lol, going from 8% accuracy to engine level accuracy. what an improvement! someone must have been studying Levy's opening videos!
well, after studying for a few hours my accuracy went from 30% to like 80% and my rating from 300 to like 2k so it is possible
@@FlagerMiszcz 2k from 300 in a few hours? That's impossible. 300 is low even for a beginner that barely knows how the pieces move. And 2k is already close to fide master level. A genius wouldn't play like a 300 in the first place and someone that gets to 2k in a few hours has to be one of the smartest persons alive, if not the smartest to have ever lived.

On 200 ELO you don't even need to cheat, you can just use the Scholar's Mate, and win
Nah, Scholar's Mate requires your opponent to have enough brain cells to know that you shouldn't blindly attack enemy pieces at every opportunity. If you go queen first, 200 elo will definitely attack it, if you go bishop first, there's a chance they'll attack the bishop with a pawn, and if they don't then you still have to put your queen out there and get a 50/50 chance whether they attack with the knight (giving you checkmate) or with the pawn (blocking the attack). Though I suppose you could move your queen to f3 and try again, in the latter case. I suspect this is also why it's called Scholar's Mate, by the way. It's the quickest mate that's designed to work against opponents who aren't completely braindead, but instead are simply unaware of the attack and don't have the presence of mind to see it when it happens. Other quick mates tend to have rather more negative names, such as the Fool's Mate.

The evaluation analysis bar: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh it stopped. AHHHHHH NEVERMINDDDDD
3:00 I’d actually say that for a 200, not taking is their best strategy. This is because a 200 is not going to understand pawn structure well enough to know when to take vs when not too. In general, you should take with purpose, when there is a reason to take, but for someone this low elo they probably wouldn’t see a reason to take, so don’t. It’s better than the other end of the spectrum where a player will take any piece they can get their hands on without a second thought
I never thought i’d laugh so hard in a chess video, until 17:12 happened

@@kentonbenoit9629 2 months after the fact but this was a normal suggestuon, calm down
I'm a 500 and I saw that Knight move to block the rook from giving back rank checkmate but I didn't see the mate in 1 tbh
17:51 I'm an 1100 in daily games and I definitely would've been mated. I had tunnel vision on the bishop sac because I was so focused on how can I finish this mate.
As an 1100, this has happened to me in my games. I usually have multiple inaccuracies, mistakes, and blunders, especially if we make it to endgame. But occasionally, the pieces just fall in line into my favor, my opponent plays obvious exploitable blunders, and I play a perfect game and checkmate in 15-20 moves. Also once I make some error, it tends to snowball into a rough position that is difficult to defend, leading to more errors.
I commented 'looks like a new Levy video' on that Reddit post, the person below tagged him, and here it is. That makes me happy.
Watching that ne3 move to block backrank mate is the most computer like way to stop back rank when most humans would just either move the bishop to have the rook protect the king or move a pawn to create an escape square
