wow you took some things seriously, Dina was concentrating on trash talk which is part of chess game and part of entertainment for your ass to watch which you seem not to appreciate it at all. Secondly if this was an official match she has grand chances to win against this guy which they have a very close rating. The whole video is a prank against Dina and she still uploaded it for OUR entertainment. You should apologize to this grandmaster and show the respect she deserves.

[@beastmasterbg]

@TSMsroha Zhenya 1500 is the normal start of every new player in chess usually most people in online chess. Depending on your wins or losses you gain more points or lose more points. So from 1500 to get to 2400 you need to learn a lot and win a lot and have 1000+ games usually.

She didn't think she could dominate based on rating. She assumed what we all assumed. She believed that he was better than 1500 but couldn't be close to her ability. Another mistake is she knew he was probably lying but like most people in these situations, thought he was lying only a little bit. He was lying about EVERYTHING. 😆 This video is a good demonstration of human behavior.

I'm not a strong player, but I believe I can recognize strong chess player just by the way he grabs his pieces and how quickly he presses the clock after move.

I aslo do not think she underestimated her opponent. And if she did, she'd be right to. Ratings say a lot about a player. You dont typically expect a 1500 elo player to turn out a GM so you adjust your playstyle accordingly. This is a strategy done in all online games basically. If your opponent is bad, you dont play like you'd with good people in order to not lose because they cant see baits or other tactics, so you look for quicker ways to finish it all.

You can basically tell by the way he picked up and moved 1.d4 that he was stronger than 1500. If a WGM doesn't have a winning position by the end of the opening, thet are playing someone with skills. If that person is chatting away like it's nothing, they are strong.
