The "drive it off a cliff" metaphor is great. My (1,200ish ELO) recent blind spot I'm working to fix in my games is the: "hmm, I don't love any of my move possibilities, especially none of these three or four options I've been mulling for the last 15 seconds, I think this other move looks good" and I just play it without noticing a bishop on the other end of the board can just capture that piece -- or something similar. And then the game falls apart
Betterhelp is a terrible company that just settled for selling people’s data and using unlicensed therapists. I definitely do NOT appreciate his advertisement lol
12:56 i love when gotham turned into a horse astonished by the sacrificing of the rook and pusing the b pawn. also 13:13 Bentzema´s comment is hilarious 💀
You cannot fathom how entertaining GTE is even for a 2000 rated player. I've rewatched all of the GTE at least 5 times each, super educational and high quality, keep it up!
Listen I was at your book signing in Barnes and Nobles In New Jersey and I want to say It was a pleasure meeting you and having my book signed. Im very glad you decided to bring back Guess The Elo because your channel is amazing and I hope you can continue doing this signed necklace kid.
16:00 there are other ways to play against the Dragon besides the Yugoslav attack! Many players (World Champion Karpov among them) preferred to play classically against the dragon and castle kingside.
Levy: you’re 2000 and you don’t know how to play the opening at all! Me, who is 2000 and do not know how to play openings at all: *whistles nonchalant *
Your song at the end of the first game directly after the voice discussing high level side lines has had me laughing for over 4 hours and I need to call my doctor 😅
Finally bro, this is going to be another revived series and I hope there is many more gte episodes as the series was very entertaining, especially for myself.
The thing about intermediate and sometimes about advanced players is that they can be extremely unstable. Some part of the game can be played at the highest level, with an almost complete understanding of what is happening, and then they can just blunder a piece in one move with absolutely no reason
1:53 Game 1: What is worse? Lose a Queen in 1s or in 13s? 8:57 Game 2: That good reminder to never resign 15:40 Game 3: How to ruin Levy's day 24:44 Game 4: Bishop's opening: BOI variation

My elo is 500. I feel sometimes like that is how many brain cells I loose each move.

pls reply levy ;(
Who needs therapy when you’ve got 3|2 blitz?
The pure unfiltered fear in Levy’s eyes at 27:00 moments before checkmate is delivered is absolutely perfect
26:55 is better

I like the system of taking breaks from guess the Elo and then doing a few episodes in a couples weeks. Makes it feel like an event.
he recorded 2 episodes on monday stream
@@blaze9326how do I submit my game?
someone has to send him a game of his own for us to watch him trash talk himself for the whole game
Genius
How can I send my game to be guessed?@@The1onduty
This has been tried a few times. He's good enough to recognize when someone's playing a little too much like him
I appreciate that Levy put therapy advertisement in GUESS THE ELO. I definitely need therapy after this episode.
The problem is that the platform he is promoting is absolute scum that exploits its patients for profit. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Too bad they sell your personal information

He sacrificed... THE BRAIN CELLS!

It would be really cool to get the clock as well during the guessing part, it's hard to get a sense of how under pressure the players are otherwise.
at this point, "GUESS THE ELO IS BACK!!!" is a series on its own.
Oh man that moment at 26:58 was unreal. The play and the reaction. Fantastic and I was nearly out of my chair laughing.
And he clearly wanted to plant his face into his palm but couldn’t because if his glasses!
I'm pretty sure we all did that
GothamChess never fails to put BetterHelp in his videos (they sell your personal health information to advertisers)
That's just downright evil and probably illegal
And if it's not illegal it should be. Selling medical information is wrong in every single circumstance, period.
@@crusaderACRIt is illegal, it’s called the HIPAA acts.
They’re the worst
@@crusaderACRpersonal info =/= medical info. Cant believe you needed that explained. Also see HIPAA
Levy doesn't know basic below-1000-elo etiquette. When your opponent performs a Botez Gambit, you must perform it back.
15:51 that probably was 2 players who watched the legendary match between Karpov and korchinov and wanted to recreate the position
You mean Korchnoi?
There was a hint of joy, as if sorrow and depression was over. And also a burst of excitement in the opening stare
Levy, just picked up the book yesterday and started reading it. Wish me luck. starting today, 11-17-23 at about 850 rapid, and 750 blitz
Hows it going now?
We need an update😊

0:15 love your video so much watched almost all episodes waiting since sooooooo long❤❤❤
Warning: Don't watch levy's videos beside a sleeping person
8:05 because, clearly, it was a binding contract he had to honour.

22:11 I really felt your „Wow“
Guess the ELO is always peak entertainment. Favorite series on the internet lol
Niran would've been on this and if it wasn't for his knee injury
Waiting for that Courtois diss Freestyle now 🔥
Please continue this series it's fun to watch this ❤

usually with the bishop on e2 not d3 i believe. Bd3 is just bad because it allows Ng4
Levy is the type of guy to upload more than 50 episodes of him screaming at people much worse than him playing chess.
Levy: you’re 2000 and you don’t know how to play the opening at all!
Me, who is 2000 and do not know how to play openings at all: *whistles nonchalant *
Been watching out for the return of this series everyday.
Your song at the end of the first game directly after the voice discussing high level side lines has had me laughing for over 4 hours and I need to call my doctor 😅
Finally bro, this is going to be another revived series and I hope there is many more gte episodes as the series was very entertaining, especially for myself.
30:00 also an antitip to play Qh5 in second move so Black has to block himself when blocking with Qe7
Another episode of GTE, another panic attack avoided because my games weren't on here.
Thanks for vid Levy.
6:36 the bad moves finally broke levy's brain
Chess never fails to be included in Levy's recap
3:07 I didn't know that levy was a "minecraft guy"
Levy never fails to not fail
Shoutout to the bookstore WORD! I got my signed book from them, shipped to germany. I had such nice contact with them!
Levy never fails to bring guess the ELO back every year
"You will win with no memes" and then The silent came by...
Love how Gothamchess never fails to include Levy in his videos!
I found your channel like 2 months ago and literally binged watched all GTE and lose to chess videos. Was craving for GTE returns OMG !!!!
Keeping GTE somewhat rare and uploading only occasionally keeps the content super interesting and I am always looking forward to every episode.
And Levy sacrificed... HIS BRAIN CELLS!!!!!
He sacrifices the ELOOOOOOOOO!!!
