At 2:45, you say that if the king moves, the king loses the right to castle. The king had already moved to capture the knight there and as such had already lost the castling rights.
Im not a cheater-catcher expert, but i think in the very first game once the cheater took all his opponents pieces, he thought "okay im gonna nail this from here on my own", didnt pay attention to the engine anymore, premoved to took the last pawn with the rook, and then realized he stalemated. Levi was generous with thinking he just 'didnt want to get caught'
I don’t think the first game was cheated at all. The opening had multiple mistakes and taking pieces is something any noob can do if they’re being offered up for free
@@thefranklin6463 I agree, I think many of the things Levy picked up on were harsh, like him moving the king was quite a simple idea since he couldnt castle (he moved king earlier), and yeah just picked up a lot of free pieces
"How to cheat in Chess" I feel like Levy is trying to teach us how to cheat so he can get more cheaters to use for content (also name the plant Hamster 🐹)
My guy didn't quit because he felt bad, he quit because he lost despite cheating and was incredibly frustrated. Rather than banning cheaters, sites should repeatedly pair them against stockfish fake accounts and let them grind out their own frustration until they rage quit.
I'm around that level and it's wild, some games I feel like I'm beating up a toddler and other games are like Paul Morphy was reincarnated and taught how to use the internet.
@meekrab If you say youre advanced when youre making a brand new chess account you start at 1600, so youre playing either a "genuine" 1400 or stronger and just didnt put the effort to grind to a higher elo, or someone who thought was advanced and lost like 4 games in a row
@@meekrab9027 yea I feel the same way. 1450 and I have runs where im like "dude, im a legit 1600-1700, these 1500s suck" and times where I have 90 move games to lose to like a 1300.
“Then they felt guilty so they stopped.” Not necessarily. Some cheaters stop on their own because they get bored of playing god, and the thrill of getting away with it wears off before the actual ban.
Thank you Gotham. You taught me how to play chess and I went from stuck at 300 to now 820, still gaining, in just a month. I didn’t even know how to play until a month ago!! Thank you Levy ❤
2:43 He can't block the check because the King has already moved before Edit: I mixed things up. He *CAN* block but the reason you usually block early King checks is because you don't want to lose your right to castle, but since the King has already moved, they lose nothing by blocking the check, which is why moving the King was the top Engine move.

We need to see a video about Ding’s path to the world championship, starting with karjakins game that qualified him for the candidates, then a game of Ding vs one of the Chinese GMs during the 25 game in 30 days period, then his win against Hikaru to get 2nd in candidates, then finally game 4 of rapid against Ian. And of course plenty of storytelling in between each game
I think this is a good idea. Ding’s journey to becoming the world champion is quite fascinating, and Gotham’s old video had more of a negative and depressing outlook on the situation whereas a new video would be refreshing.
@2:50 ..Ke7 was the top move because black couldn’t castle. Black moved the King @2:17 and then moved it back to e8 @2:23. I love your content. I find it informative and entertaining, just thought I’d point that out.
In times where everyone can install addons like "Chess-Assist for Chrome" its so annoying to play chess online. Someone needs to find a way to block these addons on the store.
The problem with studying robot moves is that they're extremely hard to spot in practice and you have to be incredibly good at the game to even attempt.
ruclips.net/video/I0zqbO622rg/видео.html Levy did a video about Magnus learning from alphazero but as others have said computers often make moves which no human would ever see except perhaps a super gm with enough time.
a good name for your plant would be "B. secalinus" for the following reason: The common weed chess (B. secalinus), sometimes known as cheat or soft chess, is found along roadsides and in grain fields. i feel like it fits the theme of the video :)
Personally the reason why i enjoy watching chess cheater content is because it is essentially the same thing as watching an engine play. One of my favourite gothamchess series of videos are the "Alphazero VS Stockfish" videos. But not only do i get to see some chess played at such a high level that makes even Super GMs lose their minds, i also really like the fact that we get some comeuppance for people who cheat which just gives it that nice cherry on top at the end.
FYI, in that first game, the black king had already moved, so he had already lost his right to castle. I’m not totally convinced that he was cheating at all the first game. A lot of those moves seemed pretty natural. Capturing when able, moving pieces that are under attack, and I think they just didn’t see the stalemate.
4:07 I think he didn't even know that was a stalemate. He probably saw mate in 1 in evaluation bar and thought taking on the pawn on b5 was a mate with both Knight and Rook.
That would be so silly.. If Rook takes, the King is not in Check. If they see M1, they would probably do something that puts the King in Check like move the Knight. Hopefully lol Seems to me that they love to finish the game themselves to look less suspicious and feel accomplished, but they must've rushed that Rook move.. Or they just didn't think too much about it lol
You inspired me to play for the first time in years. I lost, but I was sharp enough to spot a point where the opponent could've checkmated me but did'nt. Edit: I did 4 games and won 2 by time and resignation

man .. I'm a returning player at elo around 1000 and ever since i've been playing chess one of my "tricks sorta say were those checks before capturing when winning or trading a piece, now with your cheater videos, that I'm glad I found by the way , make me feel hopefull bout my chess skills by saying they are hard to find , maybe I should learn some openings finally
There's still one cheater I know and still not banned right now. And he even tries to put FIDE rating on his own profile to avoid suspicions. (because in my country there is no player who have that high rating)
2:42 - most normal people would probably recognize that you can’t castle anymore because you moved the king to take the night so playing pawn up is actually just pointless. Going up puts you into safety in your pawns and keeps momentum on your side. I’m 1000 and recognized this, cmon Levy
Imagine getting mad people above you're level, who you cheated to even get to play against, are better than you. I got steamrolled in my first 10 games and then I reached people my level and now I am above the 10 people, who steamrolled me to 400 elo. Get gud scrubs.

Haha, I'm kinda afraid someone would accuse me of trying to cheat using Martin.
