Levy in most videos: "You guys are weird"
Levy today: "I WANT TO SEE SOME OILED UP KING WRESTLING LETS GOOOOO"
If he’d’ve streamed this he’d’ve been roasted so hard by chat lmfao

"And he sacrifices... THE KING!!"
And the game
and his reputation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruh
And here is the legend time 18:42
Too easy to place
“Vidit dosent want the pawn to have friends, it can only stay at home and study for tests” got me😅
The accurate representation of an Indian parent
Vidit is indian too so thies really strikes home (as a fwllow indian)@@Temerityofficial21201
same
everyone there is like “this is a historical moment, we shall all remember!”
Hikaru: “bro wtf”
I love it when the kings touch truly one of the moments of chess.
I love it when they touch too 😏😏😏
Hehe

You are the whole reason that my entire high school is now starting to play chess. Thank you levy!
My entire friends group play chess very regularly but only me and 1 other friend watches levy others started playing by watching us
Same.
thats amazing man. Make good connections, friends, and get better at chess!
This exact thing is happening in my school too.
It's so good to hear that entire high schools get into chess now.
18:40 bro was so focused yet the second he saw the king move he got filled with confusion
That pawn on d4 was an isolated pawn weakness, but we didn’t realize it wasn’t just a physical weakness… As soon as Hikaru took the pawn, Vidit was so overcome with sadness that he threw his king right on Hikaru’s sword! Emotional weaknesses cannot be underestimated.
Back when I was a kid, my chess teacher explained us that if you meet a king you should bow. However, if two kings meet and both bow, they will headbutt eachother. Thus, they can never be next to each other.
Kneel before kings.
FWIW there is a thing called "flying general" in Xiang Qi (chinese chess). Google is your friend 😃
Thats....deep
@@johndododoe1411 learn before typing. More than one monarchy existed
@@ruaridhusher4373 True. Kneel after kings.
And he sacrifices... THE KING 💪💪
I can totally hear Levy's voice in this statement. Lol
@@vanclearwater6944 agree lol
Imagine if this was actually in the video😂😂😂
@@rushilnotpro should've been man. It'll be hilarious. Lol
the best chess move ever
Vidit:*is about to lose on time*
also Vidit:i am gonna do what's called a touching move *makes illegal move*
Levi constantly telling me to stop wondering when the kings will finally touch while I'm just watching a game of chess is something else.
7:57 "It perished before it could make something of itself"
I feel personally attacked
Imagine if Hikaru instead of being shocked, just takes his king like nothing happened
Lol, just take the king, and offer a handshake.
Then he will lose
@@levren-rm3cw why? does responding to an illegal move with another illegal move make you lose?
@@asdfghyter yes
@@asdfghyter yes
Watching your videos after a long day of work brings me so much joy and the lessons I learn from your hilarious reactions to horrible moves are so great😂😂thank you levy
I love how he kept talking about how everyone was waiting for the kings to touch, while I literally forgot the reason I originally clicked on the video 😂
17:18 " I want to see some oiled up king wrestling let's go"
I can't help but agree
You posted this 1 minute after the video was released, how on earth are you on minute 17 😂

Hikaru: "Give it up, I have the high ground."
Vidit: "You underestimate my power!"
*"so here's king to e3, sacrificing king, a classic move"*
love frotting, gotta be one of my favorite chess moves
Levy should be awarded a Grandmaster title for his outstanding ability to somehow move from chess to a small cinema+healthcare+whoknowwhatelse rant and back in just a few moments.
no

In the Japanese variant of chess, called Shogi, capturing the king is an option.
On a separate note, I had a case in a tournament where I had been in check for about 3 or 4 moves and neither of us realised it.
What did the referee say?
@@Alexander-mh5ov The referee never got involved. Once the mistake was identified, I got out of check and we played on.
@@reubenmanzo2054did you win?
@@Alexander-mh5ov I don't remember. All I really remember about the game was that moment. I was thinking about my move when I noticed something and asked other player "how long has that bishop been there?", he said "about 3 or 4 moves, why?", "I'm in check." Since it would've been too difficult to try to backtrack the moves, we decided to play on, so I addressed the check.
4:30 Some of the ways levy makes fun of things really crack me up 😂
This man really made a 20 minute chess video about one of the oldest chess memes. Love it.
"they take the clock and bash your head in with it" mane i don't wanna go to chess tournaments anymore💀💀
Wow, Levy went from Kings touching to the movies to healthcare to student loans faster than I ever thought was possible 😅
That move is called the King sacrifice.
12:28 - Levi starts complaining about US economy
13:06 - Levi finishes complaining about US economy
How much time?!
@@headr0x 38 seconds I think
Beautiful
he actually complained a little more about heathcare right after that
That’s all the time he took? People make entire careers doing thst
Reminds me of a story Ben Finegold told when he was a kids tournament arbiter. He was asked to look at these kids' game, and after he asked "Where are your kings?", the kids replied: "Oh, we exchanged them long ago!"
Update: Ben's friend was the director, Ben just retold the story. (link below)

@@elpenguinoofmexico1388 It's 2023. If you're not offended by SOMETHING, you're not living life to the fullest.
This made me laugh hard when I first saw this some months ago. Hikaru's reaction (flabbergasted) was priceless!
Is the "If you haven't filled your daily offended at something quota" for me😂😂😂😂
1:21 Thanks for asking this Levy! I’m currently watching this in the year of 1916, in the middle of the trenches, waiting for my commanding officer’s whistle to send us over into no man’s land!
i hope you get to kiss some guys before you die
💀
Gl make sure you got ur gas mask
oof... me who's chilling in nz
A yes im here in Sweden year 1982
Bro sacked his king and thought we wouldn't notice
He called draughts, droughts. Really got me.
One of the best things about Levy's commentary is that he always acknowledges certain moves/lines are better for weaker players and others only really apply when you are strong enough to fully understand the position.
Yea
AND HE SACRIFICED... THE KIIIIIIIIIING!!!!
16:52 ayo levy what are you saying
🤨📸
it was damn funny when u got excited or maybe in a sarcastic way as the kings moved
2 kings touched when Hikaru and Vidit shook hands.
He definitely knew what he was doing when he wrote that title
Wow
💀
I mean the thumbnail gives it away too😂. He definitely knew what he was doing lol
Of course!
@YeaMan (bot)
Checking with your king should be legal as a way of saying “I resign. Take my king.”
It’s 2050 and your channel is now GothamCheckers
Dude that rant about the movies had me 😂.
Started playing chess thanks to you 3 years ago. Just won the chess team state title and am competing at nationals with my team this weekend. Thank you levy
Just reached 1000 elo yesterday. I used to play at 780, 800 mark. I’ve beaten 1500 chess bot as well. So hopefully, could reach that with my current knowledge and understanding. Tenks Levy ❤

Congrats!
Congrats!
And now I'm married with 3 kids for 25 years
It's now the year 2087,
The jongs persist, a means to an end,
No one speaks of Gotham's descent,
As his stare holds us in suspense.
His gaze, a race we cannot win,
Quickly slipping away in the end,
Do you move as you should or as you feel?
This is chess, this is Gotham, these are kings with backs of steel.
WOW
Ayo
I'll wait until 2087 and i will see this again
Freddy is looking for your location
That's pretty good. Nice.
That movie cinema rant felt personal lol
Gotham chess going off on the health care system and student loans: literally me.
I swear levy makes chess so fun and interesting 😭 damn bro
@YeaMan Gotham told me that you should shut up
@YeaMan I hope your pillows are warm tonight
@YeaMan I'll burn your house to the ground.

hikaru's reaction along with the mate in 49 is just so good
The orange shirt goes so well with the lavalamp in the backround
I’m about to start using “touched their kings at the center of the board” as a euphemism.
11:51 I have never related to a pawn this much in my life
Capturing kings is how I first taught my kids to play. When I tried explaining check, it was just frustrating telling them that a move they wanted to make, that seemed to make sense, was illegal. So instead we just played a few games where they could play that move and lose. Then checks made a lot more sense to them.
Beyond beginner level, an essential aspect of the game's rules is that a player who isn't in check can never be obligated to move into check, and someone who would force an opponent to move into check does not get credit for a win.
Bros martin
Out of all due respect, kings captured is a little bit violent.
@@flatfingertuning727 If you wanted to keep allowing this rule beyond beginner play, you could make it so the stalemated player must see that and claim a draw, rather than it being automatic.
@@headr0x The historical explanation I've read for why you don't actually capture the king is that over the centuries that chess was developed, actually depicting a king being killed would have been treason.
And he sacrifices... THE KING BRILLIANT MOVE
When a Grandmaster breaks a rule and it becomes legendary
I loved seeing the actual replay of this moment IRL, it would be great to see more moments during the actual games!! Even just the winning moments or something, it's fun seeing the real people after your recaps.
many are dead, some even over a century, without footage
@@pewoxide press F to pay respects
also, I want reenactments then
Only at GothamChess will we get a 50 second rant about movie theaters during a chess video
"You cant lose from check in chess if your king already died"
-Vidit Probably
Somehow Gotham can go from chess to a casual rant about Health Care and Student Loans lol
The king sacrifice video is actually the reason I started playing chess, so thanks for covering it. I forgot that there was a whole game played before that moment
4:32 "this is called minority attack" 💀
In my country they call it a hate crime.
The only thing the pawn can do is sit at home and study for tests . Lol
"bishop D5 keeping the tension" *proceeds to move bishop to e2*
19:53 Bro my whole family who wasn't even watching the video just died when Gotham said this
How can someone feel this many emotions playing a board game. This is so fun . Good going levy
levy i love you you’re the reason i got back into chess
Bro haaaaates the movies and ambulances 🤣
I'm watching from my parents home in germany, Baden-Württemberg. Thank you for asking levy, i hope you continue your chess journey and congrats on being the best chess youtuber, you definetly deserve it!

17:06 "the foreplay is just ridiculous" Levy def knows what he's saying 💀
1:15 im watching from New Zealand Levy, love the vids, and love the meme that spawned from this game! A comment for the algorithm.

Thanks!
NAH THATS HOW ME AND BY BROTHER USED TO PLAY like couple years ago it was amazing
I witnessed this moment in person, it was quite gruesome when they bashed vidit in the head with the clock
13:17 - awesome structure by Vidit. Every single piece on dark squares, except the light bishop
You seem extra chill today Levi, it's actually really fun. Great commentary as always, and you keep getting better!
Vidit be like "never let know your next move" on next level
The stare today. He definitely stared into my soul lol
Man, I love when I get to watch Leon Trotsky teach me about chess!
and he sacrifices. THE KING
this takes "he sacrificed THE KIIIIING" to the next level

your videos made me fall in love with this game again. played 1400 games online and a couple hundret over the board in the last 7 months.
thanks for the entertainment and all the chess knowlegde mate
And he sacrifices “THE KING”
ikr I’m so original 🤣
I'm always amazed at Levy's ability to make politically charged jokes without taking a political stance or making a political statement. It's great.
My highest is 2041 and I still watch your videos Levy, it’s just fun to watch 😂
Vidit was just like "Simple, I will check the king with my king... wait..."
Actually I'm pretty sure if you miss a check your opponent is allowed to declare a win
I wanted to see Hikaru's sincere reaction. He's such an innocent that his reaction has to be immediate and sincere of childlike disbelief :)
This was the first video of chess that I watched, It was beautiful.
I agree with what you said in the beginning. No checkmate, just capture the king makes more sense and relies more on someone's ability to see what's going on. Would be especially useful in low-rated games.
2023 and i’m sitting in me chem class
"The two great guys touched their kings" sounds like a bro-love story.
