I think the only reason he didn't go for promotion is that he had nobody to capture on a1 and it would feel really weird to become a light bishop after spending all his previous life in darkness :D Anyway, that would be quite a journey, from g7 to a1, one capture at a time.

This was an amazing game, my favourite so far. I love how the blunders aren't obvious but the eval tanks so hard

5:20 maybe he was worried about black bishop to check? which would make him have to alter his defense on the middle

And that is why I always play with an increment. It's always sad to see such a fascinating position get destroyed by the unstoppable march of the clock.

Just straight up the "best" game I've ever seen

Having played on both sides of the classical French (a 2300 myself), this was quite a spectacle to observe!

I feel like this is the quintessential game to represent the value of positional advantage and tempo, amazing commentary

Insane video, seeing strong players make blunders like this gives me hope

This is one of the best videos from you I’m amazed at how talented you are at entertaining

What an intense chess game! It was really cool how the evaluation was so often based on alien moves the players would likely never find.

They actually played very well opening As it is a closed position it is hard even for a 2300 to play But endgame was awaful despite low time

another gem in the crown of chess wonderment, it took AI to expose the evaluation flapping like a sheet in a gale, and Levy to raise it to the podium

Bravo!! Most certainly enjoyed that one!!! Hats off to you Levy for the very entertaining recap.

Imagine this game in a GTE episode, Levy would have an aneurysm seeing they were 2300

They play the move that make sense if we look outside but actually a blunder if we see inside it. That's why playing puzzle is good for looking the inside opportunity that we have.

The thing that makes this game special are the circumstances, It's like everyone is stuck in chains. Missed opportunities from both sides. Both are trying to Rush the game in, when they get the advantage they immediately give it away. White was doing very bad however, loads of lost mates. NOt that I would HAVE FOUND them its just that, a 2300 doing it is not good. So, I think his defeat is well-deserved. It really is. Black, who is potrayed as the Antagonist is actually a cool guy, who was playing a lost position, He never resigned and saw the chance of time. That's exactly what I do always against a GM. Like Levy.

This has definitely been the most informative how to lose at chess!

"If knight takes that hangs a king... that's illegal" kills me

This is perhaps the most amazing game I've ever seen. Every move is a high level move, but every single blunder requires and even higher level understanding of the position. If I had played this game (as a 1400), it would have been the best game of my entire life. I would be proud of this game.

This game was so fun! It's fun for me to try and imagine what the players are calculating. I'm not anything close to their rating but being they are 2300 I would imagine they gave several possibilities thought in almost every position of the game. I would love to see some of the super gms do calculations in random mid game positions from games like these

Whatching Levy's videos are like online chess lessons !! We really appreciate this Levy :)

Time pressure very often leads to the weirdest moves and wildest games.

Well actually, the game was super nice to see! (Let's forget about the last part tho T_T)

That is the most amazing stockfish evaluation I've ever seen. Black takes a rook with a pawn, promotes, and puts the white king in check with their new queen... And the evaluation goes from +45 to M19 for white. Absolutely ridiculous.

This was so incredible. The degression from a high rated game at the start to just utter chaos to that final part where i think two chimps took over the board and just threw pieces at random spots
