Speaking as a person who doesn’t watch a lot of chess videos, when I saw the title and thumbnail, I thought Martin was a real person. I was like, “That’s so mean-spirited!”
If you think about it. The pawn turns into a queen and other pieces but the king. By that logic every piece is female. So chess is the battle of the harems winner takes all.
I encountered you just a few days ago and I must say you're easily the best chess channel I've seen. I dont play chess much, and all the other channels don't explain why they play the way they do. It's like they assume everyone who watches them is just as good as they are. But you explain your moves clearly, but concisely. Also your content is just super entertaining
Not going to downplay that 2100 rating, but I think it's a good channel exactly because he doesn't play without mistakes. There's a lot more to learn from that, in the same way that you're supposed to play against stronger opponents, because you need someone to punish you for your own blunders.
For added difficulty you could also change the elo based on how hard the it would be to get a checkmate. ex to get a check with the queen it would be elo 1500. But to get a check with a knight it would be 800 elo. Or vice versa.
I'm maybe dumb but I think at 13:48, there's Nc6 fork between rook and queen and the queen can't protect the rook or counterattack with check cause we block it and win a tempo on it.
10:27 I mean, i saw that the knight was defended but I would have made the same play. I play pretty aggressively, though, so it's probably just because I parsed it as "either he takes my piece, we trade, or this turn is boring."
You know the funny thing about the thumbnail? You can play Nxh3 and all the mate-in-1's are gone, meaning that it's technically possible that you could luck out and beat martin on that board. It's very unlikely that you will, but it's entirely possible.
Here's a video idea. Run two games simultaneously where you challenge the magnus bot in the first game and in the other one another very high level bot. Magnus should be white and you should black and in the other game you should be white and the other high level bot should be black. Now replicate what magnus does in the first game exactly identical in the other game, and replicate the response of the high level bot of the second game exactly identical to your first game. So in a way, we will get to see two very high level bots taking on each other. It will be interesting to see how high level players do.
Play a game of chess with whatever opponent you like, but you can only use the pieces that go up, down, left, right, which means no queen, bishop, or knight, only pawns and rooks
Try to get these 3 checkmates as a challenge; Discovery Checkmate Promotion Checkmate En Passant/Castling Checkmate?!!? You can do this vs bots, or against real people
5:20, I am pretty new to chess so I may be wrong, but if you played Bishop to f7, would that not have been checkmate? Your Knight is Covering the bishop so if the king captures, the knight captures the king, and no other Piece could capture the Bishop in that spot, You made the game go on for longer, when you could have gotten checkmate in 1 with that situation? Maybe I am just stupid and not seeing something, but.
Hey! No worries at all, after Bxf7+ the king is forced to move to d7, so it’s not checkmate. After that, I could either repeat moves with Be6+ or find another plan. Thanks for the comment :)
got one over you. i beat martin when he has 8 queens. you have to confuse him with queenside pawns after Nf3 each of those pawns needs to get like 2 queens and or promote to a knight or something right from the get go.
Okay, I'm 5 minutes into this video and Martin succesfully wrecked his queens to get a bishop and a queen from you, which isn't the worst I guess, but... maybe help Martin a bit and put the row of pawns in front of the extra queens to protect Martin from saccing all of his extra queens right off the bat 🤣 What am I saying? Nothing helps Martin 🤣
I only wish you did a bit more post-game analysis. At least review your mistakes and blunders. Also that you link your games in the description, if a viewer wants to do it themself.
with 18 queensa ayine shojld b able to bet you they can sacrtice until all you have nor peceis eft then user th two queens left you mate you. Anyone who can't win with 18 queens shouldn't play chess

Speaking as a person who doesn’t watch a lot of chess videos, when I saw the title and thumbnail, I thought Martin was a real person. I was like, “That’s so mean-spirited!”
Hahaha Martín is our MVP around here
Give Martin extra knights until he beats you
Or pawns lol💀
@@ILuvFrogs-y1hor Kings lol
He would need more knights than the size of the board to beat him
@@superyoshiparker8979 no probably not I don’t think so
@@superyoshiparker8979 knights on every empty space is already enough for instant checkmate
It's like trying to make a kid fare better at paintball by giving him real guns, but he just keeps missing until you give him grenades.
"Give martin a king until you can't checkmate him"
more kings means more opportunities to checkmate
also sadly you cant load positions with more kings.
@@mauer1I don’t think so. I believe the idea is as long as you have a king not mated you’re good.
So this is why Martin has so many kids...
Laughed out loud at this
If you think about it. The pawn turns into a queen and other pieces but the king. By that logic every piece is female. So chess is the battle of the harems winner takes all.
@@GrumpyIanCouldn’t it be that the pawns are female, the starting bishops rooks and knights are, e.g. one is male and the other female?
@@GrumpyIanNah Rook and Knight vibe is masculine, bishops maybe
@@InfernalScream What a 14th century thing to say
Martin gets more and more stupid as the difference in material rises
Now this is genius! Maybe you can now play Martin but take one of your pieces off the board everytime you win until Martin wins lol
Wait that’s a great idea! Future video for sure
@iwantcheckmate maybe since Martin is so easy start off with no rook or something ya know so it doesn't drag out too much

idea: give martin no king and see what he does
They won’t play haha
@@iwantcheckmate or he'll treat the queen like the king
If I didn’t have a king, my main goal would be to get my pawn to the end of the board to see if I could promote to a king.
if you want a somewhat difficult challenge then try getting a checkmate with every piece
This is SO good. Thanks for the idea
Good idea
add en passant checkmate or your family will be in eternal suffering
@@iwantcheckmate agreed
For added difficulty you could also change the elo based on how hard the it would be to get a checkmate. ex to get a check with the queen it would be elo 1500. But to get a check with a knight it would be 800 elo. Or vice versa.
this is a somewhat good idea in my head, but remove one of your pieces every game until martin beats you
i've seen so many people do this but you're the only person who i can stand to watch-
Glad you enjoyed :)
Rare footage of Martin winning a game of chess against a skilled person
nice video my guy, been watching your vids lately, keep it up
Thank you!
how many pieces can you remove before martin beats you
How many pawns do you need to beat Sinta
I like this!
13:18 WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE EN PASSANT IT IS A WAY OF LIFE IN CHESS
google en passant
@@XavierCat holy hell
@minkazistherealone1828 New response just dropped
6:40 You could've taken the rook... 😔
I feel like you had it in you, give +7 queens a rematch!
That’s a great idea!
I'm not into chess (I only know the rules) but this popped up in my recommended and it was a funny experiment, good watch, left a like
Thank you!
The timing on this is being released is INSANE. I did this on my stream last night 🤣
I'm maybe dumb but I think at 13:48, there's Nc6 fork between rook and queen and the queen can't protect the rook or counterattack with check cause we block it and win a tempo on it.
hey bro, just wanted to say that i only recently started watching you but i really like your videos. keep up the good work
Thank you for watching :)
Give Martin more pawns until he checkmates you
RELEASE THE HORDE!!!
You should've given him 8 queens in the beginning so that you could name the video "Removing 1 Piece Until I BEAT Martin"
10:27 I mean, i saw that the knight was defended but I would have made the same play. I play pretty aggressively, though, so it's probably just because I parsed it as "either he takes my piece, we trade, or this turn is boring."
Just this but how many queens does it take martin to beat stockfish
You know the funny thing about the thumbnail? You can play Nxh3 and all the mate-in-1's are gone, meaning that it's technically possible that you could luck out and beat martin on that board. It's very unlikely that you will, but it's entirely possible.
LOL Technically he could still sacrifice on f2 multiple times for mate, but it’s a good point!
@@iwantcheckmate That's very likely, but isn't mate-in-1, so he might miss it (heavy emphasis on might).
I really love these video ideas! maybe you could try to checkmate martin or just anybody with every piece.
Definitely in a future video, thanks for the idea!
Love these vids ❤ Keep it up!
Thank you, will do :)
Hey man you’re pretty awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, will do :D
Video idea: try getting the rarest or hardest chess achievements!
I like this!
@@iwantcheckmateyou should make that into a series trying to get every achievement
Give martin extra bishops until you beat him and start with 3 extra bishops at the starting.
Here's a video idea. Run two games simultaneously where you challenge the magnus bot in the first game and in the other one another very high level bot. Magnus should be white and you should black and in the other game you should be white and the other high level bot should be black. Now replicate what magnus does in the first game exactly identical in the other game, and replicate the response of the high level bot of the second game exactly identical to your first game. So in a way, we will get to see two very high level bots taking on each other. It will be interesting to see how high level players do.
Thats an interesting idea!
Video idea: How much time to defeat stockfish?
Play a game of chess with whatever opponent you like, but you can only use the pieces that go up, down, left, right, which means no queen, bishop, or knight, only pawns and rooks
Ooh interesting idea
18:58 was a mouse slip.
Try to get these 3 checkmates as a challenge;
Discovery Checkmate
Promotion Checkmate
En Passant/Castling Checkmate?!!?
You can do this vs bots, or against real people
Nice! Definitely future videos
Awesome videos man!!!
Thank you!! :D
Wow you hearted my comment extremely fast
Video idea: can you beat Martin only by pre moving
I like this!

Out of curiosity, how do you make those custom board layouts?
You should try beat a bot but give them 10-20 of a certain piece, so for example replacing all the pieces (except king)with like 20 bishops
I like this! Definitely a future video ideas
Can you please tell me how I can make custom positions like this?
Visit the analysis board, set custom position, play against bot
It keeps saying invalid position for me though
How do you make custom games like these?
W video thank you for using this idea man
Impressive as always!
Thank you!
10:48 does bishop takes knight also work as mate in 2?
Yes! Good removing the guard tactic
Martin huh I remember letting my mom play Martin for fun ( she has no chess experience) and she treid taking with a pawn by moving forward
You should do a 'I mated all beginner bots with pawns'
This is a great idea
ive got a video idea, removing 1 piece from stockfish every game until I win
That last game felt so powerless
It was very overwhelming
how long would you last if the pawns were behind the pieces and every time martin looses he gets a new knight in any square of the board?
Probably longer but this is a great video idea!
Uhh yes another video let's go!
Hey don't be so hard on yourself, it didn't only take him 7 queens, it took him 7 EXTRA queens
Haha true :)
Great video, which software are you playing with?
Thanks! I’m doing this through chess.com
got one over you.
i beat martin when he has 8 queens.
you have to confuse him with queenside pawns after Nf3
each of those pawns needs to get like 2 queens and or promote to a knight or something right from the get go.
Now that sounds rough. Congratulations though! Interesting strategy
bro really wants to be checkmated
Martin kind of looks like Chris Meloni from SVU when he had hair
developing the king is wild
Martin’s Opening Principles
You should remove one of your pieces everytime Martin loses
Now try to win against Martin's 7 queens
If you only use queens how many queens does it take for you to beat Martin?
I have a cool video idea spin the wheel but instead of the normal options it best stockfish move worst stockfish move and anymove
NICE IDEA
Give him extra kings till u lose
how many queens it iwll take to beat iwantcheckmate
I swear this guy was at 1000 just a second ago, now he’s at 2000!?
Haha I had a new account on chess.com that I was going to do a rating climb with, but decided to just play normally.
12:10 it's more important to get queens off the board than keep minor pieces - Your own queen is a minor piece?
Give Martin extra kings
What about removing a piece from your side until Marvin wins?
Good idea!
2:39 Martin resings
Okay, I'm 5 minutes into this video and Martin succesfully wrecked his queens to get a bishop and a queen from you, which isn't the worst I guess, but... maybe help Martin a bit and put the row of pawns in front of the extra queens to protect Martin from saccing all of his extra queens right off the bat 🤣
What am I saying? Nothing helps Martin 🤣
LOL No that’s actually a great point. Make him lose some pawns before losing all the queens!!
Your too good, play until you lose!
He wouldn’t have won if you had pushed f2 pawn instead of e2
4:58 i think knight e5 is interesting move for me😅
no wonder Martin's wife doesn't play with him and is a gm
try defeating martin with only pawns
Yay you did my idea thanks not exactly but similar
Proof on the video how many queens does it take to beat ding liren.
Thank you for the idea!
Great content
develop your king to the center it's your strongest piece 19:07
Martin’s #1 principle
Give Martin extra Martins until they beat you
Now that’s a lot of Martins
Take away pons from stockfish until you win
yay go Martin
They made martin stronger
Heeeeeeeees baaaaaaaack
idk why but u missed rook ? 6:43
Try promoting at least 6 or 7 pawns to any bot that should be difficult
I like this idea haha
I WANT CHECKMATE
HEY ME TOO
I only wish you did a bit more post-game analysis. At least review your mistakes and blunders. Also that you link your games in the description, if a viewer wants to do it themself.
SACRFICE THE QUEEN
is this gothamchess v2??
I am his long lost son
Double en passant was possible 14:24
HEY i don't believe you can beat him without any extra queens, do a match without 🤣😂
Hahahaha 😅
with 18 queensa ayine shojld b able to bet you they can sacrtice until all you have nor peceis eft then user th two queens left you mate you. Anyone who can't win with 18 queens shouldn't play chess
Kings next lol
Who is Martin? A person or an AI?
A bot created to play at a certain level :)
brick
I subbed to you nice video hope you make it big brother
Thanks man, I appreciate that
Whos martin
A chess.com bot who plays very poorly
