Am i stupid or every episode is like: 400 ELO chess enjoyer: "I will move this pawn" Gotham: "Yea, it will be high elo game, it is south berlin, ukrainian variation, gambit"
8:47 ~400 with just 3 blunders? WTF. No wonder Magnus retired. I'd be scared too. Back in my days players at 400 level would hang a queen and the opponent wouldn't take it.
I remember when I was 400 playing an online game next to my friend who was 600, the opponent hung their queen and he said “That’s how you know he’s 400”
That was back in our day, now every 400 has this list of achievements: -Knowing every opening trap in existance so you can't trick them -Knowing at least 5 defences that will crush whatever opening you will play -Playing an opening that makes you lose to forced mate in 34 unless you sac your queen after the first 5 moves -Having a sixth sense so they can feel when your queen is blundered -Being able to find 20 move combinations to cash in on your weaknesses of the position -If you survive the opening, they'll make sure to set a field of traps where if you do one worng move you just get obliterated in every inimaginable way -Activating a seventh sense to make sure they know when you blundered your queen, which probably will happen if you, by a miracle still have one -Destroying whats remaining of your position using simple tactics your tiny brain can't even begin to understand -Reach the endgame and knowing how to solve any position with 8 pieces or less on the board in any position -If you're cheating or you're magnus carlsen and reach this level, he will activate terminal level and destroy the world. Congratulations, you lost 11 elo points Also he took your soul
White in the first game was a smurf. I've watched my 400 friend play online, it's a miracle if either side can avoid hanging pieces for four moves in a row, saccing a bishop for mate is way, WAYYYY above that level.
I agree with one of the chat comments. They stated that no chess engine would give you moves for a knight/bishop checkmate when you still have six pawns on the board. It would have calculated a mate in fewer moves by pushing the pawns.
A 1300 can definitely know how to mate with bishop and knight. I learned it at 1300 myself. But the rest of the game wasn't played on 1300 level. Also it is very rare to see a 90 vs 80% evaluation on that level. Basically black played a fantastic game, but white was apparently even better. Now, it could have been a 1650 that couldn't stop playing after being completely wasted one night, and this is his start of the rating climb. Trying to research that possibility, giving him the benefit of the doubt, I could not find his account, which makes this thing rather shush, a couple of days after the stream.
This episode had everything. Hilarious mistake by Levy, probably the greatest game in GTE history, and easily the best ending to a video in Levy’s catalogue. 10/10 GTE will never die! Liers will kicked off

Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!!
@@andrerodrigues2877 As I have said I watched a few of gothams opening videos and practised them against bots. I definitely do not really know them well but still know a few basic openings.
In defense of G4 I studied the Bishop/Knight Mate with chessable because I had it 2 times otb and didn't know how to checkmate which drove me nuts and I'm also not +2000. Edit: I remember there sitting and thinking about Silmans Endgame course where he writes that he won't cover that endgame because it occurs so rarely 😂
Strange thing to think about, but the N+B checkmate opportunity occurs in about 1 in 6000 games...but, if you think about it that means 1 in 36 million 2 game pairs result in BACK TO BACK N+B endgames (and that doesn't even account for games close in proximity...like one then another 10 games later, etc). So it's rare, but in the age of internet chess with so many games happening, it's not THAT rare. Happens to somebody. It also doesn't account for "near misses" where knowing it could help you confidently play the best moves. For example, I witnessed an OTB game where a 1900 admitted he very reluctantly went into the correct endgame of bishop knight and pawn vs rook because if his opponent just sacrificed the rook for the pawn he had no idea what to do.
@@faznaz7455I mean you have to decide to learn it.no one does it for you. If you don't want to become a titled player you probably don't have to. Especially if you only play blitz
For those who don’t know, Bishop and Knight mate is actually very easy, there’s a very cool pattern which you can learn in a few tries. Even though it’s rare, it’s worth learning cause it improves your notion of controlling squares with your pieces
My soul gets crushed when I hear Gotham's sentences. 1st game: "doesn't know how to play the London, must be a 900" bruv Im a 1100 blitz and I occasionally straightup blunder whole pieces in one move 😭
I feel like there's so much variance at lower levels. I have an account that I only play on my phone and I'm 900 blitz. In the PC account I'm 1100 blitz. Only difference is that I'm more concentrated on the computer

Levy, played chess for the first time in November of last year at the age of 25. Thanks to your videos, I finally hit an 800 elo today. I know that’s not much but I’m really proud of it and I wanted to say thank you. Your videos have been such a huge help and keep me interested in chess.
I like how Levy keeps his cool in the Stockfish game when he learns that the player is 1300, he never says out loud that he might be cheating, and then uploads a video on YT in all caps "STOCKFISH IN GUESS THE ELO" hahaha
50 episodes of Guess The Elo and i’m pretty sure I have rewatched every single one like 5 times. This series never gets old. We could go on for 500 more episodes and it will never get boring. Better than anything on Netflix.
In defense of game 4, i dont remember who said it (Kasparov or Magnus) study lategame not openings - knowing how to mate with everything thats possible to mate with is better than knowing just a few openings out of all possible. As long as youre principled you can trade down to lategame and win there
Just want give a HUGE thank you to @gothamchess- FINALLY hit 1000 rating after over a year of slowly gaining points from 600 😅😅 I know it's nothing to be proud about, but achieving goals and making progress and just enjoying the game has been awesome. Thanks for the fantastic content- danger levels, tempo, initiative and so many more concepts pop up during games in a way that only your content has delivered- simple and easy to remember. Keep up the GREAT CONTENT!
Every time I see Levy go over bad players at my ELO, I always ask, "Where are these terrible players when I'm playing?" Then I realize, "Oh, they're probably me."
I started watching Gotham chess 8-9 months ago (Dec 2021), back when I was a 600 elo dude and Levy's Guess the elo helped me gain 100 to 200 points every month and I reached 1500 in May 2022 (about 5 months). Thanks for the great content.
I was so worried you werent going to make another gte episode so I decided to watch every previous gte episode again UNTIL I SAW THIS. Thank you levy posting another gte episode because i really need it.
I can buy that a 1300 rated player knows the Bishop and Knight mate, as a 1600 rated player that is wasting their time learning the Two Knights vs King and Pawn endgame. Great episode. I love how you handled the mistake in game 2 and all of the games were entertaining to watch.
We play to fast at that level because we've all lost on time in a winning position and its the WORST feeling in the world. So we play 10 minute games and play like its bullet for the first 40 moves :)
As a 1000, I can say I can mate stockfish with a knight and a bishop because I learned the pattern once. Also the capture chain at 23:38 isn't tough to see at all, there are many other things that seemed trivial for you that were tough.
"Y'all let me say this out loud?!" Of course they do, coz they want content BTW huge congratulations to you Levy for GTE 50! It has been such a long time watching your videos. Hope we reach a century of GTE episodes soon!
I learned the bishop and knight mate basically when I started and learned mating patterns (latter mate, king and queen, king and rook etc), just for fun (I started as an adult). So I was able to beat Stockfish with bishop and knight as an 800 or so. I see no reason why a 1300 wouldn't be able to learn it. It's not really necessary at that level, but also not wrong to study that endgame for two hours and be able to do it. To me, it was just the ambition to learn it when everybody in the UA-cam videos I watched said it was hard.
It's the 80 vs 90% accuracy which is really shush. Basically black defended like a 1700, so it is pretty incredible that white beat him like he was a 2000.
16:30 The main reason why I do 10 minute games but dont take too much time in them is because I am doing it casually or I dont want to worry about a time pressure
Just a heads-up that technically this is the 51st episode. Try searching "guess the elo 14" and you'll see another episode that isn't counted and is not on the playlist.
12:37 clearly he played Kh8 sacrificing his rook to Bf8 so he could bait Bg7 and provoke a rook move, because it would be rude to win while forking a King, Queen, and Rook all at once. That would totally devastate his opponent causing him to quit chess, and no more chess means no rematch. Big brain play by Gotham Sub to not only win the game but also maintain rematch chances.
that exact idea at 22:48 you explained in one of your og tartakower videos and you GUARANTEED id win a game that exact way. Well I actually did not to long ago, thank you levi
Classic Levy sharing his embarrassment. It helps us feel good about our embarrassing moments too. Thank you Levy! Great content. I’m in the Army so this is great to watch when I want to think about literally anything else except being here ♥️
I personally prefer how to lose at chess because you go more in depth, but gte is super entertaining, super helpful, and taught me things like c4 in the symmetrical London and cxd4 in the 2….Nf6 QGD to get a massive center and a tempo. I would love to see more opening videos, your Caro video won me so many games because it was so detailed and well done, I’d love a similar video about the King’s Indian, QG, and Slav that’s more in depth
I started watching Gotham chess 7-8 months ago before I even started playing chess and now I started playing chess and I’m a 600! And I can beat my dad lol. Anyways, Thank you so much for teaching me to love chess as much as I do now.
The knight and bishop mate must be legit because an engine would give a quicker mate as he still had other pieces on the board, so I think the whole game is legit
In levi's defense, a lot of people tend to play a lot better than their elo suggests but they have issues like watching out for tactics effectively or blundering something stupid which justifies them having that elo, except that doesn't happen every game and he gets the games it didn't happen in.
I suggest you check the Olympiad board 4 game in a match Singapore - Lithuania with actual mate delivered on the board on move #32 with Lithuanian GM nicely sacrificing material on the way there.
I can still do bishop and knight cause my trainer furiously made me learn it 5 years ago, after my teammate failed to convert that endgame in a tournament game. Ive since stopped playing regularly and have become terrible at chess now but that shit has been imprinted in my brain :D
Am i stupid or every episode is like:

-Having a sixth sense so they can feel when your queen is blundered
-Being able to find 20 move combinations to cash in on your weaknesses of the position
-If you survive the opening, they'll make sure to set a field of traps where if you do one worng move you just get obliterated in every inimaginable way
-Activating a seventh sense to make sure they know when you blundered your queen, which probably will happen if you, by a miracle still have one
-Destroying whats remaining of your position using simple tactics your tiny brain can't even begin to understand
-Reach the endgame and knowing how to solve any position with 8 pieces or less on the board in any position
-If you're cheating or you're magnus carlsen and reach this level, he will activate terminal level and destroy the world.
Congratulations, you lost 11 elo points
Also he took your soul
Not gonna lie these are the games people give me at 600 and I'm constantly getting my ass kicked
Levy in the beginning of every game ¨Nice, ok, not bad.¨ Levy by the 10th move: ¨Quit chess permanently you donut¨
Truly the Gordon Ramsay of chess.
White in the first game was a smurf. I've watched my 400 friend play online, it's a miracle if either side can avoid hanging pieces for four moves in a row, saccing a bishop for mate is way, WAYYYY above that level.
yeeeeah 100 %
both of them were no 400 if u ask me
more like levy guessed
they didn’t sack a bishop for mate, they lost a bishop and then found mate
eh, they could have found a complicated puzzle and then used it. Its not really something that takes skill to do
Not so sure about that. If he look up a lot of london tutorials, then that bishop lives to get sacked lol.
As a 400 that was just a lucky game not really a smurf lol, I have watched wayy to many Gotham chess videos which really doesn't make me smurf level.

Always love Guess The Elo
Thanks Gotham
Stockfish wouldn't reccomend Bishop Knight mate, stockfish would promote to a queen and checkmate.
I personally prefer how to lose at chess because you go more in depth, but gte is super entertaining, super helpful, and taught me things like c4 in the symmetrical London and cxd4 in the 2….Nf6 QGD to get a massive center and a tempo. I would love to see more opening videos, your Caro video won me so many games because it was so detailed and well done, I’d love a similar video about the King’s Indian, QG, and Slav that’s more in depth
13:26 Exactly i was so confused when you said that tactic.
h2 isn't pinned right? what am I missing here?
I started watching Gotham chess 7-8 months ago before I even started playing chess and now I started playing chess and I’m a 600! And I can beat my dad lol. Anyways, Thank you so much for teaching me to love chess as much as I do now.
600 is nice! Maybe you hit 2600 one day 👏👏.
@@awmdanger9677 That went from 0 to 100 real quick.
@@awmdanger9677 Also, this comment is giving Misha v Karpov vibes.
For whatever reason I read the title as "Magnus in guess the elo"
On 13:33 can’t you just take a knight with a pawn and there’s no threat?
Ikr im so confused
Yes. That's the point.
"Your like my dog" 30seconds late oooooo you put his bishop in jail niceeee 🤣🤣🤣
wow not a pin of shame for once.
bro in that second game all three checkmating pieces were hanging. gorgeous.
edit: just noticed the queen isn't hanging. still cool that 2/3 were tho
That 4th game was amazing, am I the only one who thinks it's legit? Feel bad for the players if everyones accusing them of cheating if they aren't
The knight and bishop mate must be legit because an engine would give a quicker mate as he still had other pieces on the board, so I think the whole game is legit
in dutch necking would probably be the same as the Australian one
suggestion: reverse guess the elo. you find out their ELOs and guess which moves they make
Gotham left competitive chess and now became random noob from guess the Elo himself.
Add up ☝🏽☝️🔝.
I’m a going to fly for you 26:44
When he said my dog takes 1 bite and the he goes IM GONNA SEE THE NEIGHBOURS BFURBFUFHDUR
The thing is, game 4 is probably not a cheat because stock fish wouldn’t tell him to do the bishop knight mate
He cheated, a 100% just not in the end game
He can set-up a position without the pawns
In levi's defense, a lot of people tend to play a lot better than their elo suggests but they have issues like watching out for tactics effectively or blundering something stupid which justifies them having that elo, except that doesn't happen every game and he gets the games it didn't happen in.
Spell his name right, and he can smell an 1100 from across the room!
finally a video without Magnus in the title
in the first game is a mistake,it’s not a forced draw because the bishop can block on c2
I suggest you check the Olympiad board 4 game in a match Singapore - Lithuania with actual mate delivered on the board on move #32 with Lithuanian GM nicely sacrificing material on the way there.
That third game was beautifully half controlled creativity.

Watching the Surfshark ad like 20th time on your channel, but still love it ❤❤.
No levy, I've never disconnected from the server during a winning chess game because I've never been in a winning chess game
25:25 people start to resign at ~800ish but still not too common until ~1500-1750
Bro boxed his bishop like a fish
Loved the benji analogy
13:25 when you stare too long into the void, the void stares back into you.
the laugh at 13:39
Someone in chat at 25:50 saying “have you heard of Mike oxlong” is hilarious 😂
I can still do bishop and knight cause my trainer furiously made me learn it 5 years ago, after my teammate failed to convert that endgame in a tournament game. Ive since stopped playing regularly and have become terrible at chess now but that shit has been imprinted in my brain :D
Holy crap. The bishop and knight checkmate was dope. Gigachad
I suddenly remember Mikhail tals qoute
