Greatest endgame player of ALL TIME ??.The likes of KASPAROV ,FISHER,TAL,KARPOV,ALEKHINE,TAL, The List is Endless were some IDIOTS O ENDGAME? What NONSENSE.
pin of shame
Levy was correct the creme of the crop is in the newest
yoo congrats on the pin of shame
PIn of shamed in january for a video that released in september of last year LOL
Carlsen would crush them all easily
'You would find a way to hang a rook in this position' 😂😂😂 that one got me
almost spit out my coffee on this one haha
need time stamp
@@jinjurbreadman 11:14
omg i read it while the part was being said simultaneously
well to find a way to hang the rook, i'd have to promote a pawn. wandering blissfully into the trap.
2 days ago (after Magnus won the +0.05 endgame against Alireza in Norway chess) I googled for the most drawn positions Magnus won, but i missed the analysis. When i saw this video, i clicked immediately
That game was crazy
i watched that live and when he played ke5 my jaw dropped. my god he is so clever its humbling.

There are thousands of such games. I remember Zusha Polgar and some indian GM yawning while comenting a "dead drawn" game (the 6th game) in the Anand carlsen match 2013. All the time they were making the point of how easily Anand would achieve the draw...Suddenly, some strange moves from Magnus, and soon Anand lost. Around the 4h:37m in this video all that happened ua-cam.com/video/Uj_g6yyftkA/v-deo.html

Endgame wizardry has always been to me, the most fascinating and impressive aspect of GM chess. Amateurs like myself can bust out cool sacrifices every once in a while, but orchestrating a ~30 move plan that culminates in “Opponent to move and lose” is pure chess dominance.
Yet every GM has achieved that goal without being able to do just that. It is fascinating, and it looks like pure sorcery when Carlsen does it. It is also an impractical skill to develop as a means of getting a GM title - so don't attempt it, Levy!
@Yz Fool Whatever on earth are you talking about? Triangulation and zugzwang (you move, you lose) make up roughly 20% of endgame theory. Saying that it is impractical and unnecessary for GMs is like saying a bird doesn't need its legs cause it has wings
That's why Magnus is the best, when most GM games go to an endgame (at least in classical) Magnus has an advantage over everyone else
@@djordjemaletic5667 Such an accurate comparison you have drawn lol
Starting white is often "opponent moves and loses" haha
Now I can’t skip to the time stamp where Magnus plays. :(
You're forced to watch whole video BUHUHAHAHA

(In regards to 13:42 ) Not a firefighter but when it comes to forest fire mitigation they actually do "fight fire with fire" in the form of "controlled burns." Basically they find problem excess wood and foliage that can cause a fire to spread uncontrollably and burn it on their own terms :)
Ah yes, the so called counter-fire, or back fire 🔥
Gotham this is pinworthy
@@DavidEcclestonSmith Pinworthy? As in "pin of shame" or "pin of shared knowledge" ? Doing controlled burns in order to deplete the fuel source (burn stuff so the fire has no way to spread) is a very real and effective thing.
@@-ChrisD prob “pin of impressive knowledge”
@@TRAMNITTSU 😏Fair enough
My favorite endgame of Carlsen is his ridiculous save against Kramnik in the London Classic 2010. I remember reading Carlsen describing how he waited for Kramnik to return to the board to make his move and making sure he sighed when playing into a fork as if he had given up the game because he saw the resulting endgame, while both winning for Kramnik and looking easy, was in practice hard to win and he wanted Kramnik to play his move as fast as possible without thinking to much about it. Kramnik recently talked about it and it was obvious it is one of those games that still haunts him to this very day.
Levi: “You’re worth more than a Queen.”
Also Levi: “You would find a way to hang a rook in this position.”
I'd find a way to hang a rook without any rooks
To this, Levy would say "Learn how to spell my name" ;) lol i agree w/ u

True

Once he figures out how to keep the gushing inside. Lol gotta learn the basics before going for the masters
I would rather have more personable characters on the show like he's done so far
Rather have magnus in elo swap
You have surpassed agadmator on sub count. It is as of today GothamChess became the most subscribed chess channel in the world. GG levy.
Agadmator is shit
@@456death654 what's with the negativity buddy
@@456death654 I like Levy but online has made people have the balls to not have any respect for content creators. You can praise Levy without insulting Antonio.
@@HaleonRanks His Majority Audience is under the age of 16 what do you expect lol
I say he is shit because his analysis is very dry and incorrect a lot of the times and feel very rushed and that shows when he uploads a video 10 mins after the game was finished
The way levy personifies the actions of these moves, into like a conversation really helps me understand the thinking behind an attack or defense. And I wish everyone in chess would do it because it's also kinda entertaining
hahaha "you would find a way to blunder a rook in this endgame... and there are no rooks, thats how bad you are". DIED at that, Levy you legend
This killed me - finding a way to hang a rook with no rooks on the board!
@@itsdifficulttocreateaperfe9850 nice, rooms are better than rooks. Always promote to rooms rather than rooks.

Hey levy, this is your best video yet in terms of educational value imo. Can you do more endgames pls? Been watching for a year now, love your stuff.
I was actually thinking the same after watching it just now.
levy reads you a bed time story about magnus carlsen, the guy who was like really good at chess
This is basically what I use this channel for
Correction to 15:43. Tablebase evaluates the position as winning, with a depth to zeroing of 78 halfmoves after which a capture happens and then it's a mate in 11. 50 move rule requires total of 100 halfmoves so there is no draw here with perfect play
What's tablebase
@@sherlockram7335 It's a database of precalculated endgames to see if a certain position is a draw or winning, as long as there are 6 pieces or less on the board, even some with 7 pieces
29:31 I remember watching that game at the time. Carlsen knows he is almost certainly the best endgame player of all time. But he doesn't pretend to any false modesty, and is able to joke about it. Total respect.
11:16 I am so good, that I managed to promote against Magnus, but i don´t understand why I chose a rook.
Stalemate
Sometimes you need to underpromote to a bishop or a rook cause if the pawn becomes a queen or even a rook it sometimes causes stalemate
@@zisischartampilas6601 nope, we tried to be fancy cuz we thought moving the rook next to the king was mate
Levy, what I learned from this video is to focus on my endgames pawn structure bcuz most of my games leads to that since I play aggressive . I went play some matches and I was seeing what you were talking about.
Just came from the chesscom documentary and I didn't notice the cut in the beginning when I first watched this video :)
I really like your style of presenting these endgames, so energetic and genuinely excited :)
Fun fact: Firefighters actually do fight fire with fire. They use a controlled fire around the original fire so that it can’t spread farther.
Oh 😲
They also fire their hose at fire
They fire the fire like you fire an unwanted employee
That was an awesome awesome video and I hope you do more of these kinds of videos: breaking down the tendencies and strengths of the top players! This really highlights Magnus' end-game prowess at a level that we noobs can understand a little bit of, and maybe in the future you can cover other player's strengths and specialties in certain structure/openings?
Absolutely agree! Would like one on Kasparov's Sicilian powers
This is a wonderful video! Love the variety of video concepts you’ve been mixing up recently!
11:15 When he Said "You would Hang a Rook in this Position!! There is no Rook on the board."
I Felt that 😂🥲
I've been interested in chess for like 1 week so I only understand 10% of what is being said, but the tone & delivery really helps me get hyped about the narrative being told here
I caught the latter part of Carlsen-Firouzja live online and the chat was rife with armchair GMs reading off Stockfish lines and saying it was absolutely a draw, no way it could be anything else, right up until the moment the evaluation jumped to +56 or whatever -- and then saying Firouzja "blundered" as if they would have even made it to an endgame against Carlsen. I've always heard people rave about Carlsen's ability to create practical chances in seemingly dead-drawn endgames, and it was cool to watch it happen (though as I recall the fact Firouzja was in severe zeitnot may have had _something_ to do with it as well). I would never in 100 years have thought of returning the king to e5 but it's really the only move that gives black the opportunity to err.
It's interesting to watch because Magnus makes everything so COMPLICATED and that's probably what constitutes the 'Magnus effect' and why the best GM's 'blunders' against him. It's like he turns up the heat and raises the chess difficulty until they make a mistake.
@@NeaEmrys unlike other gms, even when the postitions are drawish, he always keeps putting pressure until the end
Levy, it would be cool if you did a series where each video highlights a player and a few of their games. We often only see highlight games but I think it would be cool to see specific videos devoted to various top-tier players.
Dear Mr. Levy,
I hope that you resume your "recaps" on the super GM tornaments. I love to be up to date with the current happenings of the chess world and you used to provide us with that. You were like the news but you know... Better. And funnier.
Please, please reconsider doing the recaps!
Thank you
Agreed, i only know the super gm games from levy recap
Watch Agadmator when Gotham doesn’t. Agad also goes much further in depth in analysis
Agadmator does that already
No disrespect to adagmator, but Levy is funnier and I preferer my English plain (no russian accent. I'm portuguese, not English).
But I suppose that will follow adagmator then
@@locktherocka252 Agad goes deeper but Gotham explains the good principles of chess while analyzing which actually helps my chess.
For example, in this video Gotham advises to not hang rooks even when there are no rooks on the board. Joking aside, Levy does teach a lot of good principles. Like danger levels, Check capture attack, when to trade, pawn structures, avoiding blunders etc which helped me climb from 700 to 1400 by helping my mid game.
We have seen pawn cubes before, but how about Rook cubes? 35:18
Just want to say, every time Magnus has the opportunity to make en passant in this video, he took it.
This is an amazing videoclip with an excellent selection of games, and beautifully presented. Your delivery is perfect, as is your choice of topic. Congratulations too on your phenomenal success - well-deserved but good to see your emphasis on cooperation as opposed to competition with your YT/Twitch colleagues. Keep up the excellent work.
Video idea: How Karpov kills your ideas - A prophylaxis masterclass
This would be awesome
Nobody’s talking about how Levy passed Agadmator in subs?
#1 on UA-cam now
@Oissev Onos ah
@The Bishop
And “little boat” was first to point it out, so I think you’re the 3rd, so definitely PPL are noticing, mate. 👌
YESSS
literally everyone is talking about it
@@c.221 didn’t see any top comments about it
You need ideas for content: games where a queen is traded for other pieces and pawns and the game is far from over - rare interesting imbalance.
Is this satire?
@@James-vo1ex queen trades for 3 pieces can be equal, 2 rooks for a queen and such.
sometimes queen is weaker than 2 rooks/3 pieces or more
I'm asking if it's satire because Levy has already made a queen sacrifice video?
It's 7 months old, I was confused if it was satire cause he already has a video on it, I play chess lol
Magnus is technically cheating with his photographic memory. I don’t think we’ll ever see an “unedited” human as strong as Magnus again.
Humans in the future will be augmented for sure.
is it proven that he has photographic memory?
@@cruelworld1902 he can remember individual games from ten years ago move by move. It's better than photographic.
Wow!! Great video Levy!! I must say that endgame against Vallejo Pons (which I must say I haven't seen before!) is an absolute masterpiece! Loved it! That's one of the many reasons why Magnus is undoubtedly the absolute boss!! 💪
I have a video suggestion: show a game where Nepo played an overly aggressive opening and won. Then show Magnus defending against that opening and winning also
It'll be incredibly hard to find such games
Immediately after watching this I got inspired and won a blitz game against a slightly higher rated opponent in 93 moves. According to Lichess's analysis engine, the endgame started on move 27 with opposite colored bishops and a roughly equal position
Noticed the cut after the documentary.
15:58
Levy: There are no pawns
Pons: Do I mean nothing to you?
I actually prefer playing all the variations the gms are calculating
When you come round the corner and see you have another peak to climb. That has really explained lot of the end game mastery of Magnus, actually I'm sure it's just a scratch but appreciate your work.
I love when Levy dies the upper torso shuffle as he talks! Great stuff!
Love this type of content, I've learnt more than I expected when considering in-balances.
Here after 136 move wc win against nepo which can now be considered his best end game win
The biggest thing about a mistake isn't how the mistake is made, it's how it's punished. Magnus just punishes every possible mistake
Really enjoyed this video. Endgames are interesting and essential to for any player to understand if they wish to progress their game. Thank you
Absolutely great video and effort by Levy as always, but i also would like to give a honourable mention to Magnus's game vs Jobava at the World Blitz 2019. Understandable that it was a blitz game so it any win in classical will be a more convincing content material corresponding to the title, but Magnus definitely showed his dominance in endgames especially at the highest level of competence.
Lastly, wishing whoever who reads this message the best in whatever you do and appreciate this community Levy brought us.
I HAVE hung a rook in that position, thank you very much!
you're deluding
and you'll still yet manage to do it again

Thanos again: lost to a squirrel girl
Wow, this is the best video I have checked out, you outdone yourself, dude, awesome awesome games, you single handedly elevated Magnus to a NEOLOGISM stature. You chose the best games, you did your homework, presented a lucid, exciting, and interesting lesson on End Games strategies ala Magnus. I know Magnus’ grasp of EG is magnificent but to see it presented this way, all in one video is mind boggling. You did a fantastic job, thanks so so much.
Speaking as a firefighter you do indeed fight fire with fire. But only if you're a professional dealing with forest fires. I wouldn't recommend it for your house.
Examples of this include controlled burns and backburning. In chess analogies a controlled burn would be making a pawn break and trading some bishops before your opponent is able to close the center in an advantageous way. And backburning is when you're being pawn stormed so you sacrifice a piece right in front of your king to double up your opponents pawn structure.
Controlled burning is setting something on fire before it catches on fire by itself. And backburning is setting small fires in the path of a big fire, because of quirks in how big fires behave this can have the effect of making it burn itself out *if you know what you're doing,* even though it seems like a bad idea at first glance.
13:28 I'm proud that Magnus is a member of anarchyChess subreddit.
In a losing position, it's about perfect play and how many traps you set for your opponent.
First time watching this two years later, would love to watch another video like this
This video was really helpful for someone like me who struggles to understand certain endgame concepts. Thank you for uploading this.
Magnus is kinda scary as someone looking from the outside in I can't imagine the pressure facing him head on
Second to last game was insane. The king worked out more than I did in my entire life
King+pawns endgame vs Firouzja in the last Wijk aan Zee tournament was a great showing of Magnus' perseverance.
Tremendous analysis! Thank you so much for your insights into the game of chess.
Magnus does Magnus things n all we can do is to appreciate his brilliancy 🔥🔥
Get magnus on your podcast
Excellent selection, nice analysis!
“I just talked my way into a corner…” this is my quote of the day😂😂 I really enjoy Levy’s videos😂
Makridis the real god of endgames
Watching this video and the whole time I was thinking "dude it must be SO annoying to play against Magnus". That game against Anish... Dear God, that position was so awful that even I felt Anish's sadness.
As always, great vid Levy. Chess UA-cam 🐐

You are very entertaining sir 👏🏿 I sincerely enjoy the "videos " you post I congratulate you for being a member of the younger generation , thank you for extending the interest in centuries long subject of chess , you have done something of emmence importance (in the annuals of time) (I know that sounds dramatic ) to provoke deep thought .... to be more
succinct... thank you sir. Your " videos" are GREAT! THANK YOU 😊 THANK YOU 😊
The posisoning of the pawns matter a lot too. Even if they are overpushed the moment right before is when they are at there strengest. Its very good way to put pressure just dont forget the future and it can be a very dangerous figthing strength. A lot of players dont play perfect not with all the pressure and if you always defend and be super solid. You just push him off the board.
" you would find a way to hang a rook in this position! " made me laugh
Who’s here after game 6?
I was sick for a few days and this video was a nice treat. Very entertaining.
I love these type of videos Levy. Keep it up

slipped his feminine hand into Magnus's pants and smirked. "Are you trying to mate me?" protests Magnus, as Levy blushes, the boyish figure undressed before Magnus.
"Weak tempo play, Levy."
The two kissed, deeply and passionately, and afterwards Magnus places his Rook into Levy's open line." Levy you... You're making my rook lift."

"You would find a way to hang a rook in this position" might very well be my favourite Gotham quote of all time, and there are a lot of them
I think this is so far your best video...just awesome! I think I'm a better chess player just for having watched it.
When Levy says you would hang a rook in this position but you have to prove him wrong and hang 6 queens:
Yes
so who's from the documentary ?
me
We do back burns to remove fuels before fire arrives at the line. We fight fire with fire often 🔥
That first example is such a perfect example of what makes him terrifying in endgames. It’s that “Magnus grind”. Just slowly and methodically changing the position like the tide slowly changes the shoreline.
Magnus's nickname should be Dr Strange for his ability to play the endgame
I would love this to be a series. Like the main strength of every Super GM showcased with real game examples
Another great video Bob! Love your content

11:15, I agree. I would probably find a way to hang a rook
After which personally I would then play the only winning engine backed idea, hang myself
funny enough you do actually fight fire with fire. to prevent wildfires from growing or moving in certain directions firefighters will do "controlled burns" which is where u quite literally burn a specific section of land, so that when the nearby wildfire reaches it hopefully if everything goes right it just moves along the side of the area u burned and not into it. so in terms of fighting wildfires, you actually can do it with fire, not so much regular house or business fires though as those are much quicker and based usually around if there's a good sprinkler system or other preventative measure and not so much an active counter measure like this
