It's kind of nice to see Levy guest starring in "Guess the Elo."
I always thought it would have been funny, albeit not really possible, to have one of his games snuck into guess the ELO. Maybe one of the blunder ones
@@OtherNinja_ it already happened and Levy didn't find it funny.
@@FourOneNineOneFourOne well dude someone spoiled it before it could have been funny
Levi *
@@FourOneNineOneFourOne Which episode was it
While you're on the humility train, I think it would be cool to see the most Brilliant moves played AGAINST you. The moves that you thought were the coolest and blew you away the most. Love the videos!
banger suggestion, he should do this
@@msaa1125 and then obviously finish the set with the worst blunders made against him.
Yeah that’s a great idea
nah thats torture
Great video idea
The blunders I hate the most are the ones I calculate so many moves ahead that I forget the immediate threat that got me to start calculating
Yep, that's why his queen blunder was so relatable! Exactly what's happened there, I think.
I feel you at heart, anko
GTE submissions: "Wait you can calculate AHEAD?"
I played once a daily Game in a championship and i had to win so I calculated like 10 or 20 moves far,my calculation was correct but i forgot the 1 move asking an queen trade.
My blunder: opponent gains advantage of 10
Levy's blunder: position is no longer 0.0
Actually drawing a winning position is a blunder, you changed the game result
@@moustafa_1994 true
I remember being up a queen and a rook and with 1 blunder it was now -3 :)
I usually get there with 2 blunders like first one is +4 and only then +10
@@THEpicND wait it's possible to fuck up that badly?
if you call your blunders "sacrifices" then you technically never will blunder -Gandhi (probably)
I believe it was Lord Farquaad who said that
Why making sacrifices when you can Just blunder? Ahahhahah
Every sacrifice is a blunder if you are as good at chess as I am
Underrated comment
@@AlexDings Wrong, it was Sun Tzu.
"We traded blunders here like every move"
His viewers: *First time?*

I read this just as he said it
You should definitely consider taking the Caro-Kann course, you will get 30% off

In mee nuts
@@Botchewlism damn, time to break out the tweezers!
Me: yeah, i did great!
Computer: 64, 5 blunders, 3 mistakes
Yes but a 4k elo machine evaluates those mistakes and blunders. If you arr sub 1000 some mistakes are completely fine
85 inaccuracies
Me when the computer tells me 64
very decent for bullet
Gotham: Sees winning tactic
Also Gotham: Misses mate in 1
Also Also Gotham: Wins on time
The grand finale was brilliant. Levy has such a gift for commentary.
No it was a blunder
ITS LEVY NOT LEVI
Levy: I missed mate in 1. How r u suppose to take my advice!
Me: Well, you missed mate in 1, I create a mate in 1 on me in a winning position.🙂🙃
my opponent did this in a 100% winning position. i blundered the petrov queen trap for some reason and then he castled long after a while. he had a piece on his diagonal leading to center and rook on his left. i take the pawn that becomes free after the long castle and he plays g3 in hopes of trapping my dark square bishop but by doing that he blundered bh3# and it was the most hilarious game ever. i think he was -10.5 as black and then blundered mate in 1.
I still blunder a back Rank mate when Im +15 xD
I just give a check where the only legal move is checkmate.
"The grandmaster has lost more than a beginner has played." Every loss and win is just one step closer to GM, I believe in you Levy
Yes, I really don’t want him to give up. He still 26, he can still become gm before 30.
yeah and i'm so proud of his humility to share the games that he lost with us. it shows resilience and an ability to grow.
Lol, I'm pretty sure you don't mean that. I'm willing to bet that he wouldn't become a GM ever
@@tanish4869 probably. However hes still 100x better than you will ever be
@@idontgetthejoke4393 Actually I don't see how that's possible. My fide rating is 1509 , so ×100 times that would be 150,900 which I'm sure you would agree is absurd.
Alternative title: "Botez Gambit: Crush yourself with this powerful weapon!!!"
No...such humor is illegal :D
@@omokennanna1750 That is humor??
@@jayr526 I think so
I love this video. "I missed mate!" or "I hung my queen!" and a few moments later: "I still won". I don't think I will ever resign again after this.
Ah yes, a Guess The Elo episode featuring Levy. Let me grab a cup of tea for this.
Levy and Hikaru should do a Guess The Elo where half of the games are their own worst games
Even if you won’t be GM you’re legacy will be more impactful than most GM’s by introducing and teaching chess to a whole new generation for free. 🐐
levy: "am 2350 after many years. i suck"
me: "i am 1650 after many years. im pretty decent"
i'm an intermediate player and after like 6 months i am literally a diety.
cool
me when I first reached 1500: "I'm only 10 more tournaments away from 2500!"
xddd
@@AlphaRW what rating
A couple years from now, someone should get a friend and play out these games exactly as they are, and then submit them as your own for guess the elo. Then when Levi screams at the mistakes people make and how these players can't possibly be over 1400, link this video back to him. =D
That would be pretty funny but I think he'd remember them 😂
You sir, are a genius
thanks satan :)
This is the kind of person the devil is afraid of
@@who8thecookies Well my name is short one letter of spelling out Satan, so you know...
I had the reverse experience yesterday. I had a game in our local league which stockfish put me at 95% accuracy and in a completely drawn position... I blundered mate in two. Chess IS tough.
Rip
I like how in most of these examples your opponents also temporarily forgot how to play chess, you just forgot more…sounds like 90% of my games
Can’t forget how to play chess if you don’t know how to play it in the first place, which I like to think is literally everyone except Magnus
OTB can be even worse as illegal moves are possible. I have continued games with my king in check for multiple moves, unnoticed. My opponent once wound up with two bishops on the same color squares, neither of us could remember when that happened (it wasn't an underpromotion scenario).
I assume this going to get lost in the comments but I wanted to say something anyway. I have been struggling with some of the worst, most dangerous depression in a long time. To help my healing process, I have been focusing on finally learning chess. Your videos have been my main learning source because of how good you are at present the information and keep it exciting. I'm only in the 300s elo right now, but I am super proud of my 88% accuracy rated checkmate win i had yesterday. Thank you for having such great concise content with so much energy. You're always helping people learn and get excited about chess. Thank you so much.
Levy: “My 7 worst blunders…”
Also levy: of course it was blitz so I still won the game
Me: my 7 best moves
Also me: although I still lost the game
Levy: Yeah these blunders aren't my proudest moments
Literally all of us: "You at least win some of the times when you blunder :("
My worst move was in my first ever rated game in high school. Something like fifth move I picked up my kingside knight and hemmed and hawed trying to decide between e2 and f3, and compromised on e3. I somehow got it to the point where my kingside quadrant had 15 pieces in it. When I went back and replayed it from my notes, I saw the illegal move and threw it away in disgust. I keep wishing I kept it because I mapped out all the exchanges and came out a bishop ahead and eventually won the game.
Believe me, your worst move are blunders you never noticed and your opponent also didn't notice and they happen all the time.
LEvi you need to look at checks it can be mate, hope it helps you get better at chess.
The only time that I ever look at Checks is at breakfast.
Me watching Levy’s blunders:
Well... that looks normal to me
Edit:
Some people misinterpreted my comment!
I meant that during my games those kind of blunders are just normal.
Apologizing to Levy if he also misinterpreted this!
I should have explained myself better. Levy doesn’t deserve at all any of those hate comments (even though most are just trying to get pinned).
Glad he didn’t pin me so far.
Blunder
No pin of shame, but Gotham got burned.
@@bennetth7008 jokes don’t get pin of shame
@@bennetth7008 Oh my god!
I think I should explain myself better!
I meant that, in my games, those blunders would happen naturally!
I'm with you, man. I blunder as if it was the point of the game
I went through all your videos and ended up realising that i have watched almost all of them, I’m currently at 1600 elo and almost everything I learnt was from you, thank you for introducing me to a part of my life i never knew would end up impacting me so much
Any insight on which videos/concepts helped you the most so far? How did you break out of that beginner stage into intermediate?
Most of us are used to the computer telling us we blundered. Discouraging as it can be, it's not as disheartening as when the computer asks, "WTF is wrong with you?" I hate that.
its almost therapeutic to see levy making similar blunders to me, the humility is super great to see and its not only entertaining but also instructive
Levy doesnt blunder, he just forget that he is an IM.
Levy: I forgor 💀

All of you are wrong
Levy: "How do I see the attack on my Queen and forget it on the very next move?!"
Me, perfecting that skill:....
I just finished the best moves video and Levi said "tell me if you want a video about my blunders". I refresh and here it is 😅
Idk if i spelled correctly
This video was priceless. As a chess player who blunders constantly, I needed this in my life! Well done, sir!!
I literally just had my worst game in months with 12 blunders, +9 up then threw so heavily from not considering a transposition - your video has made me feel much better about it thank you
Nothing like Levy having "Guess the ELO" moments with himself in his own games - awesome stuff and thanks for sharing these games
And levy tells us “checks, captures, attacks.”
Biggest takeaway from this is that Levy has great time control vs. Equal-to-lower rated players
Someone needs to submit one of these games to guess the Elo and see if levy roasts his own game
This was amazing. Those final two games on the 'Guess the Elo' would have been unbelievable.
"I was about to throw up... I mean, how are you supposed to take my advices" you are killing me Levi 😂😂😂😂
Hey Gotham, there's this really cool UA-camr who teaches chess. There's this concept called continuity, when your 3rd opponent moved the Queen behind the Knight he was threatening a discovered attack! If you remember what your opponent was threatening a move ago you will surely improve! 👍👍
Never seen someone more humble than Levy. He accepts defeat in the right way and does everything in the right way. Your the GOAT of chess and you will not only become GM but you will become Super GM. You are the most open youtuber also. Keep it up!
9:19 Levy being a perfect wingman!😂😂😂😂😂
Love the humility and humour! It’s so hard to be able to laugh at your own mistakes while also pushing to be better. You’re an impressive man, Levy!
Levy is so self aware that he releases back to back videos with polar opposite concepts. Kudos Levy, keep up the good work, we all love you! Just what I needed to see when I was craving some guess the elo!
Levy
Self aware
Does good work
We're all horrible at chess! Love your content bro. Appreciate the effort you put in
Expect of mangus lol
@@zisischartampilas6601 💀
Outstanding 😆 under that much time pressure it’s hardly surprising it randomly comes off the rails sometimes. Seeing missed 3 to 5 move combinations, opportune mates etc would require seeing everything at once with no time for part by part thinking.
Could you make a video of the patterns of your own mistakes/blindspots? Something like, 'I always trade into a losing endgame, etc.'. Like how beginners usually struggle with central pawn captures? Really appreciate all the hard work
You don't suck at chess and your videos have made me and many other better chess players! Even if these are your biggest blunders you are still a fantastic chess player and great inspiration to many! Thanks for also sharing content like this with us!
153rd day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan: "Facc schif a scacc"
Game 3 in particular reminds me a lot of my games. I see the threat and make a note of it, and then immediately forget it.
I totally hung a mate on my first date too, there is a slot in the thinking process where you put "don't ever do this", as calculation intensifies that slot overflows, unless you're Hiraku.
Levy in a nutshell:
Sometimes maybe good Sometimes maybe shit
Clicked faster than Hikaru pre-moving in bullet chess.
He quit bullet chess btw - he only plays it if there's a big prize tournament
Nearly every game: Levy with a humblebrag 'oh I'll never be GM' but 'Oh I won on time!' (the whole point of blitz/bullet!)
Yo I hope you make more videos like this in the future from the other data you had. Its dope you put yourself out there like this.
Gotham,you're one of my favorite UA-camr and make me laugh everyday!
I don't care if you don't see this,
But if you do,
Don't listen to haters and it's ok to have blunders,no one is perfect!
We always try to support you, have a fun day!
Respect to pianist and levy
@@hybrid5851 thanks my friend!
It’s a good thing that no one is actually good at chess, but you’re better than 99.%
Yea, Magnus sucks.
@@jacobshirley3457 compared to Leela and Stockfish - he does.
@@igorbednarski8048 Unless they've solved chess, they suck.
Nice video. In the spirit I would like to see a video on your best/worst book moves.
This was so entertaining! Thank you Levy, great work!
This guy's blunders look like brilliancies to me.
GothamChess saying that heʼs horrible at chess is like me saying that Iʼm good at school. Itʼs just not true.
Lmao
18:50 "This is mate!!!"
ΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑ!! This was the most hilarious video you've ever done! Well done
Few days ago I lost a game where I was up two pieces and the queens were off the board. I needed this. Thank you, Levy!
Clickbait (спецом пишу, мб закрепишь этот коммент)
It’s nice to know the way my 400 vs 500 games often end is also possible at a 2800 vs 2750 level. Love the ones where you both blunder. Thanks for all of the great content, I’m just getting back into Chess after 20 years and am finding you both very informative and very entertaining.
Great stuff! You use a lot of the same expressions I use when reviewing my games 😂
Love your channel I'm really leaning when and what to sacrifice... plus I don't get bored listening to you ... thanks
The Rozman French makes an appearance. I remember getting your video on that line in my recommended recently having never seen it before.
This is Levy's best video, hands down. Not only is it lovely to see someone with 2700+ rating make the same braindead moves I usually make but also Levy's energy and lightheartedness were just *chef's kiss*
There was a game where I blundered a queen and a rook at the same time, thinking I mated my opponent. Later into the game, I play moves that blunder my remaining knight and rook. I lose the game.
This is the video that decided it. I just had subscribe to your channel (it’s about time, after watching all those videos without doing so). It takes a certain kind of courage to do a video like this levy. Bless you!😊
It feels better to know this can happen to anyone regardless their skill level. I feel like a stupid when my opponent makes a mistake in the opening and gets away with it or even gets the upper hand thanks to it. But it helps me motivated to study more and do better.
Absolutely loved this video and the last. Great job and ty.
I have done the premove blunder in the last example a number of times. I learned my lesson and now never premove castle if there are pieces under attack.
My favorite blunder. I moved a rook to the back rank to check the king, and to my horror the king somehow moved by three squares and took my rook! I then realized that was not the king, that was the queen. I thought I was checking the king but I was checking the queen, which is not a thing and the queen simply took my rook. I stared at the board in disbelief for about five minutes after that.
One of your best recaps, Levy. I hope it wasn't too painful to relive those games.
Oh geez, that spot where you drop a pawn move because the King can escape, then miss that move after blocking the king's escape... if I made a mistake like that when I was younger, I would've clutched my hair and started crying, like on the spot. I'm glad you're able to laugh at stuff like this
Game 3 (I feel the pain Levy) - The exact thing happened to me, I saw a discovered attack on queen, moved the king and hung my queen in the very next move. Still don't know what happened to me back then.
I feel you Bro. Just when I think I'm getting better and seeing things, that's when I get beat to a pulp.
Exhausting but instructive and hilarious. Recognize those blunders.😁 Thanks Levy
18:30 I was sitting there like "hm, f5 looks like a cool move, surely gotham will play it and yell at me afterwards why it was a blunder". Gotham: "f5 is just MATE!!!" Me: "Yeeeeeahhh, I totally saw that"
Game 6 had me laughing when your opponent hangs mate, great video.
8:24 I definetely want a t-shirt with that phrase 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These videos are so good!! Pure entertainment! thanks Levy
Levy, I've watched your content both on twitch and youtube since late 2020 and learned so much from you, but this has to be the most hilarious and relateable video I've watched on your channel outside of GTE. Thank you so much for this gem and for putting your mistakes out for all to see. We can all definitely agree... Chess is hard
Awesome two episode videos, love to see more of them.
Really enjoyed this one. Maybe do one with blunders from grandmasters, or very high rated players from history.
Never thought I'd facepalm extensively at moves from players [error, math not complete] times my own rating
I don't know if it's possible without a bunch of work but I would have liked to see top brilliant moves and worst blunders from Levys over the board games.
Watching Levy make the same blunders you expect from a 500 is quite the experience
"If you find Mate in 1, Always find better"
Fabiano Marijuana
i feel u bro... i analysed some of my matches and even stockfish agreed that i made nice moves - but for a different reason: it saw checkmate in 2 and i did it for positional benefits °_° even tho i checkmated 6 moves later, i was kinda shocked to see that
Fantastic!!! You feel a lot worst when you playing a long game and still don't see mate in 1. Brought a smile to my long day.
Ah yes...Unlike the previous episode of brilliancy (with moves I could never hope to see), this episode looks exceeding familiar. Missing mate three times is a refrain that streams constantly in my games. Thanks for sharing your pain and showing us that even the best players mess up. Chess is really hard. Super episode!!
This encourages me to continue after wanting to give up. 😃 I played a game today and I was able to see my opponents moves, before it happened and still lost 😞
One of your best! Simply because we all can soooo relate to your frustration with yourself! Kudos for your humanity!
I did the exact same thing you did in game 3 today. I had a great position out of the opening, and hung my queen in one move.
Those were some "Blunderful" games levy ;) keep up the awesome content!
19:18 " and then I don't play fiiiiive!" Hilarious!!
