I love the romance between the two queens, staring each other down from across the battlefield, unwilling to kill each other despite it being strategically optimal
I also thought Ng5 is just giving your opponent leg room. Since your supposed to always keep an eye for the center in the early game but its also a very good mathematical strategical advantage. And it literally gives the pawn on h6 opportunities to simply move for the extra tempo. Would I do that. Nah I would continue to just methodically put pressure on the opponent via check. Because the only center the knight is giving is the e4 square and some sub center squares which are practically making the piece useless.
Two grandmasters playing a game at a level so incredibly high that there is absolutely no way for us normies to even begin to be able to deduce the skills and techniques at display here. Truly a match for the ages.
The title truly sent shivers through my spine. It was clearly thought through and the precise number of A’s and H’s was truly breathtaking. The exclamation marks send lightning bolts through my heart at how elegantly crafted they were. Truly a godly 10/10 Edit: Levi, stop changing the title every 3 minutes, I can’t update this comment anymore
The explanation of 90% of these moves is very simple: The players just don't analyse the whole position. Most 500 players look for a move they think is okay, and just play that move without considering other options. When checking if a move is "okay", they often just look to see if their opponent can capture the piece they moved. If they didn't see a good move or a threat the first time, they won't even look for it on subsequent moves until something brings their attention back to that idea. To be fair, analysing all the available moves is pretty difficult and even much higher rated players will often miss key ideas for the same reason. It's just most common at this lower ELO. Also I suspect that black genuinely thought the white pawn on h4 guarded the knight on g3 (as if it moved like a black pawn). Probably just forgot that white has the opposite perspective so their pawns guard the other way.
A thing I always do is look at every piece and it's position and what every move for thst piece achieves. Even in a logical takes takes situation, I still study everything connected to thst move in case I miss a better move or maby even blunder getting Checkmated. For me. Its more about controlling my impulse, and in the case of online chess, keeping my hand of my mouse and just simply looking. Even with this I will continue to have nightmares of this game.
I honestly like his unedited style; makes it so it's purely his delivery and the game itself that carries the video, and it also gives his videos a kinda more comfy vibe
This felt like they werent even playing each other, like the moves were completely unrelated, as if a parallel universe opened up and the played different games somehow
That rook move for no reason whatsoever was hilarious 😂😂😂 it definitely was to protect the pawn cause he didn't even see that his knight already protects it!
I'm not even joking, but I couldn't finish this video last weekend because I almost died of laughing. I barely made but what an amazing match was this!
BRO the "if you were born yesterday..." comment made me CACKLE out loud. The ridiculous on-the-fly joke of talking to a 1-day old AND them somehow understanding just SENT me. Props Gotham.
I got into chess as an 800 after pogchamps 3 was announced. 2.5 years of watching your content later, I finally reached 1800 blitz today. Thank you for all the work you do and everything you put out, entertaining and educational. We love you Levy ❤
91 accuracy isn’t hard at that level if you just play normally. Usually the opponent plays so bad that you automatically get a better score by taking advantage of their obvious blunders.
21:44 i will tell u what happened in this moment: White tought "omg im a genius if a sacrifice my knight i will win a queen" Black saw that, and immediately went "ok but if I COUNTERSACRIFICE i will win MORE THINGS "
It is funny to see Gotham being absolutely in disbelief when reviewing these kinds of games. It really makes my day. Thanks mate for such amazing and energetic content!
Aside from everything else, I love how White tries to avoid getting hit with a Dove Tail Mate by accidentally stepping into a Swallow's Tail Mate instead! 🤣 Out of one frying pan and into another frying pan!
OMFG 20:11 I HAD TOO MUCH FAITH. Rd4 was my first guess but I instead thought theyd move their castled rook and do Rg8 or just A6. Absolutely bonkers game I love it.
The thing that baffles me is that chess is one of the most widely known and played game despite being 1500 years old. Like, even with all the modern technology chess has stood the test of time and that fact alone makes it a work of art, let alone it's complexity and strategy
10:45 I think the purpose behind c4 in my respective 700 elo brain is to put it out then develop the knight to c3. Then white will play moves like b3 and d4...d5 to take center and create pawn structure.

Never had laughed so hard on any game, absolute brilliance of blunders
21:05 that one I can explain. He thought his bishop was unguarded so he moved it up so it was 'protected' by the queen.
yeah, it was the sensible move for a 500 mind.
….but it’s still attacked by something that’s directly on the next diagonal xDDD

The ROOOOOOK!
I think that he wanted to move his knight but he saw that white’s knight would take the pawn if his knight moved.
Brilliant, just brilliant
