It is comforting to know that even Magnus was a 100 Elo at one time. Of course this period only lasted about 38 seconds into his first game at the age of 3.
Best thing about chess, being a beginner means you have a higher chance of discovering something new since you're willing to make any move, even if that move loses. Mastering the game is about refining those discoveries and using them to your advantage. Its important to keep that sense of wonder and excitement as you play, otherwise chess becomes "I am good at the game, i just want to win" and you lose out on opportunities to enjoy yourself. Sometimes all it takes is a little enthusiasm and games like these happen. Never give up! The D(raw) is mightier than the W(in).
i waited, waited for someone to mention this [now dont slap i know hes getting into character for us, concentrating too much on the countdown, he respects us and his career that much]

Thats how i feel when i see beginner League of Legends players use flash to get back to lane Literally using a spell that takes 5 minutes to recharge to save 0.7 seconds time to get back to lane quickly
I think it would be amazing if no one knew how to play chess properly and the best chess players in the world had an ELO of under 1000. Imagine if world championship games were chaotic back and forth matches with both players constantly blundering pieces
What I love about these analysis games is not only just about learning chess as a 600 elo player.. but also mannnn Levy's commentry is really raising the bar here
That was hilarious. But really King rook end game is very difficult for beginners to logically figure out especially during a timed match, a draw was pretty much inevitable.
I have nightmares of this ending from when I was in a chess tournament at 11 and put in this situation and I just couldn’t figure out how to checkmate 😭 and I ended up resigning under the stress
Before, I didn't know it was possible to do checkmate with a single piece (rook) other than king left (only because I've never in the position to do so), but when I was given a rook and a king vs a king left, I did it very easily, I mean, I'm not flexing, and you don't even need any training or tricks to do it lol, it's just natural...

I'm at 1100 and that's still a problem with some opponents, they just do the craziest things and I am never sure if it's a blunder or a really smart move and I'm just too dumb to see 😂
it’s easy just create an easily defensible position and wait for the opposing player to hang / blunder all their pieces, no need to take the offensive.
Oh my god... This looks like a so-called "fake game" this is drunk me and my friend playing OTB bullet, knocking pieces off, and not even remembering where they were... Fascinating!
Thank You Levy for this hilarious video and for having this amazing UA-cam channel! Sadly I think my chess phase is over, but thanks to you it has lasted so much longer than it would’ve have had without you. (2 years to be precise) It has been a blast! Chess, the community, this channel and guess the elo will always have a golden place in my heart and I will remember all the good times I had with all of you. Thank you for making this chapter of my life a little better Adiós my friends, maybe we will see each other again o7
I dont think I'm great at chess, but I am not terrible. Watching other stuff makes me feel so low, but watching this video, makes me feel like a genius.
Levy, thanks to you, I always beat Nelson with no Blunders, Mistakes or Innacuracies. That just proves your content is the best chess content on youtube.
I am still a chess noob and it’s so frustrating watching someone play so easily against ppl my elo but then I play them and it feels as if I’m playing someone who has lots of experience
I'd like to think I'm sliiightly better than Sykkuno, but I learn so much from every video you make. Thank you for explaining things like I'm five (or ten?) years old, it actually helps so much!!
There is no doubt in my mind that Sykkuno could be great at chess and part of me thinks he's been trolling his score to keep it at exactly 100. The three things that will stop Sykkuno from being great at chess are: 1. He prefers to troll over winning, especially against his friends. 2. He prefers to play games with his friends and they'll certainly move on from chess. 3. He'll make a lot more money doing the two things above than spending the time it would take to become a great chess player.
My ELO is about 600 right now. I was looking the other day at one of my favorite games I've played, in which I spent about half the midgame using just one knight to clear out my opponent's pieces through check forks. Focusing that much on one piece is of course not wise, but it worked. Primarily because my opponent passed several opportunities to capture it, only taking it with the king after being worn down to a few pawns.
I mean as a complete beginner the 3 to 4 square rule states that anything past 3 to 4 squares has a 90%chance of gaining stealth effect so its like an luck based rpg
Details Levy skipped: Both players started with 3 min on the clock, with I think 3 second increment, and ended with over 7 min. Second detail: "When chess is played perfectly, it's a draw" was a donation message at the moment of the draw.
@11:05 They actually had the eval bar on their screens while they played. Would be great to see GothamChess teach either Sykkuno or DisguisedToast how to play better though. Time for another Pogchamps, maybe? 🤔
It'll probably be very boring as they will be trying their hardest to sac their pieces but the opponent won't take them, then they'll probably get stuck and draw by repetition somewhere

- Diagonals are hard
- How do I checkmate without two queens
- Bongcloud is a winning opener.
Plus
- Rook can only move 2 squares

When I was beginning chess, I got 4 to 6 queens due to pawn promotions and lost.
This was against Martin.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sykkuno could be great at chess and part of me thinks he's been trolling his score to keep it at exactly 100. The three things that will stop Sykkuno from being great at chess are:
1. He prefers to troll over winning, especially against his friends.
2. He prefers to play games with his friends and they'll certainly move on from chess.
3. He'll make a lot more money doing the two things above than spending the time it would take to become a great chess player.
