"Only a bot would play that!" Sacrificing a Queen in chess is a move you're much more likely to see a bot make as opposed to a human, as humans want to protect the game's most valuable piece. In the wake of the recent chess cheating scandal, Levy Rozman from GothamChess explains how you actually cheat at chess. Using artificial intelligence, see how people use everything from bathroom cell phones to ear pieces to try to skirt the rules and gain an edge.

  • I sacrifice my queen all the time and nobody has accused me of being a bot. Just because I lose my game, doesn't mean I'm not cheating.
  • Me : " Blunders my Queen" Levy : He sacrificed the Queen. Only a bot can come up with that move.
  • @cmd31220
    I just love how if you're called a bot in literally any other game, it means you're really bad. But in chess, it means you're amazing
  • @pauldraper1736
    The most suspicious moves are not sacrificial moves, but weird positional stuff. Like moving the queen back one space because 5 moves later it's gonna save you a tempo.
  • @risingscum1865
    One time I was playing against a guy and as I was about to checkmate he pulled out a comically large pawn and knocked down all my pieces and then told me I got pawned. I think he might have been cheating but idk, he said it was a hidden rule.

    Levy in this video: "sacrificing pieces is something a human would never do, those moves are very bot-like" Levy on his main channel: THE ROOOOOOOOK
  • 0:09 does make some sense because it’s checkmate in only 2, however a human would probably sac the bishop instead of queen but I think it’s because psychologically an opponent is way more likely to take a queen than bishop

    I'm a chess noob, but it looks to me like Wired cut the recording of Levy's computer move analysis into random confusing bits and pieces for dramatic effect because they don't trust their viewers to concentrate and stay attentive for more than 20 seconds.
  • @SchadenfreudeUY
    0:54 3 huge questions 1. why does a treadmill have chess 2. why does it's chess contain a GM level AI 3. where can I get one
  • The first mate he used is actually a pretty common mating pattern, the sacrifice is nice but the double bishop mate is a bodens mate and ive practiced it a lot on lichess, i could totes see a player spotting that move
  • @roottwo5459
    That was literally the most tame queen "sacrifice" ever. A human would absolutely play that move.
  • That example felt more like a normal chess puzzle than a cheater scenario, but other than that, great video.
  • @digital5535
    ‘A human would never play that move’ Me who makes random moves: you have yet to reach my level
  • @hexagonk9665
    As an AI, I can affirm his statements are indeed solid.
  • @maxkappert9795
    Tbh Levy explained it very well but the example could have been chosen better
  • @pauld8379
    I had a great game recently, I won with a dubious checkmate. I used the computer analysis to see what the computer thought of my game. I had a 66% accuracy lol
  • @larsf478
    To be fair, at 0:01 there is no safe square for the Queen... And you would only have tonlook 2 moves ahead. That move alone seems very reasonable to me.
