@@EebstertheGreat Well, while the game we've watched is complete (no running out of time) and super ugly, it was probably taken as a means of relief. So I don't see the point in Levy's comments then: yes, the move is bad because it was meant to be bad, not because the player miscalculated.

I think Black felt like Mikhail Tal at the end of that game: he sacrificed a Rook, two Knights, tried to sacrifice the Queen several times and yet White was impotent against the brute force of Black's attack
I honestly didn't expect the move at all! I mean, if it's queen vs queen, okay, but it's queen vs rook 😂 I'd be like, how tf did that just happen....?! 🤦🤷 When lower rated matches are more interesting than GM levels... Truly fascinating! 🤧🙈
This is what happens when two beautiful people set all intellect aside, and just play with their hearts. You can tell that these two people are in love. It is a mating dance. Straight to the point doesn't work in this case. You don't just start the game wanting to play chess yet. You must work your way up to that folks. Thank you, as usual, Levy. Hilarious.
At first, during the opening I thought "There's no way these people are 300! They are playing an almost perfect early game!" and then the blunders started coming.
As a budding 400 elo player, I feel like its always like that. Decent opening moves getting into good positions, but then going monke mode in midgame because I have no idea what moves to make next.
Thanks for doing this, Levy. As a wannabe 300 Elo (currently I'm at about 270), this game looked a whole like almost every game I've played. Good to have your analysis & comments & advice.
I love when he explains the thought process of a 300 as if they know what a Vienna is or any opening when he goes “maybe they just weren’t prepared for a Vienna and wanted to avoid that”🤣🤣🤣we are just clicking buttons bro
I played a game against a random girl and I was like "wtf is she doing" and asked in chat if she knew how the pieces moved (because it made zero sense) and she was like "no i just started lol". Incredibly funny.
@@gamersoaisis3147 theoretically/mathematically yes, but in practice/reality there are not an infinite number above 200 *elo* (the unit of measurement we're using). It is a very finite number since the highest skilled player is at 2882 (a little above that in the rapid format - which these guys were playing). Even if you include engines, their theoretical Elo doesn't go that high.
This one had me laughing. Just the fact that he is so lost on finding an explanation and then coming up with the absurdest one for online chess is pure gold.
Levy: explaining the opening in full detail Me: laughing, fully aware of the fact that I didn't know pawns can be promoted yet accepted my fate as a second and third queen appeared on the board when I was a 300.
i always hear these things like "dutch defense" "rafael version" "this and that defense" im genuinely surprised that top players have basically memorized all of these, its kinda crazy tbh
It's probably because they hear about the opening, play the opening repeatedly, and learn the common gameplay patterns that happen afterwards. The repetition makes it hard to forget.
It is not really a surprise, top players train and play chess for a lot of years extensively, like you can learn a whole language in that time and effort, why would it be crazy to memorize like 50 openings in that timeframe? Mainlines are not that hard anyway, just by watching occasionally streams it's possible, variations are more numerous, but they are named after their inventors and their famous games, and are probably cornerstones of chess courses
Dutch defense isn’t hard to memorize, it’s literally just black playing f5 on the first move against anything not named e4. The variations are a lot more unrealistic to memorize of course, but the Dutch is a single pawn move, like the Sicilian or the French.
I often get to a position in mid games where I have absolutely NO Idea what do do next. I’d love to see a series titled something like ‘what would Gotham do’? Where we send a mid game in with a WTF position, what we eventually did, and what Gotham would’ve done instead. Because I often sit there stumped thinking damn - What would Gotham do now??? ;)
The best way to get out of that problem is to ask yourself: "Can any of my pieces be improved?" Look for moves that make your pieces more active, have control of more space, have more mobility, have more potential threats. Also, analyse your games afterwards with an engine, and the engine will tell you what you should have played.
@@noxteryn agree on all of that, just thinking it could be a good series for Gotham to pick up too with his instructional abilities being easy to follow than simply an engines recommendations - which will never tell you why it’s saying what the best move is. :)

Even though I'm rated more than 1,000 points higher than these two players, this made me feel so good about my game. At least when I hang a queen, I immediately recognize I've done it after I let go of the mouse button.
It's usually something like "Oh no, i just hanged my queen, time to resign" and the opponent probably didn't even realise you hanged a queen because who the heck hangs their queen just like that in this elo. Happened to me lot of times
Rules are different for 300 ELO- if someone hangs a piece you HAVE to hang a piece, Queens can only be taken by other royalty...... so on and so forth. Don't be uncivil
Yeah pretty crazy to think that as a 1000 rated player, you still think like 4,5 moves deep sometimes and have to try really hard to find something to do whereas a 1500+ rated player can just look at the position and see a good move
My guess both players have memorized a opening, but haven't learned anything past that (at that point of their progress anyway). The multitude of ways white had chance of winning the game and not actually do it was weird. Same with queen trades, if you can take a queen with a pawn I would spend some time to wonder what kind of trap this is before just taking it.
They actually did pretty well for that rating, nothing blundered in the opening. A lot of sub-1000 games just have crazy piece hangs right out of the gate.

Lol at defending the queen with a pawn. That was hilarious
I'm half expecting someone to blunder their queen on turn 2 somehow
Qd4 is the greatest move I have ever seen personally
I know I'm terrible at chess, but this game is just INSANE. I still don't know who's going to win 13:47 in, because it's just been blunder city.
I was dubious about the intro, but I indeed felt every single emotion possible watching this game...
It is as of move zero that we have a completely new game
When a 300 elo plays a better opening than you.
These 300 ELO breakdowns give me hope to find redemption options when I blunder
I love how when the 300 elos find a not blundering move Levy is like "VERY NICE MOVE" but ngl its suprising
I spat out my coffee when Levy said that was the worst move ive ever seen in my life🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clearly he didn't see moving the bishop out of danger to expose the rook coming down the road.
"Hanging mate" is probably my favorite phrase to hear.
“Maybe he’s trying to re set up his board for the next game” 😂🤣
1:20 sarcastic: they clearly know
2:48 no Queen blunders, impressive
5:07 Übertreibung
7:10, 8:08, 10:37 He hates Rooks
9:39 Back to beginning, but maybe Exodia
11:18 Draw with his own
12:05 immortal queen
13:50 nice bishop move...
We laughed, we learned, we cried, we were entertained… Thank you, Levy!🙏
This is the funniest video you’ve ever uploaded hahahaha you’re giving a serious educational review, while recapping, while entertaining and it all works together perfectly with your demeanor and I’m in tears hahahahahaha god I love chess
That has to be the most painful example of an end game I have ever seen.
“Setting up the board for the next game” had me rolling
I’ve been thinking about this video all day after my 1st watch and rewatched it. I honestly think this is the funniest commentary I’ve seen from you on any video.
hey levy, i just recently graduated and im back on the Gotham hype train, and i what to say thank you for still using my artwork (on Twitter) as your pfp!!! its so heartwarming to see it still there ❤️
Is that actually... Artwork...?
I am graduating in a week and I am still on the Gotham hype train
Wait is that an artwork ?😅
I mean like his hairs look better than real but I never thought that to be an artwork
I thought it's just him doing a post with a greenscreen , hope you're not lying about this tbh
That's an artwork?
This was really inspiration. I’m stuck at 900 right now but hopefully if I quit chess for a few years I can comeback and be 300
The 5 pieces of exodia man 💀
9:45 “ And is setting up the board for the next game” 🤣
These guys would definitely wreck Hikaru and Magnus.
Easily. Some of the 'big brain' tactics on show were incredible 👍
1:00 bro if you think 300 elo guys know about opening names you know nothin' 💀
Levy almost made a Baka Mitai Chess match
"It's mate... even by accident" lol, had a great laugh here
When Nb4 was played instead of Qd2 if white played Qb5+ then can black play Bc6, Qxb4, a5, Qb3, a4, Qb4, Bf8 and just simply trap the queen?
