then you randomly guessed a move then Gotham explains for the next 2 minutes why that was the best move and no human would do that
Sometimes I wonder if Gotham just sits staring at the camera for like an hour before recording.
He practices for hours at a time
He stares at the camera while he holds back what’s on his mind
He sits in front of the mirror and declares his love for him.
??? WDYM Gotham is a chess bot that only powers on when the camera is turned on So obvly he'd be staring at the camera for hours

I really like how encouraging you are towards new players. Instead of saying "because they're bad" or "because they're noobs," you used the phrase "because they're 600." Quantifying things makes it clear that there's room to grow and improve. Nobody's 600 forever. Really appreciate that mindset. Makes your vids more approachable
What kind of “I’m not fat, just well endowed” bullshit is this? The mental gymnastics you pulled for this is so crazy that I’m sure you’re not just “bad”, you’re forever stuck 600.

Never at any point did I talk about myself. All I was saying was that his videos are very beginner friendly. Not sure what caused you to draw the conclusion you did

"Imagine getting told ALL the answers to a test in school, and you still get a 0" Okay now Levy, there's no need to take this personal...
that happened in the highschool in my town. some students snuck into the school at night and stole a physical answer key, distributed it amongst the entire grade and obviously got caught when the teacher returned to their classroom and it wasn’t there. A new test had to be made and I think the students who physically stole the answer key had 0s.

What if you just don’t cheat and play fair?
Its not even a good comparison, sometimes the cpu doesn't see blindlingly obvious moves because it either needs for depth or simply doesn't consider specific moves until the boardstate changed. I legit played all book moves in a game, which happened to be top cpu moves, until move 24. Moves 25-28 I made on my own and were also top cpu moves because it's not that hard to make good moves at non-critical moments... then they played Qg2, getting behind all my pawns, and setting up and unstoppable attack... given the attack was a draw, I didn't see the point. But after moving my pieces, the extra tempo and having my king on a different square led to a completely losing position. I reviewed this game with stockfish 13 depth 35, cause I suspected cheating cause of all my prep. On eval, I played top 4 best moves the entire game and was +11, but when the opponent played Qg2 the eval moved to -1.7 on the spot, and -4.8 or worse after my next move regardless of which I pick. Stockfish 13 at depth 35 missed that I had been completely losing by force for 6-7 moves and thought all of my prep was best moves... so using stockfish to chest is more like finding a copy of the answer sheet on the internet but the teacher altered the test and some of the questions aren't the same

@@skylarmimikyu7844 Beep, Boop.
I think we as chess players can study the reason behind these insane computer moves to understand why they are prone to these kind of attack and why they prioritize such attacks instead of defending or taking some important pieces. (For example at some point the cheater didn't take the center pawn but instead applied pressure to the opponent's queen) By doing so, I believe we can greatly accelerate our improvement in chess at an enormous rate.

This is the reason 99% of people cheat. They're upset that they're ass at whatever game they're playing. You'll hear a lot of "Oh it's just funny" or "I'm just trolling" excuses, but I think we all know that it's just lashing out because of their own shortcomings.

I just wanna thank you, I can't thank you enough for keeping me interested in chess and improving my game. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 I wish you great success in whatever you want in life😌😌
damn man you're still 1-51 lmao
Watching how the cheater moves reminds me of getting to a destination via Google Maps. It's physically the shortest route, but can make no sense sometimes.
4:37 as an 800 elo player I noticed the queen h2 check too, what I didnt notice is the knight that could take the queen
Black also set up a trap where white was FORCED too take the Queen further setting up the checkmate I mean this move is unbelievable for black if it wasn’t a cheater and could read a board like this he would be one of the best players ever 😂
Yep. I did the exact same thing. I was wondering why it was a difficult move to see, it's an obvious checkmate... Then it was a queen sac to the knight I didn't see.
I’m an 850 elo and I was like qeeen h2 checkmate and didn’t notice the knight take either. If the knight took, I would’ve resigned 😂

Tbf there’s a difference between cheating against intermediate players and cheating against a destroyer of souls.

My new favourite insult “unique kind of idiot”
7:38 I was seriously considering Qxc6+ just like anyone else here, but I calculated Qxc6+, Bd7 forces my queen to move to safety so I was thinking the more patient Nxe5 might be better because it wins the e5 pawn whilst double attacking the c6 pawn so I can take on c6 on the next move! To tell you the truth both of those moves look good. So I was thinking of the line: Nxe5 Bd7, Nxc6 Qc8, c5 Qb7, Bb5!

Hey Gotham! I really enjoy your videos and I was wondering if you can make a Bishop's Endgame Tutorial? Thx
Somebody did once accuse me of cheating, and honestly it did look like it when I analyzed it after. In a 30 move game, I had managed an accuracy of 93.2 94 after I fixed the few mistakes I did make. This was a 600 rated game, though. And it was the first time I'd ever gotten above 90. Btw, since I subbed to GothamChess, I have climbed from 400 elo to 800 elo. Anyway, yeah, after not cheating but someone thinking I did, I felt really good. And then I threw my next game by hanging mate in one move.
Just today I got to 900 perfectly (my personal highest, i was so proud), but the game inmediately after that I blundered mate in 1 in a completely winning game. I was +3 and had queen and bishop attacking the enemy king with him barely defending. Felt a bit bad but laughed afterwards cause he got me real good. Chess is fun.
@@danielantunano7708 It's always that back rank that you think "I don't need to worry about that if I just force mate now" And then suddenly you can't force mate and they back rank you

@@bepohal Just went back to look at it again. 94.8 accuracy after fixing mistakes. It was 15 Total moves (my bad it's been a few weeks) Two inaccuracies, and 2 Good but not Best moves. 0 mistakes.
