@@danieliglesias1669 As a beginner, you should just play. Not with a specific goal of trading pieces. Just try your best. When playing, try to find the best move, find advantage, find attack or search for a defensive plan if your opponent is attacking. There is very often a resource or two if you overlooked something. Most important part - You will make mistakes and make good moves. Learn from both. Try to analyse your games after. I often analyze my games afterwards, both the games I lost and won. Not just the lost ones! The games I won quite often turn out I won them because my opponent made more mistakes than I did. Not because of my brilliancy. Sometimes, my opponent had non-obvious winning position, but blundered. I thought I played amazing game untill I've analyzed it :) Channels like this one can give you very useful tips and help you improve much faster. Play puzzles to improve tactics. A lot of puzzles.

Thinking about it, it's very very hard to score 0 in a True/False exam. The best chance is to know all the right answers and answering the opposite.

[@jout738]

Jack propably thought he was in preatty even position, so decided to move pawns forward, because that what profesional players do, when got no other good moves and thats why he got so bad score, because he was not able to see how good position he actually got and so he didnt go trade the bishop for the knight, because has learned that bishop value is 3,25 and knight value is 3,15, so Jack propably thinks thats bad trade, while does not see how with the fork he could have got free bishop. White decided to put the knights in the side propably, because its his personality, that he likes to do it and didnt put it in middle, because knows that doubled pawns or not so strong and so, if he decides to castle. It will not be that good with doubled pawns. Black really got blind eye to not see the big forks he can do, when he got his own thoughts with his own cheeky plans and so does not care about the forks. Im myself rated like 1000, so I dont have that good eye to see all the brilliant moves, when I just come up with slow plans, that opponent is able to see, but this game was hilarous for me, because how bad they were in actually seeing any moves.😂

Whenever Gotham says "I could give you ten guesses to find the move they made" I always think of a pawn move that does nothing or worse than nothing. My first thought was a6, but b6 was in fact worse, because a6 would keep the knight from going to b5 (even though that's not really important anyway) it does a little more than literally nothing which b6 does. In this case if I was given ten guesses I think I would find it since there are only 9 pawn moves.

[@ajjdgj6tmgedvnmtmek]

Thing is that if you can play a good opening, there's almost always a play that improves your position, even if it's not a guaranteed mate. Just playing your knights to the center often is improving position. Conversely, there are almost always plays that weaken your position, like moving a piece so that it leaves another piece hanging. Even if you're accurate enough to just not make a move that loses horribly, you'll avoid a lot of situations where the analysis says that your best move is still on the way to a loss.

I found b6 as the unexplainable move lol… but only because it was the least logical pawn move I could find

[@jacksonmagas9698]

@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE I thought that at first, but I couldn't come up with any reason for black to think moving the king was a good idea, and low rated players won't move the king unless it is forced, obvious, or endgame

[@jacksonmagas9698]

@1000 VIEWS VIDEO CHALLENGE i shouldn't have said 'good' reason, but what i meant was that b6 serves the purpose of defending the bishop (even if it is not necessary). A king move doesn't do anything at all.

13:05 nah levy im not gonna lie, swear on my life, swear on my moms; when u said u will never guess I instantly said pawn b6 idk y, but I did.

[@HelmetmanTheSwede]

Me too, I thought of what moms would do nothing at all for the player

[@isavenewspapers8890]

Well, the move was b6 and not b7, but close enough.

That 'knight to F4 move' for Levy is the equivalent to Gordon Ramsays "Where's the lamb sauce?"

[@unnabhmajumdar2964]

I would just like to thank you Levy so much for making these kinds of videos too ,because with the help of these kinds of videos, not only do I feel the second-hand embarrassment of those blunders that I know I make too😂 but also learn how to work on them and avoid them or use them against my opponents in my future games 😃 Before Gotham chess was on KZbin ,when I used to play chess back in 2014-15, I reached a point around where I lost so constantly ( like 1 win in every 20 games) made me frustrated and furthermore always losing without understanding why I even lost made it even more so and when I scoured YT all I found were these games of super GM's or GM's games nad moves of those for players like me at that seemed alien Neither could I comprehend them nor apply those in my games and eventually ended up leaving chess considering it to be a game too complex and a waste of time for me ,but your videos again rekindled my interest in chess ,not only did it help me improve my Elo rating from a mere 388 to a 926 but also gave me a deep appreciation for the intricacies of the game itself . Your easy to understand explanations of all games ranging from even a 100 elo rating 😃 to a game between SGM's, all those moves and reasoning behind them seem logical and fun to listen too when you explain them compared to others. Again thank you so much for your efforts in making these videos.

[@jakeblum907]

12:23 - "If I gave you, like 10 guesses here for Black's next move, you would legitimately never figure it out" First Guess was king to somewhere And next 3 guesses were pawns and then 5th guess was what he did

The way he sat there perfectly still for the first 75 frames of the video really got me giggling uncontrollably.

I actually find these incredibly informative. Despite being rated significantly above 500, there are still plenty of tactics that I miss and these highlight them well. Such as trading pieces to remove a defender.

Levy.... It's called talent. You can't be doing something exceptional without talent. I can bet that not even Magnus Carlsen capable to achieve such amazing feat. Not even Stockfish can do that.

@@THEJPIndustry It's a genuinely good idea. He would probably make a very powerful treat and then disregard it over and over again, while trying to find blunders whose refutation is too hard to be seen by someone of his opponent's strength.
