Best thing about chess, being a beginner means you have a higher chance of discovering something new since you're willing to make any move, even if that move loses. Mastering the game is about refining those discoveries and using them to your advantage. Its important to keep that sense of wonder and excitement as you play, otherwise chess becomes "I am good at the game, i just want to win" and you lose out on opportunities to enjoy yourself. Sometimes all it takes is a little enthusiasm and games like these happen. Never give up! The D(raw) is mightier than the W(in).

„He doesn’t see that tho… and now he hangs the knight again“ this game is the funniest sh*t i‘ve seen all week😂😭

My ELO is about 600 right now. I was looking the other day at one of my favorite games I've played, in which I spent about half the midgame using just one knight to clear out my opponent's pieces through check forks. Focusing that much on one piece is of course not wise, but it worked. Primarily because my opponent passed several opportunities to capture it, only taking it with the king after being worn down to a few pawns.

The last two minutes of this video are some of the funniest I've seen on this channel. Fantastic Levy.

currently 200 elo…. this video makes me feel good abt how bad i am at chess

This game is a case of your basic strategies, board awareness, knowing where certain pieces can move, and not blundering/giving away undefended pieces. In the low 400s where I've been stuck at are usually filled with early queen attacks. Where pawns defending a pawn push or a pre-emptive knight move to defend the centre work well. Here an early queen trade was attempted, both knew the queen had some significance on the board yet basically fumbled through the first 8 moves. These videos have been very instructive and I've picked up a few strategies, even though I feel it's unfair to judge someone's potentially first few matches, it does make a good example of the basics.

You cracked me with that punch line at the end 😂 I guess that when chess is played perfectly it is a draw

i shed a single tear when i heard 70 more moves

Never in my life did I think I would laugh hysterically at chess game coverage

They legit play like they have fog of war on, while still being 800. Absolutely insane game lmao

i love how levy is trying so hard not to get triggered

This is like Gotham going into the gym and me watching him struggle to bench press the bar.

Looks like a game where gothamchess would be playing both sides.

“At this point he should check with the rook” “Oh he does!! But he hangs the rook”
