CHESS 3.0 IS HERE!!!!!!!!

Wife. Gotham. Good to see you again. Likewise. You ready to play some chess? Yes. We are playing on the ChessUp, the number one smart chess board out there, supported by Chess.com. You can play on Chess.com, you can play bots, you can play against other people like your husband or your wife. Please tell the audience your chess experience. I am a thousand rapid. Very good. 900 blitz. Fantastic. Round up. So if we played straight up, of course, it would be a very hard-fought game, but likely I would win, so. That's not true. If you look at our Chess.com records, I've never lost a game to you. Okay. If they always end in a draw. Yeah, but that's, you know, like, that is true. But I feel like I would clutch it out if we played straight up. So what we decided is to use the beautiful AI assist tool of the ChessUp board, where once we turn it on and customize it, when you play person versus person, you will get to see some best moves. Okay. And house 10, you get to look at 10 best moves. Okay, I don't think I'll need 10, but. You don't think so? Probably need three max, but I'll take 10. You need to cheat against me three times to win. That's it. For real? We'll see, we'll see, we'll see. I'm insulted. Well, you're also not going to beat me because you just. I love you too much. Yeah, you're nice. I see. Yeah, that could be problematic. I'm going to play with the white pieces. My wonderful 1900 rated wife is going to play with the black pieces. You will see the board light up, and we'll talk about it a little bit. There's other cool features of the board. I'll put a link on the screen in the description. You can use the code, and we are going to play. Ready? Sounds good. Shake hands. You have a good handshake. Thank you. Sometimes when I shake people's hands, I'm like, am I grabbing them too hard? It is very firm. You can grab me as hard as you want. Gotham plays into my opening. Scandinavian defense. Okay. So, pawn to d5 was one of the moves. The time control is 15 minute with 10 second bonus, but we can play a little bit faster. Sure. Okay, I guess I will take the pawn. And it's telling us these are book moves. Okay. You want to use one of your hands? No, no, I know what to do. I'm still in my opening here. Wow, look at that. What do the different colors mean? Green is the best move. So it's already giving me a hit. Well, you were gonna probably... Yeah, I was gonna take it anyway. You can summon that. See, we're still in the book. It's telling us we're in the book. Because we get live feedback on this board as well. And okay, let's see. I should play something you like don't know. Didn't... Okay. Didn't you already teach me the top line of the Scandinavian? Is that the top line? Technically, I think yes. But as someone who's a thousand, I will tell you, I've seen my opponents move any one of the movable pieces in response to this. Yeah. I've seen it all. Yeah, you had so many moves that the whole board was lighting up. Right. Okay, I'm gonna go here. We're still in book. Still in book. I hear sirens outside. Wow. Maybe they're calling them for what's about to happen to your queen. No, no, I made an escape squirrel. I'm telling you my secrets now, but you know. Yeah, like look. I don't get any hints. Mine are just blue. Legal moves. Okay, I play bishop c4. Excellent! It gave me a thumbs up. Told me I'm quite a smart guy. Okay. Very nice. What do I play? All right, I guess I'm gonna develop my... It's so funny to think that at any point you can use your hints. I'm gonna just have to hope you blunder. That you blunder before they become useful. I i2 castle. Wait, what? You have to do that again. Why? Because you broke it. Why? You have to put the king first. I put king first. And then you have to put the rook. Mistake! That was a mistake. You taught me this opening! No, no, no. The way you play it is wrong. Why? Because we're playing competitive game. Don't distract the opponent. It's okay. You can start cheating. You have 10 hints. I don't need it. I'm in my opening. In your opening. Why was that a mistake? You don't have to tell me. I actually don't know. Because you taught it to me! I mean, okay. I think before you castle, you should stabilize the center more. I think it's plenty stable. I don't have any hints. This is so annoying. My side, can I... So you don't know what to do against me? Is that what you're saying? I... I'm thinking. You can't distract. I'm gonna call the arbiter. Who's the arbiter? Let's develop the bishop to this square. This can't be bad. Oh my god! It was an inaccuracy! This is so annoying! Yeah, live move feedback is pretty fire. But there's no way you know why that's an inaccuracy. You want to use one of your hints? Just so we... No, no, no. I'm still in my opening. That's crazy. Yeah, you're gonna get arrogant. I'm gonna have to cook you before these hints. What if you hang your queen? Your hint's gonna become completely useless. That's not true. Then I'll use all 10 hints in a row. Well, that wasn't the best move. That was also an inaccuracy. I still don't know why, by the way. I was debating between pushing pawn to e6 or moving the knight out. Also an inaccuracy. Oh my gosh. I don't... I don't agree. I don't care. You see my idea? You're trying to push your other pawn to attack my queen. Unfortunately for you, I have an escape route. No, you don't. I don't? No. My bishop covers that square. Dude, you have to... Wait, wait, but it's fine here. Okay, so do whatever you want and don't use your hints. And this video will be over much faster than you think. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Use one of your hints here. I'm a little spooked. Use one of your hints. How do the hints work? You just touch the pieces until you see a green. So that counts as one hint? For me, I can... Yes. If you don't use it now, you're gonna lose the game. I'm pretty sure. That is not true. I'll delay it one more move. No, use it now. Okay, exactly what I was gonna do. It's not so simple. Well, the board told me it was excellent. On my first try. Great instinct. I'm trying to make sure we don't have to start filming from the beginning. And yeah, that move is fine. But I'm gonna go here. Okay. And what am I threatening? You are threatening to do stuff. See, if you don't see my threat... I do not see your threat. I'm trying to go knight here and trap your queen. It's gonna be trapped? Yes, it has no moves. So if you can get out of this by yourself... That's what I'm trying to... I'm trying to help out here. Like, I'm... Oh, I know what to do. You're still not gonna use the thing? I'm just using the thing to verify what I already know. I was gonna push pawn to e5. But I can take it twice. You're not scared? I push. You take. I take. You take. But at least your queen's not trapped. My queen's not trapped. And my rook pins you to your queen. All right. Play it! Well, your bishop definitely can't. I think that's probably the only move. I think maybe you can... Look at that! That was mine. Yeah, blue is okay. Yeah. Blue is fine. But green is best. Yeah, pawn to e5. Yeah. That's what I was thinking all along. You made me doubt myself. Now I'm two hints down. No, no, I'll just... We'll charge one. Okay. That's fair. So you should say the move you think is the best move first, and then verify it. Yeah. Maybe that's fair. Dude, you were like a move away from losing the queen. I was worried for you. Cap. Okay. I'm not worried. Cap. That's how we win arguments in the Gotham household. Also, like, however you take my pawn... If I take with my knight, I'm just attacking your queen. No, you're not. No, I'm not. No, I'm gonna take with the knight. Knight takes, bishop takes. Everything is protected. Okay, you're fine. I'm fine? You're fine, yeah. You live to see another day. Good. Not excellent, though, apparently. Crazy. Um, I think what I want to do... I want to move my queen to c7. I may be walking into a pin here. So touch the queen and see if it's a good move. But... No, it's not a good move, because you can fork my rooks. All right, hint number three. It's an okay move. It's not a good move. I think you should follow through with your plan. I should, um... Well, taking it, apparently, is also not great. This is horrible. Ah! What? Okay, so that counts as two. You have eight more. Are you also confused? So the idea is that if I play knight takes f7, you take my bishop for free. So you've stopped and you re-enable moving your queen there. That's crazy. This move looks really bad. Wait, but don't you... No, because you're gonna get a bishop and a knight. Oh, for one rook. Yeah, I would have never considered that move. Interesting. Wow. Okay, so the board has sacrificed the pawn, but negated my play in the process. Oh boy. I don't like this. All right, from now, I like this flow. You'd be like, this is my idea, so I'm gonna play this. Okay? Yeah. You can say, like, final answer, and then... Um... I'm stressed. It's very hard to play when you know that on the other side is potentially the best move always being considered. All right, I can play bishop back. What do I play, actually? This is, like, pretty stressful. I want to attack the queen again, but then the queen's gonna go back. You can trade knights, rook takes, and just, like, drop the bishop back. Draw? No. Okay, I don't think this is the best move. Eat good! Good! Let me make sure the camera looks good. You think about it. Um... I'm just gonna take it back with my rook, so that I'm also defending my bishop. Final answer. I'm not using a hint. Okay. Oh! Outstanding. Wow. All right, I resign. Eight more hints. Draw? Always. Um... I can take... If we take... And then I play defense, and then I'm gonna go... I had a feeling it was an inaccuracy, but... You don't scare me. You have to say final answer before your moves. Why? Because otherwise you're gonna know... We don't want to get, like, charged with a hint. What are you thinking? Yeah, I'm thinking to launch a kingside attack. Because we are castled in opposite directions. And... I'd like all my pieces to point that way. Sounds good. Sorry, I'm being the annoying... Knight, g4, final answer. All right. Final answer. That's crazy. All right, you only get, like, one more hint. That's... I told you I needed three! I mean, if you only use three and you win, that would actually be really impressive. What was I supposed to do?! Inaccuracy! How was that wrong? I think I'm gonna take your bishop. That was my plan all along. Okay, you take. Or... Or I can go knight, h2. You cannot take, because my bishop protects. And I attack your rook. And then I'm kind of trapped there, because I can't get out. Right? I'll just move your rook. And it'll be okay. But if I take your bishop, you take back with your pawn. Then I have to move my bishop. Because now your rook sees my bishop. Um... I have taught you well. Oh, yeah? Yeah, sorry, I don't pat most of my opponents on the head. I don't want to kiss them. Um... I have to be mindful of time, too. You don't. You're so pretty. Thank you. You're so smart and so wonderful. You have such a great sense of humor. Oh, yeah? Yeah. That's very funny. That was very good, that was good. You have nine minutes. I don't usually play with increments. Okay. This will benefit you. The editor will put something funny while it's quiet. Like a... Like a meme. Or he'll photoshop like a cat on top of one of our heads. Just trust yourself, make a move. You're doing what you do in your rapid games. I know. All right, say a move and say funny. Chess is not for indecisive people. Why are you looking at me? There's no chess on my face. All right. Make a move, big boss. Wow. Best move, huh? Okay, easy for me to recapture. Just... Approve of that. That's crazy. Both of those were greens, by the way. I know. And I thought about all of them. Wow. You never said final answer, though, so I'm gonna be... Because it was a pre-move. Yeah. Yeah, I had a feeling that was the best move. I want to trade bishops with you, because I feel like my bishop didn't have any targets. And you have bishop pair, so I'm trading. You think you're gonna win? Probably could trade and it'll be fine, but... I want you to take me so that I open up my rook. Those are called rooks? I thought they were rocks. It depends on where you're from. All right, well... I'm gonna go my rook to e7 and attack your unprotected pawn. Okay. Good, but not the best. I realize I'm playing with both hands, which is definitely not allowed, but the Arbiter hasn't said anything. It's allowed as long as you press the clock with the same hand. Oh, really? But we have no clock. The clock moves automatically. It auto moves for you. Yeah, I like to pick it up and move it, because sometimes when you drag it gets stuck. So does that mean there's no takebacks on this board? Help. Product question. Probably not. You know when you play chess off on bots, you can take back moves. Against the bots, maybe you can. Yeah, against me, no. No, you make a mistake. It's not sorry, I cannot kill. Okay, I think I can just defend my pawn. I'm gonna do that. Good. I'm playing with no computer assistance. You still have eight of them, by the way. But now I can take your bishop, because you double up your pawn. And you're kind of stuck. Sure, you can do that. I think that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take your bishop. Final answer? You should be very afraid. Yeah, final answer. See if it's the best move, or not. Don't need it. I was gonna tell you anyway. Yeah. So, professionally speaking, do I pick up the captured piece first, or my own piece first? In speed chess, you can pick up yours and chop the other one, but in classical chess, yeah. Should I try? Most people, I don't, let's not break the... I would suggest picking up the bishop first. Yes. Okay, blue. It's a blue move. Inaccuracy. It's okay, I'm not afraid. So you change your plan, because your plan originally was, if I take the bishop, then... I open up my rook. In this case, this trade, this is in How to Win at Chess Next Level, which we have a copy of on the floor that I'm editing. People at home don't know that. This is something called superseding concepts. Double pawns are bad, but in this case, you're just helping me bolster my center. And I have the open C file to attack your rook now. Ah, your king. Like, I can put a rook here. You didn't make a bad move, but it wasn't... So how about that take back? Draw. All right. At some point, you have to probably effectively use your hints. Yeah. But for now, I mean, you're doing fine. I'm doing great. But you do have seven minutes. I'm not scared. I want to push this pawn, my h-pawn, to h5. Are you using a hint? Yes. I will now be booping the pawn. Yeah, that's one of the best moves. All right, next pawn. But I knew that was horrible. This one also seems horrible. My other thought was to double up my rook. I think that's probably the best move. And then... Yeah. But why rook to d-whatever? Eight? Yeah. Stability? Like, making sure I can't move? No, I want my rooks to defend. Are we fine? Yeah. Yay. But then... I wonder if you used all of the remaining hints in a row, like, would you just immediately get a winning position? Or if I can somehow... It's really hard for me, because basically, if you cheat for seven more moves, can I survive? And I think the answer is yes. Yeah, because then I'm gonna run out of hints. I'm gonna be in a position that I didn't think through by myself and not know what to do. Unless you're, like, completely winning. Like, unless you have extra material. Okay, I think... Dana, you sold out. I can beat you. Oh. Wait. There, there, there, there. Oh. Ruh-roh. Uh... How many moves ahead did you just see, like, 45? On average, I can see about 17 to 25 moves ahead, yeah. Is that a joke? Or actually? I'm quoting a very famous clip we know. That we... No, um... I, uh... About six or seven moves. Oh my... Benji wants to come say hi. Come here, sweet arbiter! Come! Benji, you're the referee. Come. Come, look at this position. He's so confused. So confused. You know, we just look like we're crazy people. Okay, I'm gonna... All right, I'm gonna go here. Thank you. Excellent! Nice! All right, you got seven minutes. Oh, we gotta lock in, or else we're gonna lose on time. You have seven more hints, right? Yes. Oh yeah, you just added extra protection to your pawn. Makes sense, very reasonable. Um... Now I don't know what to do. All right, queen back. When you touched the queen, it told you that that was the best move. Yeah, but this was my final answer. I see. And out of principle, I won't pretend like I thought about queen to d8. I see. That is fair. Battery. Uh... What? Are you thinking about being mean? Yeah. Should I be nice? Up to you. It's your video. I'll be nice. Good, actually? Yeah. All right, I'll use a hint so I can catch up on time. Okay. Okay, now I have to take it back to that square. I wonder if there's an alternative. I wonder if you have any other moves. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Okay. You have to choose between those two. Um... I will go queen d7 just because, you know, I didn't choose d8 the first time, so I feel like I'm pretty committed to not moving my queen to d8. See, this is the thing with cheating. Once you cheat for three moves, you just kind of have to keep it up because I don't understand why my pieces are on these squares. I think right now what's happening is the position is really, really stable. Like, it's really hard for black to attack my weaknesses. And unless I do something really crazy, it's also difficult. Which I kind of played like an anti-computer strategy, you know? Okay, I'm gonna go knight... I can take your bishop, or I can move knight c5, or I can trade queens. Which one should I do? Let me check. They all blew. Okay, let's go knight c5. What does that do? Oh, you're attacking my queen. Yeah. Oh my goodness, I almost didn't see. Benji just growled. He also didn't see. I wonder if the camera could hear that. I feel like not. I don't want to undouble your pawn. All right, queen to c7 to get out of your thing. Wait, did I just like move it back to the square it came from? It's life sometimes. You don't have to not do it. It's still suggesting d8. Yeah. I give check best. All right, I'll shuffle in. Okay. I'll shuffle in. I like how both of them are green. All right, now we're gonna go a little crazy. Ready? I'm ready. But it was a fork, you didn't have... Is this a good move? Okay, best. All right, we're chilling. Okay, okay, check this out. I'm checking. I'm gonna move this pawn somewhere. Forward? Presumably. Hopefully not diagonally. I see. That's a creative idea, actually. I unironically did not see that move. But I only saw some other moves you can play. And when I make my move, you can't take it with your rook because I'm attacking your queen. Oh, I didn't see. You have five minutes. Then final answer. Huge. Pawn f5. Okay, do we play? That's crazy. I'm so good. You are? I'm so good at this game. Yeah, but you hate it. Okay, obviously I don't want to lose my queen. Because she's right there. All right, that was a great video. See you all next time. And... You resign? I can hit the button for you. Please, please, please, please. No, no, I don't. I will resign. Do anything. Okay. Thinking. You're distracting me. Because you're so funny. Thank you. Ah, he plays a move. All right. Five minutes and what, six hints left? I lost count. We say six. Or do we say... No. I think I'm gonna go rook f7. Okay. Rook f7. So your queen has to get out of the way I do. Okay, just blue. No problem. Okay, I have only... Oh no, I guess I have two moves. I can go here or here or here. Because if I go here... You forked me. You saw? Absolutely. That's what I'm talking about. I go best. Good job. Thank you. Good job, Gotham Chess. Thank you, Gotham Wife. That's what it says on her passport, actually. I have to lock in. Yeah. Four minutes. Look at the chess player posture. Same. I think our table is just too wide. Contemplating between attacking your queen or just kicking your knight out. Oh, definitely do not kick my knight out. Okay, I will use a hint. I'm gonna check between these two. Okay, that was bad. I was gonna fork your queen. Ah, okay. I'm glad I checked. That's also bad. That's what? Okay. But don't I just lose a pawn? All right, saying it's green, dude. You try it. I don't know. How about this? I promise if you push the pawn, I'll take it. But... King a8. Just sack the pawn. I'll entertain the board. I don't know why I think that's such a good move. All right. Excellent. Let's see if it gives me excellent. Good. Just good. I think it's... Well, you can use it. All right, now I have to use another hint because I don't know why I just did that. What about the other piece? Oh, it wanted to take the g-file. See, it wanted to... Even king to the corner is an excellent move. That's just passing back the move, though. All right, this move I've seen for like the last 10 moves. All right, then I guess we do this? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Nice. I am a little spooked, actually. Like, I don't know how to... You don't know how to defend it? I don't... I'm not, like, thrilled about it. Okay, I guess you have four left. I should try not to blunder anything crazy. Wait. How much material are you up? Three points. How? It's on the board. I know, I just saw it says plus three. Yeah, but you don't have to see that. You can see it here. I have three extra points. Because you just gave one away. I thought that was the first one. Dude, I understand it's... No, I think I won a pawn. When did you take three pawns? Is it not... Am I, like, cheating in the game, too? Just, like, just pawns are vanishing? No, I just... I didn't notice. Oh my goodness. Hi, doggy. I will say it's much more fun playing 900 kilo players. Than me? Yeah. Because you actually have, like, confidence in the moves? Mm-hmm. I understand. Well, for me, it's fun to play my... And you know... And you know it's my best... And I only have one, so... Yeah. Thank you. You know what's my best strategy? What? Play a move and hope they don't see it. I see. It doesn't work with you. I see. Okay, I'm gonna go pawn to e4. Uh-oh. Oh, I also just realized the eval bar is on the thing. Yeah, it's... Oh, yeah. It says I'm... I mean, we can... Oh, you are... No, like, I'm winning, but... We... I'm up three pawns. Dude, I just... It's just a mistake. I just made a mistake. You have three minutes to figure out why. All right, well, we'll keep cheating, okay? Okay. How many hints do I have? Left? Yeah. Four. Okay, all rook moves bad. This one good. But then I just lose another pawn. Okay, but what is... But what is the idea? You have to think why is it... I know the idea is here, and then... Is that me? I don't know. Maybe. You have two and a half minutes. You're gonna have to... All right, all right, all right, all right. I'll do this. All right, so you got three left. Yeah. You got three left. Yeah. Uh-oh. You should take my pawn. No, if I take your pawn, I literally lose. That's not cool. Okay, but I think, like, for content... I will take the pawn, not with my... Wait. No, no, no. Because I'm gonna take with my rook. And I can run away. But now I think you probably have... You have a little something, but I don't know what. Well, the best move is rook takes pawn. So what? Obviously. So what? Final answer. I don't need a hint. You don't need a hint. There we go. King h1 mate. Here. Because ladder mate. So I go here. Thank you, best move. Oh my god, I'm so sm... Yo, look at that eval bar. What? Nah, ain't no way. Stop it. I know what to do. All right. Rook d1. Final answer? No hint? You got three left. What? Uh-oh. I feel like if there was ever a moment to use it... Okay, what's the idea? Oh, now it's back to equal. I was just gonna trade off the rooks. All right, trust yourself. No! No, actually no. Okay, you're still better. It's minus 0.9. You're still doing okay. You're not losing. Another hint? Okay. Maybe. I'm just penning Benji under the table. Okay, that was bad. Oh. That one could have been played, but... Might as well check all the others. Still making sure this pawn still can't move. Why are you touching this pawn? Might as well. Yes, yes, yes. This is my only move. Yeah, but like it's... Why this feature is cool is because it helps you like at least try to understand why some moves are good, right? Right, right. Yeah, you have to follow it up. Okay, I think my only move is king here. I don't think... Blocking. I don't think I should get involved. Actually, maybe blocking is... You have two hints left. I have a feeling this move is not good. It's the best move. Never mind. Okay. Can't I go bishop to g3? You have background problems. So on this move, you probably should really be careful. I think I can do some damage. How many hints do I have? Left? Yeah. Two. All right, we'll check. Jesus. Ooh. Cake. Well, taking my rook... This was not good. Yeah. Why? I just said background. Oh, oh, oh. Didn't see that. All right. Wow, only bishop takes nine. I checked this pawn again. Only bishop takes nine. You got 50 seconds. Why is that? Oh, it's probably because it wants you to open up the queen. Wait. Wait, this is like actually... Wait, this is super dangerous for me. Yep, yep, totally. You have one hint left. Wait a minute. I am spooked. Oh my goodness, wait a minute. You gotta... Yeah, but you're winning. Like, if I'm not careful... I have a minute. You get 10 seconds every move. 15, 10. Yeah, this is the problem of knowing in just how much danger you are. But I cannot tell you... Okay, I play... I play... I'm gonna be nice. But you have to figure it out. I have my last hint. Blunder. All right, I'm gonna use my last hint and figure it out from there. I think it's rook takes rook. Just for the memes, I'm gonna check this pawn again. Okay. Play the move, I'll let you keep your hint. Really? Yeah. You're that nice? You broke the code again. Like, you should have said final answer. That would have actually... No, but I thought... Go. Okay, okay. Now you have a minute to beat me from this position. With no... I think it's rook down one. Okay. With no hints? Ah, you don't need hints. Trust yourself. Oh, what? Okay. Uh-huh. Are you gonna... Are you gonna checkmate me, dude? Hopefully. Wow. Okay. Now I'm spooked. You have 40 seconds. This is where champs are made right here. You just keep running away. What do I do? Okay, keep giving checks. Keep giving checks. Oh, that was bad. Are you letting me win? I had only one legal move. Nobody was letting you do anything. Oh, man. You getting spooked? Yes. 20 seconds. You can make a draw. I'm gonna keep checking you. Make a draw? No. Okay. Oh, no! No! I'm paralyzed for choice! I go back. Draw? That's crazy! It automatically did it! Wow, that's crazy. All that battling. Come! Come look at the game! Benji, up! Up, up, up! Up, up! Wow!
