Levy's type of content: 1. Magnus 2. I want to be a GM 3. I'm done with chess

That white rook was the John Wick of chess killing 40 points off the board

In a group project, that rook is the group member that ends up doing 99% of all the group work.

Kazem: My army of queens will beat you! Daniel: I don't need an army, I just need a rook.

Kramnik: I believe anyone would find this 400 interesting

Kazem is like that one really powerful villain who loses because they were too arrogant

Even Magnus hasn't taken 3 Queens and 2 Rooks with the same Rook.

Dude either threw the game for rating, or his cat was stepping on his keyboard.

"You will checkmate by accident" / *Gives up another queen*

levy never fails to change the title

When Kazem is old enough to read someone send him a copy of practical chess endings.

Bro that rook also took his bank account's savings and proceeded to sell the black kings soul to the devil

Only way a 400 gets 100% accuracy is if his opponent resigns after move 1

Old title: 400 elo. 100% accuracy

I wonder if someone is able to check on a database if this is the record most number of points of materials captured by a single piece.

My bad y’all, I’m Dan…

We went from sacrificing the rook to everything to sacrificing everything to the rook, this is real development to the gothamchess meme lore

That rook deserves to be made into a gold monument or something.

"Once these folks get tired of rubbing against each other..."

When levy actually quits chess, no one will believe the title.

"they are 400, it's a miracle they know how to load up a ranked match on game" -Me, a 200 elo laughing.

1:27 "Both players get GM titles because they were featured in a GothamChess video" Levy, you are in every video and still not a GM.

Levy love your videos mainly your recap videos I enjoy them the most. I have seen you recapping games of some historical chess figures I highly enjoy those videos It'll be fantastic if you recap some of José Raúl Capablanca's fantastic games and give us some positional chess tips in the process . Yes, I know you did some games of Capablanca but, Capablanca weren't the protagonist. I would love you to recap one of his best games. Also I recommend you making the video after vacation so you can enjoy your vacation and also the voice doesn't sound weird much appreciated ❤

Levy never fails to pretend to quit more times than we can count

When the last remaining player carries the whole team.

And he sacrificesss........ HIS RATINNGGGG!!

That rook became Thanos himself "I am inevitable" 💀💀💀

Levy when runs out of ideas: I quit.

what is so stunning to me is that these players are better than 97% of the world at chess

Levy never fails to title a KZfaq video: I'm done. Goodbye

The rook is plot armor incarnate

That "get outta here" sounded like he was about to cry

Wow, the rook went from being the sacrificial offering to the GOAT 😂

oh my god that rook is a murderer, taking 40 points of heavy pieces

1:26 - He is probably Persian which is live in Turkey cause in Turkish written like "Kazım" (used to be Kâzım). Here's little unnecessary info : Kazem (also spelled Kadim, Kadhem, Kadhim, Kazim, Qazim or Cathum; written in Arabic: كاظم, in Persian: کاظِم) means "tolerant", "forgiving", and "having patience" is an Arabic male given name. And he forgive his opponent by giving all queens back to Daniel.

I recently got into chess and I’m about 250 elo which I know is sad but the point is that even I can’t believe how bad this game was. Seriously painful to watch and I’d like to think I don’t screw things up that badly haha

that rook wasnt just a rook after this HE WAS HERCULES HIMSELF , i was bawling when it took the 3rd queen🤣🤣🤣

Probably the single most valuable rook in the history of chess, congrats dan!

this was a 10 min game.. my bullet elo is trash at one point 400 . I have never came across an opponent who gave away the game like that , even in bullet 3 seconds left ..

I’m 345 and this still baffles me. like I’m dumb and have been playing for less than a month but like this is wild

Levy never fails to be done every few days

This game literally made me cry and if I was on vacation and I saw this, it would ruin my vacation too😭😭

17:18 because dan thought that kazem moving to d1 would put his rook in trouble by attacking it in f3 and if he tries to attack the h3 rook it can take the queen. Also f3 is check

These type of recaps get me through life sometimes

Levy never fails to overdramatise a standard beginners' game 😅😅😅

Gotham never fails to say he's leaving

Other chess pieces: the game is lost The rock: I’ll do it myself

Levy you can’t tell me not to play e4 e5 d4 when you have a video on that position titled “TRIPLE PAWN SACRIFICE”

Levy: ROAD TO GM!!! Also Levy: I'm done. Goodbye.

KZfaq video never fails to 400 Levy: title ACCURACY, 100% ELO!!!

That's a bloodthirsty rook for you. 😂😂😂😂😂

That rook is not the boogeyman, that rook is what you sent to kill the boogeyman.

That rook was a god, other pieces can only look in fear lmao

That "get out of here" was so genuine

That rook sure was MVP. That's entire army's worth of points.

That rook took revenge of the sacrifices of its brethren

First although i love this kind of videos i have warched you now for about a year was 200 elo and now 1400 elo my dream is to be like you like in your level so keep it going and i am sure that you will be a gm fr you are now better than some gms

I am going to be looking out for you in Amsterdam would love to play a chess match against the one and only!

I'd stand on a desk and "O, Captain, my Captain" for Dan

Gms say tension is good so they held tension

Every time Levy makes a video about a 400 rated player, I am thinking “omg, what if it is me?” in the back on my mind 😂 I want it to happen some day 😂

Oil up Levy

At this point, I was expecting a stale mate

There's THE ROOOOOOOOOK! And then there's _The_ Rook. Holy Capablanca

That rook is the Randy Orton of chess pieces.

He Sacrifices Checkmate at the hands of The Immortal Rook.....Are you serious the rook took 40+ points of material, I have never seen something like this. It's just painful to watch.

Yesterday I've made my first briliant move in a chess game, so as a proud amateur 700 elo Dutchman, Levy.. I can say thank you for you videos!

13:38 If You take on g2 (Qxg2+), Bishop on b7 can take it back (Bxg2). But with a 400 Elo, they may move King to h4. I think he wanted to emphasize that people of low Elo may have tunnel vision as well as missing diagonal vision (Qf2 will be checkmate if c5 Bishop was not there but that is easily noticeable). Bishops controlling long diagonals (esp when a pawn is in the way) is easily missed by those below 1000 Elo (own experience). Above 1000 Elo it is one way of winning a game (discovered attacks as in this game; 9:42).

Find us a game where one person played like a GM, the opponent played dumber than Martin, the Martin sudden turns into Stockfish, brutally crushes the GM’s hopes & dreams of winning, & then before giving mate in 1, the Martin resigns.

levy never fails

When two great minds comes together, the result is always incredible.

That room needs an MVP award

Levy we need this this type of game review as a newcommer of chess. Inspired by you❤❤ Love your content

"Hi done, I'm also Dan"

It's 1:51 AM in Egypt but I will still watch you

Levy's timeline: "I'm done with chess... bye... until next time... MAGNUS.... It's over... I'm quitting... mAGnuS.... THE ROOOOKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!"

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved to follow the world Chess championships. The very first chess championship was in 1886 and was won by an American named Steinitz. To kind of compare the first world series in baseball was 1903. The first super bowl in football was 1967. Chess has been around a lot longer and has had a lot more history than all of our favorite sports now. And chess is a legitimate world championship. When the Cold War came along, the USSR, and then later to be known as Russia began to dominate the world Chess championships. That all changed for only one year when Bobby Fischer in 1972 won the world championship from the Soviet Union. There were all kinds of crazy politics and the chess match actually had to happen in Iceland. In 1996, history was made when the computers became stronger than humans in chess. The first time was a world famous match between world champion. Gary Kasparov and IBM's deep blue. Today the computers are even stronger. Along with the rise of computers though, kids are becoming stronger and stronger at chess at earlier ages. There was a young player from Norway at the age of 13 was able to achieve a draw against Gary Kasparov. His name is Magnus Carlson. During the game, Magnus actually had the advantage but playing it safe, accepted the draw. Magnus Carlson went on to become one of the best endgame players, and is a master at converting games that should not be won into wins. 2 years ago, Magnus Carlson was faced against this player, who early on in his career had been caught cheating. Anyways, this guy known for cheating beats Carlson. This whole conspiracy thing about this guy cheating in chess got pretty deep. So in another tournament, Carlson was faced with the same guy and resigned on the first move and pulled out of the tournament. Carlson then decided not to defend his world championship. So now we're back to the Cold War. The current world champion is from China. I believe his name is Ding Liren. On the women's side of the world Chess championship, it's held by a Chinese woman, and another Chinese woman won the candidates tournament. So either way, on the women's side, China is going to win. But now this is where history is being made. In the early 2000s, Anand from India won the world championship. I played online chess, against people from everywhere and they always show the flag of what country they're from. Chess in India became super popular, after Anand from India won. A good majority of my online matches are against people from India. So history was made again because a 17-year-old from India won the candidates tournament. D. Guckish is the youngest player ever in the history of Chess to play for the world championship. So along with the rise of the computers, online games, youtube; the strength of young kids playing chess has also increased. It's kind of a fun subject. I've been playing chess for 44 years, played in big classical tournaments, played thousands and thousands of games online. But in my last big tournament, I won a game against a super strong player. But in the tournament I lost a game to 12 year old girl.

That rook was equivalent to Superman walking head first into danger knowing he can't be beaten

watching these video make me happy becuase im not the only one who blunders a piece every time i breath

What i saw : "400 Elo, 100% accuracy " What it is : "I am done. Goodbye. "

Instead of making the 3rd queen, if he brought down the rook to E2, check and forcing white to move king to G/H1 You would have a mate by promoting the pawn into a queen

That rook reminds me of Glen Maxwell from Australia in their World Cup match against Afghanistan. 😂😂😂

Hey Gotham, I have a game that id like to submit for how to lose at chess. 650 Elo. White had +5 then blundered again and again until black had M1 on the board. Black went for an endgame and had a rook and 4 connected passed pawns and white just had kind and rook. White won. Typical 600 elo craziness. How do I submit it?

Stockfish

Levy never fails to be kidnapped

A 400 match has players making all sorts of mistakes, and then the content producer has his “vacation ruined”? Is he having a mental issue?

Hey Levy you should collab with Hans Niemann I think it would be really funny like imagine if you guys kissed or something it would be good content

Thubtitle made me click ..better not be click bait

5:02 they're not blundering. They're just keeping the tension

I feel like trying out every established opening in chess, just to drop back to that level to have that kind of fun, playing such bad chess. And I can do it too; I'm only 600 Elo at the moment.

Fun Fact: levy will never be a grandmaster!

Gotham is so desperate.

That rook: *is hanged* That rook: so I took that personally

Levi is speechless 'cause this game showed him the full power of the Rook. I guess we won't hear "SACRIFICE THE ROOOOOKK" anymore..

No views 15 seconds Gotham fell off

Clickbaiting and changing the titles for views, shame.

That white rook had an LMG lol

Dude had me thinking he ate a moon brownie not remembering he’s in Amsterdam hahaha

I hope you had a good time on kingsday Gotham! I met you quickly in The Hague, but I didn’t want to intrude on your free day with Lucy. If you get the chance I would recommend trying some of the orange pastries sold in almost all bakeries through the Netherlands, like the orange tompouce. 👍🏼
