Thanks Levy! I'm pleasantly surprised that I not just won the GLE lottery but also featured in a standalone video! (I played white in this game) Few notes from what I can recall from my line of thinking, in case anyone was wondering (AMA!): - 5:32: I had some success in Scandinavian with this bishop and rook setup (usually winning a queen or something with a discovery) so I was tunnel visioned to clear e-file for the rook than anything else. - 7:09: I saw Rxb1 loses a2 pawn but Bxb1 can still protect so I went for it, didn't even look one step further after Qxa2, which ofc was the thing I was trying to do all along. - 11:37: Starting from here I missed most of black's queen backrank mate, wasn't aware that moving my bishop out is a way better idea. - 14:20: Believing black was doing some sort of rook sac idea that I didn't see, I decided to not give what they wanted, but I realized immediately after Qd8+ that was stupid 😂. I wonder if I recalled the rule of "2 more attacking pieces" at that moment I would see that was just a clear rook blunder. - 16:15: Can confirm, you won the million dollars. - 19:39: My brain isn't functioning, and I have this tendency of not giving what my opponent would obvious expect me to do. - 20:24: I just eyeballed that my king was more active, can probably stop those pawns after a queen trade, and I have queenside pawn majority, which was all an illusion. Have been struggling but I'm now motivated to put more efforts to not "fake learning", and review my course lines. Love your videos, keep it up! And/or find more success in your Chess career, whichever works better for you ;)

Personally me being a newer player, I'd move the other bishop to C5 or D6. The idea is as the game goes on it's attacking the king when not in real danger Hell even doing G4 a block down threatens their bishop/queen if they move the knight. Hell as he points out it lets the knight retake or drive in when it would be a much more questionable move if the bishop with threatening real pieces if the knife moved.

4:25 AYO 🤨

Three stages of a 300 Elo game: (1) opening: normal moves, (2) middle game: chaos breaks out, (3) endgame: the player with the material lead blows the game.

I am currently around their rating and in my last 4-5 games i have had 0 blunders 0 missed wins and 1-2 mistakes, typically mate in 25-ish movies. Im very new to chess, so this helped me alot in learning more about what I can specifically learn. Thank you!

4:27 Lmaoooo🤣🤣🤣🤣

These low elo series can help me alot!!!! I've actually starting to realize my mistakes because I also did these things in a real match. I guess I watch too much GM players that's why I'm stuck under 1000.

At the end, after he said that white won, I was just waiting for him to say; “just kidding, white accidentally stalemated”

i’m laughing at this like i don’t blunder at least 5 times per game lmaoooo

That "White here goes:oh my! I haven't blundering in several moves" Part was just great

This is making me realize how important being strong at openings are, I’m at like 500 and I instantly saw the mate in 2 and I would do a lot of the moves you mention after the opening, but I am just awful at openings

"Hopefully your attention span lasts longer then 4 minutes. You're going to need that skill later in life..." 💀

omg this is the funniest video I've ever seen in chess play, we need more of these players lol

I was so hoping for a stalemate, time stamps were very clever as well!

14:13 yeah, it's not a mouse-slip. It's definitely an extra attack on the bishop while forgetting that pawns can be a threat. Happens quite a lot to some people. :">

when theres a check mate opportunity halfway in the game you know its a good game
