A good way to blunder check is to the options of every piece of both sides even if it doesn't seem to be significant at first.

Idea for a video: you get two teams of a 2000, 1600, 1200, 800 and 400. The 2000s play the first 5 moves then hand over to the 1600s for 5 moves etc. See if the lower rated players can convert the advantage their teammates built up or if they just blunder mate in two.

You could prob get a good roster going with a Levy vs. Hikaru relay sub battle!

This was less a chess game and more a piece of art. It evokes a powerful drama and ends with an underdog win. It was a moving piece, but some might find suspending their disbelief a bit too difficult. Sure, it had it's share of plot holes, but it's a feel good story in the end ;)

I legit took about 5 seconds to process that the last word you said was "checkmate." With a game like this I didn't think it was possible with TWO QUEENS!!!!!

Sometimes I watch these games and think: 'that is a good move' and levi is like: 'wel that is a move so bad you wil absolutely lose'

There were more ups and downs in this chess game than a heart monitor

The best chess advice I ever got was "if your planning involves the phrase 'I hope my opponent doesn't notice this', plan something else." Meanwhile, beginners don't simplify for the following two reasons: a) they don't know how to simplify RIGHT, and they've learned in the past that doing so leaves them with a knight and a pawn against two rooks and b) the way they win games is by giving checks until they accidentally checkmate. The fewer pieces you have, the less likely that is to happen.

World-class talent on display. Learn from these two greats kids

Ironically 5 elo chess is closer to mittens than any of us will ever be 😂😂

This is glorious^^ Its like playing a board game for the first time after just having learned the rules

Black has 2 queens on the opposite corner of the board and white checkmated with a queen and a knight while the white king is chilling on the other side of the board is just a beautiful skill

I think it's the first video i've seen that he didn't end with his line "get outta here".

that ending was so shocking than the bishop eating the queen

I think I could take a random person off the street, teach them all the pieces in 5 minutes, and get them to perform better than what I just witnessed. Holy crap

Levy is obviously so shocked that he didn't even say "get out of here"

more thrilling and mysterious endings than inception,

"and the Knight Stops that" Him: Marks the Bishop.

I laughed out loud so many times! Great video, Gotham!!
