This is the first game I've ever seen where both players played top engine moves including a brilliant move, and also bottom engine moves that couldn't be worse, and have it end in a draw. It's like it was a computer playing against another computer where every other move was alternating between best move and worst move for both sides.
Things that will not be changed : 1. Magnus win a chess tournament 2. Hikaru premove 69420 moves in a chess game , no matter the game is online or in real life 3. Levy keep quitting chess
For anyone wondering, the not findable move at 8:21 is Knight to e5, than if black take any piece (Rook, Bishop, Knight) , you just go Queen H5 and then White pretty much auto wins
Hello, Levy. I started playing chess 9 months ago; I didn’t even know how the pieces moved. I started learning from you, absorbing basic openings and chess principles, and gradually improved my rating. I didn't expect to go far, initially believing 500 Elo was my limit. However, you proved me wrong. Over the past 9 months, I played more than 2000 games and solved countless puzzles. I reached 800 Elo, then ordered your book and eagerly completed it in 2 weeks. Now, I'm a 1400 Elo player and about to play my first OTB tournament. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you, Levy. ♥️♥️
@@h3lcurt He absolutely deserves the flak for the bullshit clickbait though. Only reason I came here was because I was hoping it was about him playing Hans Niemann which I saw Hikaru just post a video on. I'd rather watch Levy break down a game though so I came here.
21:00 Actually, this is way too advanced for a 500... White foresaw the threat on the f2 square, with both the knight on e4 and rook on c2 attacking it, and to prevent getting checked on the next move, he moved his king away 😂 Usually what low ELO players do is think about how they can attack the opponent, here something reverse happens... White prevents the threat of the opponent, but doesn't think that he can attack on his own instead
Oh, I actually saw that post. I love how after Qf7# is missed, Levy just doesn't even bother showing Qf7+ as one of the options when he's showing all the checks that Riker has. Like that knight still hasn't stopped allowing the queen to safely check on f7.
Hey Levy. Unlikely you'll see this comment, but still wanted to write this. I just lost my father in law and it's been a huge loss for all of us. That man was like a 2nd father to me. I've been away from the internet for quite a time trying to help around with the family. And also lost a bit of the fire I had for chess. And seeing a video popping up of you posting a how to lose at chess honestly upped my day. Thank you for all the content you put out, both for the comedic value and instruction value, and for making mere 1200s like me feel fascinated by this game. And also for making something to enjoy even on the crappy moments in life as these. Just thanks
Same here. I am 530 atm, down from 560 after multiple losses in a row. My opponents seem to pull off tactics that Levy lands into 800 to 1300 range, based on guess the ELO series. Everyone seems to have strong opening game, perfectly responding to tactics, no blunders in middle game, and end games being decided by small pawns or knight bishop advantages.
Just to defend Riker; the rook sacrifice WAS actually intentional, they said, on their reddit post, that they wanted access to Qh5 and sacced the rook to attract the knight away from defending h5. They knew the horse could go backwards.
I went to a rapid chess tournament this weekend where, after two easy wins, I collapsed, I touched the wrong piece, I got very anxious and I forgot all my opening repertoire. First, playing online kills my ability to play OTB - and I have been playing OTB since 1986. Second, playing fast games makes me even more nervous, especially when I don't have advantage in the opening. So, I played literally like a baby, giving away my rook, my queen. And I lost a lot of Élö points. Things like that happen, and do not correlate with one's theoretical knowledge.
The fun of being clueless at chess gives us so much joy. The fun is what chess is all about! Top level games will never be as interesting as games like this one. Thank you Levy for covering them
I have noticed that a lot of people ask, "Why is this brilliant?" not for information, but as a challenge to others. Knowing that this was supposed to be a spectacularly bad game, I did pretty well at predicting many of the moves. My tip for beginners in an endgame where your opponent just has a knight (and maybe some pawns): Try to keep your king on the opposite color from the knight. If you do that, the knight cannot deliver a check on the next move. If you have a major piece (like the queen here), also have it on the opposite color, as the knight has no immediate attack. Once the knight moves, it will now be on the same color as the king & queen, so move one of them to the opposite color right away, as it guarantees against a fork. You have to pay attention to that on every move, though.
I'm around there and wish I could fucking have games like this. I always end up playing people who are on the way up or something and rarely make moves anywhere near this dumb. Of course there's plenty of stupidity, but nothing approaching this kinda thing. There's far more of the kinds of moves Levy was praising than the ones we laugh at.
Not even a month ago bro was talking big about becoming a GM and now bro is quitting chess once again. This guy is rapidly slipping just like Fischer and Kramnik did, but unlike them, he ain’t no GM💀
I find high elo chess to be one of the most influencial, impressive, and masterful things a human can achieve. However, low elo chess is just horrific. I really dont know how this level of chess is possible. Not that good at chess but man, I was never that bad.
"chess, when played perfectly, always ends in a draw."

we are far from perfect chess though
@@MegaSKyFall That's the joke bro

am I wrong in saying that it would end in white winning? every single black opening seems to be stacked against it
