You kept even against Stockfish while thinking you were playing someone your level. It really shows how the way you perceive your opponent affects your strength. I know you're probably not going to "unretire" anytime soon, but I'd like to see you play a tournament with as much confidence as you had in this game.

This video is 100% relatable. I was grinding to 1800 Rapid ELO, and then I got paired with a 1950 rated cheater. The cheter played a catalan. It never occurred to me that they were cheating... the position was very tense, but I still held on and defended well. Suddenly, they just resigned with 6 minutes left, on the 24th move. I checked their profile and it turns out that they got banned in the game against me. That cheater only lost TWO GAMES, one when they were at 700 elo, and one by me. THEY LITERALLY MADE THEIR ACCOUNT 7 HOURS BEFORE THEY PLAYED AGAINST ME, grinded from 700 to 2000 elo, then got banned. 😂😂😂

For what little it is worth Levy, this is the type of content I ADORE. Specifically, focusing on what you felt and thought at the time of the game and how your reasoning worked. This is the good stuff man, just letting us see how a player of your level thinks and reacts while playing chess in a format where you can also break it down in more depth for us, especially why you thought certain things (It really doesn't even matter how well you do in the games as long as you point out ideas that may have been better or if there was some computer move in a position that would've been killer).

Once, I had a 2000 some rated pushing 6 out of their 8 pawns two squares out. They were playing black. I had no idea what to do. The almost complete lack of space really messed with me. In the end I had a Knight for four pawns, and just collapsed. The psychological and morale damage of that game was by far the highest that I ever got.

When you didn't know what your opponent's alleged abilities were, you surprise yourself; it's when you perceive them as HAVING to be objectively better that you fumble a bit. Take care dude, and hold your head high.

"At your level". Bold assumption that people at my level know pawns can move two squares on their first move.

“me rook attacked, me rook move” - Levy 2023

Always nice to hear of a normal engine losing against a nicer engine

on the move where they retreated the knight my thought process was this. With the rook guarding the 2nd rank black is now threatening to take the knight which wasn't possible before (white would have a perpetual at least). Now that the rook can block checks as a human I wouldn't be confident in my attack after sacrificing the knight.

well, now we know how hard that confutation is even for an engine

Well played! You played insanely well to hold on for so long

Apparently, it looks like the cheater blundered the last move

I had a game like that yesterday where I was just worse the entire game, but won when my opponent blundered in the endgame. Never resign.

My last 6 opponents, online and offline all opened d4. So the start of this video is super useful for me already. THANKS!
