12:22 He means CE, as clearly we have thrown out AD a long time ago!
The very notion that chess keeps having younger and younger players, this should be inspiration enough to use modern known terminology.
CE means Common Era.
We call it Common Era, because our present day era is common to 2000 years ago. We have police (ie Romans); sewerage pipes, taxes; housing; businesses; etc etc.
BCE means Before Common Era (simple isn't it?).
We call it Before Common Era, because there were no defined businesses earning money, no police (other than Master/slave horrors); and houses were basically any cave or bush you could find!
NOT AD!!! Get use to it. Its like been many decades now!
It's awesome how you bring chess to the world and sorry to see you didn't get the chance to say bozo in this interview. Need that shirt too!
thank god Indonesia and Poland didn't get mentioned,..
Au passant mate is the most satisfying mate
Wow chess called off due to health concerns.
Levy never fails to rizz up WIRED
13:38 You cannot en passant a knight, you will get punch in the face. 😂😂😂
Wait, Where's the chess pro?
Wrong. En Passant checkmate is unmatched.
Wired never fails to Magnus Levy in his including.
Ohh I didn't know he was Levy Rozman.Thanks for the intro
Levy is a great player and face for chess. Happy to see it on youtube!
Levy's the goat!!!
Chess engines can actually blunder if they are set to use a transposition table (they usually are) and there is a hash collision. The odds of this happening in modern day is VERY LOW, but it has happened in the past when computers had less ram, so a smaller transposition table.
(transposition table is a table that caches the evaluation of previously searched positions, since we can arrive at the same chess position through multiple sequences of moves, this usually makes engines much faster, and therefore stronger)
woah
You could see Levy try his hardest to withstand the urge to call us bozos
Wired did Levy dirty by calling him a chess pro in the title. Don't bother debate me.
don't say it don't say it
don't say it don't say it
don't say it don't say it
don't say it don't say it
"THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKK"
In my personal opinion, the best mate is one you deliver with a king move such as Ke2# or more commonly O-O#
13:00 I would've loved some deep diving onto Chaturanga and its history and how it eventually became chess, in terms of "balance patches" that is.
if you're wondering why en passant exists, basically its to prevent a pawn to have the ability to slip by another pawn without getting captured. A lot of chess endgames are about pawns controlling other pawns so it is actually pretty important that they're not able to slip past.
I almost didn’t watch the video because it didn’t have Magnus Carlsen in the title/thumbnail.
The greatest chess game of all time was clearly Martin bot vs. ChatGPT
I enjoy this Levy leaps and bounds more than the annoyance he is on his own channel
10:08 Brilliant advice. Another great interview by Levy 🔥💯
Best mate has to be knight bishop. Such a slick checkmate when executed properly
Levy never fails to wear a stylin shirt
chess for 2 months is wild
Lets goooo I love Levy!!
Levy never fails to fill us up
The day I searched him cuz the algorithm forgot him and I see this 😂
9:21 you can also do that with the queen if you promoted a pawn and have 2 queens on the board that can go to the same square
I see your smothered mate and I raise you a promoting knight mate.
This guy looks like he´ll never be a GM.
how could he have been there in 600AD or was this an oversight?
0:59 the pieces havin a foursome on a6
I would say O-O-O checkmate and en pasant checkmate is better, but ok
Sometimes you do need to specify which bishop is moving to a square (if earlier you promoted to a bishop).
The most famous chess move has to be the illustrious Double Bongcloud as made famous by Carlsen vs. Nakamura
Most Satisfying Mates (life goals after #1): Smothered Mate, En Passant Mate, or Castle Mate
this was not great
Please. Please please please please please PLEASE. For the love of chess, god, and country, STOP telling people to never resign!
Teach people to recognize when they're beat because they made a mistake and resign gracefully.
STOP encouraging people to waste time and be annoying.
Yeah, your opponent could also blunder, but are you REALLY learning because of that? Do you REALLY deserve those couple Elo points (Which, in the long run won't even matter)? I'd much rather see that I've lost and take the L and move on to another game, and not be a huge jerk holding my opponent and myself hostage.
Yeah, your opponent could mess up and allow a stalemate, but again, why wait for that for happen? Why cross your fingers hoping for it? Is that "I hope I get lucky" mentality really in the spirit of the game?
STOP telling people to never resign.
good man! the thing about ego is the best advice i've ever heard, i've gotta get back to losing countless chess games so that i can improve!
@1:05 wrong! We all En Passat checkmate is the most satisfying
amazing
I could not imagine playing classical chess against the same opponent for two months straight. I would die.
Levy's third appearance on Wired this year!
2:08 the way I gasped when he didn’t say Vienna
Harry Potter is also a chess expert? Fair play
nice! more gothamchess on wired!
