Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to your favorite series on the internet, Guess the Elo.
2
If you're new to this series, this is a series where I take my subscriber games while I'm live on Twitch,
3
I analyze them without knowing their chess strength, and then I try to estimate their chess elo, and I compare it to chess .com's game review.
4
Normally, this series is extremely ridiculous and chaotic and stupid
5
and bad and entertaining
6
but in this episode we had some brilliant moves
7
we had some extremely high quality chess you're gonna learn you're gonna laugh
8
but of course it wouldn't be guess the elo
9
if we didn't have a circus also stay tuned for the later games in this video
10
because you are not going to believe your eyes enjoy we are never going to get the same magic
11
that we got last time we're never gonna get it and already the gotham sub plays an opening i do not support.
12
Bishop to b5.
13
Knight e7.
14
This is called the cosio defense.
15
The cosio variation of the Rulopas.
16
I don't think anybody knew that who was participating in this game, but, you know, just in case.
17
d3 is completely fine.
18
Although, in this opening, you are supposed to play c3 and d4.
19
Like, that is really what you're trying to do, but this is fine.
20
Bishop a4.
21
Obviously, the idea is to do this this
22
so you should not you should not take good okay castle okay it's still like
23
ah okay all right um yeah
24
this is this is a wee bit uga for me
25
this is a bit weird i mean it's still fine now my friend should you trade the bishop
26
or not is a very tough question i would say don't trade
27
because your bishop is of a higher quality it's actually got
28
but of course okay all right and now yeah b4 is triple digit stuff
29
that or like very very very low four digit stuff um now the second
30
that black castles white also castles very funny right like white plays great opening doesn't castle doesn't castle
31
because the bishop was hanging doesn't castle doesn't castle trades the bishop chases the knight doesn't count like oh
32
i got a castle right
33
knight g6 is apparently a mistake yeah so opposite side castling
34
if any of you have the middle games master class your brain will just immediately be wired
35
that is the whole point of taking my courses um you don't have to take my courses to watch castillo
36
but your brain will just be like oh opposite side castling
37
so what's a good move here
38
that prepares an attack
39
you want to play a4 b5 a lot of you would just go here
40
i would like to take with a pawn though
41
so you would play a4 but then you would hang the pawn so let's play rook b1
42
right right there you go or knight or knight d5 to defend that
43
but all right knight g5 is just not playing on the right side of the board
44
excellent plan now this is also just not a good move
45
because you removed the main defender
46
and now we have c6 there is knight b6 okay a4 b5 just go for an attack okay don't hate
47
that move free pawn fantastic a4 b5 c4 b5 oh knight b6 okay so uh
48
wow wow that's not you don't need to do that there's i mean you could just like go here
49
or yeah or or triple triple triple all right so we're starting guess the elo okay they even no, en passant.
50
Okay, now I'm back to thinking it's quadruple, the digits.
51
Oh my god, removing the defender.
52
Look at this, bishop takes knight, queen c6 on the way.
53
Wow.
54
Why did you submit this game?
55
This is a very interesting question.
56
By the way, there was pawn b7 was brutal, but okay, that was just, I mean, you just killed him.
57
I don't even...
58
Wow.
59
Um...
60
i have a feeling it's a three three digit elo game or a very low like a thousand or something
61
because again i i'm my theory is that this is a game submitted by a low rated player who wants
62
uh you know who wants like to be hyped up
63
and i mean the spanish right like ru lopez maybe 11 1200
64
black playing whatever on earth this is like night before is weird that's a weird move
65
and then a3b4 is weird you know, the tunnel vision, not castling.
66
I'm gonna say 1100 uh, that just seems like a safe guess I don't know
67
if it seems like a safe guess to y 'all it seems like a safe guess to me um,
68
I, I, that's just what I think I mean, it, it really let's see,
69
1100 -ish 813 blitz EIGHT HUNDRED?
70
WOW!
71
Damn Sagar?
72
Okay, well his username is 1395, so you know, he's playing the way he wants to play.
73
And what does chess .com think?
74
1300!
75
Okay, so I said 1100, Chesscom thinks you're 1300, wow.
76
And yeah, your opponent unfortunately got...
77
Yeah, white overpowered, yeah, white OP.
78
Okay, didn't need the political views of the game review there.
79
That's a little bit weird.
80
Maybe you should get a bit more well -adjusted game review.
81
Anyway, that's a joke.
82
Guess the ELO!
83
Guess the ELO screen.
84
Yes, game two now. That was a wow.
85
That was unbelievable.
86
I mean, that might have been the best game you've ever played.
87
I don't know why I had to sound a bit Irish there.
88
okay game number two that was a
89
that was a good start i mean my god
90
that was a high level game of chess okay okay scandy
91
take queen d5 scandy is one of the easiest openings to learn
92
you can you can learn the scandinavian in 60 seconds it's basically put the queen here you develop your pieces
93
and try to castle and
94
if they try to go after your queen the second they start doing
95
that you play c6 and you get away like that's that's literally it
96
so good okay
97
so black doesn't know what they're doing um
98
they don't know how to play this opening um black you're not supposed to do
99
that you're supposed to go here
100
if white ever does this you make a getaway you put the pawns put the bishop put the knight like
101
that and then you castle um okay c5 is not a huge mistake
102
but it's just not a good move
103
because you can play d5 wow holy moly we're off
104
we're off to a we're off to a good start today no we're not i take
105
that back wow yeah this is not i mean you can't learn an opening like this
106
and not know it past the third move fourth move
107
but i think the fourth move i mean c5 e5 is crazy
108
that is that is just that is the cleanest free pawn of all time
109
i mean it's just that now you got a passer and you're upon up and you got knight c4
110
yeah i would stay aggressive right i would stay aggressive but i don't hate this move
111
now a lesson for the beginners beginner chess lesson
112
if you have not castled yet
113
and you still need to move a bishop to castle
114
but your opponent has castled always and i mean always be careful of this check
115
so the best move here is probably bishop here because
116
if you play bishop here you're probably gonna have to go back
117
and if you block with this bishop your bishop is just going to be a target
118
so bishop d3 rook e8
119
and now one of these two moves this is a bit spooky
120
because knight g4 the computer thinks it's fine
121
because after knight g4 it's completely unafraid of this
122
but for the beginners it's just good to have
123
that in mind um
124
that doesn't happen that's i don't know what this even begins to do i would just play h3 queen c7
125
and this is called uh the fishing pole that's called the fishing pole
126
and this is something that you can do
127
if your opponent has castled um but you have not uh so that
128
when they take you have a rook this is not the fishing pole
129
this is this is you falling off the boat with with the fishing rod
130
this is not that's this is not a real thing um this is not a real thing
131
that now there is no actual attack whatsoever
132
um that's not that's just a free bishop okay yeah there is nothing here i mean
133
if these two could do like a like a fliparoni jutsu then maybe yeah now black goes g6
134
and white just traps the bishop yeah that
135
and wins it too wow both bishops died there that's incredible and and and just knight e4.
136
Good.
137
I would fight back on the h file.
138
Trade the rook.
139
Queen gotta be trapped somehow.
140
Yep.
141
Rook h1.
142
Check is good.
143
Take the pawn.
144
What is this episode?
145
Oh my god.
146
Oh my god.
147
It's a little a little bit.
148
They're getting a little ooga now.
149
A little bit ooga but okay.
150
Okay.
151
Don't panic.
152
Nice.
153
Protect the king at all times.
154
Go check.
155
Very important move.
156
Oh he found it.
157
Wow.
158
Wow, wow, that was weird,
159
that was, that was a weird one, like, Black played horribly.
160
white played what what is this episode y 'all today y
161
'all y 'all stopped messing around man y 'all really just playing really good moves
162
this was really nice took the center took the pawn castle defended your king called the bluff
163
and just calmly trapped the bishop now black's best move here is to take
164
and to try to do this
165
and i mean as long as you don't panic just look where they have a check
166
you know you can even bring the bishop back to g1 probably ah then there's queen h4, but maybe this is f2.
167
There's no queen h4.
168
There's no check.
169
No check.
170
Queen has to leave.
171
Yeah, I'm getting...
172
And then another very important lesson.
173
f3.
174
Very high -level move.
175
Very high -level move.
176
Understanding to defend this.
177
And right here, a lot of people would freak out with all this coming.
178
They might try to block the king.
179
Queen e5 is a nice and cerebral move.
180
And, of course, black blundered.
181
I'm gonna say, like, 1 ,400.
182
I think this is, like, a 1 ,300 -1 ,400 level game.
183
I really think so.
184
Let's see.
185
1 ,680?
186
How is black that high -rated?
187
What?
188
1 ,680 is ridiculous.
189
Oh, no. Nah.
190
I mean, white played well, but what?
191
Yo, black was smoking something.
192
I mean, that is...
193
Wow, yeah.
194
White got $17 .50 credit.
195
Black was $14 .50. Who the...
196
Yo, find me a $14 .50 on planet
197
Earth that plays E5.
198
That's a crazy...
199
Was that a mouse slip?
200
I mean, but this was also crazy.
201
Just like losing the...
202
I mean...
203
My friends, can I just say something? Can I...
204
Y 'all get me so tight, bro.
205
Can I say something real quick?
206
Yo.
207
Hold up.
208
Hold up.
209
Why are you starting a 15 -minute game and ending the game with 17 minutes on the clock?
210
What is wrong with you?
211
What is the matter with you?
212
This is why y 'all never get better.
213
Y 'all want to play that fast?
214
Play Bullet.
215
Play 3 -minute.
216
You about to be the world champion of Blitz.
217
What the hell is the matter with you?
218
Why are you giving yourself 15 minutes on the clock to have 17 minutes at the end?
219
I mean, I...
220
I don't even know what to say.
221
I don't even know.
222
Somebody just donated $15 and said, my birthday is coming up.
223
Should you ask your wife for Chesley courses?
224
Sure, we're in the middle of recording.
225
Do you see what catastrophe we're looking at?
226
Oh, God.
227
He ended with nearly two minutes more on the clock.
228
Guys, this is why you don't get better.
229
This is why you don't get better because like what are you doing?
230
Why?
231
Oh My goodness
232
Yeah, yeah ask ask her for a course ask her for ask her to get you a course
233
We used to have gifting we turn that off for now.
234
We're gonna offer a different alternative
235
How much are the courses?
236
I'm not telling you
237
It takes you 10 seconds to research that and as I always say
238
if you can't be bothered to begin the research for a course
239
You don't actually want the course.
240
I try to make you put in the work
241
Ah, nice, nice, nice, nice.
242
Wow, sensational stuff.
243
Where do you send the games?
244
I don't know.
245
Send them to your local post office.
246
D4, D5, C4.
247
Queen's Gambit accepted.
248
Okay, E4.
249
A lot of different stuff to play against this.
250
I would not play that.
251
If you're gonna play the Queen's Gambit accepted, I mean, this is the only thing that's scary.
252
Like, you have to know what you're doing here.
253
The way you play this is you play E5.
254
You don't play C5.
255
You could play C5, but it's not the best move.
256
Gotta strike back, because then they lose their right to castle.
257
This is not a good move, because they're gonna take the center, and I don't think you're good enough to deal with this.
258
Yep, you're not.
259
Okay, but neither is white.
260
I mean, like, this is Queen's Gambit 101 one i mean yeah bishop c4 is uh okay takes
261
you could take that it's a very these positions always confuse intermediate players
262
because they don't know like do they take do they just develop um
263
if you don't have to take you you don't you know you don't need to
264
but taking is also okay as long as the queen's not causing you any harm
265
Now I would just go here and castle.
266
Okay.
267
Knight f3. Do I coach still?
268
Absolutely not.
269
No. I coach the internet now.
270
Develop the rest of the pieces.
271
Maybe V5 is interesting.
272
Okay, that's a little slow.
273
Oh, you're trying to go here.
274
Uh -huh.
275
Uh -huh.
276
This is a crazy amount of tunnel vision.
277
I mean...
278
This is a crazy amount of tunnel vision.
279
I mean...
280
This...
281
This is wild.
282
I mean, like...
283
Look at this.
284
Come on.
285
I think black is struggling here because of the congestion.
286
And I don't blame you.
287
I would try to get your pieces out a different way, like knight a6, knight b4.
288
Try to lead with your pieces, right?
289
c5 is hanging.
290
No, it's definitely not hanging.
291
c4 is hanging.
292
But it's kind of not hanging because there's this.
293
There's, like, this stuff.
294
Anyway, this is your page 7.
295
And white goes here, which is a bad move, because if you follow the rules of checks, captures, and attacks in this position,
296
you will find the best move for black.
297
Will we have a sale?
298
I'm trying to record guess the elo.
299
I mean, listen, I love y 'all, but like, you're just fiending.
300
Are we going to have a sale?
301
Gotham, is there going to be a sale on the court?
302
Gotham!
303
Earth to Gotham, stop the recording.
304
Is there going to be a sale?
305
just let me finish you know it's not that important for me to address that at this very moment
306
probably will be you know are we going to have a probably let me finish we're analyzing we're doing
307
Guess the Elo here you know see that's what I like about YouTube they just watch they can't interrupt
308
why are the courses $300 bro this dude's on another website entirely that dude is on a different website
309
of course it's $300 if you follow the philosophy of checks captures attacks you'll realize
310
you'll realize that there are no checks there are no captures that make sense but attacks
311
Bishop is trapped okay you're down two pawns
312
you're starting your own attack I like this I don't hate it now white should probably trade the queens
313
trade the queens okay see look how easy the game is once your pieces start flowing knight e5
314
oh that's pretty wild he sacrificed the rook wow I mean it doesn't work but it's the thought that counts
315
the idea is this and then that that
316
that now unfortunately white gets moves too
317
so he can play like queen d3 you know queen d4
318
she could play queen d3 queen d4 queen g4 by the way hits this and this
319
good queen g4 or queen d4 check great move take the knight wow yep oh you are never winning this queen e7
320
d7 easy that's all right white's gonna win queen f4 queen h4
321
now the craziest part is this is still losing
322
the craziest part
323
is this is still losing even if you lose the the rook
324
if the king just went to g1 it's just d8 queen
325
you lost the queen you lost the rook you're still winning oh man
326
that's how bad your position was bud oh man all right check
327
now let's just not blunder a checkmate king just runs to safety
328
Don't run forward.
329
All right, you're fine.
330
Stop running forward.
331
Thank you.
332
Yo, yo, yo.
333
Go to stop and just hide.
334
Oh, my God.
335
He hung that.
336
Oh.
337
credit to the gotham subscriber for not resigning but oh dear lord oh god oh my that was incredible
338
dude was losing the whole time literally just the whole he was black was losing for 56 moves
339
but one in 57 i don't even know what the elo is man That's crazy.
340
I got...
341
I have no idea.
342
I mean, I still think that a good amount of control was demonstrated.
343
I mean, it's got to be like 1 ,000, right?
344
Got to be like 1 ,000.
345
I mean...
346
This was creative.
347
I mean, 1 ,000 would not find that.
348
No. Yeah, I'm thinking a bit higher, maybe.
349
Oh, one more thing.
350
Queen a4 check would not be played by anybody below, like, 1 ,500.
351
people below 1500 don't even know queens can move that far um so i'm gonna say like
352
i'm gonna say like 1600 like 15 1600 that's my guess let's see oh this time i was wrong 1000 damn
353
No, no, no, no, no,
354
no, hey, hey, hey, I straight up thought everybody thus far was good.
355
These guys happen to be lower rated.
356
Nothing I can do about that.
357
Also, guys, why are you mad?
358
All right, it doesn't matter if you're 1 ,600 or 1 ,000.
359
Y 'all all garbage anyway, man.
360
Y 'all all play like this too.
361
Stop it.
362
That's offensive.
363
Have you seen some of the games that have been submitted?
364
Talking about offensive.
365
Crazy.
366
All right.
367
Gotham sub.
368
All right.
369
Scotch.
370
Scotch declined.
371
Okay.
372
Taking.
373
Queen trade.
374
Takes the knight.
375
Okay, this is either like an 1800 who's damaging the pawn structure of the opponent, or this is like a 800 who's just taking pieces.
376
Okay.
377
Castles.
378
Okay, typical 900 level play.
379
Wow.
380
Defending the pawn.
381
Oh, this is a lot of information.
382
This is four digits right here. For sure.
383
Wow.
384
Look at that.
385
Bring the rook to the center.
386
Oh, the other knight is going.
387
Maybe c4.
388
Oh, I like that.
389
And then, okay, rook f2 will give a lot of information.
390
Rook f2, rook d2 is like a 1500 level maneuver.
391
If you play rook e1, you're like 11, 1200.
392
Mm -hmm.
393
b3, c4.
394
Oh!
395
Oh, damn.
396
Now I'm kind of back thinking this might be a 1500.
397
Oh, good.
398
Light square setup.
399
And now this is a backwards pawn.
400
Oh now maybe knight f2
401
and double the rooks how we doing no no
402
that's not no what are you doing stop what is black doing what is oh rook d6
403
he snuck it through g4 was completely idiotic but black just let the pawn go black never took
404
black just never took the pawn back what is rook b7 what is that that's a crazy move
405
oh I guess this is the idea but for some reason they just look staged
406
I mean the opening was sophisticated damaging the structure good play I told you this f3 move replacing the knight
407
anticipating that the knight would be hit, right?
408
That's an anticipating move.
409
If this, h6, you're going to lose the pawn probably, is what white thought.
410
Yeah, knight g5, f3 is wild.
411
I'm thinking 1 ,300.
412
I'm thinking 1 ,200, 1 ,300 with some stupidity toward the end, but let's see.
413
1 ,500.
414
Wow.
415
Even higher.
416
Oh, and I realized I never did this for the last game.
417
or the last game when I said
418
1600 so let me see what what does chess .com think of the last game
419
the thing is chess .com is going to give an estimate close to their ratings right?
420
it said they were both 1100 93 % by white 2200 estimate wow 1800 now well done
421
You Wow.
422
Wow.
423
Impressive stuff.
424
That was a good game.
425
Yeah, I didn't think it was any higher.
426
Like, I didn't think it was...
427
See, you know, like, this is a 1600 -level game.
428
And you guys are like, don't insult the 1600s.
429
Why did the 1600s play rook b7 and just allow the pawn to become a queen?
430
i don't right like that strange strange stuff rook d6 was definitely nice yes
431
that was definitely nice okay last game very nice little little calm guess the elo episode this time
432
all right knight f6 have i ever missed the tactic never in my life benoni wow 2 000 minimum
433
wow this is way too professional h3 to play knight f3
434
to prevent the pin h3 is not a great move but it i mean it makes sense wow what can somebody hang something
435
uh queen c7 is a very bad move why knight b5 okay yeah hanging queen c7 is is good information
436
it's probably like 1500
437
and below i mean you just can't yeah
438
that's like a knight b5 is a very natural thing to
439
spot people love these these knight jumps b3 bishop b2 wait a minute
440
he my brain my brain was like oh black castled my my brain didn't realize they castled long
441
what why holy shit just castle short what the heck for what yeah king b8
442
but now knight b5 now you're just inviting problems now white is gonna take
443
and oh god rook c1 oh this is
444
you got no attack of your own where are you attack who are you trying to attack
445
oh you're gonna lose your queen you're gonna lose your queen you're gonna a3 Bishop b5.
446
Bishop b1.
447
You're going to lose your queen.
448
Oh, you're going to lose your queen.
449
You're going to lose your queen.
450
Okay, you're not going to lose your queen anymore.
451
A move ago, you might have lost your queen.
452
Yeah, now it's manageable.
453
But I think you're going to lose something.
454
A4.
455
Oh, this is just so...
456
Oh, now you're pinned.
457
The bishop gone is actually a very welcome sight.
458
But it's still better for white.
459
Because the knight is so much better than the bishop.
460
Unless you hang your rook.
461
yeah unless you hang your rook
462
and you were i mean knight p5 was just knight okay good defense good defense better offense
463
but not actually in this case rook c8 oh they're untangling oh check check queen c4 and apparently queen f1 was winning
464
i like this wow look at this unstoppable force meets an immovable object Queen B...
465
Oh, that's nice.
466
Apparently...
467
Oh, you had
468
Queen B5 and Knight D6.
469
That's very difficult.
470
Oh, my God.
471
Wow.
472
Queen E4 looking for the...
473
Oh, that's it.
474
Now Black's winning.
475
White just resigned?
476
White resigned here?
477
Okay.
478
Um...
479
Very decent opening?
480
Very decent opening.
481
Like...
482
But knight b5, and, I mean, just some really boneheaded decisions here.
483
Like, knight b5 is crazy.
484
You cannot allow that. But black was good.
485
I mean, black got into a very stupid situation and then just defended, you know, unpinning, bringing the second rook.
486
Like, you know, you have to understand, the best move for black in this position is to bring the second rook.
487
This is wrong because technically you're, like, losing pawns here, but...
488
And then just, you know, being cerebral, just defending the right way and everything.
489
That was a decent game of chess.
490
That was a really decent...
491
I mean, but still, like, how low -rated do you have to be to allow knight b5?
492
Because black could have easily lost this game a hundred times.
493
Queen a6 back, right?
494
Bringing the queen backwards.
495
bringing the knight backwards playing this bringing the rook man like a lot of decent like bishop there
496
but i have to think was any of this that complicated right was any of this
497
really that complicated queen before you know trying to trade the queen it was all very kind of close combat that.
498
Then when in doubt, you just started shoving all of your pawns forward.
499
I mean, was this brilliant or an accident?
500
Brilliant or an accident?
501
I'm going to say like, I'm going to go, I'm going to say 17 -1800.
502
I'm going to say 17 -1800. But allowing knight b5.
503
Which is it?
504
Would a 17 -1800 allow knight b5?
505
Would a 17 -1800 survive that long?
506
1350, final answer.
507
1350, am I right?
508
2200 versus 2191.
509
No. Blitz.
510
Not even bullet.
511
No. No. No. Oh, no. No,
512
no, no.
513
oh god i oh oh god i thought i mean i really thought 17 1800
514
but i just didn't think i just didn't think that that 21 oh god oh i okay okay no problem no problem
515
it happens you know it happens to the best of us i mean just look at me
516
What did Chess .com think?
517
Chess .com, I think, has been programmed to not insult the players.
518
I think Chess .com is going to say, like, an 1800 game.
519
I don't think
520
Chess .com is going to say any lower than that.
521
Okay.
522
In my defense, that was my guess.
523
I said 17 -1800.
524
Yeah, Chess .com thought, you know, I mean, Chess .com still thought black played better than white, but, oh, man.
525
yeah like the level it was very difficult you know and
526
and the reason look the reason hikaru and magnus are
527
so much better than everybody particularly at speed chess is their ability to defend
528
and not lose and i
529
and i really felt like black's ability in this game to defend
530
and not lose was very high which is why i was saying 17
531
so i gotta trust myself because i started saying 17 1800
532
and then you guys in the chat
533
and i already made a really bad guess you guys in the chat start going no it's not you idiot
534
and then you know i'm like well maybe they're right you
535
No, maybe it's a 1350 game.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
