MY IMMORTAL CHESS GAME

A few days ago, I played an anonymous Grandmaster on chess.com. This game features a strong attack and some sacrifices - good review for beginners and intermediate players on tactics and strategy combined.

Absolutely awesome vid. “All star bishop” is hilarious

[@TheChessGiant]

Hahahaha yes

[@BadHabitMarco]

It is an All Star, indeed!

[@Sam-py9qq]

4:14 "so there are certain tactics in the position, that serve to my benefit" Yeah like having a forced mate in 2

[@coltonjobes]

I think he just didn’t want to give away the rook move from a few moves later

[@Sam-py9qq]

@@coltonjobes true, that makes sense

[@salicus]

"All Star bishop on c4" :)

[@detectivemarkseven]

Lol hes not lying 🤣

[@Livestreamlurker]

I think my calculation is getting better. I found two of those sacrifices and found the main ideas of the variations. Not the actual best variations but I still have a lot of trouble visualizing the board and remembering where everything is and what it can do.

[@cupid__angel__]

Do you have a video about knowing when to sacrifice? If not I’d love to see one some day :) My attacks never seem to crash through a position

[@maxthexpfarmer3957]

I've heard him say that you need two more attacking pieces than they have defending pieces. I think this is only pieces that can actually attack and defend, not some rook in the corner or queen on the other side of the board. And opposite-colored bishops are good for you because they're bishop can't fight your bishop.

Awesome game GothamChess! I also like the Delayed Wing Gambit, it's a great opening that takes many Sicilian players (myself being one of them) by surprise. My favorite move to play against is 2. ... Nc6

[@BadHabitMarco]

Very powerful and instructional game, Levy. Color me impressed. Thank you for sharing and commentating on it!!

[@meritonbela9160]

Loving the videos, great job. Maybe a game where you were winning, but lost by a blunder. That would make us 1500s feel a lot better.

[@Hancoxed]

Sweet game. At 3.45, if knight takes it's just mate in two, no need for discovered attacks on queen (not that that happened anyway!).

[@JecIsBec]

Somebody once told me The bishop was gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

[@allanshpeley4284]

She was lookin kinda dumb With his rook on square e1 And the shape of an L on her forehead

[@WilliamJonesChess]

Too many good moves in one game. Nice term for the Bishop on c4: the all-star bishop!

[@mikhilangre4138]

Again bro awesome commentary going on👍🏻❤

[@alekskenins]

This was stunning. Well done!

[@jandrevanderwesthuizen3478]

Well played! Great to watch.

[@sidgohan4846]

The way you said that' line "my opponent did not accept the rematch that's to funny 😆। and cool too at the same time!!!

[@BostonFenian]

Fascinating position there after the knight sacrifice, I'd love to see more videos like this of interesting tactical positions from your own games against other masters

[@rubenmaes4062]

Yeah plz make more videos like this

[@traplover6357]

Delayed Wing Gambit is a PogU for me against the Sicilian, Levy.

[@eitan0366]

the other day I saw a comment that said "best come back" and that sounds pretty cool

[@smoorej]

Beautiful game, breathtaking attack. I absolutely love this channel.

[@jasonz9902]

Nice game.... must feel good to beat a GM with a rook sac!

[@ImprovePath]

You are my inspiration. You are the BEST IM I HAVE EVER SEEN. I learn a lot from you. I hope you become GM soon. ❤

[@swolejszo]

What a coincidence, I had a game earlier today where I sacked a bunch of pieces. It wasn't completely intentional though, and I didn't win at the end.

[@-m7k0z7-9]

5:00 castle to e1

[@purplemonkeydishwasher9818]

Tal-esque very nice game

[@Rei-gh6ul]

4:08 I thought about Rxh6 by white(open check by the bishop) if the opponent ever captures white's bishop on f4. Black can't capture the rook on h6 because of the bishop on c4 checking the king. Black can block the check with Rf7 but Rh8 by white is checkmate. Black can try to block with his knight with Kd5 but Rh8 is still checkmate.

[@Rei-gh6ul]

Also if black queen blocks with Qd4 after white rook takes pawn on h6 then Rh8 by white is still checkmate.

[@Rei-gh6ul]

@@DonFreeq I share the same sentiment as you. I just find it fun to point them out still.

[@weitao100]

a3 second move me: too much ttheory

[@kriptictitan9666]

When you moved the rook and made the “immortal move” of the game, why didn’t you take his knight on d5 with your knight on c3 first, allowing you to maintain the pin. And if he takes the rook you take the bishop on e7 with your knight, and simultaneously attacking his new knight on e6? Sorry if it’s confusing

[@ruidadi6241]

He can then take back your knight with queen and defend his knight on e6

[@TheMarksT]

Awesome game! Thx for sharing it.

[@liljackypaper]

In the same position where you showed taking the pawn on F7 to be able to win back his bishop and be up a pawn... You ever move the knight first and if your opponent takes your queen it's mate in 1?

[@iicompany6376]

Feels like fisher vs bryne game of the century...

[@bobred8760]

You should create a d4 course, that would be sick

[@TheChessGiant]

[@davidholland4713]

Lovely stuff. I didn't see the rook sac. What a beautiful play. I presume your rating is higher at faster time formats. Are you anywhere near GM? I guess that you need to get the rating up at slower formats?

3:51 after knight f4 rxh6 is the best move right? Edit Omg how did I see that at 5:04 and levy actually played rxh6

[@bigger.1.bestrapperalive]

Do a game where you win after losing your Queen early in the game

[@aryanknowledgeseeker9945]

Very good thanks

[@KingStotch]

Love this attack! But why a3?

[@TheChessGiant]

In this particular video you don't see the rewards of playing this move, but against d6, e6, Nc6, and g6 white can play b4 with the Delayed Wing Gambit. It's actually a really aggressive and attacking chess opening that is sound and rare.

[@TheKrazyLobster]

6:25 you could have mated him earlier. Instead of taking qxh6+ you should have played be5 checkmate

[@retrogandalf7899]

Beautiful game!

[@paulcook7426]

I saw the rook move even before you even asked. But would I have ever played that in a match? Not a chance.

Guys i think Levy has a opening curse

I always assumed that an immortal game were called that way because it's a game that will be remembered forever.

1 move behind the the attack i found nxe6 which was a very good move
