The content this channel produces is interesting, consistent, accurate and more.
I feel like no other chess youtube channel can surpass this one.
We can clearly see that levy is doing what he truly love.

One of the cooler parts of the chess scene in the film is the bishops are symbols for watson and watson’s wife, who in sherlock’s mind, absolutely must not die. And by sacrificing almost every other piece on the board, are preserved

"not gonna lose all their pieces like you and me. ... Actually just you"

You're not wrong, and how dare you

"They are not going to lose their pieces like you and me"
"Actually only you"

This scene actually has a hidden meaning. The queen was supposed to be Irene Adler, who Moriarty thought was his biggest threat, the two bishops were John Watson and Mary Watson, who Moriarty underestimated, and the rook is Lestrade, another one that Moriarty underestimated.
At the end of the day, it's the ones he had underestimated that caused his defeat

"all things 64 squares" but no checkers gameplay. clickbait

"Actually just you"
Never have I ever been offended by something so true-

[dr.weaselwalter]

Sherlock: "Oh no. My Queen!"

[pedrochalaco]

"Actually just you"
truer words have never been spoken

4:15 Levy trying to be relatable but then realizing he's a IM

I love how Levi explains most of the very basics in this video because he knows it will attract a group of people who are not yet into chess and he gives them the oppotunity to find the beauty and join the party

Normal people : Calculate .
Sherlock : already finishes the game in his mind.

Sherlock Holmes was such an amazing cinematic performance. Everyone with access to technology needs to see it.

I don't think I've seen any better action + brains in any movie other than Sherlock Holmes : Game of shadows.

[adeeshhkhandekar]

And I guess the most poetic/symbolic piece of fiction from this game was the fact that Sherlock and Moriarty were SO close and trying to one up each other that....moriarty was ACTUALLY just ONE move away from checkmate (not that Sherlock would get back rank mated but still) I think that's beautiful...and shows how calculated and insanely strong they are (obviously in movie)

There is a chess game in the TV show "The Mentalist" (aired from 2008 - 2015) where the investigation consultant Patrick Jane plays a game with the villan by telling out the moves. If you can analyse that also it would be great!!

wait, I LITERALY looked up sherlock holmes games of shadows chess board visualizations last night and this is uploaded today...
please don't look into my browsing history like that again

[Egg.Sander]

I love how in the variation of that particular game they played, the "villain" side of the board had almost a wild, sweeping outburst with the queen for a couple of moves while the "protagonist" side of the board was much smaller, yet more meticulous in its movements.

[pellegrit]

"They are not going to lose all their pieces like you and me"
*thinks*
"actually only you"




"that was mean"

[BradPeirson]

"the queen is not threatening anybody by herself"

Can confirm - won 4 games in the last 24 hours where opponent tried to cheese a scholar's mate.
