dude cant even explain how chess boxing is a thing, it explains what it is
Wired we want more Levy features. Please have him on again in the future
The most satisfying checkmate is definitely the en passant checkmate.
My favorite food blogger!
Rook never fails to sacrifice Levy in the their videos.
Thank you for being such a great ambassador for the game Levy!
Why Elo which isn't a short term for anything and not rather just straight up MMR?
Levy never fails to get on different types of podcasts.
The most satisfying mate is probably en passant chechmate, but it's really rare.
Below six figures?! Does Amnesty International know about these terrible circumstances?
Whoosh this is fun!!
Hate to disagree with Levy here, but you may (keyword MAY) need to indicate the rank for queens and (even rarer) bishops. In chess, it is possible to promote a second queen and if they end up on the same file, you may need to indicate the starting rank for which queen moved. Also, it is possible to underpromote to a bishop which, if you have a bishop of the same color, it is possible to need to indicate the rank for which bishop moved, but because of how bishops move and the rarity of ever underpromoting to a bishop when you already have that color of bishop, it's insanely rare. Possible, but rare.
"A lot of park chess players are actually really good"
This is so true.
I studied chess and really, I was unbeatable in the club with bunch of college students like me. My elo is 1600 in FIDE, I'm 2200-2300 on online chess. I felt badass after reading numerous chess books.
Once I came to this old damp cofee shop. I saw 7-10 old man close to their 60s and looked like they barely even studied chess or go to school. I played them all, struggled to win and several times, I lost the game.
Didn't know what happenned though but now, I think it is because "old" guys really love to talk more than this generation. They love to analyze without using engine, just screwing around and try to play like human, not machine.
And in fact, they all have a good time management, more than me.
Why Magnus always think everybody else is cheating? lol
Oh, they misspelled Garry.
finally
I'm afraid that answer to Mackenzie Weber
was the part he already knew.
'computers can make some (pretty simple) logic steps, just so much faster than humans (and flawless), it is the combination thereof that makes them so great'.
Analyzing 50 moves ahead, where humans can only see 10.
(or more accurately: 10 where humans can see 2) that's the part of the underlying algorithm every programmer already knows.
It is the value-judgement on every position (given the whole 'the total number of positions on a chess-board exceeds the number of atoms in the universe'-argument)
That pattern recognition part Levi mentioned or other 'simplifications' how humans see beyond the 'there are 400 possible positions when white is about to make his 2nd move' -> 'yeah, but as 300 of those are just plain stupid and 50 are effectively comparible, we still have 'human understandable opening-theory' '.
It's the computer-equivalent of this (which is hard) combined with the 'slightly simpler, but very fast' (which is trivial), that results in great chess-machines
I think the question was the former, the answer was the latter.
When I saw the "most famous move" question, my first guess was Paul Morphy's final Rook move in the 'Opera Game', and my second guess was Bobby Fischer blundering his Bishop against Spassky.

I used to play chess until I learned its origins.
🦖
No rook reference?! I’m disappointed)
♥️
It's more 60 years since the bots are better than us x)
I didn't get it. Could anyone provide some study material for en passant?
Man I’ve blocked your channel and you still appear on my YouTube feed
At 3:28 you can see the pain in his eyes.
Great video
10:23 aight i have that one down!
While smothered mate is satisfying, the holy grail is the En Passant mate!
Nice shirt Levy
We all know the most satisfying checkmate is the en passant checkmate.
The most famous move in chess? "The rooooook!!!"
"I lost to a bunch of nine year olds" Team Small Child is the undisputed champion of destroying morale.
13:06 Google en passant
Let's not go around and lie about chess and intelligence not having any correlation. I get that this allows more people to get into chess, and I also get that the deciding factor in your skill isn't your intelligence but come on now…
😂😂😂😂😂 Gotham chess 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
No way.
Ah… Levy.. moving up in the world, we see 🙂
1:02 what happened to en passant checkmate??
LEVYYYY!!!!! We love Levy 🙂
Pawn to E4 is definitely the most famous move in chess. Its the most common opening by far.
When did the chess pro make his appearance?? I just so Levy there, pretty disappointing
i love how levy can call himself an "author" now
based levy
The man is back
imagine asking a chess streamer about AI/reinforcement learning OMEGALUL
