PIN OF SHAMEEEEE
true tho
PIN OF SHAME!!
Pin of shame
Pin of shame 😤
That opening was actually quite impressive. It was like 1400 opening and then the rest was 200
Aside from castling short against London which usually results in quick checkmate.
I wouldn't say that you shouldn't castle as black against the London (unless there's a greek gift) but you should be cautious especially with something like h4, h5. However its definitely defendable at a high level. Levy talked about d6, e5 but i thought more direct was Qg6 (prophylactically) defending anything with h7 or h6. As long as you realise there is danger a few moved in advanced its good. Obviously thats not expected at 600 level.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 Long castle in London's is definitely not scary. A rook on c8 and black always have sufficient counterplay.
@@TheArizus Absolutely, you should castle, I just had so many games where black castled short and ran into rook+queen or bishop+queen battery mate 3 moves later
Yes that's fair. There definitely is attacking potential
This has got to be a world record for the most amount of missed mates in one in one game. At first it looked like white was the best 600 I’ve ever seen in my life, but I was very mistaken
Beginner preps like a GM for the opening but hasn’t learned about something crazy called the middlegame, and even wilder, THE ENDGAME!
Maybe they’re just reallly really bad at endgames
as a ~400 player, I have definitely had just as many if not more missed mates in a game more than once 😅
Maybe he use the engine, until he saw the wining position... white opening was really really good
You can be 1000 in the opening and 200 in ending and end up being an inconsistent 600
"You know what they say, when you have mate in 1, look for something better" 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Imagine if this happened in a real war. Both kings chased out of their castles and hiding in each other's territory!

You already got herpes. Does it make a difference now?
Levy: “run the king” Everyone: *runs the king* Levy: “well now don’t do that”
His advice was to run the king in a dead lost position, not when you have a mate in one
Black literally ran in the wrong direction
Running the king literally worked for black in this game....
@@TimSheehan coz half of the moves of this game were missed mates by white
@@_Tao__ yes. Because players at this level get confused and can't mate in the middle of the board. One of the reasons why running the king works
650 here, I can relate. I sometimes feel like Kasparov in the opening, and mentally handicapped in end game.
The opening by white was so good that I suspected that they were cheating. But this endgame was just insane
There other phone died 🤣
Nope. As a begginer is very common to try to memorize several good lines from a specific opening. I usually play the Caro Kahn as black with 90% or more until move 15. But still am under 900 elo.
Levy’s reaction when they blunder is pure gold

That literally was the match in second sub battle with Hikaru, wasn't it? Levy played someone because other dude forgot about the game.
It's so funny watching the king miraculously avoid 16 mate in ones and end up on the opposite side of the board with a winning position
Damn, this game was wild as hell. At first I couldn't believe that White was 600 Elo because of how they played in the opening, and then I couldn't believe they were 600 Elo because of how they played in the late middlegame and early endgame for the opposite reason. It was like he used up all his mental energy through the opening and then just ran out of gas. My theory, I feel like sometimes, the challenge of converting a winning position into a won game can sometimes come from bouncing back after a missed opportunity. White couldn't figure out how to finish things off and seal the deal, leading to them getting more frustrated and then perhaps beating themselves up for not being able to figure out the conversion. Then when they start slipping towards a losing position, they start playing despair chess because of how hopeless they may feel about the game having their position fall so much in quality or about their own ability in failing to deliver a win from an overwhelming advantage. Once that happens and the hopelessness or frustration sets in, their thinking is completely emotionally compromised, their focus and ability to reason or calculate goes out the window and they implode on themselves like the core of a dying star turning into a black hole.
I would love to see videos lists with crazy games but playing specific openings. I love the London and the caro, I think it would be interesting to see the weird lines and maybe get some new attacking ideas.
Levy, I don't wanna learn chess, I just wanna play it
it tends to be more fun if you're winning often, doesn't mean you gotta memorize 50 openings to have fun but still
I dont think ive seen a comment on a chess video as real as this
I feel so identified with this comment i stopped studying after learning the fundamentals and I enjoy improving empirically rather than studying even though progress is slower.
You sound like someone featured in a how to lose at chess video…

It's possible that Levy changed his title, but content creators on KZhead can actually create multiple titles (and multiple thumbnails), and KZhead will present new ones to you to try to get you to watch the video. Tom Scott (I believe) did a video on this.
@@MadMathMike thats why!

dude as 300 elo whenever he paused to say like “what is the best move” i was able to pick them out. There’s no way in hell you can convince me that these players are double my elo.
@@epicmonkey3298 That's the thing about a lot of people in these videos. Someone picks their starting rating as 1200, loses 90% of his games and ends up around 600. Starting from 200 some of those people would stay at that number for the rest of their lives.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 i am 1080 elo and i was 200
Thank you for what you do. My son and I work on our game every day and you helped kindle his interest in the game originally. Another great way for us to bond.

Mood, I'm so bad at finding mates. Thankfully my opponents too
800 here, couple days ago dude didn't know how to mate with two rooks so he promoted to queen, blundered her, promoted again, stalemated. I'm still not sure if he was trolling or legit had no idea about endgames.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 I had like 5 queens one game and accidentally stalemated. I have no regrets, it was quite funny actually that I tried to troll the opponent and ended up trolling myself 😂

1:44 theres a checkmate in 1, once the pawn takes, move the queen to h5 3:11 bishop to c4 check, pray for king movement, pawn h5 (sack it), rook h5 (also sack), queen h5 13:24 bishop b1 check, forcing the king out of the position. 15:16 Queen e2 take, then king e2 take, dropping the queen but taking away the some of the other real threats, the rooks. Edit: imma just point out a whole lot of moves that could of make the game a whole lot faster (from white)
1:44 Qh5 - black just goes g6
what whould g6 do to queen h5?
Defending from the check and attacking the queen h5 and the pawn g6 itself is defended by the pawn h7, so it’s just not a checkmate in 1, it’s not a checkmate at all
oh, lmao i read that wrong, thanks for the clarification
100/10 stare today, really felt levy coming inside me
🤨📸
Oh sh-
Same 😉
What!?😮
That’s what I’m saying
No matter what Levy will be forever the internet's chess teacher
For beginners Dutch is decent against London but it should be Stonewall and you should play... e5, c6, e6, f5, in that order. Possibly activate the queenside bishop to g4 (if possible) before shuting it in with e6. Also watch out for nasty queen checks on h5. This will give you a solid posision for your oponent to blunder against. You do this move-order because if blacks second move is c4 you swap over to Queens Gambit or w/e is your prefrence and and avoid the Staunton Gambit. I play this against London and Falkbeer or Noteboom against c4. I don't particularly recomend Falkbeers Gambit (It is dubious at best) but there are plenty of solid openings against d4, c4. Queens Gambit is just a suggestion.
Some good moves for 600 elo players, the Dutch defense, then the rook sacrifice. They're going to learn the endgames and evolve into much better players. Also the more you play, the fewer blunders you make.
i like how well these chess games prompt levy, there's so many chess games it's just infinite list of prompts for this guy
"Just cuz you went in once doesn't mean you gotta go in a second time." Life changing advice from Levy.
That opening was litterally perfect

I love how he goes from demon to philosopher in the course of 2 minutes
The checkmate opportunities were worthy of a tragedy book, but they must have played at 1600 during their opening it’s crazy

Ive had a couple games lately where i’ve made a move and immediately saw that I missed forking my opponent or missed capturing a hanging piece. This is an improvement. I used to only notice after reviewing the game. ;)

I see games like this every week. Maybe we should introduce eval bars & M numbers into OTB games. The good news is that these student players were probably unaware how close they came but both felt that they had had a damn good game. I sometimes wonder if we are teaching chess the right way and whether we shouldn't start at the end rather than the beginning? They were both managing their clock time well.
