ah, the famous Botez gambit...

Maybe if I were writing it

*It's a canon event*

True. It has its own Chapter in the book "Mistakes in chess and how to avoid them"

the 100-rated gambit

Or just an opponent who didn't get white pieces, or even just anyone of the 80% of players who start E4. It's hard to not get at least a couple more book moves out of king's pawn.

pretty sure that was the point

If the opponent played E4 instead of E3 the defense with the knights and pawns would've been book moves right? The only reason that they became non-Book moves was that E3.?

The problem with this is that Simp have literally completed no capture challenges, so it kinda makes this challenge redundant

@@smippycis6285cant continue with book moves if one player already ended theory. The queen move wasnt a book move, therefore everything after that, also isnt a bookmove

Why yes, that is indeed what makes these videos funny.

This 100 rated guy seems careful enough to have avoided many queen blunders up to that point.

​@@mingyue_chenwait did he blunder the queen at last Wasn't he trading queens

@@mohsinabdulshukur there was nothing defending his queen

@@mohsinabdulshukur It is a blunder. After white takes black queen, black has nothing to take back, no?

Why do 100s open with e3 anyway? Surely they are not actually trying to play the Van Kruijs opening, and it's not to play Qh5 Bc4 etc. because you can do that after e4. Is it just because they're afraid of blundering the pawn on e4?

@@NYKevin100 Maybe they aren't trying to play a particular opening. They just pick out an available move in the position (which in the case happens to be the starting position) that they feel like playing at that moment.

​@@NYKevin100they're stupid

​@@chesscomsupport8689if you want the thought process behind that move: 1. they wanted to get the queen out 2. they dont want anyone to play any confusing openings like the caro kann or the scandi, so e4 is off the table 3. they're scared that if their pawn goes too far they'll forget about it and it'll be captured, so keeping it close prevents the opponent from actually attacking it 4. the concept of tempo is entirely foreign to them so if they ever need to move it to e4 they absolutely can and will never consider that they should've just done that from the start 5. they have seen it work maybe twice before, and are sure that the opening is fine and doesn't need to change

​​@@NYKevin100I'm almost 100% sure that they play it because they think it's a safe move. You are not opening your position and your pieces are all underdeveloped, so the opponent can't do much. Most rookies play like that when they are learning. My mother used to play this same opening when I was teaching her. She would play 1.e3 or 1.d3 every time she got white.

And then he chose violence twice, tragic

I wouldn't mind a visit from the cat though.

alternatively, you sometimes get something like: simp: *pends a good while explaining a really complicated sequence of moves* opponent: *does exactly as simp said they would, probably following a much simpler plan* simp: "they saw it"

Also a good give away is when he tries out something risky for the challange and says something like "there is an obvious mate in 10 moves if they take this piece/pawn"

See I just feel like I've started to get a feel for the 100s. I can sense the random blunders before they happen

Book is a form of recording. Not the long text itself

Oldest books were written on leather.

@@martinmarkov9707 Velum doesn't count, it's gotta be paper.

Oldest book of which we have confirmed the existence of.

@@PelicanOfDeath what a ridiculous thing to say. a book painted on a cave wall or drawn on animal skins or carved into a pad of wax or drawn on the skin of a storyteller or stored in a magnetized strip or emitted in pulses of light is just as much a book as one written with ink on paper. you would have us discount thousands of years of stories simply because they were not recorded in a medium YOU personally deem legitimate.

Probably jump-scared simp as well, since it took less than 3 seconds for him to do it

I agree ☝🏻.

Alright, so I'm not alone haha

You ain't anti-spoiling anything

That's because he isn't a coward!

It was a WTF move, but with no "WTF". I think it was a really good ending.

A book move is just an opening theory move.

I think it's like Don't argue with an idiot because they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience Though your's was very close

If it worked often, they wouldn't be 100 rated

Simp decided that only one capture was allowed during the game, and the enemy had already captured a pawn. Capturing the queen would mean making a second capture

WTF is this comment?
