TROLL Chess 

Gotham always looks like he is begging for something.

Being 525 I predicted 75% of the moves and felt dumb after getting all the wrong moves

as a 700 elo player i can confirm that we regularly choose our saturday colonoscopy time to play our online chess games

This king hiked mountains, climbed hills, dodged arrows, parried swords, snapped spears, and charged head first into battle just to hold hands with his lover and then, together, plunge the dagger into the cold black heart of the enemy

Fellow Namibian, he knew what he was doing the entire game. Giving the people a show. Ian is Goated.

Levy if a bad move is played after a long time of thinking: *how could you spend that long and still blunder?!* Levy if a bad move is played instantly: *"HOW COULD YOU NOT EVEN THINK YOU BOOT UP A 15-MINUTE GAME"*

As a person from 2024, I can confirm that, yes indeed, Gotham's book is the best selling book of the century.

Always fun to watch Levy say “this is a terrible move”, “this is a much better move”, and “I love this move”, while watching Stockfish disagree. 😂

We’re making fun of this guy hanging all his pieces and losing so much material. But little did we see the bigger picture, an absolute masterclass in chess! This guy is what keeps Stockfish up at night.

The king has been sacrificed. Truly a chess moment

Fun fact: The king that was sacrificed was loyal to his citizens instead of them being loyal to him.

Incredible ending 😂

I would pay literal money to see each player's reaction.

You know that Levy is pissed when he doesn't end his video with "now get outta here"

"You know where this pawn from? Its from the first move of the game" got me💀

damn.. this dude calculated even further than Kasparov did playing Topalov

4:10 black played an illegal move. En passant is forced

Ian, maybe not the best at chess, but the best at making his king moves count

That last move cut through my soul. May black recover from this 😢

12:00 I'm fairly certain they didnt even see the bishop was attacking the knight, that was absolutely a "me attack queen" moment

I was not expecting that at all. Truly a magnificent game! One blunder and the whole game shifts

as Gotham's book, I can indeed confirm that I was sold 10,000 times

I mean you can't expect us not to run the king around. We're 700.

“If the king doesn't move then his subjects won't follow”

“I think Ian is a strong chess player than I am” I laughed so audibly loud

The stare went into the depths of my soul and took me out the realms of existence, 8/10

He sacrificed... THE ROOK,THE KNIGHT, THE BISHOP, THE QUEEN AND KING

Levy was so disillusioned that he even forgot to throw us out at the end

3:52 See, Gotham, you are wrong. En passant is not only a psychological brilliant move, but it automatically gives the player a guaranteed win. Instead, they defied en passant, and their horrendous fate was sealed.

Greetings from the Sudan, Levi, thanks for all your fantastic content, it's helped me to escape the reality of the conflict here even if only for a half hour or so a day. And to all the citizens of the world afflicted by conflicts, I stand with you

The video never even started but from levy's stare and the mention of the overpowered book tells me it is already a good one

He said imma be Hikaru and I see Mate in 50 bro is the next hikaru😂

He managed to lose a long game with all of his pieces (except for some pawns) still on the board. That's actually impressive.

HE SACRIFICED THE RULES!!

What a great ending. Theres nothing to explain. Just a batshit gambit that pays off

This game should be recorded for posterity and shown to all new chess players as "The M. Night Shyamalan Game".

The "Maybe they were getting a colonoscopy while they were playing the game" got me 😂

Levy,I know you are a new player,but a king sacrifice is called a checkmate

the king and queen, some of the last survivors just walked up to the throne with the heat. ending spoke for itself.

Gotham shouting out System of a Down as GOAT band at 19:30. Love it.

00:02 yes everytime i look in the mirror 😂

Props for Levy surviving another day

Ah yes, sacrificing the king. Something your viewers do everyday.

I love how dramatic Levy is!!! That was to be expected with this hilarious end!!!

You know it's that bad when he doesn't even say "get outta here" at the end lol

Levy overcame his devastating blindness... Wow guys this is so inspirational😢😢

Dude I feel so bad for that dude, I hope he feels better, never want to feel that ever again.

3:58 From 250 to 2500 elo, you MUST en passant if you can. It’s just neat.

I pre-orded a signed copy, can't wait to read through it and improve my chess further. Thank you for all your hard work and content.

19:29 yeah i guess you can say that this game was systematically going down for white ever since he sent the poor c pawn on the first move but he brought his bombs and won the game anyway. Truly inspirational 💯

The reason people buy this book so much, is that its not some useless merchandise with a logo in a middle but probably something actually instructive that helps to learn to play better chess

Levy is so taken aback by the guy hanging mate that he forgot to tell us to "Get Outa Here!"

20:45 Actually 103 points, if you take all of your opponent's stuff and queen all of your pawns. Edit (2023-10-06): Without promotion, it's 39.

Nothing better for a Saturday night than enjoying a horrible chess game through the commentary of Levi

Bro really Said '' En passant Is Not A Good Decision " -Famous Last Words Of Levy

"Me see queen, me attack queen" Exactly my mantra😂

Never in my life seen an eval bar switch from m6 for black to mate in one for white in a single move. 700 elo is a truly an unknown territory

Beo the ending was unexpected,bro really decided to SACRIFICE THE KIIIIIIIING!!!!

Game starts at 21:46

It's not even mentioned that in the entire game, black lost 3 pawns. That's it. Nothing else. They still got mated.

"Why don't other pieces fight the war, why do they always send the king?"

The troll face was everything, thank tou

That checkmate should be a brilliant move

Omg i actualy saw that comming as soon as the king started to move away from these checks

He didn't even tell us to get out. He just fell asleep

"This game is gonna improve your day if it's going poorly" - Black missed en passant on move 3 Yeah sure Levy

6:03 that line killed me😂

I think White learned what a fork is before they learned how knights move.

As a 700-800 player, I can vouch for an ending like that. Being up 23 points, having taken your opponent’s entire army and then losing because you didn’t notice you were in a position of checkmate with the one piece they had left.

Description: Sacrificing the king is a tactical play to intimidate the opponent intensely. Sacrificing the king sets up Mate in 1 Game, in which the player whom sacrificed the king wins the following game. This tactic is pure genius and is highly recommended by many tactical geniuses themselves. eg. Levy Rozman. Mental effectiveness = 10/10 Coolness factor = 10/10 Efficiency as thumbnail = 10/10 On-board effectiveness = 1̶/1̶0̶ 10/10 Overall rating: 10/10! These incredibly realistic and useful statistics determine that the 'Sacrificing the King" tactic is way up there on the tactic tierlist with other effective methods. eg. developing the king early, capturing the center with you king, and castling with your king and queen.

Nobody is talking about how Gotham said the System of a Down is one of the best bands ever, and my respect for him has tripled from an already massive value

Bro wasn't even able to say get outta here at the end lmao 💀

Wow that was great, I never expected the ending. I knew there's going to be a twist - I thought he's gonna stalemate but Gotham my god as promised you made my day better!!!

20:23 if he cant ride the horse, you' re always welcome to ride the queen lol

Love how there's nothing left. Not even enough to tell us to get out of here.

"If white could Monster Reborn the knight" has to be one of my favourite sentences ever

Reminds me of knight sacrifice the game between hikaru and vidit where sacrificed his king😂

Genius! All this time he was distracting the fact he was going for mate the whole time. You can’t take a piece that you can’t take

I almost died at the end. I laughed so much my lungs hurts.

And the End is the most replayed part of the vid,🤣🤣I am also mad at Gotham for not saying "get out of here" his usual Iconic Extro in this vid.

As a fellow 700 elo player, I had a feeling that Ian was looking at that move @13:03. Poor guy thought that it was a fork. 😂😂

He’s just trolling us at this point😂

Levy you never told me to get out of here. I've been sitting here for 3 hours now

That check mate was so surprising

His memes really become reality every day he uploads💀

A BRILLIANT SACRIFICE

Can you imagine the joy this guy had when the computer said its mate😭😭😭

“If white could Monster Reborn the knight…” 😂 I love the Yugioh reference.

Without Gothamchess chess wisdom content I cannot sleep...! Thank you ❤

Man, I started watching your videos since 2020 probably. This is probably the first time you got someone from Bangladesh. Proud moment that a fellow countryman got to sacrifice his king 😂

"Words cannot really describe what happens on this board" Proceeds to make an entire video describing what happens on the board

I like how levy just left the ending like that, I mean there really was nothing left to be said.

19:34 as if i didn't like you enough already, now i know you're a SOAD enjoyer :D

Nothing better for a Saturday night than enjoying a horrible chess game through the commentary of Levi.

It's like watching a movie with extremely entertaining yet partly annoying plot twists.

It was like an anime with an overpowered antagonist

20:51 38? King With 9 queens, 2 rooks, 2 bishops and 2 knights=103 more than just king

the stare today was nice and serious: 8/10

What an insane checkmate, at low elo one should never resign.

That was stunning! Even more so the way you set it up. 😂👍
