We don't really know. Chess has only been solved if there are 7 or less pieces on the board. There are 32 pieces in the game, so we probably won't get anywhere near solving chess during this life time. If no moves are played, white is advantageous, because of the first move advantage. We don't know if it's a draw every time, or white should win, or something in between for perfect chess.

The greatest ending to one of the greatest game of chess I've seen

[@vladislavshevchenko634]

Levi ,I feel you I had rotovirus a few times, the symptoms are very similar to food poisoning+ fever, in addition to that it's infectious. It lasts for 3-4 days, without medication there's a real chance of dying of dehydration. All the water you drink hurries back out

[@Akhhhhh6]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!!

[@Andreguayta]

12:15 Levy: I mean it's checkmate in just a few moves The bar: checkmate in 29

[@seelmodge7881]

to be fair, it's mate in 29 if black play the best move, or it's a draw

[@HauntedGrief_Yt]

well you see after 2 or 3 moves it moved to M6 so yeah engine no good trust rozman

[@gabrielamaral978]

in 29 with perfect play

[@adityag9199]

Yeah but a lot of those are probably random checks involving sacrificing every piece

[@Andreguayta]

@@seelmodge7881 well, also has to play the best move to get a faster checkmate

[@SgtJet3]

that ending was perfect. my god. this is why i don't play chess. i would absolutely play like this and I can't handle the embarrassment.

It's funny tho, they can't laugh at you when your already laughing at yourself

I know you’re the top chess creator on earth but man even by your standards this was epic . The amount of sheer entertainment in these 18 minutes was so great . I literally laughed out loud several times . We are all pretty lucky you are a youtuber .

18:18 I always fall into the trap of thinking they will blunder a stalemate.... not even.

[@KCzz15]

They used up all of their Elo in the first dozen moves, and saved absolutely none of it for the remainder of the game.

12:15 "its mate in just a few moves" the eval bar: *M29*

[@Jouwe]

At 5:40 I guess white's plan was to "fianchetto" and take the unsupported pawn and at the same time fork black's king and rook. Then black saw it and moved the rook away from that diagonal as response.

If you open up that your rating range down to 750 where I played regularly, I almost exclusively play the Queens Gambit and I regularly run up against the semi slav defense in maybe 3 games in 20. Now that I've reached the breach the 800 level I am seeing less for some reason

[@flynnbrooks3302]

The worst part is they has 20 minutes left to figure out the ending aswell, 20 whole minutes. For context that like 40 rounds in bed for the average chess grandmaster.

I think I actually learn more about how to play chess by you analyzing these games choc-full of blunders than by the masterful games at the top-level, since you go over all the mistakes made and why they are mistakes

[@heartmint7364]

Just want to add that semi-slav is very popular reply against queen's gambit in 800-ish ratings. Around 1 in 3 player play it

[@tau_628]

Someone should make a chess bot specifically designed to play the worst moves possible and then pit it against itself

[@delta3244]

The game would end in a draw from no capture/pawn move in X turns, or repetition. This is a good idea, but I suspect care would be needed to make the bot select the worst _interesting_ play, rather than just the worst one. (if it were to play only worst moves, I imagine one bot sacrificing its queen for nothing, which the other bot will never take because that would be a good play, and conclude that the game would probably not be that interesting)

[@Peanutsgrowintheground]

Levy could legit strike fear into anyone with that death stare.
