How I Accidentally Beat A Chess Cheater

a chess legend ✨ congrats on an incredible win!

The cheater : "damn, he uses a better engine than me"

You kept even against Stockfish while thinking you were playing someone your level. It really shows how the way you perceive your opponent affects your strength. I know you're probably not going to "unretire" anytime soon, but I'd like to see you play a tournament with as much confidence as you had in this game.

"its the equivalent of bullying a toddler" levy is so relatable sometimes

Props to Levy for beating a cheater with 9999 elo

This video is 100% relatable. I was grinding to 1800 Rapid ELO, and then I got paired with a 1950 rated cheater. The cheter played a catalan. It never occurred to me that they were cheating... the position was very tense, but I still held on and defended well. Suddenly, they just resigned with 6 minutes left, on the 24th move. I checked their profile and it turns out that they got banned in the game against me. That cheater only lost TWO GAMES, one when they were at 700 elo, and one by me. THEY LITERALLY MADE THEIR ACCOUNT 7 HOURS BEFORE THEY PLAYED AGAINST ME, grinded from 700 to 2000 elo, then got banned. 😂😂😂

For what little it is worth Levy, this is the type of content I ADORE. Specifically, focusing on what you felt and thought at the time of the game and how your reasoning worked. This is the good stuff man, just letting us see how a player of your level thinks and reacts while playing chess in a format where you can also break it down in more depth for us, especially why you thought certain things (It really doesn't even matter how well you do in the games as long as you point out ideas that may have been better or if there was some computer move in a position that would've been killer).

GothamChess: a force to be reckoned with, as long as he doesn't know he's facing another force to be reckoned with.

i like how easily levy manages to insult 80% of us and we let him get away with it

Plot twist: Levy used Stockfisk as black.

Levi : " No one studies games they win" ... me: I realize I never analyze games I lose

Incredible. I don't play chess and know almost nothing about it but I'm drawn to your content and love what I see. Grats on the feat. Must of felt proud beating a cheater!

This is some of levy’s best commentary I’m loving it wish he’d do more content about his own game blitz games

Levy just casually happy his win against a cheater makes me happy too

A very fluid transition from beginning stare to the titular “Ladies and Gentlemen…” nicely executed. 8/10

It’s really cool just seeing your games and listening to you rationalize all your moves.

This shows how good Levy could be if he fixed that mental barrier against high-rated opponents
