That was back in our day, now every 400 has this list of achievements: -Knowing every opening trap in existance so you can't trick them -Knowing at least 5 defences that will crush whatever opening you will play -Playing an opening that makes you lose to forced mate in 34 unless you sac your queen after the first 5 moves -Having a sixth sense so they can feel when your queen is blundered -Being able to find 20 move combinations to cash in on your weaknesses of the position -If you survive the opening, they'll make sure to set a field of traps where if you do one worng move you just get obliterated in every inimaginable way -Activating a seventh sense to make sure they know when you blundered your queen, which probably will happen if you, by a miracle still have one -Destroying whats remaining of your position using simple tactics your tiny brain can't even begin to understand -Reach the endgame and knowing how to solve any position with 8 pieces or less on the board in any position -If you're cheating or you're magnus carlsen and reach this level, he will activate terminal level and destroy the world.

A 1300 can definitely know how to mate with bishop and knight. I learned it at 1300 myself. But the rest of the game wasn't played on 1300 level. Also it is very rare to see a 90 vs 80% evaluation on that level. Basically black played a fantastic game, but white was apparently even better. Now, it could have been a 1650 that couldn't stop playing after being completely wasted one night, and this is his start of the rating climb. Trying to research that possibility, giving him the benefit of the doubt, I could not find his account, which makes this thing rather shush, a couple of days after the stream.

In defense of G4 I studied the Bishop/Knight Mate with chessable because I had it 2 times otb and didn't know how to checkmate which drove me nuts and I'm also not +2000.

@64chess

Жыл бұрын

Strange thing to think about, but the N+B checkmate opportunity occurs in about 1 in 6000 games...but, if you think about it that means 1 in 36 million 2 game pairs result in BACK TO BACK N+B endgames (and that doesn't even account for games close in proximity...like one then another 10 games later, etc). So it's rare, but in the age of internet chess with so many games happening, it's not THAT rare. Happens to somebody. It also doesn't account for "near misses" where knowing it could help you confidently play the best moves. For example, I witnessed an OTB game where a 1900 admitted he very reluctantly went into the correct endgame of bishop knight and pawn vs rook because if his opponent just sacrificed the rook for the pawn he had no idea what to do.

I would say he's been practicing his endgame and saw a chance to try it (bishop knight mate)

The reaction to the 4th game was hilarious

Levy is too handsome and sexy to be good at chess. And it shows.

We play to fast at that level because we've all lost on time in a winning position and its the WORST feeling in the world. So we play 10 minute games and play like its bullet for the first 40 moves :)

I can buy that a 1300 rated player knows the Bishop and Knight mate, as a 1600 rated player that is wasting their time learning the Two Knights vs King and Pawn endgame. Great episode. I love how you handled the mistake in game 2 and all of the games were entertaining to watch.

Just when you thought you had seen everything in GTE, out comes the Bishop Knight mate We can die peacefully now

suggestion: reverse guess the elo. you find out their ELOs and guess which moves they make

in dutch necking would probably be the same as the Australian one

Always love Guess The Elo Thanks Gotham

That's why ladies and gentlemen, learn your Bishop Knight mate :D

As a 1000, I can say I can mate stockfish with a knight and a bishop because I learned the pattern once. Also the capture chain at 23:38 isn't tough to see at all, there are many other things that seemed trivial for you that were tough.

13:25 when you stare too long into the void, the void stares back into you.

I learned the bishop and knight mate basically when I started and learned mating patterns (latter mate, king and queen, king and rook etc), just for fun (I started as an adult). So I was able to beat Stockfish with bishop and knight as an 800 or so. I see no reason why a 1300 wouldn't be able to learn it. It's not really necessary at that level, but also not wrong to study that endgame for two hours and be able to do it. To me, it was just the ambition to learn it when everybody in the KZread videos I watched said it was hard.
