“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.

Funny how this guy gave an example of a queen offer that makes mate in 2 i did see this option in under 2 sec before he played the first move and i have a 1500 ELO
dont play online chess, is waste of time; play a good program and good players in person
I thought I'm the only one always sacrificing the queen
LoL
Afa

K h
My winrate is exactly 69% XD
man i don't even use cheating methods and i gained 900 elo under 1 week
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 beg to disagree about your analysis on sacrifice.. some players intended this because they plan ahead….
I played against my friend(on phone) and i absolutely destroyed him and he just kept saying hes better on computer bc you can use the little arrows and its a bigger screen so then we played a game on pc and he won every game and i thought he was actually better on pc but like a couple days after i saw that he had cheated against me(hes account did get banned) so dont cheat in chess and dont cheat against your friends and not tell them at all bc its annoying and i lose my ranking every time i lose

Most chess sites are packed full of cheats. It's not worth playing online anymore.
imagine using stockfish so much that you adapt to their playstyle and become the "Stockfish"
The ROOK!!!
it is a bit of a strech to call levy a chess pro
Who cheats in a board game😂😂

8:30
I paused the video to see what I would have played.
I took a minute (more than I would in a normal game), and came to the same conclusion as the bot, the king f7 protects the square e6, and the white rook on f1 pushes the king to the square g8 with the help of the bishop c5,
So the knight g5 is necessary to get rid of the pawn f4.
I then considered playing the bishop on d5, but the queen would be under attack anyway, so the only correct move is to sacrifice the queen, since the bishop on e4 is not under attack.
I've been playing chess for many years (professionally in the past), and found the move without watching the video.
However, I would probably never have taken the time to think about it in a normal game where I was under time pressure.
Let alone a beginner would have found these moves.
I just wanted to make it clear that experienced chess players can find these moves, but never under time pressure.
thank you GothamChess for teaching me how to cheat the correct way
9:20 what if they actually dont cheat
Or it's magnus carlsen's alt account
That is a very nice video.
But what if they were a gm and they got 2000 rating
9:07 Actually that isn't checkmate cause black can use his bishop to protect himself. It would be a checkmate if white then took the black bishop.
Qd5 is kinda obvious no?
THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOK
Levy is barely an IM. He's shite in the grand scheme of things. Get Hikaru Nakamura or Magnus Carlsen on. Maybe a former world champion. Not this clown
There's only one reason I'd ever cheat at chess : If I created my own AI and wanted to test it against friends or something . Same with cheating in video games, come to think of it. creating the programs used to cheat is so much fun. trying to avoid detection is so much fun. actually winning because you cheated is… well honestly no fun at all. I would never cheat in a real match, against a real opponent. I have only ever used any cheat program against my friends. it just takes the fun out of things if you use it to compete. funny thing that.
wait why the first one is cheating?? I'm 2150 and I can see these kinda moves when I think a little bit or sometimes somehow just you see immediately, its no sense
I think everyone has at least tried to cheat in chess just once 😅
It got way too big, i see
I kinda disagree, my dad taught me to give up the queen in the 90s when he was teaching me, if the risk outweighs the loss…

i am 900 elo player and my best game is 94.6% accuracy i still don't know how!, second best have 2 brilliant moves
what if i watch a cheater gameplay to understand how bots play so i can move like them and win?
It's funny how after QD5 is played, it is so easy to see the purpose, but just one move prior, it makes no sense at all.
I'm a bit confused about the "computer move" example saying how no human would ever play it, that was just a 2-3 move tactical combination no? I've played more ridiculous looking tactics OTB which turn out to be the best moves before.
I cheated at chess because I wanted to be in a Gotham video and get laughed at.
What if people use computer assistance only for a few critical moves? Then it won't be easy to spot a cheater I guess.
Just also use stockfish 👍
Already 20 seconds into this video I call BS. The idea that a human would not play 1. Qd5 in that position because we're "risk averse" doesn't stand up to the trivial observation (as demonstrated right in the video) that 1. …exd5 2. Bxd5++ is immediate checkmate. Come on, humans can see one move ahead
8:34 That doesn't seem like a bot move. That seems like a human move….
Idk man. But i usually sacrifice my queen for a better set up 🙄
Can't see any proves for cheating. The Ng6 is obvious, this was the first idea I was looking for; not only to check or attack pawn at e6, but to open the F line for the rook in case back takes. When black retreats to the corner and he is limited by C5 bishop now it comes time to think how to kick by this white diagonal and Qd5 comes automatically, saving the queen, double attacking the C6 knight and looking for Nxe6 attack as a backup. So, I don't see anything really strange, although it requires some practice and patterns recognition for positions.
That knight/queen sequence really wasn't as crazy as Levy says here (I suppose it was just for the video). Any GM would find it (depends on the time situation of course) because black's king is very vulnerable and good players look for checks and tactics in those positions.
