When your opponent starts the game with A3 / H3 (or A7 / H7): "If you wrote a chess playing algorithm that would analyze all possible moves in any situation and always choose the worst one possible, it would not be bright enough to have thought of A3."
I mean, to be fair, when RUclips makes the same joke 100 times on the same day, you only see the five most upvoted copies of that joke unless you really go scrolling.
This one was fun haha! My one suggestion is that you read out the elos once they're revealed - it's near impossible to read the numbers on a small screen like a phone
I second that. I'm viewing this on a 20 inch screen and I would have to lean forward and peer closely at the screen in order to see the Elos -- which would probably be out of focus anyway.
Levy, I highly recommend the meme video "hardest decision in chess, en passant or checkmate". It really proves your point at around 1:15 and it is fun to watch.
