This game actually makes a lot of sense to me. We are dealing with a player who learned opening tactics, but NEVER learned basic checkmating tactics. My younger kids play JUST like this. They never want to sit and learn how to give a checkmate. Their games end by just taking ALL of their opponent’s pieces, getting as many queens as possible, and just expecting their opponent to resign. This is why I say lower rated players should never resign. I know it’s supposed to be chess etiquette or something, but how do you ever learn how to win an endgame if the game ends every time someone hangs their queen?

That's me lol. But everytime I take all the pieces out except for king it goes stalemate. Thought the rule is so stupid so I just stopped playing. Elo 105 or something

[@baertheblader9402]

@@giedrius2149 it’s a totally solvable problem. You just need to learn how to force a checkmate just like you likely learned opening techniques. If you have two Rooks (or Rook and Queen) the ladder mate is the easiest to learn imo. Also Rook and King or Queen and King is also not too tough once you learn the pattern. Where I still struggle is if I am left with only bishops and/or knights.

[@A99Diaz]

Not even that. As someone who plays a decent amount of bullet, finding mates with low time can get very tricky. A better strategy in a demolishing position like this is to just remove all opponent's material and then premove ladder mate with 2 queens (will take less than 1.5 seconds off your clock)

Thank you so much for this video but in these uncertain times it is more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

[@user-ns7ij5me7j]

If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.

[@VickDru]

you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited $560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.

[@GebahardHariman]

That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this manager for my dwindling portfolio. Who's the professional guiding you?

[@VickDru]

[@apocryphgaming9995]

I do like the low ELO vids because despite playing chess since I was little, I have never played ranked. Always against my dad and my school's headmaster. I would *guess* my ELO is around 1600. But I remember all the silly mistakes I made when I was learning and all of the really short-sighted half-attempts at strategy I made. A lot of my early games at best consisted of tiny micro-strategies, 2 or 3-move combos that puts opponents in mildly annoying situations until you find one annoying enough to win a game. So it's fun to watch these analysis videos because whilst I'm a much better player than I was as a kid, it's nice to have a professional go through why some moves are bad (or indeed why they're good). It's like an analysis of my younger self. But that endgame? Holy shit. I don't think it's possible to analyse that.

In the part of the vid where Gotham was still trying to enumerate all of the missed mates, there's at least one he missed. That's how insane this is.

there's a total of 59 lmao so yeah there were a fair few left

[@MrDagren]

There's also a moment at 17:46 where he counts a move as a 'mate in 1' which is actually the wrong move that Harry then makes. It's like watching Harry slowly turns you into a Harry.

@@MrDagren interestingly enough, the very next move Levy actually says that Queen f6 ist not M1, when in fact it is.

My stomach hurts from laughing. I'm a terrible player but this just made me feel really good about my chess.

[@PhiHung-cu3sv]

the main point of learning opening theories is not to play like a robot, move by move, it is to not poop your pants within the few first move and ready to embrace the battle. You will see a lot of time, some one start with a garbage move and then turn out it is a decent opening with the move order mixed later on, and newbies who don't know opening theories will panic. And thanks to Levy and his opening courses, I've gained 300 elo for the last few month, I'm proud to say that I'm a pretty good 1500s elo player

[@Molb0rg]

7:33 is way better. He didn't identify, it just his oponent helping him to make right moves, I do it myself to my oponents(eh or did in recent past), and to save his horsey he moves it in only obivious safe place, but that is one of good time codes in this history

[@klodpraisor]

@@Molb0rg It's more like I thought I was prepared for the worst play I've ever seen in my life, and yet that move still was not what I expected given the context of the last move

[@Molb0rg]

@@klodpraisor it was a good video any way, made me notice the difference in noob strategies(noob myself, so), now I do look at my opponents games - how did they played with others(in addition to analyze how was my game with them) and try to find some flaws or sucesses in their games(did that before as well but was looking for different things). In that sense often a good move is 30-50% chance, as there is a good move with the piece and a bad or few bad ones. And they look identical(for a noob) until it played the situation 2-3-5 moves. And it may happen more often with reactive chess which noob tend to play, as they make 1-2 move offence(two moves is advanced noob) and react on the same level, and here is when opponent may have a chance to help opposite side to have a chance to make a good move, as it sees some level of danger and tries to immediatly solve the problem, at least pointing the problem to opposite side. And that is why you see game score is like rollocoaster, black white advantage - black helps white, white helps black and it a success when one of the sides keeps the advante it has for 2-3 moves. So chances to play a good move or even few aren't that low, it keep it each and every time is what is a problem, and strategy. So that we see some good moves here is not suprising, somtimes a good move is the only one(reasonable) to make, it just that pro do not get in such situations, as they do not have the chances, because they both sides prevent it from happening. All in all I think noob chess are underrated, lol

15:47 My favorite thing about the mate in one on C4 here is that it's actually, true to its name, blundering your queen by force as it is the only legal move with which to protect your king which means even at an Elo of 1 you lose your queen. It is literally impossible to miss because the rules will not let you.

[@Ghi102]

The white pawn moves up, not down, you cannot lose on c4.

[@cullenderoche1589]

We’re actually reaching levels of elo I thought were impossible

I've had this happen to me a couple of times. The opponent tried to BM by making all his pawns queens before winning and either stalemated or lost on time. I hope both players are ok ... :)
