21:50 black QF6 is an amazing move. It's a reverse forced mate. This amazing move literally forces *white* to mate *black*. That is, it creates a situation where white's only legal move is PxQ, checkmating black. I wonder if even the genius of Hikaru Nakamura is sufficient to set up a situation where you force your opponent to checkmate you. Please pause a moment to respect how remarkable that really is. I did not realize a move that bad was even possible.

Abstract: 0:01 - 1:22 - Audience engagement 1:23 - 21:55 - Tells why he quits chess, despite him saying he would quit chess multiple times, apparently due to analyzing a literal game between 400 ELO -players that might play not the best moves due to not properly comprehending advanced and complex chess theory that is extrapolated by international masters (what Levy is btw) and grandmasters or simply not wanting to think or waste time thinking against their low rated opponent. 21:56 - 22:05 - Still doesn't quit chess, and I predict that he will make a video similar to this in approximately one to two weeks, on his cycle of making content. Data supporting claim: For those wondering the days he quit chess (keyword, not times, days): 11/25/2022 (video), 09/03/2023 (video), 12/01/23 (short), and 03/11/2024 (video) [also probably many other times too, for extra clicks yk] Claim: He noticed the trend in whenever he quits chess, or has a clickbaity thumbnail (that may or may not be AI-generated yk?) with tons of brilliant moves, Stockfish game analysis, or blunders; he would get a lot more viewers to watch his content. He used to make up a reason for not quitting chess after explicitly saying so, but now he disregards his title of his thumbnails completely to engage more viewers into thinking an international master whose whole career is built upon chess would quit chess. Unfortunately, as aforementioned, it is a large bait, in which people will watch his whole thing. Author (reason why I am smart): I am a high school student that is decent and making research papers, and am therefore able to properly analyze videos to extrapolate trends. I won't give you my credentials, because I don't want to be doxxed, but just simply put that at the back of your mind whilst reading this.

Awesome with whites opening he was so close to getting a 2800 elo start in opening when white went d4 after that point the next stupid move is to put the knight over the king and the bishop over the queen then move some pawns on the other side and see what black is going to do before you move that knight over the king or the bishop over the queen which is called knight bird reverse and what's so great about playing this theory of mine you can play a whole game like this up to 2000 with really doing anything but defend❤😊

Thinking about some of the stuff in this and how they handle the pieces, if the king and queen had their rules switched but kept the same moves, what would chess look like, like what use would you have for the queen that moves one and how could you use the king to win when it can be checked and checkmated

@alexaneals8194 Ай бұрын

I like playing at the 300/400 level because the game is an adventure every time you play it. Like the time I moved the knight to check the king and fork either the rook or queen and accidentally checkmated the king since the bishop covered the only two square he could move to.

I am pretty new to the game, but have figured out a few things. 1. A. Never give up. B. If I blunder don’t panic and more importantly, don’t try to get revenge …immediately. They’re low rank the too so I just look for their blunder when it havens. 2. Pay attention to your time and the entire board. 3. Play the shit out on of one opening until you ready to move on. For me it’s the London until I get bored with it. 4. Review your matches!
