ELO SWAP EPISODE 3!!!!

[@Exactify44]

Levy take notes from Lucy's stare. Concentrated without breaking for a solid 28 seconds. 14/10

[@champx5]

i really appreciate the fact that there is some relation between the length of the stare and the rating lol

[@eX1st4132]

id argue it counts as 45 or so because she did not break eye contact

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Judging by the math here, if 28 seconds of concentrated uninterrupted staring gave a rating of 14/10 or 1.4, divide 28 by 1.4 and you get 20 seconds for a 10/10 stare. Lucy did more than perfect.

@@poisonedbanana what? lol, Levy is so average considering top level chess

[@TheHadMatters]

​@@JacobsKrąnųg You're not wrong, but it's still going to take a few games for Levy to end up in a position It's definitely a concept that would work, but it's not as reliable content, since if Levy messes up, Hikaru probably can't save it against a 2500, and if Levy doesn't mess up badly enough, many of Levy's games would probably end in a draw even after Hikaru takes over.

Your lovely wife just taught me something. A trade is usually for something else, whereas in chess, it usually means a piece identical to that traded. Which is hardly a trade but more of a swap.

Then she didn't and I was sad, then you swapped in and immediately did it! This was a fun and satisfying video. She had a solid early game in the first match.
