The queen is only good in attacking right?
Who is better?hikaru or magnus?
DAWG THEY GOT POWERLEVELS IN CHESS ???
شاح مات actually means the king شاح has died
13:30, Queen f4 is also an option, right?
the "mat" (mate) means died in Persian and Arabic
checkmate mean king is dead
If you are smart enough to be a chess grandmaster, I hope you are wise enough to turn your intelligence to the worlds more pressing problems.
BIG G.O.T SPOILER AHEAD
Why does levy sounds like Barney Stinson 😅😅
the only thing they missed in this video was levy looking into your soul and judging you for 0.3 seconds before the intro
i hope levy did this on purpose as a joke when said he would capture the king with the rook😮😮
3:12 omg, I feel so called out lol! I never found a good way to learn chess and no one wanted to practice consistently when I was young, still never know what I'm doing in the beginning
0:34 the actual translation is “the king has died”,(مات) means died and (شاه) means the king so combined it means “the king has died” and not trapped
Bro becomes ChatGPT in minute 1:56
Where is the chess pro?
I just learned what en passant is during a match. I thought he was cheating! Lol
Shah means check mat means mate
internal assistance you mean
And he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOKK
OMG Contrapoints! day immediately improved
mittens reign
shah in albanian is atacking the queen or the rook mat means checkmate
7:20 Martin
Thank youu levy
My favorite chess game in movies has to be Cheers, won't spoil it but it's Sam vs Robin Colchort and its ending is so chaotic and funny!
if what you're saying is about the origins of the word is correct then the most understandable translation is the is dead the king is the closest thing to a shah in English and mat directly translate to dead i know because my native language and Persian share some words so the word checkmate means the king is dead
Well the word checkmate means “the king is hopeless”
Why is castling described as the king moving 2 spaces then the rook moving to the other side? Why not say that the rook moves over next to the king then the king hops over the rook?
Does it have something to do with the official rules needing a way to reference where the king moves to prevent moving through check?
My elo is legit 256
Harry Potter explains chess
1:32 I argue that the Queens Gambit was not accurate because they left out the most iconic thing about chess games. People loudly coughing
levy : vibrating device somewhere like in your show or somewhere else…
this aged well
It's wierd that the Romanian Checkmate "Sah Mat" is so close to the Persian "Shah Mhat"
In Bulgarian language, and probably other languages, we call the knight as a horse.
I like how Contrapoints just appeared ha
Just got into chess. Learned how to move and the rules as a kid but never played seriously until now. Is it better to actually study the game and put time into it or just keep playing off instincts? I seem to do fairly well after only a few days but I'm obviously only playing other 400's at my level…
great video! good vibes and plenty of info ^_^
Bro why is he so happy
Arent there newer chess AI's that use a different approach than just a search over moves with heuristical analysis of positions? Neural Network driven AI tends to do things a bit different, learning patterns rather than just "looking ahead". You could say they are more alike in their "thinking" to humans than older engines, ya know, they don't miss things or make mistakes nearly as often as humans do. That's the same concept that finally allowed AI to start beating humans at Go and more complex games, like video games such as Starcraft (in which realistically you cannot predict future occurrences or game states anymore because with real-time strategy games, there are a virtually infinite number of possible states, even compared to chess).
I honestly haven't read any papers about newer chess AI, and it probably is more of a semantic difference than anything, but it's interesting to me.
I though it was an Australian guy telling his opponent to check his king.

i want to learn chess just because I wanna have fun
What is the strongest piece in chess.I know that rooks are very important
"I'm Levy Rozman, chess educator and website destroyer."
With FIDE Master level of ELO 2300 one has already reached mastery. You don't need a Grandmaster title to have mastered the game of chess.
Sahmat is how we say it in romanian
One of the reasons I came back to chess was because of Gotham Chess.
Thank you WIRED! Hope you all enjoyed the episode 😊
