Props to Lud for actually being able to see why the moves were good and being able to play on his own a bit. If I played on my own I'd blunder every move lol.
I tuned into ludwig's stream during the match with the 1600 rated player, and I was absolutely baffled by ludwig's ability to play chess. He played the endgame so well and defended everything perfectly to push his pawn. I cant believe I fell for it.
Can't believe it because statically it's impossible. You can look at odds of one player beating another by using elo. After about a 500 point difference, the lower player has no chance of winning. Sure there are good days and bad days for players. Other than that there is no luck. Here is a 700 point difference...if lower player loses you can bet the farm there was cheating.
right? I really appreciate someone who can work under a lot of pressure and remain calm. Ludwig's acting skills with Levi's cool, cold and collected personality turns out to be a very solid combination. If Levi can keep keep that mindset in his tournaments, works really hard for it too, I'm sure he can reach the GM title.
fr I was pleasantly surprised he was winning against stanz and it was all in vain 🥲 at least it was satisfying watching him wipe the floor with the 1600+ rated chatter
Gotham alternating between low-key roasting and annihilating them throughout was classic. Good on Stanz for being a good sport and Lud for bringing Gotham on knowing this would happen. Great content all around.
@@douwehuysmans5959 And then it turns out that Hikaru's moves were made by Magnus Carlsen. Then the chess drama would give people headaches. Magnus: "You cheated." Hans: "No- well... yes, i did, but you also cheated so..."

You should do this again but troll Levy by having Stanz (or whoever you play) secretly have an expert too and neither tells their expert about the other.

I think the pro's would catch on in the first few moves, but maybe ludwig/stanz could tell both of them to fiegn being amateur until a couple of turns pass
@@hermaeusmora424 yet somehow it is the complete opposite when it comes to a bad move, hard to understand why it's bad after it's made and so easy to make it lol...the eval bar has me questioning reality sometimes, spend more time trying to figure out what just happened rather than what's about to happen 🤣
It's so funny having watched through all of Stanz's video first and seeing him tell off chat for backseating just to discover this is what lud was up to
I love seeing and hearing the Gotham Chess commentary and live review of the game, especially with the mini lessons on why the position is good or bad.
I watched these games first on Stanz's channel and kept scoffing at their moves. "This man was rated 1200??" But then Lud would suddenly step on the gas and start making better moves than even I saw. I really started grappling with my own hubris: who am I to act better than these men? These brave chess warriors? Then I watched this and I'll tell you. I've never felt more vilified in my life
I been watching Ludwig’s chess in chat for the last few days thinking “ I’m so proud of him, he’s actually been improving “. Gotttt damnit I have been bamboozled 😅
Definitely one of the best chess content creators, but I think anyone that has seen even a bit of chess physically cringed when hearing that lmao i was expecting hikaru
i watched the vod for this stream and felt good being able to have thought of some of the same moves lud made. now knowing it was gotham brain behind it i feel great.
I learned so much from 2 lud streams and this video alone. I knew the movement but know I understand the layers that form can be predicted and learned. The mini battles that take place moves ahead I never saw before as a kid.
Besides seeing Lud win for once, I really enjoyed Levy explaining what’s going on Because I have absolutely no clue when it comes to chess Hugeee content Lud 💪🏻 much love from Germany 🇩🇪
GGs. Remember: cheating is bad. Unless it’s against your friends. 😄
Or against enemies
You were right - didn't suspect a thing during the steam...
You’re telling me a 1600 rated player threw the game on move 6 (or whenever that pawn sac happened ig)

okay here's an idea prank levy by pretending he's pranking someone else, but have Hikaru make your moves.
