edit: What he said, is still necessarily true. my comment explains why despite this the number of people who won a game in 7 moves may be different from the number of people who lost in 7 moves. All this because I answered with levy's initial question "how many of you..." in mind Not necessarily a person might lose or win a game in 7 moves against several people, maybe all millions of people that lost a game in 7 moves were playing against the gm in the video (not)

This really shows that Fischer was right, modern chess is all about memorizing. Once you're out of theory, even GMs blunder horribly. The guy didn't know what to do when he saw a new knight move in the opening, 2 moves later he's lost ..

I like how you bring the game to life. I could've reviewed the game privately and not seen any of what you talked about. Nice job!

Because after his 7 moves he can't play anything of the plan he had. He has to improvise a new strategy in the middle of the game, with a 20 minute time disadvantage, while being down a pawn. At GM Level that's almost lost on the spot unless you're, like, Magnus

I’m 1700 and I stopped studying months ago I just kept playing openings until I am familiar with them which makes me strong in the opening, when I was learning chess I studied tactics over and over on Chessable until I’m sick of them, I couldn’t tell when last I did that but it does pay off, as for endgame I had no real knowledge of this and it cost me a lot of my games but I have a opening for black which is dubious and always put me at a disadvantage but I still play it and it takes me to the end a lot which made me gain a lot of experience. Still my favorite part of the game is the middle game then the opening and endgame but I do enjoy an opening when my opponent doesn’t know what he’s doing. Edit - also my account started at 400 and I got scholars mate a lot until I was at 199 elo I got fed up of losing the game with that one trick which made me turn to KZread to deepen my understanding of chess

10:40 Levy : and black decides to play b5 and... ME : AND EN PASSANT WITH THE HORSE (knight)

worst part of this is tat he had to stare at this losing game for over an hour

“You can’t stop an avalanche with a horse” -Levi, 2023

What is interesting about this is that the knight on e5 also controls d7, otherwise the king could move to stop the pawn

11:25 you said that thing so much times already in your videos it is so hilarious

whenever i see something like this, i get some hope. and then i remember that here, black blunders, but is at least putting thought into his moves and at least has some ideas behind it. meanwhile when i blunder on move 7 its because my memory is worse than a goldfish's and i totally forget about the queen and bishop staring at my undefended f pawn

Think about the person who faced that nasty trap on the other end being a GM! He definitely couldn't sleep that night

"Have you ever seen the pieces in prison" - Levy 2023

Ah yes THE ROOOK scream never changes

Levy: Have you ever seen a chess piece in prison? Also Levy: Already posted a video of a Queen going to jail

These games do happen - even the best blunder occasionally. This game was nuts.

Most of us would never see those traps and probably would roast sabino for not taking the hanging rook without realizing were the idiot ones.

This trap was absolutely savage. Black must have been mentally gutted when he realized the extent of the problem he was facing.

“Have you ever seen a chess piece in prison!?” *AlphaZero vs Stockfish flashbacks*

"Black is completely lost by move 7." Stockfish: According to my calculations, this is a draw...

That's stare was like a bishop hanging a queen , 10/10

Him when he sees the blunder: well f******k this I'm out
