I was absolutely terrified that it would end in a stalemate

As a 400 rated Grandmaster, I can confirm that we indeed make 400 blunders every game.

400's are the most sportsmanlike gentlemen in all of chess. If either player gets any kind of advantage, be it very slight or absolutely gigantic, they always make sure to give it back immediately. They truly understand the spirit maybe not of chess, but of playing a game.

As a 300, this inspires me. Hopefully I can be that good one day.

I think the game not ending in a stalemate is a bigger plot twist than if it did

"Never let them know your next move!" - a 400 Rated Player

That was more fun than a grandmaster battle to a draw any day. Who's agreeing with me?

These two are INCREDIBLE 400s. Some disasterous blunders but also some amazing tactics. Keep at it.

I can't believe a 400 elo player blundered 4000 times in 1 chess game. Truly the Bobby Fischer of our time

I love watching low Elo chess narrated by Levy.

Having GMs play equal positions that arise from crazy low ELO games like this would be neat

i finally feel a sense of superiority as a 600 elo player after watching this video

Levy’s ‘I’m going to be so sneaky’ made me laugh so hard.

Only end a calculation on your opponents turn - that line alone has significantly improved my play. Thanks Gotham.

Dude is literally a gold standard comedian. I laughed so hard during this.

I started really playing only in December 2022 having only known the ways pieces move beforehand. I'm now at 1000 rating and it's still very low of course, but looking at this game it makes me realize that I've gotten quite a bit better, thanks in large part to Levy's content!

Its truly a miracle from the chess gods that White somehow didn't stalemate with 2 Queens and a Rook

Levy's reacton after they make a move or a blunder never gets old.

The only hope I have at chess is knowing that at one time in his life Magnus was a 400 ELO

He made my day saying, 'Meh, I'm going to be sooo sneaky!'

the sequence to win the queen was INCREDIBLE but then blunders the rook instantly 💀

this dude is so consistent at posting videos while having a great community

"what me on a laptop while you do smthg on another tab" I FELT ATTACKED

Congrats to the eval bars and the clocks! Amazing work

You know it's a good match, if you're surprised they don't stalemate in the end

It must be so much fun to be 400, I couldn't predict a single thing about how this game would go 😂

This battle was better then all battles 😭

Your videos never run out of energy man ...... Thoroughly enjoyed this one as well💯💯

3:50 “Mehh, I’m gOiNg to bE So SnEAKy” Levy Rozman - 2023

As a 400, I can confirm that this is a normal occurance 😅

"PP on the PP" is golden😂

8:23 i use youtube premium lool

I appreciate how enthusiastic Levy was about getting hit by a car at 12:53

Levi calls us out every single time and is always right! How did he know I was watching on a laptop and on another tab

As a 400 elo player, my biggest problem is trying to do quick moves instead of stopping to look for a move

this playlist is some of the most entertaining chess content ever created. Shout-outs to the people submitting their videos; thank you for sharing these spectacular games with the world.

"It's like when you cross the street, you don't look, you get hit by a car! BOOM! BOOM!" - Levy Rozman, 2023

The fact that Anil avoided stalemate at the end is the most surprising thing among all. Guys, the Italian pogchamps 2 days ago featured one of the greatest low elo games of all time

I'm really sad that in hungary we don't have theme parks, but fortunately Levy regularly puts me onto an emotional rollercoaster

As a 300 rated GM I aspire to obtain this level of skill

One thing I really like about low elo games is that at any given moment, the match can end in a stalemate, it always keeps that thought in the back of your mind of "when will it happen?"

The stare was immaculate today, truly soul burning stuff 8/10

“MEH IM GONNA BE SOOO SNEAKYY” had me rolling bro

"You should have ran to the corner" *Forgets it is mate in one*

I was so waiting for a stalemate at the end because as levy says 400s somehow find a way to make the game equal 😂

bro really said "run an ad" and Grammarly popped up on my screen out of nowhere (8:21)

Levy is such a great story teller, he’s really making chess exciting for the average person

I kind of had a game like this yesterday which reminds me why I WAS still only 670. Having fallen for the oldest trick in the book with the fast bishop with queen checkmate because I wasn’t concentrating and thought I’d try something different, I was still thinking about my last game and ended up making a mess in a game like this that I should have won. You get a lot of this down at 600 so a lot of my wins tend to be come back wins as I get attacked early but usually don’t worry because often those strategies create weaknesses for themselves if I can carefully navigate through without losing more pieces than I have to (eg accept I’ve lost my bishop and take a pawn just to further weaken them when I’m trapped). Eventually my defence is ok but they’ve left their king vulnerable and spaces I can exploit later (if I get that far 😂).

new chess player here: went from 400 to 1200 pretty fast and the advice "dont end the calculations on your turn, instead on your opponets turn" sounds like good thought and ill use that next time. cheers

tbh well done by both off them. This game had some incredible tactics and ideas. Also thanks for the always finish calculation on your opponents move. Thats gonna be really helpfull

Watching this was like edging, without planning on finishing

The "ya you know" had too much emotion😂😂😂😂

That bit about ending calculations on your own turn was pretty helpful (for a 400 like myself). 👍🙂

Sounds like my games everyday

I was terrified of a two queens stalemate, but it didn't happen, also that ladder mate with the queens on b6 and d8 with a rook on c7 makes me very happy, thats a pretty checkmate, the only way to make it better would've been having the king on a5

When he brought up the fight analogy, it reminded me of when I, 120 lbs, fought a 6ft, 285lbs person.

4:59 "uuu-weee slingshot bew-be" - leevi rizzleman 2023

for 400s they actually found some good tactics

"YOU DON'T LOOK YOU GET HIT BY A CARRR!!!" is my favorite moment in this video🤣

Great vid 👌 But could you probably make a video about the berlin defense Because i am searching for a e4 counter play and you and hikaru said in your tierlist that its the best answer

The stare today made my heart skip a beat. Not because i got scared. But because i saw love in the first sight. 10/10

When in a movie two masterminds are playing they should be playing this as a easter egg 😂

Honestly props to everyone who sends in games for these

"Mieh, I'm going to be so sneaky" made me laugh so hard

18:51 2 Queens and a ROOOOOOOOOK

The greatest plot twist in this video was that it didn't end in stalemate.

OK, but this intro was so nice... the analogy, the passion 😆 Well done again Levy!

Levy, if you see this, you’re the GOAT of KZfaq and you’re doing God’s work. Deadass. I have been in a really bad period of depression following a super stressful divorce I didn’t want. I found your channel shortly after this happened and after working all day I found myself watching your videos and for a brief moment, I was super entertained and happy, laughing and forgetting about how shitty life was. You renewed my interest in chess and I met someone who also loves chess and now we laugh together and watch all your videos when they drop. You literally changed my life. Like I said, God’s work my dude. Love you bro, hope to shake your hand one day!

The most evenly-matched game of chess ever played. It was such a beautiful battle it's like a work of art. I love everything about it.

i love how levi talks so much before starting the actual video but it makes the video even better

This match was the most electrifying thing in sports entertainment today

What a suspenseful game. So many different plot twists haha

It's unbelievable how intense the ending was. I was literally more hyped than during game 6 of Magnus vs. Nepo. Just love for the content

He certainly can be a voice over actor with that line, "I'm going to be so sneaky"

This was insane. (And i haven't even watched this. Your level of quality is great.)

10:32 PP on the PP…👀

“pp on the pp, if you will” -Levi

hahahahaha this narration is perfect man. Very valuable and entertaining video. Good job man!

I just love how he always mentions that there is someone not actually WATCHING the video..... And he's right.... I just play games on my phone while listening. It's the best podcast, just with one person.

this is the content that we want levy❤

I remember one chess game I played helping a friend: - Bishop attacks d8 Queen - Queen runs to a5 - Pawn pushes to b4 - Queen retreats back to d8 and forgets Bishop existed Aah prime chess right there. :D

Me when I’m losing an argument “Run an ad”

Come for the chess...stay for Levi's play by play...always a classic move!

I know you can become a GM levy, we are all supporting you! :)

Lowkey was expecting a stalemate at the end

I'm still laughing at the battle between 5 pawns vs a king and bro decided to send pawns to King Bruce Lee one by one 💀

Levy seems like he’s ready for chessboxing against Andrea botez during that intro 😂

10:22 😅😂🤨

“When your opponent is creating a threat to your position, the best thing to do is to panic and basically lose the game on the spot.” -Bobby Fisherman and Garry Gas-Part-Of

These are BY FAR my favorite gotham videos. A masterpiece.

Levy's gaze at the beginning is so stunning, it blew my mind The way he looked, it drew me in Elegant, serene, a mesmerizing spin Behind his glasses burned a fire A passion deep, a wild desire To hold me close, to never let go And in his eyes, a love did grow I'll never forget that moment in time When his stare did make my heart chime For in that gaze, I saw a love so true A love that only he and I knew.

Cant wait for 2700 elo chess. 2700 mistakes.

Even though I'm 492 ELO, I'm still laughing at how stupid those last moves were

finally reached 700+ thanks to your videos and shorts thank you man

3:44 pearl of the video

1:06 HOW DID YOU KNOW!?!??!

As a youth like you Levi, I was small in stature and that didn't bode well in a tough Mississippi River town. I got tired of being pounded so I started to fight back and got good at it. Later, after a career that included bar fights and brawls with opposing gangs, in the early 1960's, I discovered a group in the lower Eastside of Manhattan called the Catholic Worker Movement and met a fine women named Dorthy Day and a bunch of other dedicated individuals. It was there I learned about non-violence in the search of Justice, and my fighting career took an abrupt turn. A decade ago I returned to playing chess after a 50 years of doing a lot of other things, and am enjoying the "brawling" aspect...aware that I need some work on the finer points. I check in with you most every day, and very much enjoy your open mindedness and enthusiasm. So thanks for your commentary and my plans are to sign up for your middle game course when my schedule lightens a bit.

3:50 my demon in my sleep paralysis in 3 am

To be honest, they play better than me. I literally blunder for 1000 times.

Fun fact: I was watching this video before going under anesthesia, and right now im finishing it right after getting out of surgery 🤞
