Actually, the balance patch wasn't "adding en passant", it was to allow a pawn taking two steps in one move (while still on its starting position). En passant simply exists to allude to the fact that the pawn actually takes those two steps, so it sort of pauses after the first step and gets taken there. This story is quite helpful for students to understand en passant.

And like castling, en passant was to speed up the game since they were moves players were always making. When both players move their king forward, move their rook to where the king was, then move the king back, it's 6 moves. Castling is just one move. En passant came about for the same reason. Each player moving their pawns up one space at a time and not really affecting the game state was needlessly time consuming. So they added the rule you could move two spaces, but then had to create en passant because otherwise pawns could "dodge" getting captured.

Wow! Great job on the WIRED graphics team on making him look so realistic! GothamChess almost looks like a real person in this video!

I want to add to the first question about trash talk in chess that in XIX and early XX centuries chess players were notorious trash talkers. Staunton and Saint-Amane were insulting each other in their chess magazines before and after their match, Alekhine and Capablanca had a very infamous feud, there were heated debates about chess openings... In fact, the only reason why chess trash talk fell out of favor was that between 1945 and 1990 about 80% of top chess players were Soviet and they obviously couldn't do that (even if they wanted).

You may have to differentiate bishops or queens if you promoted a pawn to either. Now you may have multiple light (or dark) square bishops, or multiple queens, and you may need to disambiguate. (I know, I know, not likely at all)

Sure it is. A second Queen on the board is quite common… that’s why chess sets come with 4 Queens not just 2. Now under promotion to a bishop would be very strange because if you didn’t want to promote to a Queen due to a stalemate then the next best option is likely a Rook or sometimes a Knight for a fancy checkmate or even as a defensive trap or to stave off checkmate for a few moves to maybe win on time. But yes I’ve never heard of a under promotion to Bishop unless it was meant as an insult to shame your opponent for not resigning.

im so happy that you made another Chess support!

13:00 another fairly recent rule change (I think 50s or 60s) is that castling is not allowed across a file, it must be across a row. There's a famous chess problem that exploits this before the rule change happened.

I'd also like to add that surrendering in a chess game is a sign of respect towards your opponent. It shows you're confident in their ability to beat you, so instead of dragging the game on, you surrender. Sometimes in online chess, people deliberately drag on the game when they know they've lost and it's just a very scummy thing to do

Two of my favorites, combined. This was fantastic

Always good to see Levy.

There have been a few other rule changes in chess but more related to the administration than the gameplay, e.g. the rule about draws being reached after X-number of moves without a piece captured (75, then 50) and the end of adjournments. Time controls have also changed. I think the last rule change related to how pieces can move was clarifying the castling rules after the famous 1972 puzzle that used vertical castling in its solution. That's now officially outlawed by a rewording of the rule. In practice though it made no difference. I think there are even old rules that are more recent than en passant, like 'white moves first'.

This truly was one of the videos of all time

at my second ever chess tournament, both my opponent and myself didn’t really know what en passant was, so we both just en passanted like any piece that was on the 4/5 rank and next to a pawn

Doesn't feel like a true Gotham Chess video without his staring at the camera wordlessly. Also en passant mate is the most satisfying.

Based on the shape of the historical pieces at 12:29, it looks like Hans Niemanm went back to the fundamentals.

"The average really good chess player probably doesn't know how to make toast"

The easiest way to explain en passant is through the history of pawn moves, which is to say that pawns used to only be able to move one square at a time (even on the first move) But then the double first move was implemented in order to speed up the game (since it was so common to move the same pawn twice, and take up and central square/rank). However, that meant the opponent could now use their double first move to entirely avoid capture by your opposing pawn, in the case where you had advanced a pawn to your 5th rank on an adjacent file. Ultimately, this was an unintended consequence or “bug” in the double first move Therefore, they had to allow “capture” of such a pawn as if it had only moved one square (in order to balance the game), but only if the capture is performed immediately. Otherwise, the double first move is considered to have taken full effect, and you can no longer capture it

@ItsAsparageese

5 ай бұрын

Well said. People would be SOOOO much less confused by en passant if it weren't explained as "if pawns are here and here then you can move like this" but rather with the "if a pawn just moved two squares, and the opponent has a pawn that could have captured it if it had only moved one square, then the opponent can take it by basically pretending it just moved one square"

Totally agree with the smothered mate point. I just love it (still waiting for a game where I can do it😢 )

I appreciate you being such a fantastic representative of the game, Levy!

I think the coolest (and rare) checkmate is promotion to knight for an insta-mate

I don't know if it will go down as the most famous chess move, but Ding Liren Rg6 was incredible and won him the world championship.

I did really enjoy Levy's short on an en passant checkmate, based on when the question was asked about his favourite checkmate, en passant checkmate is mine.

As a kid, I read a book called "Underhanded Chess" which I loved, which discussed Fischer-Spassky in terms of the mind games Fischer appeared to be playing on Spassky. It's almost enough to make one wonder if that bishop blunder in the first game was another intentional part. (Of course, with Fischer's behavior in later life, one wonders how much of all that was intentional mind games, how much of that was just how he was happening to be beneficial in shaking things up at the time and putting the more "traditional" types of the day off their game.)

Levy never fails to get on different types of podcasts.

There was a major change to chess that was done by FIDE later than en passant, when they figured out that under a very specific set of circumstances it was possible to castle vertically instead of just on the back row. And they had to make that an illegal move.

@@kindlin : I believe it’s a double dash for the long one. Also I think it’s capital O’s, not zeroes. I just reckon it would’ve been a cool thing to go over castling and capturing!

@@jarlcarl_5148 The queenside castle is also _literally_ long, as you move the king more total squares before the end of the turn. I would say that nouche's explanation makes more sense, while you say your explanation with more confidence. And, googling tells me that you are correct. I like the double dash more...

i watched the previous one and thought that this guy was chill. little did i know

Loved the "you got Anna for this?!?" And especially loved the answer to the question. Stuffing a king is so satisfying

levy never fails to sacrifice the ROOOOOOOKKKKKKKK!!!!

The most famous chess move has to be the illustrious Double Bongcloud as made famous by Carlsen vs. Nakamura

"First of all, yes anna, second of all, yes obviously?"

Chess engines can actually blunder if they are set to use a transposition table (they usually are) and there is a hash collision. The odds of this happening in modern day is VERY LOW, but it has happened in the past when computers had less ram, so a smaller transposition table. (transposition table is a table that caches the evaluation of previously searched positions, since we can arrive at the same chess position through multiple sequences of moves, this usually makes engines much faster, and therefore stronger)

Wow Levy looks like such a nice guy :D surely he has never said a bad word in his life or insulted his followers for content, impossible😊😊

The spassky bishop block to me is the most well known chess move.

12:53. That type of chess is actually Fischer random. He invented it

Both names are used

There is an upgraded version to the En Pessant and it's the La Revolucion. Basically, if you can corner the opponent's pawn with 3 of your own pieces, you can coerce that cornered pawn to instigate a revolution. All the remaining pawns of your opponent will become yours (changing colors) and you can then use them normally. Trust me bros.
