I'm just laughing my ass off over a thought of an actual war taking place with relatively equal enemy sides and the king just decides "fuck it, I'll do it myself" and goes full Rambo
this is somehow even funnier when you know that Hesseling doesn't exist and it was just Van Dee Loo who was a fan of the Trexlor and wanted to see the counterattack on steroids
This whole game feels like when 500 rated players have grandmaster superpowers. They can calculate out 5 moves, but still don’t know what they are doing
@Kimchi as a 1,2k my brain halves itself in size thrice when sleep deprived so, I can confirm this is accurate(because I play chess online while incredibly tired for some reason.)
Fr and he didn't even just move and mate, he went ahead and started moving his entire army there. Within so many centuries of seeing chess conquests, this is the first time we witnessed chess military occupation.
@Keeper of the Hammer lol it's actually called fried liver after an Italian dish where pork liver is wrapped in fat netting and grilled over a fire, similarly to how blacks king is wrapped in a mating net. But I like your version better 😂
I believe the origin of that name comes from how little fried liver is valued. The idea being "This knight is as useful to me as a piece of fried liver, go ahead, take it."
This isn't just a regular dumb game. This is the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of playing the dumbest chess game ever.
I wish you would always include the evaluation bar. That makes it more exciting and helps the newer chess players understand the significance of certain moves.
You couldn’t find out who Hessling was because they don’t exist. The game was entirely composed by van de Loo (who is real) because iirc he’s a fan of the Traxler and wanted to see the counterattack on steroids.
@Gavin Swiftney apparently i looked it up and yes, this game was indeed composed (there's no shame in that tho, as a game as such can still be entertaining and interesting)
I never though one day I will see the king run from his throne , charge into the front line with his subjects even though there are still a lot of enemies , evade and survive multiple attacks, build a base on enemy territory and won the war.
When I was a kid, I always opened with knight to h3, and one time my cousin and sister spent 3 hours unaware that no one can win when only the kings are left, so yes, I’ve seen and played dumber games.
I got one better. When I was a kid, I 'invented' my own opening. e4 Bd3 Qf3 Ne2 O-O. Then pushed the H pawn for good measure. Didn't want to get back ranked, after all. Played it every single game. It didn't work out well. I also remember someone stalemated me, and I informed them it was a draw, and they were like "Whatever, I won. I have more pieces."
white King: Chaaaaargeee! He makes it behind enemy lines, looks back: Hey boys where are you??? White pieces in the back: You know, after fighting for you for so long, we thought well we should give you a chance for once...
Very interesting idea! I don't think levy would say anything below 1700. These guys found some sick moves, even though they made a lot of blunders and threw away winning positions multiple times. The position was just too complicated and I don't think even super GMs would find all the correct moves. Heck, even the computer didn't evaluate one position correctly.
Like no joke. I live in the Netherlands. And whenever I play with my non chess friends, their tactic is litteraly: "Koning naar voren" meaning "King forward". This was basicly every game I play with them
Imagine the board and piece colors being inverted to a light blue and dark blue for analysis moves. That would be so cool and make games like these easier to follow!
I wish I had the full game (this was over-the-board almost 10 years ago), but I once played a game in which I was completely winning 20 moves in, got impatient and blundered every piece except my Queen and a couple pawns (I was -20ish on material), but somehow I managed to start checking my opponent with my Queen again while avoiding threats from both his Queens and his Rook. My opponent saw no problem with getting checked because he was walking his King down to take my pawn on a4 anyway, and I won with the pawn on a4, the enemy King on a5 and my Queen on b5.
Good. No one has ever watched me play before. I somehow always forget that the king is actually important, and I can't think any further than the next move my opponent will do.
I'm a sub 500 elo and I can confirm that I did hang my queen for 5 moves but the guy was so bad that I checkmated him anyways because of a rook blunder that lead to promotion.. and a weird version of ladder mate
@YourPhysicsSimulator - YT Channel if you are no supergm you hang m14 99 times out of 100 lol. especially since those mates were not the good old forced moves mates but setups with multiple lines on each move. If you call that hanging, then every missed tactic is "hanging" something lol.
The dumbest game of chess I've ever played was some time in early may this year, I was playing white and got my king out in my first three moves and proceeded to do nothing but move my king closer and closer to my opponents side and was able to pull a kings mate. I know that it isn't a legal move but the fact I was able to get my king onto the other side of the board without using any other pieces to defend it, it felt like it was a deserved kings mate for me to do to my opponent
This is so much fun. Never knew people screwing up could be so much fun to watch. Love this side of chess too maybe coz I can relate to this more. Hahah also really awesome to have someone of your statute in the game to be explaining this so well. Good job my man and plz keep uploading.
I saw this game a long time ago and didn't understand shit and actually thought it's dumb. But now that you've analyzed the moves I think there's a lot of brilliancies too. It's like 1 blunder and then 3 brilliancies to make up for it. Nonetheless, it's surely one of the most exciting games for intermediate players like me. May be Advanced players will find it irritating but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I stood up for a moment half way through. Then I came back, and I wondered how in the world white king got to the other side of the board without moving a single rook.
@Stephen C. yeah because even if they do they dont go for the complexest of variation were every natural looking move is a forced checkmate from the opponent.
@Stephen C. You are kind of generalizing, GM's often play at 90+ accuracy, I agree but this depends on a lot of stuff. It's a difference if they play something like the Ruy Lopez (a very calm and chill opening) or the Traxler (a very aggressive and complicated opening). The Engine is an absolute beast at Tactics and will find ALL the tactics in your game and surprise surprise even GM's blunder. Though not that often against other GM's and even less against lower rated opponents but in an opening like the Traxler with a lot of potential to blunder even GM's will when playing another GM because there are too many possibilities. If you want an example for just how complicated the Traxler is look at Eric Rosen's games. Those were Rapid games Tbf and he's still an IM but nonetheless it's "impressive" how many mistakes and blunder he made.
@Crampe Cerebrale some GM's do play that and I'm not saying that they always play it, it was just an example... The main line, just like Levy said is Ng5 d5 exd5 Na5 and probably Qf3 though there are many moves like Be4 Bd3 etc. Especially in Blitz games I can and have very well see/n GM's play it. In a FIDE rated game though they literally never play it, you are right.
@Chess Crush 90+ accuracy is not hard for a GM. Watch a GM play on stream, often they play at high 90s even in shorter format games. You don't have to know 30 moves of theory to play at 90+. That said, GMs can and do remember many 20-30 move lines.
usually, i understand half of the games that are labeled "interesting". This time, i truely enjoyed each second of it. I laughed, i was puzzled, i learned, i was baffled.. a rollercoaster of emotions.. thanks!
In my opinion, knowing famous positions like the back of your hand makes you a god at bullet. I've checkmated people 20 points of material down because of puzzles
This occured 20 years before I was born. Man. I've known how pieces worked, but I've never been good at chess, so I decided to try and start learning. This match is insane, and I am thankful for you and your commentary.
I totally enjoyed this! It'd be totally awesome to have know what the players' heart rates were on each move (Just when you though they've tracked every fact about a game . . . this one would be so fun to know). I also love how I'd never heard of either of these players. Keep up the awesome work Gotham!
I'm a beginner and wanted to check some dumb chess moves to lift my spirit. Turns out they're still somehow way too complicated for me to understand. I guess i have to become much better to be this dumb.
When white's dark-squared bishop gave check on g5, I had honestly forgotten white had a bishop and rooks that they could use since those pieces LITERALLY HADN'T MOVED ONCE BEFORE THAT POINT IN THE GAME
I am a life long chess player that has only reached a max level of 900 at school related chess tournaments I have taken classes at library’s and also at public schools, I have to say, this channel has taught me more than all of my school years combined just the energy this man has speaks to me so easily I can understand everything that he is saying. Great job on your channel brother you are an amazing teacher.
Jesus Christ this was entertaining! xD Your delivery was spot on and you didn't miss a beat. I'm not that into chess but this was more entertaining than a lot of videos that are usually up my ally. Well done!
I think it would be an interesting chess variant if your king had to advance rank every 5 moves (I guess only if there is a legal move? Or perhaps it's checkmate if there is no legal move?) Would definitely be fun to watch the AI play at least
A friend and I, who have no idea what we were doing beyond the rules, played a number of games like this in high school but worse. We got to the point we only had our kings left more than once.
Levy: “this is the dumbest chess game I’ve ever seen” Me: “Pog champs here we go!!! Can’t wait for pikachu’s fat gifted subs” Levy: “the game is from 1982” Me: “umm what?”
@ওhanaও you should start learning the basic principles and then get a course on chess perhaps. Depends what you mean by you suck :). I think I suck and I range from 1350 3 minute chess on bad days to 1600 on good days 15 minute chess.
bruh ive been playing chess since i was 9 and i still suck because ive never learnt any strategies or whatever i wanna get better all i understand is the notation and thats it
This game is legit equally as entertaining as the first three Harry Potter movies combined. I also feel like M. Hesseling had to keep their first name a secret forever after this game.
Forgive me but this is not the dumbest game rather I would say this was one of the most intense and craziest game where the tempo and the conditions were changing so drastically that it is almost unbelievable. For me it is a very memorable and unique game.
This game felt like watching old Swedish wars, Kings on the front line, everyone doing their part and fighting to the last person and 'fighting smart', no matter previous mistakes. Risk everything to win and loss is only when there is nothing left.
I play against myself for practice, and my games are a lot like the one in this video while I'm... you know... "inhaling something smokey," probably because I'm not a very good player yet. It makes practice a little more fun, but chaotic since I can forget which side I just played 😅
This is the kind of brilliancy you achieve only once in life. I do hope that both players have this game framed on their front door. It might not have been perfect play from either side, but it is absolutely hilarious. And unironically, this is the sort of position only a really good player can navigate. Even the engine is confused. So despite White blundering checkmate multiple times and Black missing it every time, this does speak to some really solid ability.
15:27 For a moment I thought white was going to manually "castle" on the opposite side of the board by pushing his pawns, that would've been so insane.
The real dumbest game of chess is another game when I first started and fought against a beginner too, we made about 20+ blunders and nearly 10 missed wins
15:04 - "You are about to get ladder mated, even though my king is on the same rank as your king." That's when I started laughing out loud, as the true absurdity of this game hit me.
Pretty certain that when your king makes it to the enemy's back rank, your king gets promoted to Emperor.
Lol
YYEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
It can make any move in any direction twice
Wait is this tru?
ARen't they supposed to be promoted as co-god?
I'm just laughing my ass off over a thought of an actual war taking place with relatively equal enemy sides and the king just decides "fuck it, I'll do it myself" and goes full Rambo
that's how most ancient armies were commanded, so it's actually extra realistic
FR Tsar Nicholas logic
@Luftwaffle it was actually quite common in many countries even the queens have fought after their husband died in battle
Best fucking comment ever
Have you played Shotgun King? That's literally this😂😂
Getting your king safely to the opposite rank, and him *being* safe there, sounds like a lifetime achievement
@Euclodies Art commission for my OC
Yep
Sauce pfp?
"safely", as if black didn't have multiple forced mates along the way
*Achievement Unlocked*
*100G* In my enemies house
Van De Loo: "are you ready for our chess game man?"
Hesseling: *snorts cocain*
Hesseling: "now yes."
this is somehow even funnier when you know that Hesseling doesn't exist and it was just Van Dee Loo who was a fan of the Trexlor and wanted to see the counterattack on steroids
honestly I'm beginning to think that the Hesseling guy was just the cocaine bear
Lmao
Van De Loo: ohh just starting i see
This whole game feels like when 500 rated players have grandmaster superpowers. They can calculate out 5 moves, but still don’t know what they are doing
@Keldon McFarland it’s a fake game
Me asf
lmao this was me when i was a kid
That's the best way to describe this game
I have to wonder if this is "real" or some kind of inside joke/trolling by top players.
Me, a 800 elo pleb who can't understand half of what's going on:
"yeah that's such a dumb move lmao"
Im 400 elo
@G I’m 1277 now and when I’m sleep deprived I play at 500 🥲
@Kimchi as a 1,2k my brain halves itself in size thrice when sleep deprived so, I can confirm this is accurate(because I play chess online while incredibly tired for some reason.)
@Kimchi bro im literally 300 too
I'm 100 elo lmfao
White king is a chad. He led his army in the frontline and faced all these threats with the boldest moves possible. Respect
Ok LeLouche “The King must lead his people” Vi Britannia.
Real
Fr and he didn't even just move and mate, he went ahead and started moving his entire army there. Within so many centuries of seeing chess conquests, this is the first time we witnessed chess military occupation.
We need more chess roleplay. Brave kings, suicidal bishops, ...
@DerZeppterdesAldi historically, kings commanded troops themselves. even as recently as WW1, with King Albert and others
Alternative title: The greatest chess game ever played
@Poor Quality Edits Carlo magno opening:
KING, BEHAVIOR
White was so smart, He played offensive King
Underrated comment.
Agreed!
*The king literally on A8 taking on an entire army by himself
*Meanwhile the Bishop and the two Rooks are still smoking a fat one at the base
@Jack Of the box I mean, it is the Netherlands
Just like the two chess players
"Look at you getting criss cross applesauced in the middle of the board" most hilarious chess diss I've ever heard lmao
* screams * *INTHEMIDDLEOFTHEBOARD*
I died laughing
"The Dumbest Chess Game Ever Played"
Clearly Levy is unfamiliar with the average under 1000 rated blitz games I play!
@cheese lord I also have around 100 ELO on my first account on my second accont i have 1900
@cheese lord yes
@cheese lord 2 move mate is possiple and thats the best part 😭
The games can get pretty dumb, but nowhere NEAR as absurd as the white king being safe on a8 like that
I Don't think your matches are as dumb as this i mean the white king was completely safe on the enemy's rank
"This is called the Fried Liver"
They really running out of things to call these openings huh?
also called the scotch gambit trap
@Keeper of the Hammer lol it's actually called fried liver after an Italian dish where pork liver is wrapped in fat netting and grilled over a fire, similarly to how blacks king is wrapped in a mating net. But I like your version better 😂
@Keeper of the Hammer I personally wouldn't get it, fried liver is pretty nice, even underrated imo
🤣🤣🤣
I believe the origin of that name comes from how little fried liver is valued. The idea being "This knight is as useful to me as a piece of fried liver, go ahead, take it."
"And now, the king is safe on a8."
"The black king, right?"
*Anakin stares wordlessly*
"Th-the black king, right?!?"
Gotta love the offensive king strat
Lol
repent
White pieces: We are taking him together, Anakin!
Anakin: I am taking him NOW!
White pieces: Anakin, don't !
@Hameem Khan ههههههه
This isn't just a regular dumb game. This is the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of playing the dumbest chess game ever.
did bro just make a reference to that video game
Nahh, that's the product of certain hallucinating plants my guy🤣
"Buh Bye, you are banished to the shadow realm" has to be the best term ever for a checkmate
I think the phrase 'shadow-realm' was coined by a KZclip sim-racer named SuperGT. He first said it whilst commentating on his Forza Motorsport videos.
@Jimboramba nah its a jimmy neutron reference
I might be wrong but I think it's a Yu-Gi-Oh reference
Two masters play a game of chess while high out of their minds. Truly an amazing game
I wish you would always include the evaluation bar. That makes it more exciting and helps the newer chess players understand the significance of certain moves.
In most GM level games, it's essentially just a bar that's slowly creeping in one direction
@Gun Catto lolol
@DedeAdam I need it to express its confusion
The thing is the bot is very confused
the blunder evaluation would have been insane aswell.
because of so many sharp moves the second best move is basically a blunder
You couldn’t find out who Hessling was because they don’t exist. The game was entirely composed by van de Loo (who is real) because iirc he’s a fan of the Traxler and wanted to see the counterattack on steroids.
@King Studios
Oh thx
@Gavin Swiftney apparently i looked it up and yes, this game was indeed composed (there's no shame in that tho, as a game as such can still be entertaining and interesting)
Is this actually true?
Woah, now that's a twist!!!
After move 6, the engine was like: “ok, you boys have fun, I’m outta here.”
lol
Lmao actually
:-)
😂
I never though one day I will see the king run from his throne , charge into the front line with his subjects even though there are still a lot of enemies , evade and survive multiple attacks, build a base on enemy territory and won the war.
When I was a kid, I always opened with knight to h3, and one time my cousin and sister spent 3 hours unaware that no one can win when only the kings are left, so yes, I’ve seen and played dumber games.
@Taylor Owen My dad teached me chess saying that you only can move the pawn two squares forward on the first move
I got one better. When I was a kid, I 'invented' my own opening. e4 Bd3 Qf3 Ne2 O-O. Then pushed the H pawn for good measure. Didn't want to get back ranked, after all. Played it every single game. It didn't work out well. I also remember someone stalemated me, and I informed them it was a draw, and they were like "Whatever, I won. I have more pieces."
3 hours? iono
The entire game is just a throwing move from one side *countered* by an equally-throwing move by the other side. Legendary.
This is what I imagine playing chess against Michael Bay would be like.
And explosions going off around the chess board 😁
white King: Chaaaaargeee! He makes it behind enemy lines, looks back: Hey boys where are you???
White pieces in the back: You know, after fighting for you for so long, we thought well we should give you a chance for once...
White King: oh word? *proceeds to infiltrate enemy backrank while killing several enemy pieces along the way*
🤣
Imagine getting this game in Guess the Elo.
420^420
@Quelqun x it’s a fake game bro
Very interesting idea! I don't think levy would say anything below 1700. These guys found some sick moves, even though they made a lot of blunders and threw away winning positions multiple times.

@aesir1 ases I would resign after e4 e5
I once saw a game with 30 blunders in a row and then a brilliant move from no where. It was hilarious
Don't worry guys, he's just doing the Ultimate King's Gambit.
*All according to plan.*
8:16 The pause with you shouting "criss cross apple sauced... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOARD" *prayer hands*... had me in stitches. Great stuff Gotham
As a beginner, these videos would be much easier to follow if hypothetical moves were visually and audibly different from actual moves.
Yes, like changing the pieces to like a ghost skin
good point.
Like no joke. I live in the Netherlands. And whenever I play with my non chess friends, their tactic is litteraly: "Koning naar voren" meaning "King forward". This was basicly every game I play with them
“If the king doesn't move, then his subjects won't follow.” -Lelouch
I am glad my quotes are being remembered
@Frédéric Chopin • 172 years ago not as bad as shneizel
These guys took that a little too serious
Your a cultured man, I love you
@SHIKHAR32 shut up redditor
This game is insane because it's simultaneously high level, and yet both players missed forced mate numerous times.
Imagine the board and piece colors being inverted to a light blue and dark blue for analysis moves. That would be so cool and make games like these easier to follow!
I thought of exactly this! For some reason, blue is the perfect color to represent a hypothetical move.
I didnt know watching chess could be so entertaining
Klling ngers too
This just shows how complex chess can be honestly
This reminds me of one of my proudest achievements in chess, which was when I got to play the move 0-0-0#
damn and here i was happy playin k# on elo 100
@CellarDoor1729 clip or cap.
@Meshuggah Dave I wish I could, but it was an over the board game
post the game
White after this game was like "I always win with the fried liver attack!"
repent
The thicilian draaagon ith tho THRONK.
> "I always win with the fried liver attack!"
But interesting that he got through with the main line of it...
Lol.
I wish I had the full game (this was over-the-board almost 10 years ago), but I once played a game in which I was completely winning 20 moves in, got impatient and blundered every piece except my Queen and a couple pawns (I was -20ish on material), but somehow I managed to start checking my opponent with my Queen again while avoiding threats from both his Queens and his Rook. My opponent saw no problem with getting checked because he was walking his King down to take my pawn on a4 anyway, and I won with the pawn on a4, the enemy King on a5 and my Queen on b5.
Now imagine winning with 2 pawns against 2 enemy pawns, a rook and a knight in the decisive game to secure the tournament victory
now imagine playing with Knight, Bishop and 3 Pawns against a Rook and Queen. Yeah. The craziest victory of my entire 8 year long career.
This is basically me playing chess acting like I knew what I was doing.
Awesome presentation of the most bonkers chess game I've ever heard of. Half of the moves leave me desperately asking, "Why?! Why would you do that?"
Good. No one has ever watched me play before. I somehow always forget that the king is actually important, and I can't think any further than the next move my opponent will do.
This feels like a game where everything is or extremely planned out or nothing is planned and no one thought 2 steps ahead. What a beautifull game
Levy: "Here is the dumbest game ever"
Every sub 500 ELO: "Hold my hanging queen"
Those games can be pretty dumb, but nowhere NEAR the absurdity of white king being safe on a8
I'm a sub 500 elo and I can confirm that I did hang my queen for 5 moves but the guy was so bad that I checkmated him anyways because of a rook blunder that lead to promotion.. and a weird version of ladder mate

@MrTB Sounds like my kind of game, wanna play?

this is not the dumbest game ever. this is the most mind blowing game ever
you know youre in for a good one when he says “if and only if”
Damn, I didn’t know losing in chess banished you to the shadow realm.
usually, i understand half of the games that are labeled "interesting". This time, i truely enjoyed each second of it. I laughed, i was puzzled, i learned, i was baffled.. a rollercoaster of emotions.. thanks!
This was both extremely useful for learning chess logic and disgusting to view because of how actually horrible the moves were sometimes xD
GMs: "The positions in puzzles are too theoretical to be applicable in real games."
Real games: 14:00
Gas gas gas
It depends on elo.
@Nathan Yam Rush Hour right?
VNG fadezwyd lol ik
fun fact it's actually from a movie!
In my opinion, knowing famous positions like the back of your hand makes you a god at bullet. I've checkmated people 20 points of material down because of puzzles
At 10:30 when the King had to leave behind the knight he spent the past ten minutes saving, I felt that. RIP Ne5...
White after escaping forced mate the second time: You won a battle, but you haven't won the war!
This occured 20 years before I was born. Man.
I've known how pieces worked, but I've never been good at chess, so I decided to try and start learning. This match is insane, and I am thankful for you and your commentary.
I totally enjoyed this! It'd be totally awesome to have know what the players' heart rates were on each move (Just when you though they've tracked every fact about a game . . . this one would be so fun to know). I also love how I'd never heard of either of these players. Keep up the awesome work Gotham!

You have no idea how right you are about your comparison with movies :) Thank you for the amazing hard work you put into this channel!
I laughed so hard after I see that evaluation bar moves madly hahah.
I ❤️ this content. I feel like you just grabbed one of my games and gave me a private lesson. More like this, please!
As a 5d player, I gotta say there’s a lot of interesting 5d opportunities on this 2d game. Will def study it for later use
This is as close as we'll get to a Baka Mitai video from GothamChess
Damedane
ok
hi bobby
lmao
I think it would be an interesting chess variant if your king had to advance rank every 5 moves (I guess only if there is a legal move? Or perhaps it's checkmate if there is no legal move?) Would definitely be fun to watch the AI play at least
Thanks, Levy, I did't know this line of the traxler to win in 50 moves, but now I'm gonna use it every game!!
I have never, ever seen a king banish itself to far corner like that
A friend and I, who have no idea what we were doing beyond the rules, played a number of games like this in high school but worse. We got to the point we only had our kings left more than once.
I don't even play that much but my eyes are burning from this cursed match
Levy: “this is the dumbest chess game I’ve ever seen”
Me: “Pog champs here we go!!! Can’t wait for pikachu’s fat gifted subs”
Levy: “the game is from 1982”
Me: “umm what?”
1983 but close enough.
@ওhanaও you should start learning the basic principles and then get a course on chess perhaps. Depends what you mean by you suck :). I think I suck and I range from 1350 3 minute chess on bad days to 1600 on good days 15 minute chess.
@ওhanaও You need a coach ._.
bruh ive been playing chess since i was 9 and i still suck because ive never learnt any strategies or whatever i wanna get better all i understand is the notation and thats it
I was expecting a newbie game. This is worse
This is truly one of the chess games ever
This game is legit equally as entertaining as the first three Harry Potter movies combined.
I also feel like M. Hesseling had to keep their first name a secret forever after this game.
Forgive me but this is not the dumbest game rather I would say this was one of the most intense and craziest game where the tempo and the conditions were changing so drastically that it is almost unbelievable.
For me it is a very memorable and unique game.
This game was absurd.
Thank you for sharing it with us :D
This game felt like watching old Swedish wars, Kings on the front line, everyone doing their part and fighting to the last person and 'fighting smart', no matter previous mistakes. Risk everything to win and loss is only when there is nothing left.
They were playing chess but the evaluation bar was playing tennis
@Braylon what, I didn’t steal that
stolen
Tennis with trebuchets
@Calistix haha thanks babe
Underrated comment , imagine my like is worth a thousand
Now that's a true king, fighting with his foot soldiers on the frontlines!
This entire video brightened my day. Thank you.
White was so smart, he played offensive king
AND HE SACRIFICED! THE KING AND THE BOARD FOR THE ENEMY PAWN! WOOOOOOOO!!!!
I mean there's a reason why king is the most important piece. It must be because it's the strongest right?
king sacrifice gambit
That was insane.Enjoyed every bit of it
Haha that was very entertaining! Thanks Levy. Your commentary is priceless!
Some dude named Tracksler hits a blunt: “what if I gambit everything?”
@Marek Siciński well, yeah thats why its called counterattack
@buddermonger2000 it is more a specific very sharp response first studied by him, it is not most often called a gambit
@Marek Siciński God bless You!
It also almost worked lol
Traxler
Levy you are hillarious. I was laughing my ass off the entire video.
Loved the video Levy! Definitely the most interesting game of chess I’ve ever seen.
I play against myself for practice, and my games are a lot like the one in this video while I'm... you know... "inhaling something smokey," probably because I'm not a very good player yet. It makes practice a little more fun, but chaotic since I can forget which side I just played 😅
This is the kind of brilliancy you achieve only once in life. I do hope that both players have this game framed on their front door. It might not have been perfect play from either side, but it is absolutely hilarious. And unironically, this is the sort of position only a really good player can navigate. Even the engine is confused. So despite White blundering checkmate multiple times and Black missing it every time, this does speak to some really solid ability.
That's not only the dumbest but also the most entertaining Chess match I've seen in my life
15:27 For a moment I thought white was going to manually "castle" on the opposite side of the board by pushing his pawns, that would've been so insane.
OH GOD HOW DOES THAT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD DO.
lmao dont give him any ideas
This game is actually interesting and intellectual compared to my 20+ matches lossing streak
The real dumbest game of chess is another game when I first started and fought against a beginner too, we made about 20+ blunders and nearly 10 missed wins
15:04 - "You are about to get ladder mated, even though my king is on the same rank as your king."
That's when I started laughing out loud, as the true absurdity of this game hit me.
