you should also do "the greatest sacrifice fails in chess history". Like the opponent had to find only computer moves for 10 moves or something insane to win the game. Would be a nice show of chess defence.

i like how in the last game levy put himself as the gm and the opponent as an IM to be honest tho this video is basically levy being a gm for 32 minutes and 11 seconds

I have a lot of games with GREAT sacrifices I call this strat "not calculate the line all the way and just impulsively sac a piece and see if it works" and to be fair it RARELY works but when it does it feels great

I will say that game four knight is about the most satisfying piece I’ve ever seen on a chess board.

You should include the games from the Botez Gambit Series because when he sacs his Queen he wins 95% of the games

"Took the whole house!!" Chess is such a ridiculous game. We have moments of brilliancy (not as many or as good as these) and then the others of pure idiocy hanging everything. Nice episode highlighting your amazing play to balance -70 ELO Titled Tuesday. Thanks!!

You’re great showing your wins and even greater showing your defeats. Love your content man

i like to imagine his neighbors are listening to this and are slowly learning more and more about chess.

¡Brilliant! games. Got to think outside the box sometimes. Love his comment, “I should have received two Brilliants for that one move.”

Watched the first 10 seconds of this video, it made me want to play chess, i played chess, gained 100 elo and now I’m back. Thanks Levy

Levi admiring his own moves is so wholesome...

My best queen sac was a game where I lost on time, I sac'd the queen and then the rook just for a better position, but lost on time because I spent so long calculating it

That 1st mate was a work of art.

you should definitely do "the greatest fails in chess sacrifices". Like as if the opponent had to have found only top stockfish moves for 10 or so moves to win the game. Would show off pro chess defence perfectly.

Levy talks about his thumbnail designer Me: *looks back at thumbnail to see if he is really holding up his queen*

Daily booster for me...❣️

Well, this certainly puts a new meaning on 'Queen's Gambit'.

Hikaru who had whole playlist of sacrificing queen and wining match!

This was the most amazing chess video ever haha. My jaw dropped in game 3's sacrifice

I love how that your always losing until you do the queen sacrifice

he looks so proud and i'm happy for him

I think sacrificing pieces and especially the queen seem to be one of the hardest and most fascinating aspects of chess. It is the exact opposite of intuitive and normally I would stop the thinking thread of moves if I realize that loses a queen without gaining equal material back, which I get could on a rare occasion lead to overlook a checkmate some moves later. Genuinely good sacrifices are hard to find, and I think a sign of being advanced is finding those ways

I actually liked this a lot more than recaps. It's a cool look into individual moves instead of just insane theory.

The third sacrifice was amazing. Congrats.

In the last game you were SO "not patting your back" that you gave yourself a GM icon next to your avatar :)

The only OTB tournament game I remember is when I lost my Queen on like move four because I went for an early Queen attack and missed the knight.

The aggressive version of levy are monster

My personal favorite sacrifice is the sacking the King

That was a super-cool theme. Great video, man.

I saw the Queen sac on game 4 straight away, beautiful combination, I shared in your excitement

Was a blast watching the first game on stream. Great video

Great video! Would be interested in seeing yout biggest comebacks/blunders ie. Have you come back from -10/-15 positions? Or thrown away similar leads?

Nice tactics man!

loved the 4th one

21:36 “Knight is the best piece” White king of top chess, 2022

I lost my queen 2 years ago, I still miss her

that SG is for Singapore btw but that was the cleanest make-a-way for pawn promotion *tears*

meanwhile i try to play like this and get absolutely curb stomped

B3 pawn is your best piece for the 4th queen sac

15:39 It is still a queen sac cause after Ng5 say he plays Qc3 removing and blundering his queen but now there is a checkmate with a queen sac like force check mate and it goes like Nf7+, Kg8, Nh6+ (double check so he can't take knight or the queen), Kh8, Qg8+ !!, Rxg8 and the final nail in the coffin with Nf7# and its forced!!

The queen never fails to feature levy in a chess video

19:25 bro a quadruple fork that is insane

I think this is my favourite video that you have made! Beautiful, savage and highly entertaining! Amazing 👏

Brilliant combination bro Levy, I enjoyed them and learnt something same time. Thanks for sharing 😀

I found the second sacrifice but I thought it was Backrank Mate but because the bishop moves it is not lol

I only have like 2 nice queen sacrifices. But I like taking my opponents queen almost as much.

I love your videos, and chess in general, love playin the game even though im only 500, but i notice that your videos quite literally put me to sleep, kinda funny full respect to bro.

For the second game, i found the right move, but couldnt quite see far enough to know how to follow through, with taking the knight

Why am i watching this after sacking my queen that can be taken, while also hanging knight, and also bishop, but if any of this pieces would be taken its fork of queen and king or checkmate, and if dont taking anything its checkmate. One of my greatest brilliance moves

I always have trouble evaluating if a sac is advantageous for me

I’ve gotten so good at Queen sacrifices, sometimes I forget they actually happen. Guess I just built different

You already know he slept well all those nights when he played these games

Those were beautiful games

I want more Queen sacrifices by engines

4:33 the light outside your window says otherwise, levi

I really don't mind people resigning in places like Levy's first opponent did. That final board position is way cooler than the end of the mating sequence
