Why Did I Think This Was a Good Move?! | Chess Part 9 - [Full Livestream]

[00:00:01]You can't see.

[00:00:05]You missed those amazing moves.

[00:00:09]Um.

[00:00:14]Aha.

[00:00:16]Change music to chill music.

[00:00:24]We'll be doing the chess.

[00:00:29]I don't like just to mirror people.

[00:00:32]Makes me seem annoying.

[00:00:41][snorts] I think this is better for my side though.

[00:00:45]What to make the tra t title? Uh going for 800 rating in rapid.

[00:00:53]Um, I'm going to do something different.

[00:01:01]This is a dumb move, though. Let's not do that.

[00:01:14]Neither of us bother putting our horses up.

[00:01:17]If he doesn't take, I'm pushing this up.

[00:01:28]Take my horse.

[00:01:35]Huh?

[00:01:43]This is a weird start. It's not good start or I don't think, but uh it's different. I like different.

[00:01:49]Uh let me put this here to attack this.

[00:01:52]Put this is here. Can check here. This pawn weak.

[00:01:57]Um I can push this up and attack this. I mean this is this would be interesting to attack this. But he probably just take this. I should probably move this up.

[00:02:11]Let's develop my horses.

[00:02:15]What?

[00:02:22]I guess I'm going to No, cuz you're just going to take notes. I mean, uh [groaning] Oh, wait.

[00:02:36]Check.

[00:02:41]Um I'm going to do this anyway. There's stuff he can do to make this annoying, but I'm going to do this anyway.

[00:02:50]Hopefully, he just blocks and I can get him again. He's not going to do that, though. But, uh, probably just push this up and then I can't go there cuz he can take me there.

[00:03:02]That also works. But, I I don't think this is good because I'm just going to go back here.

[00:03:07]And then his horse is kind of rooted there cuz I can I'll fork these I put this up to defend this I suppose.

[00:03:27]I guess I'm forced to take a take back.

[00:03:33]His pawn structure obviously way better than mine. No, not that either of us have a good pawn structure, but it's really you might just he shouldn't just castle, right? Oh, after taking but like when he takes here, I'm going to move up here and I can move up here.

[00:04:01]Like that really blows open his side to to take this. He he'll castle over there, but like like I'll just be up in his guts.

[00:04:10]I guess that's why he didn't do it. Um but this pawn being here is such a vulnerability for him now forever.

[00:04:19]Um if I move here and he takes this and I move up here, he he can still save this just by moving this out somewhere. Um, they're just bullying me out of here, I suppose. Blocking myself in. That sucks.

[00:04:39]Um, this is I can't do any of that stuff anymore. Maybe I just move back here and try and trade for this cuz this opening would also be good.

[00:04:57]This is still defended by this. At least I didn't lose this pawn up here. Like having this here is good.

[00:05:14]Like he he might just trade me so he doesn't potentially have to do that.

[00:05:19]That's fine for me getting this out here.

[00:05:23]Yeah.

[00:05:28]move this and castle.

[00:05:32]I mean, both sides are kind of [ __ ] for castling.

[00:05:39]Defends on this pawn as well, which is nice.

[00:05:45]This pawn is the weak pawn and I'm not I'm would be mean to be bet up more so I could go like this.

[00:05:54]Um, dude, dude, dude.

[00:06:00]Yeah.

[00:06:05]One, two.

[00:06:07]Let's develop my [ __ ] horse this way.

[00:06:29]What's he trying to do?

[00:06:36]Yeah, I don't get it.

[00:06:39]That's fine. That's fine.

[00:06:44]I mean, he locks my horse to this. Maybe you're trying to force a trade with the queen.

[00:06:54]Yeah, I may as well just castle this way, I think.

[00:07:02]Nah, we we we'll move this out and castle this way.

[00:07:06]I'm surprised he just hasn't castled.

[00:07:13]I need think they can get like up here and take advantage of these pawns.

[00:07:19]Even just pushing this up here now because it's not defended. Then I can push this pawn cuz he takes I have this.

[00:07:40]He wants this pawn because it's not defended.

[00:07:47]It's a bit awkward moving this here to defend that, but it technically moves that this out. I can castle [sighs] [snorts] also. Technically defense is pawn here too.

[00:08:10]This covers the square for this.

[00:08:14]You can infiltrate here.

[00:08:17]You can't really get anything.

[00:08:30]Like I can just bully his queen out cuz there's one square he can move to.

[00:08:41]They just waste all wasted all those moves.

[00:08:46]I still think it's just better to castle.

[00:08:57]Moving this up so I finally have this on file and may stop him from castling.

[00:09:01]I've got no easy way to do that cuz he's brand his horse finally.

[00:09:18]Yeah, we'll do the same thing.

[00:09:25]Yeah, still we're still fine. I realized I should have thought about what was defended after this because the this is no longer defended, but this one's still fine with the queen.

[00:09:43]I will occasionally make hasty moves.

[00:09:54][sighs] This kicks him out. But I wanted to do this so I can actually get it out this way. But I don't really need him. He just is kind of together cuz that just seems cool.

[00:10:14]He can't take that way cuz I can just take. If he takes this way, I take and it threatens this and I and I can get up here and I don't know if that's correct.

[00:10:31]If he doesn't take and I take, I guess that opens the file still.

[00:10:41]Kind of just wasting a pawn though. Not a valuable pawn though.

[00:10:48]I don't know what he's doing with this.

[00:10:50]Like like all all the squares that he can go to. [ __ ] I think this is cool.

[00:11:24]need to remember to push up one of these pawns or somewhere. Probably this one.

[00:11:30]None of us have bishops, which just makes this interesting.

[00:11:41]Still got a decent chunk of time on the clock. Haven't had any moves that have just been like, "What the hell?"

[00:11:50]No bishops. is like they can't just be like you ever seen those memes on Tik Tok where it's like the guy's like checkmate and then it's like no and then like he points off the board and like in the kitchen or something and there would just be a bishop and just come from the kitchen and just take that's smart. I mean ex Well I mean I guess I can just do this but I mean If he takes, I take this. Defends this.

[00:12:31]So I can take. But why would I? Cuz I can just take this.

[00:12:37]This is This defends this.

[00:12:40]Nothing defends this. But if again if he takes, I take queen.

[00:12:45]danger levels.

[00:12:49]Uh, so I can do this now.

[00:12:53]That's that was really strange move because I can just take Yeah, still he's defended now because I've moved the horse.

[00:13:08]I could move this over here and move up. I can move this here, but Moving this here to threaten.

[00:13:17]Blocks my horse though.

[00:13:31]Like my horse is just such in in such a weird spot. If I move this up here, if I move this here, it attacks this in the same way.

[00:13:52]Where am I? What am I Where am I putting this after this though? Like I I mean back here. These queens in the way.

[00:14:02]I can do this and then double file the rooks.

[00:14:19]Can't go here. Can't go here. Can't go here. Can go here. And still put pressure on this.

[00:14:40]No, we can go there. What am I saying?

[00:14:44]My poor just walk backwards, guys. Don't worry about it. But why though?

[00:14:51]Everything's still defended. This is defended. This is defended. This is not under attack. Technically not defended though. This is not checkmate cuz I've got this here.

[00:15:02]Can't go here.

[00:15:04]And I know where they move us all.

[00:15:26]I'm surprised he just hasn't moved this in to harass a bit. Like my my castles are so much more active than his are. I got like pushing up here threatening this.

[00:15:40]If he takes uh I take then my back rank is exposed which I guess that's bad.

[00:15:51]So I can't take and take yet. I have to move this up to give myself some room.

[00:15:56]If he goes here and checks me, I run out this way. Okay, never mind.

[00:16:03]So now I can't take then take.

[00:16:07]Um, moving this up gives me space to move this in.

[00:16:22]But but no. Um, it's dangerous moving this up though.

[00:16:29]Not really though. The square is covered.

[00:16:35]If I move this here though, I can't move it there.

[00:16:42]Kind of tight around here without being able to hit this pawn.

[00:16:48]Getting in here is a struggle. But I can move this queen in here eventually. But I when I get the horse up here, I have to make the horse go somewhere else, which is here, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, because this pawn is weak. Yeah, the only way this doesn't work as if he threatens if he moves his queen here.

[00:17:21]Moving here threatens this. And the only thing reason he can't take it is because of that. If I move this here, it does hit that square, but then he can take my rook.

[00:17:30]Moving this here saves that square. So, it's like this one good move.

[00:17:36]His His horse is just so pinned, they can't do anything. This one though can infiltrate.

[00:17:53]Problem is going here. I can't really go here cuz of the queen, but I can go there. So, we go there.

[00:18:10]If he goes there, I guess I'm just moving my horse back even just temporarily.

[00:18:26]He's supposed to hold that square. I guess that also works the same way. But now I can move this up.

[00:18:36]So he's not threatening anything.

[00:18:42]But if if I trade queens, it's not really I don't really want to.

[00:18:49]I won't though.

[00:18:59]This pawn is still covered.

[00:19:12]Right. Yeah, he can move there now because of the queen not being there.

[00:19:17]Uh, moving here.

[00:19:23]It's allowing the trade doesn't seem correct.

[00:19:27]I can move this back and then move this up or move the horse up.

[00:19:42]It's only possible because this is here to defend this.

[00:20:17]There's an optimal placement for that, but I can't for the life of me think of it because this can still go here. This can go here, but then I can't defend the square.

[00:20:37]I move this up. I'm just attacking his queen.

[00:20:43]He trades.

[00:20:45]Well, then I go up then back down and then go like this and then go like this so I can finally infiltrate. I guess I'm more active. So, the queen trade is fine. I don't want to though.

[00:20:59]I can move I can move this here and this here.

[00:21:03]No, wait. Where's he? Where's he going? Uh, no. He wants to attack the queen. Here isn't a fork. It's a free square though.

[00:21:26]I told you you can infiltrate there.

[00:21:28]Like you could infiltrate that the whole [ __ ] time.

[00:21:40]Wait, actually, no. No. Wait, what am I What am I talking about? This can just take the queen and then go here. Ah, but he's got this still there. He's got two on there. God damn it. Ah.

[00:21:57]It's such an awkward spot.

[00:22:05]Like I can I can do this, but then he takes, I take, and then he could just leave as I'm trading a pawn and a castle for a queen.

[00:22:20]What's he doing with this now though?

[00:22:21]Like he moving here because the horse is no longer defended.

[00:22:26]I'm not sure what this move got me really.

[00:22:41]And like what am I doing about this? I guess just trying to push it out, man. Ideally, I'd put this here to defend this pawn.

[00:22:53]Kind of moves moves my moveability of the horse. I guess I can move here to uh attack. This kind of gives him the pawn to move though.

[00:23:09]This and this.

[00:23:12]Yeah. So I can I can move back here to defend this.

[00:23:17][sighs] But then what? like I can't just move this back here.

[00:23:55]Man, this is so incredibly awkward.

[00:24:26]So one up.

[00:24:30]No, cuz of the horse. [snorts] Um, I think I should have given up on this attack a million years ago and just like wheeled around here or something. N not exactly there, but you get the idea.

[00:24:51]Like gone here, then here, then here.

[00:25:08]Both running out of time. It's just such a closed board.

[00:25:16]This gets me nothing.

[00:25:38]The corner I can see was spamming in chat and some there must be something I'm missing, but I I just don't like cheating like that.

[00:25:52]I wouldn't have made that move unless you the spamming the trap distracted me.

[00:25:56]I have no like it defends this pawn but like for what purpose? Like I can start marching this up. I mean I could have done two.

[00:26:03]Not really.

[00:26:12]What was he even trying to do with this move?

[00:26:15]push this.

[00:26:19]Oh, okay.

[00:26:22]Now I can go here.

[00:26:50]If he moves here, I can go here.

[00:26:56]Yeah, he's attacking that, but it's defended two ways. I'm defending this with this so I can go in here and get this [music] pawn finally.

[00:27:09]Oh, that was a terrible move.

[00:27:13]Yeah, it's bad. He's going to move back.

[00:27:15]Um, but I can move here.

[00:27:18]That doesn't work.

[00:27:25]This sucks. I have to leave. No, I can't go in. I can't go here. I can't just take I have to move all the way because I can't go here. Can't go here.

[00:27:43]I can go here.

[00:27:46]So, actually defends this square, which is the one square that he can move through.

[00:27:50][gasps] I'm still I'm on this pawn now.

[00:28:11]But like he didn't just defend with his horse.

[00:28:15]Man, without bishops. This game is so slow.

[00:28:37]If I take, he takes.

[00:28:42]If I push and threaten this, he has to leave and I get this blocked.

[00:28:53]If he takes, I take. And this ah, he could infiltrate there. But I mean, I think it's still better cuz I get his horse, but he like wipes out my pawns.

[00:29:05]There's just no square that he can go to um where I can't get him except back like he's in back. If he does that, then I can take this.

[00:29:16]I could have taken it before actually.

[00:29:20]No, cuz I had this defended. Yeah, maybe maybe I should just taken it.

[00:29:27]I mean, this does give me another pawn that I can use to support this. But I mean, I think that was wrong to do.

[00:29:44]This isn't defended by anything, right?

[00:29:48]There's a reality where I do this, where I do this, and then I do this, and if he moves either way, I get his this and his checkmate. That's not going to happen, though.

[00:29:54]>> GTA 6 looking great. Do we get to hear any of your voice lines in this bit or is that later in the game? Uh, I I make the noise for the horses. Nay.

[00:30:04]And I make the noise for the rooks, too.

[00:30:07]Rook.

[00:30:09]I should have those sounds turned off. I don't like to hear my own voice.

[00:30:20]The nanocond he stops defending this though. He just like bang bang. Like I'm I'm this so defended cuz I'll have this.

[00:30:30]And if he moves this, then I'm just going over here and and checking and you know.

[00:30:35]Yeah. Okay. So now this is even better.

[00:30:37]And now cuz I'm hitting it again.

[00:30:40]And I've also got this over here.

[00:30:44]And I can move this up.

[00:30:56]I'm not sure that was really necessary though.

[00:31:07]I still don't think it's correct to do cuz I it just opens the file for him.

[00:31:11]That's really awkward for me.

[00:31:14]I can't get my horse in here though.

[00:31:29]If I move here, I only have four minutes. I need to think here.

[00:31:40]How do I get up in here?

[00:31:45]So, like B.

[00:31:48]Okay. So, over here I can defend here. I suppose alo when this pawn moves I can move here too and attack on this.

[00:32:01]So he takes I take I move here I can attack here again.

[00:32:06]Double attack on this would actually be insane cuz he can take with one horse.

[00:32:14]Ah, but no, then I can't take with another one. But I Well, it'll get me one step closer to actually be able to take this [ __ ] pawn.

[00:32:27]He just wants this file open.

[00:32:35]This is defends this.

[00:32:39]I'm on this, but I just can't I have nothing to defend back myself up. I How do I How would I defend? How do I get to this square with this horse?

[00:32:50]I I can't cuz he's he's blocking it.

[00:32:52]It's like B If nothing else, it means he can't push.

[00:33:25]Well, actually, I have one less defender on this, but it doesn't matter cuz he still can't take. So, if I take, he takes, I take, and then he takes. And then, so that that's obviously bad.

[00:33:45]I can get up here. He's No, he's holding that square from me. Okay.

[00:33:51]Um I don't need more defenders on this.

[00:34:00]Okay. Move this up. This up.

[00:34:09]This is not doing much.

[00:34:13]So I could Yes. So I can move this here and push this.

[00:34:25]He takes, I take. He takes, I take, which I win.

[00:34:41]This now has no defenders, but there's nothing really to get to it.

[00:34:50]Would he really jump and take this?

[00:35:07]Did I push?

[00:35:09]Would I want to do this?

[00:35:23]Pushing this here means I get my queen in here.

[00:35:28]But then there's nothing defending this.

[00:35:30]But it's now blocked.

[00:35:32]But now it's defended this. Yeah.

[00:35:39]The problem though.

[00:35:42][ __ ] Pete takes here. I'm taking this now. I can't move in there. I'm defending another one here though. Um, and then I can move this up here and attack this, but that's not as good because there's two on here as well.

[00:35:56]I actually thought about that long, but I only have two minutes.

[00:36:01]That's not what I expected him to do.

[00:36:04]He's attacking the queen.

[00:36:06]Didn't even see it.

[00:36:22]He wants this and this. It's a fork.

[00:36:37]Man, that's crazy. [snorts] So he takes, I take. Yeah. And so I get the that but that broke the fork. I mean that's that's the best option for me.

[00:36:49]I mean I thought he was just going to take the queen and I take his queen. I take and take and take it. But no, it didn't work that way. So I can't get over here now. Still can't get this.

[00:37:00]Um I can't abandon this though.

[00:37:07]I just march this up. Defend the horse, but they can't. Still hard to move.

[00:37:20][ __ ] [sighs] [ __ ] I'm running out of time.

[00:37:36]Uh, I didn't expect him just to trade. I guess we're just trading everything now.

[00:37:41]Okay. Uh, that's boring.

[00:37:44]Um, [sighs] He goes here. I block.

[00:38:16]Can't fork anything.

[00:38:19]He still can't move here.

[00:38:22]This doesn't get me much.

[00:38:35]I guess he's a hell on pawns. I mean, maybe we'll just trade everything.

[00:38:47]Oh, he forks with this. Interesting.

[00:39:11]Oh yeah, I'm screwed. This goes here to defend this and attack his spot, but I mean, who cares?

[00:39:20]Um here here.

[00:39:35]So I want to go here then here. He's not going to let me do that though. He's just he's just going to move this somewhere. Oh, he actually can't. Well, he can move. He can't move there either.

[00:39:45]Well, he can after this. Like like I just move here and then he just moves here and I'm screwed.

[00:39:52]You'd have to just not see it.

[00:40:02]Can you do this? Can you do a fork again?

[00:40:07]Cuz now I can move this across here and up here.

[00:40:25]He can't check me from the position he's in now.

[00:40:32]So, we go here and check and then move this down.

[00:40:40]It's not mate, right? Let's go and for a bit.

[00:41:04]I got a minute left.

[00:41:10]Like I can move up and defend it, but I don't know if I can checkmate him going here and here. I I have a minute to figure it out. So, I don't know.

[00:41:24]He now has that spot for you. Then I guess I just take there.

[00:41:29]I'm in a bad spot cuz I can't just check him.

[00:41:34]Can't go there.

[00:41:43]He's probably just going to trade, right?

[00:41:49]He just trades.

[00:41:58]We're just going to move this.

[00:42:01]Yeah.

[00:42:09]He's defending that square, too.

[00:42:13]I don't think this works. So, I go here.

[00:42:16]He takes. I take. He takes. I take. And he's stuck with a queen. He has a queen.

[00:42:25]Okay. Just Okay.

[00:42:35]How do I check him?

[00:42:49]This doesn't help me. I then can't move over there.

[00:42:56]This attacks this Guess I can go here and fork these two.

[00:43:24]You probably just force the trade, right?

[00:43:29]It forks both still cuz my king is here. I have more options.

[00:44:01]Um, he can't get here and defend this. I guess he can move here.

[00:44:13]Yeah, cuz this is here.

[00:44:24]At least I should just be moving in my king, but I can't.

[00:44:51]If I go here and he takes, then I move to take. I think he just gets the queen.

[00:44:58]Yeah. Right. So this like this.

[00:45:04]So if he takes Yeah, I think. Okay. And I move over here and he can't defend.

[00:45:09]Then I haven't have to get this one too, which is um So okay. Okay. So if I go here, uh, he goes, I take I go back and he gets check, right? So I, so he gets the place. I I'm I'm dead. There's nothing I can do.

[00:45:38]Pretty sure I'm too slow cuz you'll force one and get the other.

[00:45:46]Could I have got my king in faster?

[00:45:53]If I had more time than a minute, I think I could have got this.

[00:45:58]Funny.

[00:46:01]Um I wonder if it's going to tell me if there was a way to break through up here. Like I just I just couldn't figure it out.

[00:46:36]I was playing at 1,250. Like it it didn't like anything.

[00:46:40]The end, his end was 96.8.

[00:46:48]I was so slowly, methodically like moving up.

[00:46:59]Didn't take [music] Like I'm just ever so slowly improving my position and I could never get through. I could never get that pawn.

[00:47:19]So what's here? What's here?

[00:47:22]You want to push? I did end up pushing that up but later.

[00:47:31]I didn't open up the file.

[00:47:36]But where is this move that I I [ __ ] everything there?

[00:47:41]So wanted me to take this.

[00:47:46]Yeah, I can see that now cuz this would still be defended. Like why did I do that? And yeah, what a stupid move.

[00:47:59]All that to [ __ ] it on one turn. H Yeah, it would have been completely different game if I just didn't make that one [ __ ] move.

[00:48:22]No.

[00:48:25]Yeah, that was weird.

[00:48:28]Oh, true. It didn't even work because like he could have done this. I could have done this and he could have then taken this. Oh, good thing he didn't see that.

[00:48:38]Devastating.

[00:48:49]This week I've got seven wins, one draw, and nine losses. God damn.

[00:48:59]Duncan is not streaming. No concept.

[00:49:10]I hate when my pawns get doubled up here.

[00:49:16]What if I went here and attacked this?

[00:49:47]Yeah, one game should No, I will actually do one game. Michael and Michael, thank you for the uh sub. You here for the end?

[00:50:02]Yeah, I'm fine with that.

[00:50:06]So protected. Protected. Kick him out.

[00:50:18]This protected too. This protected. Yes.

[00:50:21]Just go back.

[00:50:26]You waste the move basically.

[00:50:30]Do I go here and then I can trade and keep the center?

[00:50:35]No. If he trades.

[00:50:38]So I I now just command that square. But I als if I also move here, I could command the square as well. And he just gets blocked in.

[00:50:46]And my pawns have a nice little row here. Could do this check too.

[00:50:52]Mhm.

[00:50:54]Well, now I don't have this square, I suppose.

[00:50:57]I do with the queen.

[00:51:08]I'm good. Nah, I'm not I'm not really good at this. I'm I'm not even 800 mill, man.

[00:51:17]I'm in the 70th percentile currently, I believe.

[00:51:21]Um, do I want to castle in this direction?

[00:51:34]Still better to do in this direction?

[00:51:35]Um, do I just continue my development? Do I just put this over here and just take this forcing him to double up on this file?

[00:51:49]I like my bishops though.

[00:51:57]Just defend this because nothing was on it.

[00:52:02]King Sy with the lack of F1. Yeah, I I didn't normally read traphat while I play. Yeah, was my theory as well. Yeah, this um I don't like the cheat. Can't move this up. It's not defended.

[00:52:18]I'm just square to here. I can just move this over here. Defend this another way.

[00:52:31]We'll go out further here.

[00:52:36]He might just kick me out though. Yeah, he can't easily do it because I'm I'm a hit at this. So, he can't just like, not that he can right now, but he can't just leave. And then I I take this [music] free pawn because nothing's defending this one except this.

[00:52:57]I'm going move this pawn up to defend it. Move the queen so I can castle this way cuz nothing's defending this right now.

[00:53:09]So like that also frees me to go out over here and here. Doesn't block my queen.

[00:53:21]Also just block this check. Not that he's likely to give it.

[00:53:31]Oh [ __ ] Yeah, cuz he's defended this.

[00:53:33]Right. Right. Right. That was stupid.

[00:53:48]Um, it's not really a fork. What I could do is take this and so he'd have to take and then I could take here which would recover the material but like It also means I can more freely check here actually.

[00:54:28]Of course, he could take the pawn here, which would mean he'd still be a pawn up. Like, I'd take here and he'd take here.

[00:54:48]of Of course, then the queen would be on this file and that'd be even more devastating, right?

[00:55:02]currently this covers the square for this check. But yeah, let's do this to attack this. But better do this.

[00:55:19]Well, cuz this into this is a potential fork.

[00:55:28]And that's hard to kick out cuz he's lacking these pawns. There's nothing defending this. But this is check.

[00:55:40]Um, this is check. Sorry. This is check. So, if I check here, he can move here and then I can move here.

[00:55:52]And then he just moves and I'm screwed here.

[00:56:00]If I move here, he's just here.

[00:56:07]Or you can block with the queen, I suppose. But I think hunting this out is still good.

[00:56:23]Actually, I can't check here.

[00:56:27]Ah, no. It he moves the king.

[00:56:32]So, he go he he has to block, which he Well, no, he won't do. Um, well, technically he could block here and I take and then he takes here.

[00:56:45]and then he would get my bishop. So that'd be like a good move just blocking here.

[00:56:57]Um moving here.

[00:57:00]If I check him here, he moves here or just blocks with the queen, which No, blocking with the queen here works. I think it's just fine. Just put this out here. Yeah, I don't think following up with this is worth it. I can check with this, but I don't think that's worth it either. Um, maybe if I check here I have time. Um, like I go over here and harass these pawns.

[00:57:50]I'm defended here with this.

[00:57:54]Push this, but not really.

[00:57:57]Moving this out here.

[00:58:01]I can check here and then check with this, but he will more than likely just block me.

[00:58:09]Now, he might still run. He might just be dumb enough to run.

[00:58:16]It's risky cuz this is discover. But he he Yeah, it's also kind of awkward. I mean, I have to move here or here. I guess back, but cuz I've got this pawn here that's really really kind well not it's kind of devastating like it's really limited in the squares he can go if he just blocks here though he's fine I trade queens He's got two on file here, which is really concerning.

[00:59:20]Shouldn't matter cuz I've got this covered here. I think I should move up here and threaten here or the pawns cuz I can go bang bang.

[00:59:31]His pieces are too crowded up there for it really to be a problem.

[00:59:36]So I do this and then I move this here because if he goes down here like I can just take and take and I also got three.

[00:59:42]So I got three on this and he's got two but here here two pawns and threatening to check and also like any thing defending is getting be hit by a bishop. I might just move this forward then.

[01:00:11]What if you Yeah, I'm still hitting at this though. So like this is good a good move. Like this this is a great move because I'm I'm not threatened here.

[01:00:28]I'm threatening to take this.

[01:00:31]This is good. Um, and I'm threatening to check here once this is gone.

[01:00:46]His pieces are just so crowded here. And getting this here as well blocks this escape square too.

[01:01:20]If I check.

[01:01:24]Is he just Yeah. Yeah.

[01:01:27]Same thing now.

[01:01:30]So, if I check now, he's at my bishop, but I don't think that matters.

[01:01:37]So, if I check now, uh, but he could block with this, but he Well, yeah. So, I guess he could block with that.

[01:01:50]If he blocks with the queen again, I just take it with us.

[01:01:54]Okay. Oh, he's just running. Oh, okay.

[01:02:11]This is hanging. Got to remember. So is this actually his pawn is now in the way. [ __ ] No.

[01:02:33]So uh I can take this This pawn is exactly perfectly in the way.

[01:02:59][ __ ] Even even sacrificing doesn't work.

[01:03:31]Damn it.

[01:03:52]I don't think that ends up going what well for me anyway.

[01:03:59]Um I can't block this and save both. sucks.

[01:04:11]There must have been something I could have done there.

[01:04:14]It's not good enough to see it.

[01:04:32]So I go here.

[01:04:34]Cons.

[01:04:47]I could go here and let my queen go then do this discover check. But no, there's no way cuz he's got the horse still defend. Like there's no way I can just uh can I really hunt him out? Oh, that's V. It's putting a lot of faith in me cuz this is check. This um so this this is check. This is check. So he's can only go here.

[01:05:12]Um but he can block this as well. If he if he just blocks it, it's not going to work.

[01:05:30]I can't even threaten his queen with my queen.

[01:05:34]If I could threaten his queen with my queen, I'd be fine. But I can't have a place where I'm defended.

[01:05:41]There's no place I'm defended.

[01:05:48]They're so tempting just to take this and so putting his queen out of the game.

[01:05:58]I'm sure people better at the game would do that.

[01:06:32]If I'm not doing that, where am I going?

[01:06:34]here.

[01:07:08]Yeah, just trying to route over here. I can't take that square though.

[01:07:13]Move this up. Go here.

[01:07:21]Now I just go here now.

[01:07:40]So I can go here. Um, it's not check though.

[01:07:46]That's check. Take take. I take. Still not check though. He's pushing this pawn though. That's checkmate.

[01:07:54]But surely he can stop it. No, he can't.

[01:07:57]Just stop it there.

[01:08:00]This is two to check.

[01:08:18]There's so many ways he can just stop this.

[01:08:21]early. Oh, okay. Cuz I mean, if he puts this, I put this and he like, you know, like like over there. But this is defending the square with with the horse.

[01:08:35]I can take this pawn, but like why You got nothing. Ah, he took the pawn there. Smart.

[01:09:18]So I guess now we go the second plan which is this. No, can't do that. Ah, so this Wait a second. That's even better than what I was doing.

[01:09:35]I guess I couldn't know he was going to defend it, but this and here.

[01:09:40]Oh, it's way better. But he can. That's what is that, Benner?

[01:09:48]I feel like there's more ways to stop that because you can.

[01:09:52][ __ ] That doesn't work either because of that. God.

[01:09:58]I was so close.

[01:10:07]This isn't for any winner. So, you can't move this. Now, now I check him.

[01:10:16]And the square is still taken. So like I can't go here.

[01:10:26]Can't go here. So he goes here and I go here and he bounces back and I go here.

[01:10:37]He can get his queen in here.

[01:10:54]Yeah, which would devastate me. [ __ ] But then I'm just I guess I'm just going up here taking the pawn.

[01:11:11]cuz he's he's too too quick. Yeah. [ __ ] This swap switch and this. He's up four.

[01:11:19]Like this would put me back even.

[01:11:38]Oh, I [ __ ] I didn't even think about that. [ __ ] I hate my life.

[01:11:47]Why am I so bad at this game? He still can't move and we still get this. Surely this doesn't work. But I I didn't even consider that. Like even if this works.

[01:11:56]Did not consider it. Is he just going to push this pawn?

[01:12:04]I take. I can check here.

[01:12:15]I had it, man. I was I just It just crumbled out of my hands.

[01:12:22]I was just giving him porn after porn.

[01:12:41]What?

[01:12:47]Well, okay. He didn't see it. Sick.

[01:12:49]Cool.

[01:12:54]He sees it now.

[01:13:01]Yeah.

[01:13:03]I mean, I could could just move and leave.

[01:13:06]No, we'll do that after.

[01:13:33]his uh um king is blocked off.

[01:13:41]Um he's forked both these uh [ __ ] So I have to move here to defend this.

[01:13:52]Uh it's not a real fork then. Um, but it means I free is king.

[01:14:06]Yeah.

[01:14:09]Going to stick to white squares.

[01:14:14]His bishop [music] is then powerless.

[01:14:21]And I go get my king here.

[01:14:37]Is there a world like I just march up?

[01:14:43]Did I have time?

[01:14:46]No, I didn't. I didn't have time. No.

[01:14:49]>> Hello, Matt. Did you see that Trail of Three audio was leaked approximately?

[01:14:54]>> No, I I didn't know. Just just the audio.

[01:15:00]That's weird.

[01:15:04]I mean, this is a fork here, but here then here. No, cuz he takes here then here. Let's check.

[01:15:35]Just saving this getting this off this file. Going back here so I can take here.

[01:15:41]No. What am I doing? He's attacking both.

[01:15:59]I got nothing more threatening. Do I?

[01:16:02]No.

[01:16:06]So that kind of forces the trade, right?

[01:16:08]Or he loses this and gets t gets taken into check.

[01:16:14]He could move this here.

[01:16:21]Finally getting that into the game.

[01:16:27]Then I can move this to do this this pawn though.

[01:16:34]I only got four minutes left. Got a time.

[01:16:39]I need to get uh this up if I can.

[01:16:45]Honestly, here.

[01:16:52]Yeah, he did. Okay. So, I can move this here. Move this here and do this. And no, it's not check cuz he moves this way around. Yeah, I can move back here and fork. But he will just move here and defend.

[01:17:13]He's pushing me out. That's right. Okay.

[01:17:17]Do I care about this pawn or do I just start pushing my own pawn?

[01:17:29]Yeah.

[01:17:43]I don't know which one to push.

[01:17:53]Think putting here.

[01:18:03]He's not progressing with this.

[01:18:14]His rook is eventually getting me in this game. Like I can go check and it pushes him off the file.

[01:18:25]He goes back this way.

[01:18:36]And now I'm here.

[01:18:51]This is more important.

[01:18:55]This is his baby, right? Like I can I've got time. Especially with the rook.

[01:19:11]This is check.

[01:19:13]There's nothing you can do to stop it.

[01:19:42]surely it's my job to stop this.

[01:19:46]Yeah.

[01:19:48]So, let's go behind it.

[01:19:55]Can I make it in time?

[01:19:57]Oh, he's not going to try.

[01:20:01]Uh, I'm going to get one of these away, right?

[01:20:07]Yeah, there's there's no way I truly It's either going to be stalemate or one of these is going to get away and he's not going to have time to kill them all.

[01:20:17]That was dumb. Like, he could have like moved down here to block me off.

[01:20:25]Oh, he says, "Let me have it."

[01:20:43][snorts] I'm not even sure that's correct, but cuz I could just take this. Oh, that's that's dumb. That's not correct.

[01:21:05]He's blocked off this file now.

[01:21:15]He can't get here.

[01:21:18]Can I just I could just check in with the checkmate in with the rook, right?

[01:21:24]Hypothetically.

[01:21:33]Well, actually, I can do this cuz this is saving this.

[01:21:40]Yeah.

[01:21:52]That's not as good though cuz if he goes here, I can't move up this one.

[01:22:12]That's fine though. This is even if even if I go in front of here and he checks me and takes this, I can then take and my pawns run off. That's fine.

[01:22:33]Yeah, this is fine.

[01:22:40]Why?

[01:22:42]That just helps me.

[01:22:45]He He just ran my king to my pawns.

[01:22:52]And sure, you can now attack this pawn, but good luck. by my kings then now.

[01:23:14]So he wants to go behind Uh when he tries I'll go down cuz he can't get his king to support cuz this is you can't assail this as a king.

[01:24:14]Um I don't want the king so I can Uh, can't. Okay. No, you need to go here.

[01:24:26]So, we can't go behind.

[01:24:29]Yeah.

[01:24:50]I should have done up here.

[01:24:56]It doesn't matter though. I could whichever one I push I can defend the other cuz I can go you know I'm not saying this is the most efficient way of doing this but this is the exact same I can go here.

[01:25:39]We will slowly walk to the other side of the arena.

[01:25:46]But now it gives him more room though at the bottom here.

[01:26:04]He's going down then behind this and I'm going to be here.

[01:26:17]You go down and check me and I'll move up here.

[01:26:26]This guy is stubborn as [ __ ] But understandable the because we're low elo at any point here I could have made a mistake.

[01:26:52]So I can just move here.

[01:27:06]I can just keep moving this.

[01:27:17]I can do that, too.

[01:27:32]to go behind or whatever. But The problem is he's going to go up here.

[01:28:37]cuz he can check me here. No, not really.

[01:28:42]Cuz he can't check me here.

[01:28:56]This is so dumb of me to do. Like I can I can still do it. Like as in I move one, he takes, then I queen. Like I I can get the queen, but like there has to be a better way of doing this. Um just like this. He moves closer, but it doesn't matter cuz I just move this up.

[01:29:48]So you can take that now.

[01:29:51]No, this is this is not the correct way of doing this, but like it gets me the queen and it defends whatever.

[01:30:03]Oh, but he can check me here. Oh, he didn't do that. That's silly.

[01:30:10]Could he have just checked me there and taken that pawn? No, because I would have taken. Yeah.

[01:30:19]So, he does this, does this, it defends the pawn and then we just move up the pawn or I like, you know.

[01:30:26]Yeah.

[01:30:32]There had to be a more efficient way of doing this though.

[01:31:07]Woo.

[01:31:09]You can bet with the queen and king.

[01:31:10]Yeah, but like there's a higher chance that I stay on me, so I may as well just make the pawn.

[01:31:16]I like coming to first person with 2,000 ELO. Get out of here.

[01:31:23]Dude, like you may criticize him for being stubborn, but I have just thrown queens. He's a queen. My rating 1,500 96.5.

[01:31:38]Wow.

[01:31:42]I was like, I am struggling so much with this. There must be a simpler way to do this.

[01:31:48]Oh, you can't see. Oh. Oh, no. Wait. You You You are never able to see my stuff this whole time.

[01:31:57]Oh [ __ ] Was I off screen or half Was I off screen half the time? So Oh my god.

[01:32:08]Well, chess quality was higher than the visual quality.

[01:32:27]I got a brilliant move. Let's see what this was. I I I don't get many of those often.

[01:32:48]Okay, cool.

[01:32:50]Let's see this.

[01:32:52]Oh, look at me.

[01:32:55]Oh, but look see how high black was ahead. Remember he had it was a whole piece up and then he threw that. What's this? You allow opponents capture a pawn and win material and follow up trades.

[01:33:14]>> Oh yeah, cuz I I I missed him doing that. Yeah, that's that's a Yeah, I [ __ ] that up.

[01:33:21]That was the brilliant move.

[01:33:24]Oh yeah, so Oh, yeah. Cuz I'm doing a piece sacrifice to even out things. Oh yeah, that's a brilliant sacrifice.

[01:33:32]Thank you. Thank you, machine.

[01:33:36]Great.

[01:33:40]Yeah. So, you want me to get take this?

[01:33:41]So, yeah. Okay. So, in my head, I was like, surely there's some way that I can hunt him out to checkmate with this, but there wasn't. And so, I was talking about going over here, and I was like, ah, so this whole thing was me um, you know. Oh.

[01:34:03]Oh, yeah. That would have been Wait, why would that Why would that have been devastating?

[01:34:12]Oh, cuz I Yeah, I couldn't do check. But Well, cuz you can hunt me out. Oh, cuz it blocks off this. Oh, no. Yeah.

[01:34:44]it checks and so I'm trying to get myself back. Ah, okay.

[01:34:49]Imagine if I would have seen this. Like, can you not just check like that? No.

[01:34:56]Cuz I got the bishop there. That's right. Yeah.

[01:34:59]Lucky me.

[01:35:01]Check.

[01:35:03]Okay, enough of this. This is Yeah, clearly it was a mistake what I was trying to do over here with these all these checks and stuff and moving him.

[01:35:12]Uh, and where was that move that he did where he lost a piece? There it was.

[01:35:22]If they've made a mistake and their pawn is now lost.

[01:35:26]Yeah.

[01:35:29]Yeah. That just helped me. Yeah. And then I had a chance.

[01:35:35]So, we're just cleaning up here.

[01:35:42]I'm slowly eating every pawn.

[01:35:47]Oh, he like he he liked that. Great.

[01:35:49]Yeah. I I've actually learned he he wanted me to take that and just sacrifice that pawn.

[01:35:57]Oh, cuz then he could have gone for this one. True.

[01:36:01]Cuz just cuz this one can't go up and block this. Yeah.

[01:36:06]Uh yeah, cuz he made that error, this made it so much easier for me.

[01:36:13]And the second his king was cut off.

[01:36:17]like like even concepts of cutting off the king and stuff.

[01:36:23]These are things I wouldn't think about, but now I've seen like random Tik Toks on I think about Gotham Chess just him just being like, "Ah, you know, Cardi got cut off the king from the pawns. Get your pawn to the king the your your king to the pawns." Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. That might be my highest um uh rating um game and endgame.

[01:36:53]I'm I'm proud.

[01:36:58]Thank you so much, P, uh for the uh gifted sub and Ramjet for the $5.

[01:37:04]Um Gotham Chess has done more for chess than anyone can pay them.

[01:37:10]He's done terrible things for my productivity.

[01:37:16]the amount of actual videos I could have made if not for these games of chess.

[01:37:25]But you're right, he's he's definitely done a lot.

[01:37:29]He's very well spoken and very energized and, you know, he's he's got an interesting personality. He keeps people engaged.

[01:37:38]He sacrifices the rook, you know.

[01:37:43]By the way, I really appreciate a video you made about the rambles.

[01:37:49]Well, thank you. But for what particular reason, orange?

[01:37:55]Delegate just lazy off. That's Yeah, I don't want to, though. I don't want to.

[01:38:00]I want to go back to work. And plus, I can't delegate what I need to do. All the stuff I need to do, only I can do.

[01:38:08]I got to stop playing chess. Once we get to 800, I'll stop. Okay.

[01:38:13]Have I tried Doug Doug's cursed version on chess? No, man. I'm I I barely can play normal chess.

[01:38:19]Um, thank you guys for the support. Thank you for the kindness. I wish you guys all the best. Thank you for keeping me company. I will release a video of some description. I'll probably um um uh career progress uh um 10 today.

[01:38:36]Anyway, wish you guys all the best.

[01:38:39]Bye-bye.

[01:38:42]Thanks for watching. And while I'm sure you're eager to get to the endless other videos on this channel, I'd like to take a moment of your time to wish you all the best.
