It's crazy how many days this man manages to stay in a hostage situation
He wasn't in it, then he was
@@Bitter785huh
@@Bitter785wtf are you doing here
@@Bitter785what are you trying to say 💀
@Sscc. wtf going on in my replies
Can't you see it in his eyes? Levy's stare is -screaming out for help- telling us how much he is enjoying his vacation!
ye
That stare is so cute it's definitely not trying to ask for 911🤩❤️❤️❤️
Cap
Wait how’d you do that strikethrough?
@@empireofkrenedas902 You put dashes (the minus sign) around whatever you want struck through. You can make text bold with asterisks, italicized with underscores, and can combine formats by combining those wrapping characters *_-like this-_*
Levy just sitting there begging the 500 to see his hung rook for ten moves in a row (not counting the two checks/forced moves) is comedy gold
"Hung" rook you say 😏
@@thegrilledcheesecake SACRIFICE THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!
As someone who’s around 500 ELO, I feel like the talent pool is all over the place. Some people play like 200, some play like 1000. To say “there no chance a 500 sees this” feels a bit unfair, I’ve seen moves like these made on both ends fairly commonly.
I agree as a 500 elo, but in general I think there’s not much difference between under 1000 rated players
@@benjaminford1067there 100% is different below 1000 elo like 500 is way better than 300 and 700 is way better than 500 and think is sometime 500 can play like 1000 sometimes they play like 200 but 700 is way more consitent
I agree. 5-600 range in bullet, in particular, is far west. People don't do "normal" openings: they apply tricks and traps. Levy was lucky in finding the total newbie. As a 1.2k ELO in rapid, I had to struggle a lot (and to learn some "safe" openings) to reach at least 700, where matches start to become "normal".
I’m around 400 and yeah it often feels like those “there’s no way a *blank* sees this” moves are usually like No I could totally see that. Would I always in a game? No, but could I? Yeah easily. Half the time it comes down to whether my eyes wandered to that side of the board to spot it in the first place, lol
Yeah this statement was crazy to me. 400 might miss it, but 500s will certainly see that move more often than not.
I'm so glad that Levi returned to his rating

As a 500, I now really regret not playing any games in the past few days...
I was 500 for the longest time but just recently jumped to 800 the past few days -.- when you're pissed to win
@@Iuftwaffeyeah same. I was 500 ELO for 2 months and now I suddenly jumped to 900 during summer. Hoping to hit 1000 soon
I am 800 elo yet I can still beat 1100 elo

@@VykeFingerprintKnight he will be receiving 200 cookies and you don't get any
it’s so crazy how calm he is while being water boarded inbetween recording videos
Gotham, an fun idea might be for you to do this and score yourself for how close to your target elo you can get, a kind of reverse guess the elo for you
Good idea
Yea up vote it so he can see it
great idea dude, take my like
a fun idea not an
I find it amazing that he can stay this committed to his channel even while on vacation with his family
It’s not a vacation it’s a kidnapping
@@Landonisweirdit’s getting old
We're his true family so that's why he spends more time with us
Levy goes on vacation, never comes back

That last dude definetely didnt deserve to win
levy’s hostages must be so kind letting him record for so many days
And drink giant European water 😂😂😂
levys hostages? lmfao
that’s not how you word
ah yes, more humourless children hopping onto the train of comments about levy being “hostage”!
@@ep_ion1112 "ah yes" 🤓👆
Wow it took a glance to the environment for me to realize that you are on vacation in Italy. Italian houses are so peculiar (the moka for coffe, the box of salt on the right and the power controller on the wall)
That was my guess as well ! Though it had to be mediterranean most likely Italy, glad im such a great détetective ^^
the bottle of water too, levissima, is an italian brand
And the water bottle! By now, I only saw them in Italy
so he's in alps!!North of Italy!.He said before he was in montains so
Could also be Switzerland, that’s what popped first into my mind
Gotham: Please play this! 500 Elo Player: Plays this Also Gotham: Please dont play this! Also 500 Elo Player: Plays this
sometimes, watching these, i feel like i deserve a higher chess elo than 470
As an around 500 elo player myself, I’d just like to say that I’d never make these blunders in my games. Mine would probably be a lot more severely damaging and easier to spot 😂
mine would make me able to piss off the people who made chess
Dude same. I’m 1300 and I hang pieces all the time in blitz. And the funniest part is my opponents miss them too
@@timpudge5816 As an Indian, you're right
I’m rated 540 in rapid and he said no one would see the revealed attack at that level. Look at some recent games of mine and say that again
@@dramere stop flexing ur 540 rating IMAO.
AND HE SACRIFICIES…. HIS VACATION TIME
As a 500 Elo player the first bullet round was hard to watch, most of us do not play like that.
frrrrr i got a complement from 1000+ that i almost beat him i feel voilated being 500 elo (i dont play much yet)
I just wanted to say how fun it was to see you playing with individuals towards my level so I could see how someone advanced like yourself might think when you are playing me. This was helpful, and actually just started up a new motivation to play after a time where I kind of lost interest from not being able to learn that easily due to my brain injury. Thank you so much Levy. I don't need a reply, but I really hope you see this. 🙂
It's nice to hear you're gaining motivation :) I was stuck at 500 for 6 months, but there was a moment when things finally clicked. I'm now around 2000. You've got this!
I know how tough that is, keep at it. Exercising your brain can help, try to learn a simple opening, it can raise your elo quite a bit too.
@@chrisdonnell7200 This was helpful thank you. I want to really learn a Queen's Pawn opening, I've always liked that, and wanted to be really good or experienced with that. And then because of Levy I want to learn the Caro-Kann defense for black. Great idea, thank you. 🙂
@@Salvatawr This made me feel really good, thank you. :-)
I just watched your interview on PBS and it was really interesting. I love how more media is picking up on chess!
As a 500 (i think, idk probably lower) I can confirm that I do not know how to avoid blundering all my pieces and losing to ladder mate
just start reviewing ur games and you'll improve
You were NOT on vacation. You were kidnapped and forced to play 500 Elo Chess for some guy that was hardstuck!
25:40 i absolutely loved his little dying scream watching Levi almost break down in tears in the last game was absolutely hilarious. 😂
“Ladies and gentlemen I am on vacation” naaa bro you’ve been kidnapped, botez gambit if you need help
to do this for 1000 elo would be great. I always hover around 1200 so maybe continue and i can see what we do wrong. I like this series
“I’m on vacation.. and my vacation is already going to be ruined so why not ruin it by watching some 500 Elo chess!” I wish that’s how it went
I really believe you could coach anyone to 1600+ elo....your a hell of an educator man. Wish to one day shake your hand man. Mad respect for you
its amazing to see how he stays focused on recording while being held at gunpoint
What is that
@@Louis-rb5xs a statement
That's the 500 Elo spirit! "I'm going to make 10... No 15 queen moves in a row now." 100% how a 500 plays
Levy is the only man I know who looks more stressed on vacation
That last person missing mate in 1 multiple times is crazy 💀😂
Props to levy's captor for letting him feel hostage even after allowing him to ho back home❤
What da hail is that nikaru hakamura
please stfu hes on vacation and not hostage it isnt funny anymore like i bet u werent laughing while you were making that comment
bro's pfp is 🤨
Yay 😅😊😅😊😅😊😅😊😅😊😊😅🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢

Props to Levy for surviving 6 days of being held hostage in a hotel
Levy never fails giving advice anywhere anytime
Is nobody going to ask him to make a video on the new Dog Bots- his dog Benji as a bot came out, nobody saying nothing? ok well- GOTHAMCHESS can you make a video on the new dog bots? I’m surprised nobody talked or even mentioned the new Bots. @GothamChess
Love your channel my man! Makes my day awesome, even through the hard ones :)
The chess grind never stops!
No one: just move the rock to any place Gotham: Oh my gawd what a good move
This was just amazing😂😂😂, watching Levi get "convulsions" by horrible moves was just amaazing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻, and of course, his famous "get out of here" at the end of every video just gives every video a soul😃👍🏻
Levi: “You can’t be mad if you ran out of time if you clicked the 3 minute button” Me: You can’t be mad about slow opponents when your clicked the 30 minute button.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how Levy's kidnapper is letting him film content for us ❤
Woah, chill not shouting and over excited levy is pretty entertaining!
Keep continuing this series Levy. I really enjoy it
GOTHAM! if ur being held hostage, wear a red shirt next vid
Wow levy dropped his elo especially for us respect
That bullet game started like magnus and ended like me playing chess at 2 am
“Not in a million years a 500 would see a discovered check” me finding discovered checks ever since 400 Elo 😂😂😂😂
This was really exciting to watch! I hope that the opponents find this video to review their performances against you. I would like to see other ELO levels - 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2000. I think that analysis of games at these levels would be really instructive, as well as entertaining!
As someone who became 500 yesterday when he said no 500 can see that discovery attack on the queen makes me wonder if I’m a 500 or not💀 4:57
Gotham: He finds the fork. Now why did you put your knight there? Second opponent: i forgor💀
I appreciate the lesson about developing the knights before the bishops!
Sometimes when I watch these videos I really think I might be the best 500 ever
My 650 elo are able to beat magnus carlsen☠️
imagine a 500 elo just pulled the bongcloud on levy
Imagine raiding a whole ass village but then forgetting to bring your pony 🐎 back
As a resident 500, we woulda saw checkmate in one, you are somehow getting some very easy 500s 😂 loved this vid
fr that 500 are more like 200 at max
To be fair, at 500elo a knight might be worth more than a rook.
Bro calculated 32 move's into the future and resigns after e4
shoutout to the person who keeps levy as a hostage lets him record videos for us. truly an inspirational person!
hey Gotham, are you in Italy? Because the water you showed at the start of the video is made in Italy and it's one of the most popular in Italy.
Sì è sicuramente in Italia, probabilmente tipo Sicilia.
Love the content Gotham
I think an unexpected pawn move can be meta in 500 bullet to try to remove time from the opponant but it is mostly trying to be faster moving your pieces.
Bro went to a vacation and forgot his voice at home 💀
I enjoy all your content and thank you for your lessons. I made it to 600 ELO in rapid and 400 in blitz and bullet because of it!
The hostages are now asking for a guess the elo episode 100 for ransom
As someone who is 1000 in Rapid but 500 in bullet, I'm embarrassed to be in the same elo as that bullet player
The bullet game was a very entertaining content. I laughed so hard 🤣
I tried 500 elo chess, coz thats where my rating is 😂
You asked people at 100 Elo if they watch Gotham chess? Do you honestly think there is anyone out there who could watch your content and STILL be that bad?
I still manage to do that unfortunately.
Can we just appreciate this man's CONSISTENCY? Like bro is uploadings vids 24/7, I can't even watch all of his videos in a day! Thanks Gotham for being so relentless with your content, you've taught me more than any other video can. I love watching your commentary videos and keep up the great work!
"They had the right idea" with a Rick burb after really hit different
Ah yes.. 500 elo chess, the peak of human capability.
It was not a mistake it was a BLUNDER B-L-U-N-D-E-R
Oh shut it
@@comfyblue11??
First line: "I am on vacation." KZhead comments: "WHY ARE YOU BEING HELD CAPTIVE?"
Second game was disaster. Almost every move was a blunder of some sort, and that knight just being there doing nothing...
As Levy's captor, I want to profusely apologize for Levy's background. I will make sure to make it better next time
500 elo is just fantastic we can learn we can't on GM levels❤ best contents
Smart man, putting the coordinates of the location he's held at on that clock.
this feels so condescending, like he's commenting on a toddlers' drawing each time the opponent makes a move lol
Hope you're enjoying your vacation! Appriciate the grind! support from Israel!
When I was 500, I saw so many tactics but I missed some of them
That bullet game was hilarious 😂
It's so strange- being a player around 500 elo, to watch this and see all these mistakes, but when playing, it genuinely feels like my opponents, and myself to an extent, are playing at a much higher level than this. I guess that's the difference between playing and watching.
Just saw your interview with PBS. Realy well done to include so much information in a short segment. Ambassadorial.
I think if the first opponent didn’t end up forcing you to take his rook, then losing his other rook, he would’ve had a higher elo
I only started playing Chess about 2 weeks ago so just learnt about En Passant in this video. Funnily enough it happened in one of my games yesterday and I thought the game bugged out lol.
One time, I didn't see my rook hanging. That's how I played 2 brilliancy, 4 great moves, and 13 blunders :D
Your PBS interview was great.
This was fun, finally an exciting new format
It’s amazing how levy is more worried about making videos than being held hostage.
gotham spent more time trying to not checkmate than actually win the game
Try the 250-300 range next. Ill see you there
Gotham I think you thoroughly enjoyed playing 500 Elo chess 😂 Great video . Would like to see this series continue !
I think the guy in bullet just assumed that you took his knight and just payed attention to the other side of the board
levy on 500 elo: "I'm not gonna smurf" also: "Let's play principled chess"
