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.

“And it’s sponsored by… ‘kay! So white begins the game with e4! Gotham deserves a sponsor for all the hard work and consistency there is in his content.
I hadn't really thought about it until recently, but Guess the ELO really is my favorite series on youtube. It's just so funny, entertaining, and helpful to my own chess. Thank you very much Levy!
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.
Lmaoooo this Is so wholesome 24:25 “All right keep your last pawn and take the rest of the pawns” **blunders the knight 😐😐😐 jajajajaja i felt like i was watching myself play come up with some great moves and miss mates and blunder pieces
problem with the traxler is that black actually rarely DOES know what to do after Qe7! So I'm actually 2/3 times quite comfortable playing against the traxler....as long as you know the lines a few moves more than they do, you're golden
16:12 being Italian and seeing “prosciuttodikarma” as last donator makes me actually proud of my country 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
3:29 Your humor never ceases to amaze me 17:55 This game is so me. 3 discovered attacks, 5 blunders, 2 brilliant maneouvres. But this guybdoes it better
Today I found out I lost a very close friend to cancer a few days ago, and I’ve just been feeling down all day, even watching the new Spider-Man movie didn’t help but for some reason this episode helped me a lot to cheer me up thank you levy
isnt it nice to see people react according to levy's reaction. everyone was like "who asked" before levy said "thats the most wholesome thing" hypocrites or dumb people? maybe both?
I do have to give it to him, and I'm not just bullshitting. No one makes a chess game more entertaining than Levy. 3:04 made me spit out my fruit loops, dribble down my chin and just fucking lose it. I haven't laughed that hard in a week.
I feel like the Englund Gambit Declined stuff is a huge tell of 1100-1300 games in general. High enough that one player has learned a tricky opening and the other has learned to recognize "This is some weird tricky shit that I do not want to deal with".
getting a special guest on guess the elo would be great. Magnus is probably a no... but I'm sure one of the other top level content creators would come on.
Hey man, I got into chess 2 months ago, your videos have been super entertaining, the guides to openings also. Just wanted to say thanks, and youre very entertaining to listen to!
At my peak a few weeks ago I got to around 850. It honestly must be hard to guess the rating for players under 1200. I found that I'm really weak at openings. Classical player here who just played with my grandparents growing up and recently got into. I'm studying openings and hoping to hit 1k by end of 2023. Thank you for all your content Gotham!
I just started watching Levy and now I'm dying to know what he think of my recent games a fairly new guy at chess, cause man this is just hilarious not because I understand it but because it's Levy genuinely having and making fun of people.
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
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

Great tactic.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Same lol
I always hear Gotham say “now that’s just a counting problem” before I even consider taking/pushing a pawn
Right, I always hear Gotham narrating my moves while I play.
I love how he went from utter disappointment to just so much energy after the en passant mate
To depressed after seeing the rating
the chess community collectively had an orgasm seeing that
2 days of Guess the ELO in a row? That’s one good Christmas present
ikr
Gotham being the gracious man that he is.
I have Christmas in two weeks, but ok

That first en passant checkmate hit you in that really twisted spot, didn’t it Levy?
Ngl it hit different 🥰🥰🥰
Anarchy chess is proud
Pure euphoria.
The highlight of my career
I came
"Does he know the bishop moves that far?" It's a long way from b7 to h1.
bad players (like myself) don't tend to see a move like that because it's so far away. I would simply not notice a bishop line like that
its a long way bro u cant expect me to see that lol
@@coolerammo724 SAM!
I was playing vs a friend today and my bishop went from h8 to take his rook in a1 lol
Was a long journey, props to that bishop

Seriously?
Where did you hear that?
Who don't
That's weird
Stop lying
"Same level for 25 years? just like the new york knicks"

i almost came back to make the exact same comment again upon rewatching this video lol
this comment is still just that stupid
Several people also typed Ukraine in chat
I didn't even realize this video was posted before the Ukraine War until I saw this comment. What country was he talking about?

It's a big day. Levy just got sponsored by Fricken Potassium.
Lmaoo
High tier humor
The missed mate with a knight in game two was also a fork of king and queen, the dude with the white pieces could’ve accidentally checkmated there lol
Lmaoooo this Is so wholesome 24:25
“All right keep your last pawn and take the rest of the pawns”
**blunders the knight

17:55 This game is so me. 3 discovered attacks, 5 blunders, 2 brilliant maneouvres. But this guybdoes it better
These games feels like players are just edging us by creating brilliant opportunities and then not capitalizing on them what so ever.
"You're allowed to be super trash. You're not allowed to fake games." Truth!
4:30 it’ll be 2103 and En Passant Checkmate will still be funny
En passant mate reaction is gold
Some still believe that Levy's pitch at the end of this video is still rising to this day.
ok
16:39 all pieces on the back rank like the pieces of Exodia! I'M CRYING!!!
Two Guess the Elo in two days both amazing👍
Yea, Christmas present for us by Gotham Chess.
Today I found out I lost a very close friend to cancer a few days ago, and I’ve just been feeling down all day, even watching the new Spider-Man movie didn’t help but for some reason this episode helped me a lot to cheer me up thank you levy
Huge shoutout to K, they seriously have the best products and I can't thank them enough
5:40, Gotham attempting to sing "Davé Davé"🤣🤣
ah yes my favourite song, dave dave
23:37 (ish): Botez Invitation Declined: Botez Gambit Variation
31:23 turn on CC, his dude registers as music... gotham is an amazing singer man.
isnt it nice to see people react according to levy's reaction. everyone was like "who asked" before levy said "thats the most wholesome thing" hypocrites or dumb people? maybe both?
It's an average twitch user
Every twitch chat:
there is micro plastics in my balls
Everyone? I only saw one person say that.
Gotham: "now you stalemate cause you op"
30 sec later: Stalemate happaned 🤣
Leviathan Rozman thank you for the back to back GTE they’re so funny!
I do have to give it to him, and I'm not just bullshitting. No one makes a chess game more entertaining than Levy. 3:04 made me spit out my fruit loops, dribble down my chin and just fucking lose it. I haven't laughed that hard in a week.
2 guess the elo's in a row wow
That knight from game 1 was basicly like McClane in die hard 2 at the beginning
Forshadowing: i think tommorrow(4th feb) will be a guess the elo episode cuz it would have been a full year since this series started
It failed :(
This is one of the best guess the elo episodes!
24:43 noob gofham didn't call out his sub for not playing Rg5, what happens next is shocking
I hope Levy never stops this series. Every episode has made me laugh even on some of my worse days. Levy if you see this, thank you.
The holy hell spam at 4:40 is beautiful
I feel like the Englund Gambit Declined stuff is a huge tell of 1100-1300 games in general. High enough that one player has learned a tricky opening and the other has learned to recognize "This is some weird tricky shit that I do not want to deal with".
Same thing with my opponent going h6 against me playing an Italian. I just get a free tempo
Petition:
Levy should make a guess the ELO with Magnus Carlsen!
getting a special guest on guess the elo would be great. Magnus is probably a no... but I'm sure one of the other top level content creators would come on.
@@descendency aka hikaru
Magnus is too much of enigma to come on guess the elo
Eric rosen
17:06 That rook tease was Brilliancy 🤣
Damn Gotham being sponsored by Kay Jewelers is a big step up! Super proud for my mans
11:30 he picked the option where you start at 1200 (intermediate I think) and that was his first game.
Source: I did that
Guess The Elo is the gift that keeps on giving.
Really well done for getting K to sponsor you man!
The second game is an inspiration as to how awful you can be at chess is so fun because you can submit your game to Levy and laugh at his reaction
Hey man, I got into chess 2 months ago, your videos have been super entertaining, the guides to openings also. Just wanted to say thanks, and youre very entertaining to listen to!
@ 6:46 : I died here.
This has got to be one of my favorite episodes of guess the ELO yet
My favorite is the “ I want to vomut” just because of thw last game😂😂
Actually your french comments were kind of spot on! These french classes with Lucy start to pay off, well done mate!
12:02 you know it's a ridiculous episode when Gotham just straight up drops the f bomb uncensored. Also that en passant checkmate was storybook.
every time i see an episode, i live in constant fear of being the random noob in one of those few trash games i played when i was 200
That second to last game (#4) made my entire day thank you Gotham!
Hey man!! Today I played my first chess tournament playing the vienna and hell and i am going to nationals
Thank you Levy respect bro!!
Good luck bro
Guess the Elo got me from 850 to 960 because now I keep asking "which move will Levy not roast?" when I play
😂😂
6:44-7:07 he had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Lol that satisfaction reaction at the en passant checkmate is so good. I would make that into a reaction gif if I could
10:41 aged very VERY poorly
When I sub to Levy on Twitch: *No Guess the ELO for (precisely) a month and 3 days*
When my subscriptions end: *2 Guess the ELO's in a row*
Luck.
I never laughed that hard in a while, game 2 was true content.
The rest of us idiots can give up, this guy played en passant checkmate
11:49 I scared my kids I laughed so loud
At my peak a few weeks ago I got to around 850. It honestly must be hard to guess the rating for players under 1200. I found that I'm really weak at openings. Classical player here who just played with my grandparents growing up and recently got into. I'm studying openings and hoping to hit 1k by end of 2023. Thank you for all your content Gotham!
I have a theory: people know Levy will check their friend list, so when they fake games they remove each other after they submit
Levy is the only guy that can say "Welcome to your favorite series on UA-cam" on all his series and get me to agree every time
Levy, could you bring back sub battles with hikaru and other chess streamers. Love your content, keep going strong
dude, GtE is the best thing happened to Chess for a long time, thx Gotham for some amazing content
2nd game hurt me ,and when I saw the rating i died a little inside ngl
I just started watching Levy and now I'm dying to know what he think of my recent games a fairly new guy at chess, cause man this is just hilarious not because I understand it but because it's Levy genuinely having and making fun of people.
Levis face at 11:50 till like 12:00. Its just priceless
Lol
9:00 This line has absolutely destroyed me
This was the most entertaining Guess the ELO ever. Haha. Genuinely laughed out loud
Watching Levy for 30 mins with a nice big bowl of oreo ice cream while my parents are not home! Don’t know what’s better than that.
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
“* sneeze * sorry, I’m allergic to garbage chess.” That was the greatest thing ever
I cant stop laughing at 6:40
This is where I come back to when I'm sad
4:29 r/AnarchyChess just went wild
He did the megamind laugh
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!
That pawn in the first game is looking around like “wait…where did everyone go?”
11:54 NO! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TBH that 1st mate was dope!!!
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:
