“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.

living legend
Gotham i love you bro
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My man 💪
Thank you for having us.
hearing him say the best players in the world only look 2 or 3 moves in (8:13) was such a relief to hear. i was a chess nerd when I was like 8-12yo … but now in my 40s, I have been poking around again. I always thought I was dumb because I REALLY have to focus to even begin to get to 3 and even 4 moves in. Because, then the trick is, you have to do that again, and then compare those 2 positions mentally … scout for dangerous things the same way like forks or pins … and I always imagined people like Carlsen were going like 10 moves in. so rather than going in deeper, they are probably just a lot faster at it, with better memory for the outcomes. nice. just really good to hear, I thought my senility was already setting in lol
Every person that plays chess should know, atleast 50-60% of every game you play online has some form of cheating by your opponent. Your rank or ELO means absolutely nothing online.
but that queen sacrifice was easy to spot
Well, 9:16 Levy said that GMs analyze 2-3 forward moves. This knight and queen sacrifice is actually a 3-move tactics and could be done by a titled player according to this logic
Chess is already a dorky interest. Cheating in it is just pathetic.
poor example for sure a human can find the queen sacrifice
That first one is so easy to spot.
An online content creator and a pro chess player are two things.
You can call me a bot if you want but if I can take 2 power pieces if I let you take my queen you can get that queen fam, I’ll turn a pawn to a queen later n out you in checkmate.
If they have an Indian flag just abort the game. Youll jump 200 rating points they all cheating.
the first move was very findable and I think anyone over 1500 would see that..
6:51 knight e5
I am mentally dysfunctional and I still can’t figure out why Black responds as such to NG5+. Why not …FxG5? Or …KE8? I realize capturing the knight with the pawn sets up a discovered attack by white with the rook, but this seems more like a situation of Black blundering themself into mate as opposed to an inevitable mate only a chess computer could foresee.
Start song?
It’s so lame to cheat in chess. Computer plays better than your opponent… Wow. Nice. It won…
The ELO system is really the only reason why people cheat.
Some people dont want to learn and hate being seen as bad, so they artificially pumps up their image to retain their self-esteem.
“Humans wouldn’t see a queen sacrifice like this”
The move is literally a mate in 2
only if black plays like a beginner and captures. otherwise it gets much more complicated and just leads to material advantage some moves later but that was too much for them to get into. but that’s why it’s an engine line, not because it’s checkmate
@zetacrucis681 No, because the immediate advantage of that move can be immediately seen by any single player who can see literally just 1 move into the future
The point was that “OMG bots can see advantageous moves *so far* ahead that no one will ever notice!” But the advantageous position is an incredibly simple queen bait… One that only relies on black to make a single move
Not a single person who would see that move would IRL would ever assume it’s a bot move…
@johnathandoe6034 except Qd4+ response by black makes it a queen trade, not mate in 2
@zetacrucis681 Well then that’s just a bad move by Black
Not a god tier move by white
Seems like too much of an effort to cheat at chess LOL
Cough morse code
I could see that sacrificing the queen
