Game Review would call this one exhilarating

"if you lasted 7 minutes, good for you that's longer than average" that went completely under the radar

Being completely honest, I am surprised this game didn't end in a stalemate lol

A3/a6 is actually a brilliancy in low elos. It gives ur opponent another move to blunder the game away

Seeing Levy with a tank top is like seeing John Mulaney without a suit.

The game could be summarised in the sentence : " I should've played that move earlier "

Levy: Don't go backwards Also Levy: He saw that knights can go backwards this is at least 2 1700s

This game would not be this exciting without your commentary, it's really fun to watch your content

Shame that this video has to get demonitised for promoting your guns in the opening smh.

Levy getting swole, bout' to make the chess community act up.

"Whenever you have a checkmate, look for a better one" - Simp Tzu, the Art of Chess

256th day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan: "Sto chiammann a polizij"

Not sure which is worse: The way these two people slugged it out like Godzilla and King Kong having a too-drunk-to-stand-up-straight bar fight, or the knowledge that they're both still better at chess than me.

Me: Playing a chess match, thinking I made no mistakes and no blunders Stockfish: You made 20 blunders and 34 mistakes Edit:Omg I did not think I would get this many likes. Thank You :)

Honestly, besides all the basic tactics, white's pawn play for the kingside attack deserves a lot of credit, completely punishing the Bd6 Be7 maneuver

These videos are so fun to watch because I get to compare it to my games and see that there's always someone who blunders more

If I had a dime for every crappy london in gotham recaps, I'd have 4 dimes. Which isn't that much its just weird that it happened 4 times.

Blunders are inherent to complex positions. Korchnoi blundered a whole piece against Bobby in the KID. A true phenomenon.

0:28 Is it just me or is his right arm a lot stronger than his left?

Try to beat Martin, but every other move you make has to be the worst possible move for that situation. I call it the Slaking defense

"Chaos on all three sides!!" Wow, what a game. I've played this kind of death spiral game. You review it after and wonder how your stupid self manages to get through life without forgetting to breathe. Love the series! Thanks for the entertainment!

That ending was wonderful, never in my entire chess life, have i seen something so beautiful! Thanks Levy for this :)

When you mate with pawn, your elo rating goes up by 2000 instantly

Levy has mastered the art of making ordinary games appear extraordinary through his commentary!

“So if you’ve lasted 7 minutes, good for you. That’s longer than average”

0:30 Levy is way more muscular than I would of thought.

Chess at 1 am be like: but seriously, I sometimes do play at midnight, and it often ends with bots sides missing mates 5 times and have 10 blunders

Not gonna lie, the fact that white ended up with 7 pawns in the endgame is actually impressive

I lasted 7 minutes into the game, and Levy said it was above average, but then the pawns kept "coming, coming, coming". Story of my life. Meh.

"In chess, the two most important things are material and kings safety" Chess engines: S P A C E

They call me 007. 0 Brilliant moves 0 Best moves 7 Blunders

I love how I can tell I'm actually getting better at chess by watching these videos. The moves that Gotham refers to as bizarre top engine moves are literally the first things I think about. Thanks Gotham for helping me get better whether it be opening videos or just talking tactics.

I love it when you explain the best stockfish move and then bring us to reality: "The best move here for black is to move the rook, to pin the pawn to create a classic triangle." But obviously it didn't happen, so instead black moves the queen and hangs mate in one! "🤣🤣🤣

Got my first ever brilliancy earlier today before immediately blundering a rook. Thanks for the content!

When you pause the game and actually predict the right move

These games are some of my favourite ones to watch! Nice series, keep up the good work!

The fact these videos are just so entertaining 😂

That was a nice mate. I recognize my own blunders here: first, missing a free piece because you are following a prior plan of attack, and then forgetting your prior plan of deflection/promotion because your secondary plan (connected passed pawns) was attacked. It slips your mind that the secondary plan was itself a deflection. It's very difficult to keep various lines of attack present and organized in your mind so as to see their intersection and the weak points within the position. Once you start weaving these plans together, you will find the beauty in complexity, or, in other words, become a conspiracy theorist. It is important to note that, while your opponent may not actually be conspiring at the same level, it is safest to assume it is so, and so protect yourself.

White king: "Fuck I'm just gonna do this shit myself"

Checkmate with pawns and a king is legendary. Brilliant move.

Hey Levy I know you won’t see this but I just got to 1600 rapid today all because of your videos. Thanks for the help love the content

I actually loved this, especially the endgame. When in doubt, just bring your king.

Never laughed this hard watching chess. That evaluation bar was going mental and eventually gave up because the CPU blew up !

The King walk up the board and the Pawn mate was the one redeeming moment of this otherwise remarkably, geniusly bad game

From "I'm calling the police" to "This is not a clickbait" levy came a long way 🤡

I love these reviews, the commentary is phenomenal, I was so scared the game would end in a stalemate

That pawn checkmate more than made up for all of white’s blunders. Absolutely beautiful

I love how the Stockfish eval bar in these kinds of games moves up and down like a music player's visualizer 😂😂

No one makes chess funnier and enjoyable than you do. Love your content Levy

This game it´s not so bad. Similar to my attacking games. I feel proud of my game, I turn on the analysis, 5 inaccuracies, 3 mistakes, 2 blunders, one opportunity lost

Edit: upon further inspection, I saw the king could go to F7. Though forcing him out like that seems like a very good idea nonetheless, for instance QG6 check. King’s only legal move is E7. Since I’m not that good at chess I can’t find very many moves after that, but I see it could possibly be beneficial. During the endgame, where Black’s king was stuck in the top right corner of the board, I noticed QH7. Obviously, in an actual match i was playing I wouldn’t have a hope in hell without taking at least 1 minute to eventually find it. But, then I noticed that stockfish didn’t register that as a mate in one. And I’m very confused why. Because, QH7 is defended by the bishop in D3, if the queen were to move to H7, there are no pieces or moved to remove check, therefore making checkmate. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s actually counted as a great/brilliant move if the engine itself doesn’t see it. But if it isn’t then I know nothing about chess.

Love the Smile at the end, really encapsulates the energy. that said, thank you for explaining what the best moves where and why, really helps.

LEVY AS SOON AS YOU FLEXED I PAUSED THE VIDEO AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE COMMENTS FOR THIS WHICH I NEVER DO. YOU'RE LOOKING ABESOLUTY YOLKED, good job brother

oh he is gonna finally arrest himself, he s also wearing orange prison clothes, already prepared!1 That's why I like levy.

18:02 a funny line (it's a blunder if black takes your rook first but run with it) for white here would be taking the bishop on d7 with the pawn - oh no my queen, rook takes rook check, king goes to h7 and then bishop g8 king h8 is forced, bishop f7 with discovery from the rook and after the king goes to h7 again - bishop g6 which would be mate but there's a queen defending but you still win the queen and are up an exchange and soon a full rook once you promote on d8 and the bishop on g5 is forced to sac itself

So many blunders, my man levy came out of bathtub....

11:50 As a fellow 900 rated palyer, I only perform mating attacks on my girlfriend.

You may agree or not but this game was really a level above 900. The moves they played( especially white ) to allow the pawns to be pushed is appreciable. They were playing like 1300-1400.

I really enjoy these kind of game reviews, it's really exciting and you show good alternate strats, thank you Levy 🙌

At around that level, it sometimes takes multiple moves to view the whole board.

Hi! I just wanted to say you're awesome and I appreciate all the effort and consistency you put into this channel. Thanks!

Good content and jokes as always

Levy vs Eric chess boxing confirmed.

The pawns start coming and they don't stop coming

The fact that this game stayed equal for 11 minutes without any major blunder is actually quite rare in this series, those guys have hope in chess.

11:25 8:41 quick jump from one to another

5:00 it's called "Centralizing the Queen"

Watching this video while listening to Ecruteak/Cianwood theme from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal is another level of chess therapy

“They can’t get any closer in rating” Me playing another 2241:

Dayyymmmnnnnnn 1st

My opponent also tried to win the game "in style" by under-promoting all 6 of his pawns. They stalemated.

Takes a lot of time and experience to make GREAT blunders.

10:00 I'd pull my queen or bishop back to try to reroute and attack the e4 pawn rather then castle. Castling looses momentum, also moving the Queen to a safer diagonal would flat out be better then castling. When Castling would have been better sooner, black's position is trash right now and can be opened up just with a few pawn moves. With Queen on E4 no piece can attack it then you can pawn f5. When you can't take the bishop behind, if Black takes you take back. You sorta pin the queen from moving till the bishop does and if it doesn't you can also set up to threaten A8 rook trade with pawn A5. If black lets your queen to c6 they also queen trade as well as an even worse position. I'd Castle other why to stop rook checks.

Those 900s need to go confess to a priest after this shit.

"Welcome back to the Gotham City zoo?" It looks like you just came back from being a part of the zoo with that tank top.

Blunders are my best friend. I see them in every game I play

Stockfish said I had 3 missed wins 11 blunders and alot of mistakes and somehow it looked like I was getting checkmate but he managed to make it a stalemate! He had a queen and two rooks I had no other pieces left except a pawn that is blocked with another pawn

The evaluation bar has won ‘funniest inanimate object of the year’ award

I got so hyped when you mentioned chess boxing but then you crushed my spirit

"This is not a clickbait!" is the best clickbait I've seen so far lmao

this reminds me of a game i played last night were my opponent only had a king and wouldnt resign, so i promoted to a knight and stalemated.

"Coming coming coming down the side of the board". That was why I was thrown out of the playing hall.

Levy siting in an orange top tank looks like he is about to listen "raining man". Awesome

Makes sense. He was looking for that "Pawn Checkmate" for a Rosen Trophy!

“So normally I wear fancier clothing, like a $5 sweater”.

“ the pawns start coming and they don’t stop coming”

Levy: Don't go backwards. Ben Finegold: Always retreat! Hmmmm

interesting line at the beninging, what if queen moves, pawn takes queen takes then queen takes?

absolutely BEAUTIFUL checkmate with a pawn, i laughed so hard at that

My friend and I actually played a game where the objective was to get checkmated by the other person. It was absolute chaos but so much fun 😂

that game was such an anime fight i'm dying

That pawn checkmate was pretty nice TBF

The video says "This is NOT clickbait" but this is how many blunders I get per game. idk how to feel anymore

When you have mate in 2, always look for a better move.

I LOVE THE END WITH THE CHECKMATE WITH THE PAWN

“the pawns will not stop coming… and we’re coming coming coming down the side”

I am so glad that this game didn't ended in a stalemate. Someone actually won 😂😂.

i was really hoping after white started to bring the king that someone would run out of time, but the real ending was good too

that is a very stylish finish you've got to hand it to em

won a game with 2 seconds on the clock
