I agree with most of the comments, slow down like 90%. Analyze why is it a good move or not, what is the theory of this opening. Spend 3 minutes in each game that’s my guess. Thanks again for your great videos
This seems rather improvised, I'm assuming he just felt like trying to play the game, I don't think he was trying to be educational, let him have his fun.
This isn't a vide made for youtube, it's from his live stream on Twitch. It would be very boring to slow down that much during a stream. He's trying something different for fun, that's it.
Is this YT only content? I heard you saying in Levy's podcast that you would start doing it. It was really cool listening to you on the podcast, your struggles are so relatable (but adapted to a GM of chess reality). Keep up with the amazing work and with the kindness and light heartness that somewhat define you. You are a great teacher and seems like a great person too.
YES!! Danya with Guess the Elo! It's like my favorite chess concept and my favorite chess streamer had a baby; this video!! Can't wait to watch future videos with the same theme!
Exciting series! I personally think you should go through the games a bit slower and look at different lines and why certain moves may be poor and such
nah i like it faster since he is already doing many insturctive contents , here he is chilling ...i mean its just my opinion ..i dont know what people wants
I feel like he's underrating 1600ish players due to the fact that usually openings arent good, but as Ben Finegold says, openings under 2000 dont matter, because being slightly worse in an opening doesnt matter when your opponent blunders a piece at move 20 if you play solidly. I am around 1600 and I know very few openings.
Yup! A little higher than that and looking at my analyses it's always like 10 inaccuracies in a row in the opening 15 moves between us, but my wins (and losses) are all still blunders in the mid game (maybe not even a full piece, but just completely throwing the structure away for e.g. a bad pawn push). That being said I was shocked how quickly and accurately he got some of these.
also people on lichess typically are trash at openings for their skill level (meaning when I play people my level on other sites or irl they know openings better than average lichess players)
Finegold’s idea doesn’t make any sense imo. If you have opening knowledge and your (equally skilled) opponent doesn’t, you will have consistently have better midgame positions. Does finegold want people to just yolo their pieces out, hope they don’t get positionally crushed, then look for tactics? Why not just spend 3 minutes researching the correct way to play the first 5 moves so you can have a way better position and thus more tactical opportunities? If his argument is that having a good position doesn’t guarantee a win, then so what? Top GM’s can beat IM’s and lower rated GM’s with piece odds. Should 2000’s just play without bishops because pieces don’t matter until super GM level?
Love the content, this being nice and refreshing too! Shows also just how good you are when I have to slow down the video to see what's happening lol. Also I died on 9:55, not a draw, not aborted match, just instantly giving up haha!
The thing I enjoyed about other guess the elo's is that they actually analyze the line and suggest better moves and strategies, whereas this is mainly just for entertainment which is fine.
I think the same, but maybe analysing games from random players wouldn't be worth his time. Levy does it cause they're his subs. Besides, we always have his speedruns for deeply analysed games :)
Man its pretty hard to keep up with whats going on since danya is blitzing through the moves so fast. The guesses really lack context for me imo since the entire game just happened in 10 seconds Just take Game 1 for example, i dont think a regular viewer is keeping up with why white played well and responded to all the threats sufficiently to merit a 1500-1600 guess since, i dont wanna speak for others, but i really couldn’t see what happened in midgame unless i paused the video every second to see the position
My guess is that these blitz games are 3+0 and that's why we (including Danya) keep underestimating the players' ratings. HUGE difference between 3+2 games and 3+0 in how they're played.
Do people on here have a stick up their but? Not everything has to be deep analysis and learning this shit is just for fun its a good break from the speedrun and overall more variety to the channel.
Yeah definitely need to slow down so we can appreciate the awful or brilliant moments in the game, we can't process the game nearly as quickly as you haha
TBH, I don't like this guess the elo series on youtube overall. I don't blame Danya, but currently, he is one of the best free chess teachers and he is god in his speedrun series. I think this guess the elo series is a bit step back
Need to slow down a wee bit. Maybe talk about why some move is amazing and another is dubious, so I can see the pieces jump around all over the place and not just a blur.
I stopped watching after the first game. You’re kind of missing the fun way to do this. The point isn’t to watch you burn through at 100 moves per second and see you make a guess. It’s more engaging when you slow way down and talk about the moves, why a move indicates a certain ELO, why a move sucks, why it’s good, what would be better, etc.
Oh. I see the "Please subscribe" is gone from the title banner. I didn't like it there. I hope more people can subscribe because they like Daniel, though.
Love you Danya, but you re taking away all the fun of this game. The point is not to go as quickly as you can and guess accurate the most games, the point is to analyse the games a bit slower , so that we mortals can keep up with you and practically play this game with us viewers together.
go a little slower and explain your thought process like if you believe they're 1500, tell us moves that would change your mind like "if he finds Ke2, totally 2700 super gm" or something like that. all things considered, it's a SHAME that you only did it once for 15minutes, do it more times it's superfun
Levy is a giant goober and I don't want to have to watch him to get my guess the elo fix, but when it's randomly selected games rather than curated subscriber games, it loses most of its magic.
I think this is the same idea with a different format / execution. I have a feeling that if Levy has real concerns about this being his content, that'll probably be a private conversation. That being said, I'm also pretty sure that Levy understands the nature of this kind of content and won't be bothered. All speculation though.
Daniel watches 25 moves in 10sec: "this is theory they played very well"
Me: "What is even happening"
It's pretty basic once you are familiar with the theory.
@@ChessJourneyman damn im glad 3 people watching this are familiar with the theory to that level
@@RK9. lmao
When you see the same opening over and over again 1000+ times (or in Danya's case: who knows how many times), it's hard to forget.
Me: plays 1. e4
Danya: *this is already a red flag*
Magnus and Nepotism want a talk
Jesus his guesses were phenomenal... He is blitzing through, compared to other streamers and still guessing almost perfectly
I agree with most of the comments, slow down like 90%. Analyze why is it a good move or not, what is the theory of this opening. Spend 3 minutes in each game that’s my guess. Thanks again for your great videos
This seems rather improvised, I'm assuming he just felt like trying to play the game, I don't think he was trying to be educational, let him have his fun.
He did say he had to go soon during the stream so that was probably why
He’s not doing it to analyze some shitty 1200 blitz game lmao
This isn't a vide made for youtube, it's from his live stream on Twitch. It would be very boring to slow down that much during a stream. He's trying something different for fun, that's it.
It would be extrememly disappointing if we don't get a Danya rap on AnarchyChess from his Guess The ELO
Title: Damn Gurl
You are a person of culture and I respect that.
Amen!
"You are telling me, that a 1600 rated player got flagged up a piece."
Is this YT only content? I heard you saying in Levy's podcast that you would start doing it.

Can't wait to watch future videos with the same theme!
Waiting for this guess the elo. Levy, Hikaru, and now Daniel!!!
@@icancu9680 hello
hello
@@WW-pg1ro hello
hello
For context, at 7:00 Levy was watching and on stream he said this game is in the "1500 to 1600 range". Shows you the difference between a GM and an IM
that's concerning
Exciting series! I personally think you should go through the games a bit slower and look at different lines and why certain moves may be poor and such
Isn't that what Gothamchess does?
But would love it if both do it
It would be better if it's slower analysis so we can learn a bit
nah i like it faster since he is already doing many insturctive contents , here he is chilling ...i mean its just my opinion ..i dont know what people wants
@@mayankpm9417 doesn't matter Danya is way better teacher
Watch his speed runs for that
The world needs more speed run!! I speak on its behalf!
Yessir!!!

yea but i mean learning an opening when you’re 2000? they’re gonna eat you with theory
Yeah I’m at 1600 and when I’m white I play ruy-lopez or Italian, and the only theory I know is up to when the bishop comes out lmao
Finegold’s idea doesn’t make any sense imo. If you have opening knowledge and your (equally skilled) opponent doesn’t, you will have consistently have better midgame positions.

"Okay so we've got g4"
Well, this is only going one of two ways.
Love the content, this being nice and refreshing too! Shows also just how good you are when I have to slow down the video to see what's happening lol. Also I died on 9:55, not a draw, not aborted match, just instantly giving up haha!
The thing I enjoyed about other guess the elo's is that they actually analyze the line and suggest better moves and strategies, whereas this is mainly just for entertainment which is fine.
His speed runs are where he focuses on that type of approach
I guess my homework can wait
Maybe going through the moves a little slower is a good idea. I do enjoy guess the elo, but with no context it's a little bland.
I prefer the relaxed and casual vibes for these types of videos, and Daniel is probably not very interested in explaining games under 2000 elo imo.
Watch his speedrun series, he's just chilling here
I think the same, but maybe analysing games from random players wouldn't be worth his time. Levy does it cause they're his subs.
Besides, we always have his speedruns for deeply analysed games :)
@@Vasycss I agree. I prefer the casual vibe of this. Him more deeply analysing games is what the speedruns are for.
For some reason, I enjoyed you doing this more than other chess content creators
It would be cool if you played against other players and then guessed their ELO
Wow! What an epic miniature!
1. Nc3!! 1-0
Very nice. Guess the elo with Daniel's analysis judgment is gonna be fun. Keep up great content
It’s actually so fun to watch! Thank you Danya!
Love you’re doing this. But like others are saying, if you could really slow down the moves it would benefit all us plebs greatly :)
Watch his speed runs
Someone: Hangs a queen 25 times
Danya: You played really well
You should make more of these
the thumbnail is awesome!
the weird bishop move around 12:00 could have been either a mouse slip or some sort of bait for the pawn to come forward he studied? I don't know ...
Can't wait for the comments on Levy's channel saying that Danya Guess the Elo is better because it's for "smarter people".
THE WORLD'S MOST EPIC CROSSOVER OF ALL TIME
Ty for the content Danya
lmfao that first game was me!!!! thats crazy
Love these videos. Favorite chess streamer :)
I really like this less theatrical type of guess the elo.
LOVE THIS PLEASE KEEP DOING SOME
Man its pretty hard to keep up with whats going on since danya is blitzing through the moves so fast. The guesses really lack context for me imo since the entire game just happened in 10 seconds

Daniel please do a hyper bullets speedrun
dang you analize so fast
Danya you should continue masterclass or gm game analysis.
I agree 100%! Best teacher on RUclips!
That's very interesting tip of video!
My favorite was he guessed the ELO based on one move.
If you don’t mind,What is the best variation against black if played Bb2& Bg2 plus d4 or e4 ? Thank you
A literal guess the ELO god
My guess is that these blitz games are 3+0 and that's why we (including Danya) keep underestimating the players' ratings. HUGE difference between 3+2 games and 3+0 in how they're played.
Gotham vs danya vs hikaru guess the elo would be dope af
cool thumbnail daniel
Would be more fun if we were told the time control and time taken for each move
That's what I was thinking too, some players vary 200+- at different time controls
If possible you can go a bit slower, with more insights as to why a particular rating. Might make it more interesting.
Please do more of this don't care about speed and i'm terrible at chess.
Do people on here have a stick up their but? Not everything has to be deep analysis and learning this shit is just for fun its a good break from the speedrun and overall more variety to the channel.
I enjoyed this. I thought your pace was normal for entertainment purposes. I’d say rewatch if you’re having trouble following.
10:36 nf5 is crushing
bxc6 first is the winning move mb
Very fun, would love to see more of these :D
Did he say a podcast with Gotham?
LEGEND
Nice video
Ayyy yeah
Great thumbnail!
Waiting for the Guess The Elo match against Levy!
Yeah definitely need to slow down so we can appreciate the awful or brilliant moments in the game, we can't process the game nearly as quickly as you haha
Guess the Elo [Speedrun]
LETS FREAKING GO
Danya, I love you.
YESSSSS
Which app he uses
Could you go through the games faster please youtube only lets me play on 2x speed
It is kinda distracting that the board is so far left on the screen. Otherwise, really good!
Dude can you slow down with the moves and maybe add some explanation for your reasoning? Us chess-normies cannot understand everything that quickly
YES THANK YOU!!!
TBH, I don't like this guess the elo series on youtube overall. I don't blame Danya, but currently, he is one of the best free chess teachers and he is god in his speedrun series. I think this guess the elo series is a bit step back
Im in love with danya
By the way teach the sicilian . 👍👍👍👍👍daniel ur very good theacher!!!!! Tnks.
Need to slow down a wee bit. Maybe talk about why some move is amazing and another is dubious, so I can see the pieces jump around all over the place and not just a blur.
I cant follow the game at this speed :(
I love you father
Love your content PLS upgrade mic and camera!
That's my best friend so far?
You edge out Dubov to be my favourite GM.
You should really slow down for the viewers, I would really like to hear your opinion about more specific moves
entertaining. maybe streamer could give viewer a few more seconds when looking through the moves
I found this very hard to follow, I would suggest slowing down a bit
Even though it was obviously a troll game, I feel like 1. Nc3 already gave away it can't be anything above 1400 lol
disagree. I’m a high 2000 and I play 1. a3 and 1. Nc3 frequently
@@zwishking6032 1. a3? Oh indeed you must be high
How is he so good at this lol
Ya I would prefer some educational content added to guess the elo
I dont like "guess the elo" . Daniel come bace to regular lesons !!! 👍👍👍👍

Oh. I see the "Please subscribe" is gone from the title banner. I didn't like it there. I hope more people can subscribe because they like Daniel, though.
Slow down ;_;
Eww. Levy reference.
Maybe a little bit slower could be more entertaining, all i see are MOVES, not blunder or good moves.
Love you Danya, but you re taking away all the fun of this game.

It's not like Levy has a copyright on it though
levy took agad's recaps sooooo
Too fast man. Not that entertaining like Levy, which is okay but you went too fast for some of us
I really hope you don't get into the habit of doing stuff with Gotham.
