    9:50 every chess game i play, i imagine being in a guess the elo episode and think - "would gotham humiliate the shit out of me for this move?". Lowers chances of blunders way more than you'd imagine.

    Hello Levy!
    I have been a subscriber for over a year and I wanted to thank you for your videos.
    I had played tournaments when I was younger, and then had to stop to play chess to study. But after I turned 18, I restarted playing, teaching myself as a hobby. I could climb to 1750-1800, and now I'm 21 and I have just hit 2000 rating points just from the studying of your videos. Thank You very very much!
    Maybe you don't respond to many messages, but I hope you'll read it sometime.

    SPOILER ALERT: for whoever is wandering about, this means “karma’s ham”. As it stands, it doesn’t make sense, but in Italian it actually sounds really close to “prosciutto di Parma” (Parma’s ham), which is a pretty famous variety of Italian ham

    I’m sure he’s clarified this before but what is the reason he doesn’t show time format? Seems like that’s a pretty major factor in evaluating elo

    I wish I could share my OTB game I played today where me and my opponent both hung our queens in the exact same sequence about 10 moves apart. It was beautiful. And I was still up the exchange so I won

    You know it's holiday season when you get 2 Guess The Elos back to back.

    I think the guy in game 2 thought that they were playing an exchange Caro and was like super proud to play the moves on your course

    Guess the ELO is the best!! "Boss, after that game they gotta pay you to take therapy..." Absolutely too much! What a Christmas. Great episode Levy - thanks again for the hard work. Enjoy your well earned vacation!

    I am a big fan and I have been seeing you grow over the years and I just think there are some things you can do to improve like the following:
    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
