It's a game between 800s but it's a 30 rated game
The funniest thing is Levy doesn't know that half of us play games like this every day
You're absolutely right
Played a game this morning while i was still waking up and just completely missed my opponent's blundered queen lol
Also played one the other day where I misclicked and blundered my queen, only for the opponent to not take it and then blunder mate in 1.
I lost a game with two queens vs a rook and few pawns :)
Exactly 🤣
As a 1000, my games make 20% more sense.
Generally.
Someone plays literally any opening.

The most surprising move in this is the checkmate. It is amazing that he could find that checkmate after overlooking the hanging queen and rook.
Speaking from experience, the more likely reaction to that move was probably "Wait, that was checkmate? Nice!". He probably saw the knight was protected and that the knight would protect the queen and went for it to keep the checks coming.
I 100% confirm he didn't do it on purpose
At 8:48 he could’ve traded pawn promotion into mate with rook, I saw this right away and wondered why levy didn’t t call it out
@@skelly_snipez1291 Knight blocks, protected by queen. Also White’s not obligated to take, he can just play a3 and trade on his terms.
I can assure you he was caught off guard when it told him checkmate. He was just moving pieces around lol
"white finds a mate" like he didnt play just random moves and was as surprised as black when "you win" screen jumped at him
happens with me sometimes
@@011010a Yep, sometime I just trying to run my pieces and checkmate them
Then you review the game and see that 25 out of 35 moves were blunders, because there was a mate hanging.
I'm 2000 and it has happened to me numerous times. You recognize a mating patern, think I'll go check check check mate, not realizing opponent king has actually no escape from move 1
I felt that lol, just wanted to give a check and

@@IAmHukumka I would straight-up watch a played-straight chess shonen.
@@veigarmain545 Exactly. They became clichés for a reason!
"And white finds the queen e7..."
No, he just blundered with right move.
I bet good money on Kevin surprising himself with Qe7 being mate.
There is absolutely, positively no doubt that this is exactly what happened.
I love how the outcome of this match is unpredictable until the very last move
Idk, I half expected Qc6+ lol
Somehow i recognised it from when it was zoomed in
thats how 800's are you can't predict xD
It's like an episode of the twilight zone

Whenever you see “playing chess” used in media as a shorthand for “smart guy,” this is the game the writers are playing.
yep
These players are really smart. It takes a certain level of genius to write poetry this moving, this poignant.

@@froivyrn1 yeah right? Ahah
Meanwhile white doesnt even know how a pawn takes
1:16 The guy's at 800 Levy. As someone who played at that level for far too long, I can say with near certainty that he wasn't planning on playing any named opening Vienna or otherwise. :-)
Speak for yourself
I remain stuck at that level due to my instance on attempting a scholars mate every game, and instantly abandoning any game I start as black.
Really? I've studied multiple openings both with black and white since I was around 600 elo. I've tried to play openings with white as the four knights, the Italian, the Ruy Lopez, the queen's gambit, the London, the Vienna, etc. I've played opening with black like the king's Indian defense, the Nimzo-Indian, the Caro-kann, and I've even dabbled in the Sicilian a bit.
@@LukeHuber Do NOT do this. You may have heard this too many times, but attempting the scholar's mate every time doesn't improve your chess game at all, and it immensely helps to study at LEAST a few different openings. You don't even have to learn complicated ones! Maybe play e4 openings, d4, c4, etc. The Reti opening is actually pretty decent as well (Nf3)
@@kieran101yes I know, but the memes
I imagine how surprised Kevin was when he checkmated his opponent.
White before this video: “what a beautiful mate I have found here. I bet this will be a good submission.”
White after: “yeah I’m going back to checkers
It is a cool mate tho

Protect these players and make sure they never improve, we need more games like this

Nah. Get them to move up and make the game more popular. Fresh blood will join and do things in a new and somehow worse way.

How do you protect these players and from who?? Do you want to put them in the g league or in the NBA
How do you protect these players and from who?? Do you want to put them in the g league or in the NBA
Let me add my input as an 800 myself. Usually, when you miss a hanging piece for a few turns, you become obligated not to take it because taking it admits that you didn't see it, and you can't have your opponent thinking that you're dumb. Now you might be thinking, "but wouldn't that make the opponent look dumb as well?"
I hope this was insightful.
"He who takes the hanging piece is a fool for 5 minutes, but he who never takes the piece is a fool forever."
- idk Sun Tzu or sth
As a 1300, wouldn't you just look even stupider?
Jesus.
I believe the term for this is foolish pride
*visible confusion*
just take the piece, its not like u will lose the game
Levy: “ Kevin is not an individual who wants to take it slow, Kevin wants to get into the action right away, he is a first date kinda guy!!” 😂😂😂
Honestly, this is more relatable and beautiful than any top GM games. Watching this makes you laugh and feel better about your chess whereas top GM games are like ? ? ?
The amazing thing about the light squared bishop not seeing the rook for so long is also the fact that black did nothing about it either, which means he ALSO didn't realize his rook was hanging
thats why those entertaining game are so rare because it takes both players work together unknowingly to make it happens :D
As a fellow 800 player I also have a blind spot for those long diagonal queen/bishop moves lol
@@thatcanadian4460 I'm around the 800 rating as well. I feel like my blunders are knight forks. That's what I'm working on
I admit to sometimes risking it, just leaving a piece where I just blundered it because I don't want to lose a turn. 😁 If they didn't see it the first time, maybe not the second either.
@@_Thorondor SOoooo TRUEEE
Seeing people play bad chess is just so inexplicably entertaining.
Yesn't
It's like a comedic movie, you never know what's coming
It is torture
TRUE
half entertaining, half losing braincells
Its always so satisfying to see someone actually end the game with a mate, regardless of if being intended or not, after all the pain your eyes and brain just went through
I love the fact that the rook that hung for like 6 moves survived until the end.
'There's a hanging rook and that rook is just immortal' LMAO
Bruh literally right after he said that, I got an ad for the new Immortals trailer 😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching people blunder their king, queen, 2 rooks, their sandwich and a lego star wars millennium falcon set is the best content of all time. PLEASE keep doing this content gotham.
Imagine gotham just yelling: "He BlUndErEd HiS sAnDwiCh"
"The best thing since sliced bread?"
"oh no, my sandwich!"
First you let opponen promote a queen, then you blunder few rooks, but at the end, you still win.
@@marcuspoosz2190 gahhhh
as a fellow 800 player, I was having a really hard time figuring out which moves were blunders lmao.
agree lol
I laughed at every blunder despite not noticing a single one
Blimey, there were loads of them.
This is what makes the game more interesting at the lower levels. Just because you blunder a queen or two doesn't mean you can't still win :D
That’s why I never surrender when I blunder a queen. The 800 I’m playing against is just as dumb as I am.
In lower levels people just straight up resign when they lose the Queen even if they're like 2 rooks up
@@charliepeke Yep.
I fucking hate when people give up for no reason. I took someone's queen once and literally saw a combo where he would have won. And it wasn't even anything tricky. Just natural moves. I did send the guy a message just to kinda rub it in his face a bit. He never responded, probably never even looked at it. That's the other problem with low raters, they never analyze and learn from their stupid.
fun to watch these games. it turns my chess mediocrity into godlike status haha

Funny thing is how one game my opponent was up a bishop and a rook and he hung mate after a rook sac I did. He didn't have any hesitation to take

Agreed, agreed.
A chaotic game with a lot of missed chances for both sides.
I don't know if I have been coming across cheaters, or just seriously unlucky, but I just started playing again, after many years, and even at a low level I have never seen anyone miss something as blatant as the Queen take check with a pawn.

"Now you're up two pieces, and you're probably going to win the game, or hang mate, there is no in-between at the 800 level."

I am literally a 300, and I feel like a grandmaster watching these people.
he ain’t wrong though I’m an 800, haven’t drawn a single game but I climbed up 100 points today so maybe I’m not an 800?

theres no way levi still uses skype right
"or hang the mate, there's no in between at the 800 level" perfect quote
Kevin read somewhere that the bishop pair is really powerful, so he wants to hang onto them. He hasn't gotten to the part of the book that explains what bishops do yet (move diagonally and take pieces), but he knows they're powerful.
the next vid should be “The Worst Game of Chess Ever” with no blunders and its a 100+ move game that ends in a draw lmaooo (in-fact is stockfish 12 v stockfish 12)

@@goodmongo7423 It's better to play longer games as opposed to short games if you're trying to improve. The really fast time controls like blitz and bullet are what you want to avoid if you want to get better, because you barely have any time to find the best moves.
The one thing I wish you'd add to the end of these is a review of the cap scores and the eval chart on the analysis page for laughs.
Yeah a cap score would be nice for all these amatuer games. He almost never show that though, even though people ask on stream all the time.
