500 elo in Gothamchess videos:💀🧑‍🦯🤡 500 elo in my game:🧠💪😎

as a 50 elo player i never knew somebody could be this good

I love the romance between the two queens, staring each other down from across the battlefield, unwilling to kill each other despite it being strategically optimal

Move 1: Caro kann Move 2: Caro kan't

I always laugh at low ELO moves and then do the exact same thing in my own games 😂

“You just traded off a knight for 3 potatoes at the local supermarket” Jack who traded a cow for a beanstalk: so?

500 elo chess in GothamChess videos: *championship of blunders * 500 elo chess in real: opponent mated me in 8

Two grandmasters playing a game at a level so incredibly high that there is absolutely no way for us normies to even begin to be able to deduce the skills and techniques at display here. Truly a match for the ages.

As a 650 Elo player I wish my opponents were this bad 😢

These two players are a demonstration of never let them know your next move.

I'm not even joking, but I couldn't finish this video last weekend because I almost died of laughing. I barely made but what an amazing match was this!

The explanation of 90% of these moves is very simple: The players just don't analyse the whole position. Most 500 players look for a move they think is okay, and just play that move without considering other options. When checking if a move is "okay", they often just look to see if their opponent can capture the piece they moved. If they didn't see a good move or a threat the first time, they won't even look for it on subsequent moves until something brings their attention back to that idea. To be fair, analysing all the available moves is pretty difficult and even much higher rated players will often miss key ideas for the same reason. It's just most common at this lower ELO. Also I suspect that black genuinely thought the white pawn on h4 guarded the knight on g3 (as if it moved like a black pawn). Probably just forgot that white has the opposite perspective so their pawns guard the other way.

I predicted Black's exact move at 20:08, and then I realised what that says about myself

The title truly sent shivers through my spine. It was clearly thought through and the precise number of A’s and H’s was truly breathtaking. The exclamation marks send lightning bolts through my heart at how elegantly crafted they were. Truly a godly 10/10 Edit: Levi, stop changing the title every 3 minutes, I can’t update this comment anymore

It's one thing to make some beginner blunders. This was like a reverse chess puzzle where you try to find the worst moves.

I lost brain cells trying to understand these moves, the two sensational gentlemen made me feel like Magnus

21:05 that one I can explain. He thought his bishop was unguarded so he moved it up so it was 'protected' by the queen.

No matter how drunk you get Gotham… we’ll always be at your side to take you to rehab
