[@gengarvenom1180]

Let me add my input as an 800 myself. Usually, when you miss a hanging piece for a few turns, you become obligated not to take it because taking it admits that you didn't see it, and you can't have your opponent thinking that you're dumb. Now you might be thinking, "but wouldn't that make the opponent look dumb as well?" I hope this was insightful.

Really? I've studied multiple openings both with black and white since I was around 600 elo.

@@LukeHuber Do NOT do this. You may have heard this too many times, but attempting the scholar's mate every time doesn't improve your chess game at all, and it immensely helps to study at LEAST a few different openings.

"like scapegoats in yugioh" man I love this guy's references XD

[@tarned7458]

It's one of those games where we just give normal uncalculated checks and all of sudden it's checkmate

[@Jake-jy5pq]

“now queen h8 is one of the worst moves i’ve ever seen in my life” 😂😂😂 had me CRYING

[@7gi_]

That rook was the missing piece in the wooden chess set that they replaced with a steel rook so the bishop couldn't take it.

[@matieking]

How to win games below 1000 elo: 1: make sure your king has room to move 2: play fast 3: win on time as no one can facilitate a mate.

[@darcss6583]

I am like an 900 ish player and i cant stop laughing at how they dont take the pieces for so many moves, pls keep these videos up

[@sandaler25]

Seeing this makes me feel like a GM, at least IM. All that remains is to get my rating up from 800

[@JIKwood]

Same here except I'm down at 400

[@Nai_101]

I just got to 900

[@sandaler25]

Sweet guys!! Just keep grinding. We'll get there eventually 🤞🏻 Well, down at 400 maybe not that good, but there is still light in the tunel. Just remember, if you do not know what to do, just push the h pawn. I've seen magnus do it a lot🤞🏻

[@kaischreurs2488]

I think the bigger blooper than getting called in the middle of recording is revealing that you still use skype.

[@FIFAmusicMAN]

“Like scapegoat in Yugioh” the crossover we need

[@rgderen88]

Oh, go watch him narrate a 300 game, one of the players tries to assemble the five chess pieces of Exodia

[@LegendShift]

For my next move I equip my Rook with FAIRY METEOR CRUSH!

[@rgderen88]

@@LegendShift 0/10, Big Bang Shot is strictly better.

15:03 I'm always happy that i clicked on a Gotham Chess video 😀

[@napobg6842]

Love how that pawn went on a hopeless adventure but in the end it really became a queen. What a powerful and beautiful story with unfortunate ending

[@c__fly]

best part about this video, Levy's chess coach still insists on using Skype in 2021

[@rgderen88]

*waves hand at Discord* *waves hand at Teams* *Hell, waves hand at ZOOM*

[@kettern4719]

Best part is, I paused the video because I thought I was called xD

[@rgderen88]

@@kettern4719 Yeah, I thought work was calling me in Teams lmao

[@awesomejulianpro]

with that ringtone out of nowhere I thought I was getting called lol

[@JoshuaBlackmon-pf6xf]

Kevin made a puzzle mate at the end, beautiful

[@nilsrain]

I've watched dozens of your games between pros, I think I like this better. Despite their many missed opportunities, they both play on gamely after losing important pieces, the end game was very interesting, lots of drama. Please do more of these.

[@sthketchem]

I laughed so hard watching this partly because I could be either of these guys

[@reyanshop1199]

Someone: *breathes* Levy:clearly a proud owner of my course😂😂
