Seems like UA-cam is broken on mobile devices. Hopefully it is fixed soon. So what did you do this weekend?
Pin of shame
Nah only your vid is broken for me 🤔
Not much, been enjoying chess and training for next week chess finals match at my school
Stress over schoolwork and college admissions
Finally no pin of shame . Played blitz and lost 30 elo points lol.
There are the GM draws, that are like a boring 0-0 or 1-1 in Football, but this one is like a crazy 4-4 with 2 reds for each side and a goal in stoppage time.
ROFLMAO. So true!
literally LMAO
Fr tho
2reds lmfao 😂

Gotham: This is the craziest game I've ever seen.

Gotham: This is the craziest game I've ever seen.
just not the same reason
Yes, because he doesn’t know the craziest game two days later
If I could show him a game or two he could talk about how retarded some of my opponents are. I really suck though. Lol
they get crazier every time.

17:32
as a 800 rated player im very proud of myself for finding this move, while having no idea what it accomplishes
Same
en passant
same but 500 here
Same plus I'm 200 elo
@@jevilsugoma1743 no offense but how do you get as low as 200 elo without smurfing? like i think of 200 elo as people who know how to move the pieces and that's it
Imagine a viewer submitting h6 h5 for guess the ELO. Gotham would rip him apart "I'm getting 800 vibes"
He said he would ve pissed if 700s play it
These players play chess in the way exactly the inventors wanted us to play...just the purest form of chess
One inventor - Gary chess
I don't think so. The advantage goes back & forth from W to B to W to B like in early 19th-century games... At 12:03 W can play Nb6+ and Bf4 and win the Black Queen
Chess as John Chess intended
Did you say Adolf Anderssen?
Meh, passively fianchettoing both bishops and sacrificing pawns for long-term positional compensation is definitely not the way that chess was supposed to be played. Black takes all the credit for making this game as crazy as it was. White was just lucky he came up against a creative opponent, but is himself most certainly just another generic, boring player.
It's actually mine. A 150 move game with 147 blunder and 3 mistakes. BEAT THAT
Bro ur better than Magnus Carlson jesus
You mean Carlos Magnussen?
levent op
@@phantomfish3555 yes sorry I spelt it wrong
Can we mathematically derive the longest possible chess game (by number of moves) with ofc no repetition
Edit : I found the answer to be :
5898 moves by following all the rules of chess including the 50 move rule, the game actually ends in a draw
To understand the complete process search UA-cam for
Longest possible game of chess
video
Ok signing out now
I have to agree, this is one of the, if not the craziest game I have ever seen in my life
this deserves to be played by the GMs again to decide if this game is actually winnable on each side
@@neko_aple what? No. Engines are the judge of this. Gms miss stuff and make mistakes all the time
@@Jartran72 i mean in this game it looked like the engine was high af so I wouldn’t rely on it
this is how chess was played in the old days and how its the most fun.
Also shows how chess is not solved, by far lol. Just play crazy opening and have fun
@@jeheudel3711 broo i believe the players didnt had fun playing this game, and analysing it afterwords probabley drived them crazzy. soo yeah i would call that so much fun.
@@wil3y123 I disagree, I have played a few 'crazy' games OTB myself, and I'll tell you that they're actually a lot of fun. Unless your opponent destroys you lol
@@jeheudel3711 probably never at the stakes they are at tho. Also not at the level
More than one person has said this, but I don't understand. What is the similarity? keeping pieces mostly undeveloped at the start?
This game was the perfect chance for u to turn the Tabels and let us guess the Elo, cause i would never expect this game to be played between two 2400 ratet players. Missed Opportunity there but okay. NICE VIDEO!
I was thinking the same thing! Would have been epic to play this off as a Guess the Elo and then reveal at the end it was two titled players!
see Levi, Content creats it self. Pls do a new series where u let us guess the elo. BTW sorry for the cring Comment your own Comment thing, but what ever. For the Algorithmen!
THANK YOU FOR THE SPOILER
@@David-lb6uf don’t read comments before you watch lol
Not sure what Elo I would have guessed. There was no obvious blunders after all, but just very weird development at the start. Probably my guess would have fluctuated with the game, I have no idea where it would have ended. :D
Benji could win them all without even looking at the board.
The thing is that he doesn't want to destroy them bcs he is a good dog
Damn man I used to think Benji was his kid 😂
I’ll destroy you
@@jimhalpert9898 thats hot
That's so cringe
Good dog? Or good doggo?
levys jokes are always straight up fire, this man has a goldmine of comedy
His jokes are always naturally executed as well, even if it’s insulting us, it’s acceptable
17:30 No one will find this move
My 800 ass: Eh let’s go for something wild, a4+
Levy: The move is a4+
Me: Pogged out of my mind
Me too. I jumped out of my chair laughing when he said the move. I'm only 760 Blitz
I analyzed a4+ because I was spoiled by the comments, but completely missed what the correct follow up was
@@KaneYork oh same I would have had no fucking clue what to do afterwards
too bad you could never find it in a real game
Sometimes your first instinct is the right one lol
I never like to be the "I found the move!" guy, but I actually did find a4+ and I'm really proud of myself since I've been struggling with my board vision a lot lately :D
"No one will find this move" - Gotham 2022
POV: You found the move
@@TomSmith-io9ek lol that's why I was so proud of myself for it. I definitely didn't have the right continuation figured out though
Yeah, this statement was very weird because I was thinking ok, next move is white to give a check with queen and at that same moment Levy made that confusing statement. Sorry, Levy, WHAT? I dont even have ELO rating and I found it...
lol same, but that's cause I'm a silly goose and I thought "omg check and then en passant, I would have played that"
I also thought instantly about a4+ but obviously didn't pause the video and thought about it, just had a hunch it was that move :D It just seemed good
If this game was in Guess the Elo...
Levy: I'm getting below 1000 and high 900 vibes.
*checks the real rating: 2400 and 2300*
Levy: ummm, ... Guess the elo is banned from now.
This is why we love chess. I mean, I wouldn't say I enjoy playing this kind of position myself, because I am a scrub who sucks at calculation, but it is great to watch.
Actually h6 was in Surya Ganguly's chessable course on Semi-Tarrasch
congrats for scoring 100% result in tournament
Interesting. Thanks.

I played white in this game, very happy to see that it has found its way to such a large audience. Thanks for the great commentary!! :)
Btw, please realize that large portions were played under immense time pressure (this is where the majority of the opportunities were missed, not to say that I would have found a4 or any of the other moves with more time though)
Great game
Dude, the names are literally on screen.
@@bradleyjones4020 bro not everyone has their name as their UA-cam username. His first name (woodpusher) is clearly a synonym to chess player so why assume hes making it up?
That game was bonkers lmao, that a4+ move is brutal
@@bradleyjones4020 Who asked bro?
185th day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan: "A miglior partit e scacc ro 2022"
È la cosa più bella e random che abbia mai visto hahaha
You really been at it for this long, your comment history don’t lie
@@memetos9375 The other dude who translated the titles into russian was having some 300 day streak
How is that strawberry vanilla and chocolate???
Si u mostr fratm
It's games like this really highlights how beautifully creative chess can be
This was indeed a crazy, wacko, totally insane game. Thanks for featuring it.
What really helps with the craziness is how Levy breaks down any tangents that could have happened. Each time this is done, crazy events become even more ludicrous and rare while the game shows off just how expansive the skill gaps can be.
It reminds me of one of those math problems in which depending on how you try to find a value through limits you get positive infinity, negative infinity... or zero. Really amazing game, thanks for the commentary.
Levy is a real one for knowing a bit abt every sport even outside the US like European ⚽
That’s what I like about him. He knows about popular sports unlike most chess UA-camrs who can name like 56 openings and 372 chess players but practically knows nothing about other sports
I know every sport as well not that impressive.
@@jimhalpert9898
Not only that, going further than knowing all these same sports but abroad, not thinking only ur country matters (common in American culture), shows your open personality.
@Oswald Cobblepot The people you mentioned usually know more than one sport tbh. Also, some pro athletes do know about chess. Take Trent Alexander-Arnold for example. He’s one of the world’s best RB in football right now, and he also plays chess. Dude even played against Magnus once
@Oswald Cobblepot Well one thing that’s for sure is that chess is nowhere near being as entertaining as most sports, so your point does make sense
I really thought you were hyping this game up for content (which is fine by me) but after seeing it my mind was blown over and over and over with every move. Thank you for the content and kudos for the AMAZING joke: "You cannot spell Chess without Hess" Had me dying for 5 minutes straight :D
Glad to see you back making content, keep it up man
I love your game reviews man they’re so much fun to watch. Actually explains everything but is also entertaining
Holy shit, that King on a1 looked like a Shogi kingwalk.
(For those who don't know, there's no castling move in Japanese Chess-and most pieces are good at attacking forwards, bad at attacking sidewards. So running your King to the opposite backrank can save a lost position into a draw.)
Imagine if this game was on guess the Elo, and they were both ranked 900.
no 900 makes a draw ‘up’ a queen
@@debblez Truth
@@debblez True, they usually stalemate.
@@debblez I'm 900 in one time format and I would for sure make a draw here. There's nothing else to do - what are you gonna do - sac your queen for a pawn? The other moves earlier in the game are definitely beyond a 900 though.
@@PerfectSense77 obviously if you think about it now, but in the game when a 900 has a queen and their opponent doesnt they’re probably gonna like try to checkmate them and throw
Crazy tactics all over the board. Couldn't guess this was a game between two titled players, although it's way too complicated to be in my rating range. Thank you for the recap.
Imagine if this game was displayed on Guess The Elo
dude. i love the way you animate these games and infuse them with the intensity, drama and curiosity the game in general deserves, but this game in particular deserves. thank you for helping respark my interest in a game I have played for nearly 50 years (modest 1300 elo player)
This video was amazing, I love it when chess at a high level goes completely off the rails
Great "Guess the elo" for viewers. Love your videos, keep it up!
This was crazy. Also learning from this (and others like this). Helps me look at the board differently and find moves I would never consider otherwise.
This game had so many wacky tactics in it cant wait to see them in puzzles
No one will find that move
Me, an 1100 rated player: *finds that move*
Same XD
A wild game of chess it's exactly what we wanted to see.
I love your videos - as someone from Trenton F'n New Jersey and someone who has come to chess late in life - I feel like you speak directly to me!! I really enjoy your content - keep it up please!!
Remember a Geico commercial from about 10 years ago where they had a soccer announcer calling the action on a chess game to make it exciting?
Your commentary on the game today reminded me of that.
Very entertaining and illuminating!

Incredible.
Seeing Max - a friend of mine - doin that kinda stuff… nutz
Three years of UA-cam chess content and this was the craziest thing I've seen, completely agree!more than guess the Elo games😂
"I'll see you in the next video, get outta here" 😂😂😂
Legend says he was max Deutsch who came undercover as a gm
hi Levy, you said you did a video on every opening but you didn't do a video on the alekhine defense. can you please make a video? I am waiting for it for decades!
Had so much fun watching this video. Great job. You were hilarious and it was super entertaining! Awesome game, awesome commentary!
I really love it when you say "Shred open the position!"
I usually dont write comments, but maaan...for me this was your most engaging videos of this year...the game, the tacttics, building the tension up till the end to the point where i hope it will be draw, because neither of the players deserve to lose...this wasnt even close to clickbait, awesome video
Gotham: No one will find this move
Me: (finds move) wow i did it
Gotham: goes into variations
Me: yup yup totally saw that
Me too
EXACTLY!
this was really cool to watch. excellent analysis!
I love the Reti because it is a non-commital move that lets you find out what your opponent wants to do before you commit to a particular opening. I think this is why Max played it (of course).
13:35 is so true. My head was spinning already, and then I had to rewind back here 4 times because too much was going on! I looked away for a few seconds and was completely lost.
17:30 I actually said a4, although having no idea why it's the correct move... but I'm still very proud of myself😂
OMG 😱 that was something! Thank you Levy for sharing this. The David Anton Guijarro vs Alejandro Franco Alonso from Elgoibar 2011 remains as the most insane I've ever seen though.
my favorite part of gothamchess uploads is the 1 second where he just looks dead into the camera with no expression at the start of the episode
My man Levi never disappoints with his content. Thanks for always brightening up my day!
Love u
I actually like the idea of an eval bar, it should be included more often when you're doing game recaps, just a suggestion
Most games between GMs dont have advantage swing back and forth as wildly as this, so it wouldn't be as entertaining
GOTHAM. Thank you for this. The way you digest and communicate the craziness that is high-level chess. Outstanding. Thank you!
It's not even like those regular low rated games where they blunder left and right, this is a game between very good players and very good moves were being played.
"Chess when played perfectly is always a draw"
This is perfect chess, chess has been solved gg ez.
Why not white win
Levy: No one below the level of 2300 will find this move
Me, a 900 spotted the move Queen f1: I see no god up here, OTHER THAN ME
I must be a crazy player because the A4 move was my immediate go to.
That was some interesting shadowboxing in the opening that resulted in a very complex game
"Nobody will find the move..." Me: finds the move. Lolz. To be fair I figured it had to be check and there were only two checks. Bishop to deflect the king - but I saw nothing after that. Or pawn. If en passent then the rook can now see the king to give a check. It actually seemed like the easiest move to find. :P
17:25
Me: saying a4 as a joke without thinking of why
It being right
Me: I deserve GM
I had already been looking at a4 back when we were supposed to check with the queen
As Someone Who subscribed and watch all your videos that's Definitely one of the most insane games I've ever seen
Let's go Levy!! Love from India❤️😊
1st comment
Gg
The thumbnail made me think it was a how to lose at chess vid but what I saw was so great that it made up for it.. what a game
Thanks for the eval bar. "always look for checks"
The lightings of the new setup looks really awesome
Had you made this game a "Guess the ELO" video, I wouldn't know what to expect next. What a whirlwind of a crazy game.
This gives me hope my games usually look like this
One of your best videos yet, insane game!
you're right, I MUST see this game
GREAT game. THANK YOU!! I see your vids EVERY day! One small suggestion: I really liked having the eval bar during todays game. Would you consider using it regularly? We OLD PATZERS enjoy seeing the progression of the game. Thank you for all your hard work on these.
1:40 If there was En Passant, that could be one hell of a gambit
You're a legend mate your passion is contagious
Your commentary makes this game even more worthwhile to watch! Awesome game!
I'm just glad I managed to watch this on a sunday
This is mad.. pure madness. I have to look it again.. and again.. this is crazy.
We should have an Over The Board Guess the Elo Series
Imagine if they just gave each other a chance to win, but both of them are too generous
New place is looking good. Maybe curtains for the window? Something not so nice about the Venetian blinds, but like the rest of it.
great video as usual! please get some soundproofing, echo's driving me crazy!
This was so so so amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Great content as always, Levy!
14:22 levy just turned into trollge in just 1 second.
God, this made me so anxious
Now this is some amazing content! The two pawns and knight against a queen and it’s a draw by perpetual check! Wow
wow this new episode of guess the elo is amazing
I paused and analysed the critical position for half an hour and I did come up with a4+ (always look for checks). White has a rook for a pawn, but also has three problems to solve: bishop on d8 is hanging, Ng3+ threatens the queen, Nxc1 wins an exchange. If they can consolidate, they will win.
Here's how I evaluated Black's possible responses to a4+:
Kxa4: Qd1+ forces a queen trade and the rook ends up defending the bishop on d8. White is better in this endgame.
Kc5: A bit less clear, but Qf2+ (followed by Re3 or Nd4 blocking) seemed ok. I ran out of time to fully calculate concrete lines.
Kc4: Worst response by Black because Qxf7+. Kc5 is a worse version of Kc5 a move earlier. Kd4 leads to mate.
bxa3 e.p.: Rb1+ (🎶) followed by Bb2 (block and self-pin) and Bc7 (preventing Ng3+) solves most of White's problems. Again, a bit unclear but looks better for White.
Thank you Levy I loved this match!! This was amazing
i feel like 'here's the point' is becoming levy's new catchphrase
Wonderful broadcast! Thank you sir for the instructional video.
The one move I saw w/ your lead up was Pawn to A4 check
i actually tot of the a4 sac when i saw the position, i got the first one wrong and the second one right, but i didnt think abt the second part as thorough
Still taking a moment to breath. Wow. You were correct. Thank you for sharing!
