This really shows how chess make us feel like the smartest human to ever live and then the most stupid because you didn't calculated the weird line

Gamora: "What did it cost?"
Gotham: Rating.

Like how Levy is still holding his queen at 1:06 like he is trying to move back LMAO

bro just removed queen from the board while calculating 😂

1:28
Now I know what people are doing when they let that timer run out :D

"Chess is a calm and respectful game"


also chess:

You should try baseball, you seem very good at throwing

01:40 The eval bar drop timed with the "ooooh my god" is very satisfying😁

The rage that burns inside when Gothamchess loses is something I think we have all felt

"we're playing the immortal!" - famous words before disaster

Well, now I expect Levy to end up in guess the elo series! 😁

bro got so hype 1:05

Out playing your opponent the whole game and then randomly blundering a piece is seriously one of the most frustrating things a person can experience on this planet

0:57 “YES! I HAVE AN INSANE COMBO! Bishop d6 Rook c5 Bishop c5 QUEEN D7!!!”

Ok, so for anyone wondering:

0:15 d6 is actually a mistake here. The play is trading queens first and THEN play d6 with check, you're gonna end up picking up the knight and the bishop and now you're 2 pawns up and your king is MUCH safer, +6 evaluation.

00:48 bishop takes on b6 is also a mistake by black, but the play for white here ISN'T to take the rook on g8 (even tough it's still winning) , it's rook to c5 with check, you can't take the rook cause Qxd7 is mate in 1, it's +8 cause you're gonna pick up both bishops making you 2 pawns ahead, and then trade 1 one of your rooks for black's rook, and the other one for the queen actually, leaving you with a queen vs rook endgame, where, again, your king is much safer.

Finally Qxb8 is obviously a mistake, the play is Qxg7 (+3 evalution), it's tricky, but basically you're gonna pick up a bishop, trade everything else and end up with 6 pawns vs 2 pawns and a bishop and your pawns are just unstoppable (+6 evaluation at that point)

1:26 and you sacrifies the rooooooook !!!!!!

Need to watch imrosen after levy just to balance out the energy

This took me a while to figure out, so for anyone wondering:
- He did not miss the queen on b8 and the rook retaking (he just drew the arrows wrong).
- Also he expected the king to be in b7 at the end, hanging a bishop after Rxd6
- I guess the other idea was to play: Re7 Bxe7, Rxd7+ and recapture the remaining bishop e7

... But black's king went to c7, protecting both bishops so the whole thing didn't work

anyway, is there a win after ...Kc7?

This is why i love chess

1:26 Levy Sacrifice the roooook!!!
