I personally like the games where Levy just has no clue, guesses and is like 500 rating points off. This is at least as entertaining as watching a 1500 losing his Queen in 10 secounds!
@@AditiSingh-ie6fy You have to be a twitch sub to levy and have your game ready at the exact moment he announces he's doing another GTE on stream. So *very* hard to get in.
Same, There was a game where my opponent was demolishing me, up a knight and massive attack. I threatened mate in one two different ways cause my rooks jailed his king and my queen was threatening it. But one was already defended by his queen and all he had to do was intercept the other rook with his rook and I would be dead lost. He resigned and I won lol
I'm black in the second game. When i traded the bishop i calculated that i would get another piece from white. I think i missed that the knight could defend against the queen check and simultanously defend the bishop. If i saw that i wouldn't even play Nxe4 because i definetly didn't see d5 haha. Thanks for the reaction Levy. Was fun to watch :) Oh and i know i need work on my openings especially in the sicilian when and where to move the queen. I know it's essential to play Qc7, Qb6 or Qa5 in the right moments in the opening but i can't grasp when that is.
Fun game man, also as a fellow dragon player you should always take some measure to prevent white from playing e5. It has happened way too many times when I started & it's an annoying move.
@@violetstrides On e5 i actually wanted to play Nf4 and attack that pawn. But i just followed that line and it's pretty crazy but white can indeed hang on to the pawn and then it's just bad for black. So i won't play that again haha
@@adrianmessow3448 The d5 move was after making that Horsey sac and before taking the rook with your bishop as pointed out by levy exactly at 9:34 the point of that move is to deflect the bishop from where its standing because the threat is to check black and win bishop but any knight block will defend bishop so if white bishop takes pawn d5. The line goes like what you did Bishop takes rook queen takes back after that queen can check on a4 then take white bishop. You are up a piece. And is clearly winning but becareful of dark square weaknesses on kingside cause u traded your bishop early. A fianchetto'd bishop shouldn't be traded early even for a rook. Only time a fianchettod bishop should be traded is if its the same colored bishop u are trading for. So yeah I don't really know what you are thinking but What do I know im just rated 1000 :
I re read your comment, I now understood what you're saying about the sac you didnt consider a backwards knight move and you didnt calculate d5 but u know how it goes so no need for me to explain that part but still my point is bishop for rook, meeeh.
Playing Sicilian is risky because of how much theory there is, but if you know 5-6 variations until move 10 you can easily win until 1700-800 cuz even there openings are trash and give good advantage
"The booster seat King's Gambit!!" That last game - a GTE classic and what a rant! Rb8 ditty and all the rest. GTE is just the best - what a great episode! I'll be laughing all day! Thanks for the great entertainment!
These are my favorite days when a new guess the elo comes out great stuff! You should start giving yourself a score to see how close or far off you were in total with the five games.
19:25 there's a certain top player that blundered the same way against Giri in Tata Steel in 2022. Also some other player vs Van Foreest in Oslo eSports (although that was a bishop). Some people are still learning how knights move 😂
9:58 Levy: “Thats why i tell NOBODY under 1500 play the scicillian dragon!” Also levy: *Teaches Michelle Khare, who was 600 at the time the scicillian dragon*
0:43 I LOVE THIS CLIP SO MUCH "im an attacking savant" literally 30 seconds later "yo im mad trash *goes mentally insane*" cannot stop thinking about this clip
I just wanted to comment here because I am absolutely flabbergasted by how good of a teacher you are. This idea of guess the elo was completely genius, as i have learned so much more from watching this series than from any paid lessons or puzzles I have done. Just seeing all these games of different levels and explaining such high-level moves in simple ways, and constantly going out of your way to make the mistakes and blunders 10 times as funny, i just wanna say i love you, i have no idea how anyone can hate this series, and i hope it goes on till the end of time. thank you
Well he makes garbage openings video, see his recent vid too, the opening he teaches isn't a well known one, it's better to watch someone else If you really want to learn stuff.
Magnus Carlos a 2800+ player also blundered his rook recently xD But yeah it's still embarrassing an 1800 missed an obvious capture where the rook is literally right next to the king with no protection. Maybe it was trolling a bit thinking they were still winning and didn't take on purpose lol Once I checked a 2200 player with my queen and it was hanging could've been captured by their queen, they missed it ,and I captured their queen that became hanging lol They still had 20 seconds too. Players have good days and bad days for sure. After becoming 1800 I rarely hang my queen, but on rare occasions I do, and a lot of players have more trust for me to not hang a piece being above 1800, so sometimes you trust your opponent too much based on their rating, especially if you play many games where an 1800 wouldn't blunder something like that, it's kinda like reverse psychology.
I love how twitch chat is always guessing random ass shit, and then acts surprised when the actual rating is different from what Levy said. 'BROOOO HOW??!?!' buddy, you thought that was two actual lawn chairs playing far above your skill ceiling, sit down.
To be fair, everyone misses mate in one levy especially in blitz or rapid...I could tell he was at least 1500 because he played the opening far better than I do as a 1300-1400. I've even seen hikaru miss mate in 1 with 2 or 3 minutes on the clock that I saw, it just happens sometimes
I love when Levy is like "I guarantee if you check the database this position has literally never happened, nothing makes sense here" while it looks like a typical game for me when I play rapid lmao
I saw the engine lines at 5:55 and knew exactly what was coming.. -70.2 or M2 for white is hilarious edit: I wrote this comment before the end of the game assuming that was it, holy shit
I think it would be super fun to have a total tally at the end of each of these that show how far off you were with your guesses. Then you could compare how well you did to previous episodes.
Chess analysis on the site should call out bad moves. Instead of saying "mistake", it should say "Qa1 is an embarrassing move. You missed mate. You should resign here."
People underestimate how much is hung in a high elo game. Us 300s don't see the position the way the GMs do. Levy underestimates what 1200s can hang. As a 300 rapid player I play a friend that consistently rates above 1100 rapid and he never wrecks me it's always competitive. High elo chess players don't remember how much anarchy happens in early elo chess. If I had players that respected me the way others do I'd actually be able to play a little bit of theory. Early elo chess is complete anarchy and if you study real chess moves you actually weaken yourself
Levy, it's just like any other videogame, boardgame, sport, etc. As the player base expands (and chess has exploded recently) everyone just gets better. An 1800 rated player today would probably have been a 2100 rated player 3 years ago, but everyone is better now.
In most episodes I wonder if his standards aren’t too high, or ask where the hell all the supposedly trash four digit players are when I play, but honestly in this episode…I have no idea. I honestly have hope my Elo will get to 1800, while also being ashamed of being a 1400 lower than some of these people.
This is easily my favorite youtube series. You are actually challenging people to submit games where the ELO is unguessable :) It's you against the Chess Gods :)
I think a good video idea would be "Common Opening Blunders" where you go through some openings and some "natural" moves that are actually blunders and how to properly play against them
First of all, I admire your courage in wanting to get "into the brains" of some of the players. I seriously believe that playing fast without paying the price of developing strong chess habits through slower play can lead to the hilarious insanity of some games. I experience this all the time when I am seduced into playing fast.
As a whole this is still very entertaining. I’m not even sure I have a game I could submit to guess the elo. If it has to be something “content worthy”. I would just submit something that I played well at and I was proud of to see what Levy has to say about it.
This episode didn't have any draws/stalemates, so, it stands to reason that there could be other chess games that require Mr. Levy's especially descriptive critiques on such styles of game play. Such a display will reveal untold entertainment values.
The ELO series should focus exclusively on games played at the Rapid time constraints. I think this would increase the overall quality of the games covered, helping all of us. Everyone should probably be playing more rapid anyway.
It's really the way Levi has so much hope and I "generosity" for peopes elo just to cut in to them with no remorse for being let down that their ELO is higher than he thought. Too good 😅😅😅
In final game when I saw e4 e5 d3 I thought that might have been a gotcha. That move order is played by some surprisingly strong club level players who prefer to go for inverse Philidor. 3.f4 confirmed it wasn't that though. The move is 3.Nf3, black typically develops the second knight and plays d5. It's a low theory choice for a hobbiest. Not as good as Stonewall but certainly playable if you know it really well and black doesn't. Should also note that 3.f4 is not a terrible move. There are games in masters db played with that move order.
I don't know if this is good or bad for your analytics but it always takes me 3 tries to watch your videos because I remember how beautiful chess can be and start playing a game and watch it later
levy just hasnt realized how far the quality of chess has fallen in the below 23xx lvl (where i am at and noticing it) people just lost a lot of skill/drive due to the lack of otb chess
I've definitely noticed Levi that us sub 1000+ is that we usually excel at one or two parts of the game but lack heavily in one. Great opening but bad endgame. Bad middle game but great endgame etc.
The way each game brings such intensity
and by intensity you mean queen gambits
