where the kings escape route is blocked. So that pawn move would've blocked the kings escape.
Man, imagine if this happened and Stanz won
Got mad props from Levy on Game 1. You should be proud mate 😎
I was highly anticipating this response!
I saw someone in chat in luds vid who said, he should ask gothamchess to help him, man saw the future
The 2.3k like to 3 dislike ratio, goated.
You can see the dislikes?
@@freakcan google extension
He didn't cheat, he is going to sue you unless you apologize
You definitely didn’t watch this video or even ludwigs video lmao
@@TNS-G believe it's a joke referring to the hans Nieman scandal
"Having an IM in his ear". The reality his he had an IM using stockfish in his ear. Honestly, it just show's how unbeatable those chess computers are.
Levy wasn't using stockfish to find the best move. He only used it for eval
I actually came from Ludwig’s channel and dude you didn’t even strike me as a pissy baby it was very enjoyable watching you both ((btw got a subscriber))
You played some amazing moves. I hope we get to see GothamChess breakdown these games because you were amazing and its so instructional. Great chess king. We love you. Thanks for the awesome content.
I think he kinda did in Ludwig's video :)
in ludwig’s video lud left a little more of levy’s analysis, i wouldn’t be surprised if levy has a video about it at some point tho there was def some good takeaways from them
Yeah, to get Levy to think for a moment that Stanz was cheating as well means Stanz was playing extremely well !
Did Lud dirty on the thumbnail
This warrants a rematch to put him in his place!
He rizzen to the occasion
Ludwig shoulda just texted you, "New vid, come check it out"
can’t wait for the follow up when stanz does the same back to Lud
Good response video. Love to see this from stanz pov
And then he sacrificed… HIS FRIENDSHIP
This just ended up being a massive ego boost for Stanz.
7:37 Bro's cat walked pass the door
Thanks for being a good sport about it. Quality entertainment.
Ludwig lied people died...
This video is perfect, just to hear Gotham chess compliment stanz in being a great chess player.
the Discord SS wouldve been a better thumbnail lolol
great edit stanz
thankyou youtube algorithm i am a new stanz fan
you frame it off the start like they got u or something and then u realize this video just makes you look amazing at chess hahahaha
I hope Levy responds!! Lmao so good!
Gotham chess is so effortlessly cool
Haha XD poor Stanz! But he did great seeing Levy's reactions!
At 9:29 you could have put the queen in h6 so the pawn cant take since its pinned by the rook so the king has to move and then you put your rook in g7 king cant take cuz queen protecting it and black has to move another pieces and then you put your queen in h7 checkmating black and white could've won faster
You handled this great 😂
Bro why wouldnt you put QT in the thumbnail instead of levy
meanie bobiny
You played real good there :)

Great respect for Stanz!
Rematch him Stanz you got this !
Glad to see you were such a great sport about it
stanz poppin off Pog
Can you just do this with all of Lud video it would be very convenient
Now box him, but have Mike Tyson in your gloves.
Yo Stan’s spacebar slaps SHEESH that pop is so nice. Is it a custom keyboard?
Stanz the GOAT
if this ludwig guy keeps this up, he'll be as big as you one day!
You actually played great, you're definitely better than a 900 when concentrating
Ludwig lied, people died…
Don't worry about not being funny. You were funny and such a good sport you came out of this whole thing as good as was possible. Bet it's boosted your profile no end too
great sport love ya stanz
God's gift to chess.
stanz is literally gothamchess's cousin wtf
I guess you could say Ludwig had an IM-plant…
I’ll see myself out
Honestly got owned. Ludwig only needed help twice.
Stanz, please help. What is your dental routine. How do I get my teeth that white? like DAMN
of course ludwig cheated. what did you think would happen?
I feel like they did this for publicity
while it made for two hilarious videos, this is why cheating in chess is wrong folks!
dude not cool to accuse Lud of cheating without proof.
Lol pretty cool dude. Subscribing to this channel for sure!
Levy didn't give him EVERY move, he only saved him when he was in trouble. That's why you were up +10 eval and couldn't convert (vs an IM - obviously fair).

if he had played better levy would have just come in earlier.
You should get him back, ask himaru nakamura to help you stomp him
How will this new cheating scandal effect Hans Neiman’s legacy?
Bro said “Madge”?
You are too wholesome of a man
Ok now send Andrea Botez to kill Gotham..
stanz after getting robbed by lud like this u get my sub. Fuck that guy u played awesome
Stanz is the goat
Levy should’ve thrown for content.
Lol he said you played all the time then the video started and he said he might mute from time to time because this and that... and I thought well he would know how you play if you play all the time..... so funny when you said he straight up lied lol
Yo stanz aussie taskmaster comes out soon you should check it out!
Hey, I saw this video. Stanz isn't bad.
Great video
wtf this video blew up so fast
gothram probably played that blind or didn`t see the field hahaaa. But nice!!!!!!

Wait I wanna watch taskmaster with u how do I do that?
Imagine actually being mad at Ludwig for this 💀
