I think 100 ELO being the cap masks the fact that two 100 ELO players can be wildly different in strength. It's possible that if two 100 ELO players play 20 rounds against each other, one of them will win every single game because the other should actually be -500 ELO.
I also think that at that level its difficult to really score a player. As someone who has played a 100 in real life, they are usually very unpredictable. I think below 100 elo its basically a coinflip as to who spots the others blunder first.
Really depends of what kind of 100 elo playstyle they have. I myself keeps winning if the board is open since I was a kid (even now) but loses in every other way.
It's awesome how Joe bounced back and made that epic comeback. This truly illustrates that in chess, as in life, it's not over until it's over. It's also reaffirming that we're all here to learn and improve, no matter our ELO.

100 ELO chess: Welcome to Blundertown! Where every analysis is a huge back and forth between "blunder" and "miss", and the evaluation bar becomes impredictible.
A lot of new players come each day, so each day being a 400, a 900 or a 1500 is harder. This doesn't mean a 400 will decline to hang their queen as soon as possible, just that a 400 of then would do it worse. Joe is an absolute legend, a grandmaster of sudden genius moves and powerful plot twists. And it's even better when Levy has a seizure while perfectly narrating this games.
This was really fun 😂I am at the same level as these two guys and i loved Levies commentary. I couldn’t stop laughing, but at the same time learned a few new things what NOT to do 😂
7:25 I mean, using my ooga booga brain, the logic here is definitely just "next move I'll take queen, and he can't take queen with king cause rook is now defending it" and then it's game over after that. I know this cause this is actually a move I do quite often lol. But unfortunately it hasn't worked yet even my 200 rating opponents see this every time and block it

Me three! I found Levy through Anna last year when one of her videos was randomly suggested to me. I think that recommendation was the first video about chess I'd ever watched!
It was so fascinating watching the evaluation bar at the side throughout the game, and see how almost every single play that wasn't a directly forced move managed to somehow move the bar towards the other side.
A little while ago I had an alt account from 4 years ago and I hate myself for even beginning to form the thought of being good back then. Watching that game was the equivalent of boiling my eyes
