As a fellow 500 player i just want to say this game is an inspiration for us 500 players and its a masterpiece
For me, a fellow 1.5k player...., it suks xD
I'm 200
I’m a 500 as well and if I was white and played all those moves I would have felt like the biggest mega genius for taking all of black’s pieces.
I...dont...understand, my elo hovers around 200 but the last game I played last night had a 81.4 accuracy *HOW* do you get to 600 and play like this? 😭😭😭

5:36 wait is this where gotham started calling pawns frozen😮
its so funny that literally the only safe square for the knight is to fork and he couldnt find that
kzhead.info/sun/ZtCOoJZ7Z6KJkpE/bejne.html Finally it's here YES..
@muhammad koπtol (erectile dysfunction) i have been stuck at 600 for quite a while, and no matter how much i was studying my opening, i couldn't reach the 700. Then I studied a bit the endgame, not a lot, litterally 1 hour of my life studying of king and pawns/king rook and pawns. That was enough to send me to 800. People at 600 start malfunctioning in the endgame (more than they do earlier) and I was able to turn the tables being down a rook and a piece quite constantly
@muhammad koπtol (erectile dysfunction) how does age have nothing to do withn your rating
That literally happened to me yesterday. It was a bullet game, and my knight was "trapped". I spent 15 (!) seconds - literally a quarter of the entire game - trying to find a way to rescue it, and eventually did using tactics (I moved the knight to a square from which it could be captured but then skewered my opponent's pieces). Worst part? My knight wasn't actually trapped - it had a completely free rook in the corner to capture. Not only that, attacking that very rook was LITERALLY the reason my knight moved in there in the first place. But my brain had just assumed my opponent would move the rook, so when my opponent trapped my knight instead I was like "shoot, I missed that move" because I hadn't calculated it, completely forgetting that I hadn't calculated it BECAUSE IT JUST LOSES A ROOK. Actually, that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that I am 2300, and my opponent was 1700. I ended up winning the game eventually, but the dangers of playing lower-rated players sometimes come from the most unexpected of places.
@muhammad koπtol (erectile dysfunction) im 13 and im 1500 or at least 13 yr old should be 4 digits and not play like this
That could be an interesting version of the game: you play to win, but every move must qualify as a blunder
kzhead.info/sun/eMqJmNKslqOGkps/bejne.html here you go ;)
that would be a bit hard, because it's impossible to blunder on your first move or so
That's quite a smart concept. Finding the least blunderous move that would of course be a blunder is actually hard.
That would be a brilliant fun-mode!
this is the best comment. and i wish there should be a game like this. like you should win a race in which the slowest guy wins!
20:50 well that escalated quick af 😅😂
I (950) today started "coaching" my 250 friend and managed to boost him up to 400 already. Im very proud of that, and him

I was really really hoping this would end in stalemate
It probably would have happened if the other 500 didn't resign. I don't understand why anybody resings at that level, I mean look at this game, why would you assume that there will be no more messing up?
Same
@@smrtfasizmu6161 a bunch of reasons: firstly, its online rating, it doesnt matter in the slightest. if youre down a queen and a bunch of pawns, getting a draw once in 50 games is not worth the time. secondly, people play for fun more so than to improve, especially at lower levels. playing an endgame which you have absolutely no chances is not fun at all. might as well resign and go to the next game where you can have a chance of fun. thirdly, they generally dont know how bad they or their opponents are. to them, they are playing good moves. so while you and i can watch the game and say “wow there were so many blunders, why would they resign when the opponent could blunder more?” they look at it and say “wow, my opponent took all my pieces, theyre so good”
@@brianaiitken Nah, white had 5 pawns, over/under is he ends with 3 queens at which point it's almost impossible for a 500 rated player not to stalemate. Never resign when a 500 rated player has pawns they can promote.

These videos are surprisingly SUPER useful to learn from as a low elo player! especially all of the moves levy points out to do and NOT to do. Thanks Levy and thanks everyone who''s brave enough to submit them!

This game gave me brain damage tbh, what were you thinking when playing? Like your reasoning for doing these moves?
"by accident black sees that the bishop is hanging" 💀
as a 600 rapid player, I don't see a single mistake made by either side
13:45 I DIDN'T REALIZE ROOK E4 WAS A BAD MOVE UNTIL HE POINTED IT OUT
same
Lmao, I was shocked when he just took that rook with a pawn, like "wtf..."
me neither 💀💀💀
Thats how i feel every game😢
@o m This is literally how I lose my queen all the time and I still don't learn, I just completely forget that pawns take side pieces and not the ones that are in front of them and I'm like... oh wait..
It speaks volumes about me that I was genuinely impressed for Re4 at 13:44. Levy literally had to point it out to me that rook was hanging. Man, these videos really make you regress...
Ohh wow.. I read your comment clicked the time link and thought.. "What's wrong with rookE4??" Those pawns man!!! Every time!!
i swear it's the confidence black and levi made that move with, it just doesn't occur to you that he placed his most valuable piece where a pawn can take it right after for free
Ya man he distracted us so effectively
There I would take the c6 pawn with my queen. Then take the rook with the queen forking the bishops
I'm a 700, I did not see that Rook was hanging. I think alot of these stuff happens in my games too. It's as simply as we don't see it. All our moves does not have to have a plan, I can't think that far or Idon't know what creates a good attack. I'm trying to just not hang my pieces, then I end up in a fork, or bad trade and lose the game. Especially forks is hard as they are not natural for us 700 to spot.
i just love how the eval goes crazy after each move

If you want to go from being 600 to 1200... take this one piece of advice: let your opponent make the bad moves.

Learn to play an opening and don't outplay yourself, boom, 1200.

As a below 600 myself, I can confirm I saw most of the great moves that both of the players played before he even told me not to do them!

@@Velerium are you even aware of what you're saying there?
Can we just appreciate the fact that after the first few moves, almost every time one of them moves, the bar jumps strongly to the other one.
The evaluation bar needs a good sleep tonight after these squats.
13:43 I felt so smug for instantly seeing Qxc6+ forking the king and rook and completely missed that you could just immediately take with the pawn lol. I need to play fewer puzzles
Qxc6+ is fine, because let's say black play Bf7 to block, you can play Qxe4+ and winning and additional Bishop on e1.
Winning 6 points instead of five. Nicely done.

It's not that that's a bad move. It's just that black paid no mind to the pawn at all.

19:39 This had me laughing WAY too hard!
When low Elo 30 year old chess players are just chilling
Pawn to f3 was so hilarious, and then Bishop C5 finally after 3 turns... I died laughing.
Imagine ending it off with white making another queen, moving around for a while, and then having a draw
I was about 800 against a 1400 who got 2 pawns promoted without close attention to where they were ... immediate stalemate.

When
I love being elo 355, and realizing, "Hey, I could play better moves than them." Like it makes me realize how at certain skill levels, 600 seems so advanced to me, but in reality they are the same or even stupider than me.
Not really. I am 500 player and this shit is horrendous. I have never encountered a 500 player playing that bad . Not even ones in 400s. Been a 350 player and even i was not this stupid
As a rating 300 something i would never play this badly in a chess game ever, even on my first round i feel like both of the 600 are kids who just started playing chess with looking at 0 resources
When i used to be 600, i..... looked like a hacker because i always won in 4 moves
Ngl every 300 person I’ve played has been playing really well for 300 like there is not as many bad moves as you might think there would be
Yeah it's like they just played against 100 players to get a lot of elo but they play terribly

Nobody could say "I know what's happening next, I know who will win" at any point in this one.
