in grade school i played in a chess tournament for blue team, not knowing how to play chess at all, and apparently my first opponent didn't know how to play either, there were takes of pawns using bishops left and right, queen was sacrificed without question and without goal, and i somehow made it without losing all the way to a king-queen endgame i was black and didn't have a queen, but they didn't know how to checkmate with king and queen either, so the head librarian said "no takes in 50 moves, it's a draw" it felt so intense but it also looked exactly like the endgame in this video lmao and lmao i just remember playing french defense not knowing wtf a defense is, oh my god

Lots of times they simply agree on a draw I was like: "What? Why aren't you playing? There's a lot of pieces on the boardffs!" And the narration was awesome and thrilled me. The only thing that sets me apart from those 400s is that I know how to check with queen and king. But I'm pretty sure both of them could beat me eventually.

Seriously though this video was educational, entertaining, and relatable! Your insight on the amateur chess player mindset made this video hilarious and I hope you do more of these

I didn’t even know the 50-move rule existed. This is beautiful

Jokes aside this is super encouraging ply for two 400’s. They did show some decent knowledge of intermediate principals. If they stick with it, I won’t be shocked if they’re 1000+ in a year.

Yeah, it can happen. I started playing chess in March and I was around 500 ELO, but now I am 950 and still climbing.

Absolutely loved the passion and commentary for this game. Surprises at every corner. You have to do more videos like these!! Imfao

[@danieljohnson270]

These are my favorite videos of all time. Funny thing is: I found myself thinking at a lot of points, "hey they are playing ok!"

[@lorefox201]

because they are, relative to their elo.

It's like that episode of Get Smart where both Maxwell and Seigfried get hit by tranquilizer darts, and have a pathetic fight where they're both weak and slow and about to pass out but everyone is cheering them on.

Q: how do you get to a 400 ELO without knowing how to win a Queen & King vs King end game? A: play other 400 rated people

[@draganandrei5356]

Honestly, a large number of lower rated players don't know the basic checkmates

in my family the 50 move rule is actually a 15 move rule *so the pressure is high on me to win*

Mate in one is a perfect opportunity for a Zwischenzug move

I like this one. He explains a lot of moves and can still make fun but in supporting ways rather than other times wher it feels more like bashing
