Shadowing-Übung: IMPOSSIBLE Challenge: Lose To Zach - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a difficult video for me to record.

Today I am going to do a challenge that is truly impossible.

I'm a chess player.

Probably so are you.

Most of the time when we play chess, we try to win.

That is not what I am trying to do in today's video.

I am trying to lose.

I am trying to lose to the new dumbest chess bot on the planet, Zach.

Zach cannot win a game of chess.

He is programmed literally not to do that.

I just spent two hours trying to lose.

I failed.

I'm just recording this video.

I failed.

Okay, I'm going to show you how I failed.

And then I'm going to show you the only way that you can succeed and send you all off.

after this video, you can do the impossible Zach challenge and try to do better than me.

That's all I have for you.

That's it.

I have been driven absolutely mad by this bot.

I'm going to put a link in the description.

You go try to beat it on your own.

Folks, the only way to beat this bot is to have him checkmate you by force.

You have to force him to checkmate you.

Now, game number one, this was the strategy that I took.

I played stupid, Alright, bishop 2h6, the way I need to get to him is I need to take his pieces, okay?

That is what we're gonna do.

We're gonna take his pieces, and then we're gonna, obviously, hunt the king down, okay?

So I went queen to d2, I just took a pawn, I played queen a7, that was actually a mouse slip, I was trying to take the rook, but he didn't even take me.

Then I took this pawn, and then I took another pawn, and then I took this, and then I took this.

I am just taking everything.

This bot does not know how to play chess.

He is programmed on a chess website, and he should be playing literally anything else.

They should program him to play battleship.

This man does not know how to play chess, okay?

Bishop to b4 check, c397.

Now, he took my queen.

I actually couldn't believe it.

He actually took my queen.

So as I'm trying to figure out and strategize how you're supposed to beat this absolute freaking goblin, I took this bishop, and then I started pushing my pawns.

And in this first game, this is what I did.

I simply walk to the other side of the board.

Now, it's actually a fascinating mental exercise.

You need him to keep at least a major piece on the board, and probably a queen.

I don't know how you're going to be able to do this with him not having a queen.

You need to force him to make a move, so it's probably going to have to be a check, that takes your attacking piece, and then it's checkmate.

So we need to get our pieces closer together.

That's the only way, right?

That is really the only way.

So I start bringing my king forward.

This guy plays rook to g3 check.

I run my king forward.

This guy plays f5.

Now I'm forced to take, folks.

You know what I learned about this bot?

He is programmed not to win.

He's programmed not to win.

You know what he did in a little while?

Look at this.

It's mate and two.

Queen takes, queen d2.

It's mate.

He doesn't do that.

So I start taking some pieces.

I'm going to promote again.

It's queen d2 mate.

I have given him mate and one.

He's not doing it.

He plays rook a4 which hangs a rook to three different pieces.

Now I made a little progress here I was looking for a ladder mate.

I was looking for a ladder mate, and then I couldn't believe this move This is where I learned he has an insane thing up his sleeve.

Remember, I need to keep one piece on the board I need to get my king somewhere in this area

And then I need to make a move where he takes my queen and it's mate.

He went here!

If Zack can force you to take his queen, he will So now I'm learning.

This is like playing against a final boss in a video game.

I am learning that this scumbag, if he gets you to a spot, he can lose his queen by force.

It's over, and he's gonna lose all his pieces.

So now I'm relying on one of these pawns.

I'm thinking, okay, well, one of these pawns is gonna have to promote, right?

Like, I'm gonna have to...

Right here, I was like, oh, I have a genius idea.

I'm going to take his pieces, and he's gonna have to take me and make a queen.

No, he's not.

He doesn't even have to make a queen and if he makes a bishop, it's going to be impossible to get checkmated.

So ultimately, I did my best.

He actually promoted to a queen, which I thought, oh, this is fantastic.

I'm going to make some progress here.

What did I say?

If he can make you lose to take his queen, he will.

And by the end of this, he just gave me a million checks.

He kept trying to lose his own queen.

Now, this position, I'm never going to win.

I'm just never going to win.

This is an unwinnable position for me. And I resigned.

because, yes, in case you're confused, White has been winning the entire game.

White was winning before the game started, okay?

100

But by the end of it, there is no way for me to get checkmated by him from this position.

101

It's not possible.

102

I need to block off all of my king escape squares.

103

Somehow I need to get my king to the edge of the board, which could be possible.

104

And then I need to, like, check him and walk me.

105

I don't know.

106

And I was just like, all right, let's try again.

107

So you know what I tried in the next game?

108

I tried a really sick strategy.

109

And this led to the stupidest chess game you've ever seen.

110

This game is so stupid.

111

Oh my god, I cannot believe what I'm showing you.

112

None of this matters.

113

What I did in this game...

114

Bro, he went queen e4 and then he took my knight.

115

Like...

116

This is anti-chess.

117

This is really anti-chess.

118

In this game, this is what I did.

119

I ran my king.

120

I tried to run my king to the other side of the board.

121

My king made it to C freaking 7.

122

And what I wanted to do is go with my queen, try to attack the king, and have him take me so I don't have a getaway.

123

The problem is I have too many getaway squares.

124

This is actually the issue, is that if I were to bring pieces and seal off my own king's escape squares, there is no guarantee that he has to take me.

125

And here's the worst part about Zach.

126

I think Zach knows you're trying to win.

127

Every time I would get close, he would do some utterly ridiculous stuff.

128

Look at this.

129

I went in with my queen.

130

He's just making completely random moves.

131

Folks, when I tell you this is what chess looks like when you dream about it, what is this?

132

This is modern art.

133

What on earth is going on?

134

And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried my best.

135

And look how close I got.

136

I even thought of a concept.

137

in this position, I was like, hey, what if I somehow put my queen like there,

138

and he took me, and I, you know, I put my rook there, like, you know, just, okay, something completely and utterly stupid.

139

Look, like, like, like I block myself, and then I go like this, and this is how I lose.

140

Queen g8 takes.

141

You see, this is how you have to win, but he never gives you the chance.

142

every time I thought I was making some progress.

143

I wasn't taking his queen.

144

He was trying to take me.

145

I wasn't taking him.

146

What is this position?

147

By playing him, you will literally create positions that have never happened before.

148

Folks, I didn't win.

149

It didn't work.

150

I promoted like 47 different queens.

151

I tried my best.

152

And ultimately, he actually started to take my pieces.

153

I had two queens.

154

I tried, I tried, I tried, I kept trying.

155

He doesn't take any of your pieces until he does.

156

And this is over.

157

I'm probably not going to win this game.

158

And then he, again, by force, tried to take all.

159

And ultimately, this one ended.

160

And so, folks, I played him so many times.

161

I played this absolute moron so many times.

162

And I failed.

163

Okay?

164

And this video is a failure.

165

But this was not a failure.

166

This is a person who defeated Zach.

167

And this was the first ever game that Zach won.

168

And this game is an even faster game, because not only are we trying to lose to Zach,

169

we are trying to lose to him in the fastest way possible.

170

I'm going to show you two games of people that managed to lose to the impossible Chessbot Challenge.

171

Now, Sean gets the Grandmaster title for this.

172

it was a French defense, took some space, and then played king e2.

173

And you can tell early on what is happening.

174

The king is being brought forward.

175

That's what we are trying to accomplish.

176

Meanwhile, Zach is just doing his usual stuff, drooling all over himself.

177

Knight c3, knight b4, bishop d3, bishop d2.

178

White is trying to lose the game by force because black is not going to win the game.

179

knight f6, he takes on d5, the knight goes back, I don't even understand that move, and you can kind of see already, you're trying to take away the king's squares,

180

knight to g4, and some sort of checkbait is being set up, meanwhile, look at this, you're just shuffling pieces around, now what I don't get is, zack kept taking my pieces,

181

without the queen, I don't think it's even possible, you know, rook a8, fine, now f5, we're just pushing forward, none of the moves are making sense,

182

We are walking the king to his doom.

183

All right, pawn takes e6.

184

We are clearing the path for the king, passanting.

185

Bishop back to f3, king to e7.

186

We don't take the king.

187

The king is just in the middle of the board.

188

Queen f5 is nearly made, but it's not.

189

We go knight e1.

190

We are just walling in the, look at this, knight e3.

191

This is actually completely genius.

192

This is truly something to behold.

193

Complete isolation for the white king, walled in amongst the pieces.

194

Pawn takes d5, but Zach's never going to play pawn takes d5.

195

How do you get somebody to win when they don't want to win?

196

How do you get a dog to do something, right?

197

You got to dangle some food in front of their face.

198

Zach's not that simple.

199

Zach's not that simple.

200

Knight takes e6.

201

Now, at some point, Sean is like, I think I'm going to have to start taking some pieces, but nope, he's just making moves.

202

Just making moves.

203

Knight e5, he takes.

204

Knight back.

205

Maybe he's going to walk the king even...

206

Look at this.

207

Maybe he's going to walk the king even closer.

208

At some point, Zach needs to run out of material that he can use.

209

Rook to a1, Rook to d1, Knight c1, he's not taking anything.

210

This is basically mate now, and yet it's all covered.

211

King c8, g4, Knight e6, what are we looking at?

212

We are creating artistic masterpieces on the board.

213

Honestly, chess is so fascinating because, yes, we play to win, but sometimes we have a challenge in front of us on the chessboard that's like a side quest

214

that is so unbelievably difficult.

215

This is like solving a 40-sided Rubik's Cube.

216

I don't know what the biggest Rubik's Cube per side ever solved is, and I don't want to know, okay?

217

It's just going to make me feel bad about myself.

218

Most bots would go knight c5 in this position, Zac does not.

219

Zac goes pawn to b5, Sean plays pawn to h4, still creating this massive armada in front of his king.

220

It's made on literally every move.

221

Every single move is mate, knight c5 is mate, Sean's going forward, g5, he's going to lose a couple of the pieces.

222

But you can only forcefully get checkmated by this bot if you actually attack it first.

223

You have to force mate.

224

It's not going to mate you.

225

He promotes to a queen.

226

The queen doesn't get taken.

227

Queen f8.

228

Okay.

229

Queen takes.

230

You lost the queen.

231

Queen h2.

232

Knight to b3.

233

Knight c5 is mate again.

234

This is mate, and this is mate.

235

Neither of the mates are played.

236

Queen h6, bishop a6, knight f5, and you are just making moves.

237

Zach, okay, you've lost your queen, and he takes.

238

He takes your queen.

239

Okay, this is very interesting.

240

Knight c6.

241

Now, at some point, are you going to get your queen back?

242

Knight to b4, he's taking the remainder of your pieces.

243

It's kind of looking hopeless.

244

I got to tell you, it's looking hopeless.

245

I don't know how you are going to checkmate the opponent, but make a mistake, and then get your piece taken, and then mate you it's not going to happen anymore right

246

it's time to give up rook c4 all right it's time

247

to give up at some point one of your rooks is

248

going to get taken knight c6 okay knight back to d4

249

pawn to b3 we're just shuffling knight takes pawn rook takes we by the way we could have taken here

250

but instead of

251

that we go rook here all right bishop two f5 rook

252

b3 check rook c3 check we're just moving around we can't

253

make any progress king on the outskirts of the board

254

that was a good sign when the king is so far on the outside, you have a lot less mobility,

255

and then you are much more guaranteed some sort of a check that would then forcefully be blocked, and then, you know, maybe you can trick him into checkmating you.

256

So you get here, white is still completely winning, knight c6 is a double check and a mate at the same time, b6 is the move though, and you go here, and I'm like,

257

there is no way Sean is going to pull this off, but he does, because in this position, Sean plays rook b4, rook c7 check, obviously.

258

And then he plays king c3, knight c5.

259

And the way that he does this is completely genius.

260

So again, normally I am highlighting brilliancy on the chessboard.

261

This is the most sophisticated, stupid thing I've ever seen.

262

How can you guarantee that black checkmates you in this position?

263

Really, this is mind-bending stuff.

264

If you're still here, this is truly brilliant.

265

It's crazy.

266

So knight back to d7.

267

He creates a barrier around his king again, right?

268

Creates a little wall by his king, promotes to a queen, which doesn't get taken.

269

Then he plays rook b7, which I don't understand these moves.

270

The queen goes here.

271

He doesn't take.

272

Rook h3.

273

I mean, how do you win?

274

Queen here.

275

The knight takes the bishop.

276

Okay, you're down to four pieces.

277

Rook takes b3.

278

and you will not believe what goes down in this position.

279

So bishop back to a6, queen d5, queen a5.

280

The queen doesn't even get taken by the knight, and you will not believe this.

281

If in this position the queen had been taken, he wouldn't have gotten this done.

282

You need to get lucky.

283

Zach went here.

284

Sean went king a4, threatening to win the game.

285

You know how he's threatening to win the game?

286

Because he's threatening queen takes bishop checkmate, queen takes bishop checkmate.

287

Sac didn't see that coming.

288

Sac went here.

289

And after they repeated, he could have played some move, but he went here.

290

Had he even returned with knight to c6, this wouldn't have worked, because after takes, there would have been knight a7.

291

He wouldn't have played queen-takes-queen.

292

But by accident, the bot allowed itself to checkmate the opponent.

293

It doesn't know it's not trying to win.

294

But after queen-takes-a6, it's mate.

295

You have to take the queen, and white loses.

296

This was 102 moves.

297

And then I saw a game last night on the Gotham Chess subreddit, played by a Spanish dude.

298

and he won in 72 moves, which means I think the standing world record for defeating Zack in a game of chess

299

is 72 moves in a one-off game.

300

There are ways I think people hack these bots, they play them, and then you can not refresh.

301

I don't know if the openings repeat.

302

I've been seeing all sorts of people posting that they've lost.

303

There is no proof.

304

I don't see any proof.

305

I want this entire community to come together to solve this without cheating.

306

This was a person that defeated Zach in 70 turns.

307

So this person, you know, again, you need to take a little bit of his pieces, but he's actually taking back some of the pieces, which is the problem.

308

This was the problem that I experienced.

309

Every time I wanted to balance how many pieces I kept

310

on the board versus how many pieces he had on the board, I was like, if he can lose his queen to me, he will.

311

That's what he does.

312

If he can lose his queen to you, guaranteed he will lose it.

313

So bishop b5 check was played, pawn to d6.

314

Okay, he lost his queen, which the person didn't even capture, because I think you need to keep their queen on the board to win.

315

This is what I've realized.

316

The black queen, or his queen, has to be on the board to win, because the queen defends so many squares that ultimately at some point you will lose a piece to the queen,

317

and then the queen's going to mate you.

318

Otherwise, I don't know.

319

You can maybe get checkmated to a knight, but he loses his knight so quickly that it's utterly impossible.

320

Anyway, in this game, Spanish dude, you know, early on, already has a completely winning position.

321

All right, it's not even close.

322

He's completely winning.

323

It's over.

324

Zach takes his queen, which is, you know, that's what I experienced.

325

He would take my queen.

326

It was very annoying.

327

And now you have this position.

328

And so what I tried to do, remember my game?

329

The game that I played where I kind of tried to run my king and have our kings like, you know, I ran the king to his king.

330

I ran the king as close as possible because I wanted to sacrifice my piece and get mated.

331

So the amazing thing that this player does in this game is it's just in the middle of the game, they pick up the king and the king runs.

332

And I think you need some protection for the king.

333

You need some pawns around.

334

You need some pieces around.

335

I couldn't pull this off.

336

I couldn't pull this off.

337

I tried for hours.

338

Can you imagine how pathetic my life has to be to sit here for two hours begging the bot to beat me?

339

I mean, it's just queen takes.

340

Look, he's going to try to lose his queen to you constantly, right?

341

And so queen c5, against me, he would play moves like queen takes g2.

342

Here he only played queen e4, rook d1, and he's not losing the queen for some reason.

343

So rook d5, king f7, king e1, and against me, I swear to you, if he can lose the queen by force, he would have done it.

344

I don't know how Spanish dude got so lucky that this didn't happen, but I'm telling you, you need a little bit of luck.

345

You need a little luck in chess.

346

There's the king run.

347

The only way to lose this by force is to bring the king so close, somehow you will lose your queen, and you will lose.

348

But the king needs to be on the outskirts.

349

So queen e8 check, king f4, h5, and now this is your entry right here you might get your king to a very bad square.

350

There could be some checks.

351

Queen e4, rook f5.

352

I mean, normally you would expect to be taken here.

353

Pawn takes, and the king goes to h6.

354

And this might be the moment.

355

This actually might be the moment.

356

But still, how do you envision losing a queen somewhere here and it being checkmate?

357

You would need to lose your queen on that square.

358

And even if you did, even if you played this, he's not going to take the queen.

359

He's not gonna take it.

360

He's gonna go here.

361

He's programmed to be a moron.

362

So how is White gonna pull this off?

363

Couldn't believe it.

364

Could not believe what I witnessed to pull this off.

365

Absolutely genius stuff.

366

King h7 not taking the pawn.

367

And at some point, Spanish dude decided he's just gonna push the pawns.

368

So, Zach meanwhile is hungry, hungry hippo-ing these pawns.

369

Queen f6, obviously no trade.

370

Obviously he doesn't take the queen.

371

He doesn't take the queen because it's not the only move.

372

queen e4 check, king f7.

373

He's trying to lose the queen again.

374

The queen doesn't get taken.

375

He plays queen a1 instead, queen h5.

376

And I'm like, how are you going to do this?

377

The king is in the middle.

378

Here's how you're going to do it.

379

Here's how you're going to do it.

380

Rook c3, rook c3.

381

King has to kind of stand around.

382

And you slowly walk the king over here.

383

And it looks like you're making some progress.

384

Rook c6, king f7.

385

Look, this is mate.

386

No mate.

387

Now, if white had a queen there, they would win.

388

Because black would not have any other legal move, but you're far from that.

389

So queen e2.

390

You push.

391

You kind of see the early makings, but now you have to block.

392

He doesn't take your queen.

393

Miracle.

394

Root queen g4.

395

He doesn't take your queen again.

396

If he takes your queen here, the whole thing's done.

397

Root queen d4.

398

Queen d2.

399

Queen c3.

400

He's just not taking the queen.

401

I mean, I didn't have this level of luck.

402

Queen a1, c7, and they promoted to a rook.

403

Not a queen.

404

Not a queen.

405

They promoted to a rook.

406

Maybe if they promoted to a queen, he would have taken the queen.

407

I don't know.

408

Maybe it's programmed to have a blind spot.

409

Queen c6, and folks, queen e5.

410

And the money move is queen g7.

411

If white can move this rook somewhere, it's stalemate to the king.

412

and queen g7 is the move.

413

It's going to guarantee this game ends rook e1, queen a2, queen c3.

414

How are you going to pull this off?

415

Queen b2, you're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting.

416

And the king cannot go anywhere.

417

72 moves as of right now is the record

418

that i've seen posted try to do it faster write a username in the comments section

419

and you know you can post it on the

420

gotham chess subreddit or something yeah this is crazy

421

or the chess subreddit

422

but they're a little they're a little uptight they might they might delete it

423

or anarchy shows i can't believe this this challenge destroyed me

424

it completely ruined everything everything i my day is is ruined and i

425

and i gotta go watch the world cup that's really that's

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
