[@angrychickengod3831]

betting 500 dollars on guess the elo is like betting 500 dollars on a coin flip

[@jamesknapp64]

As pointed out later, *it was also a bullet game* where elo fluctuation game to game can be well over 400 points; i.e. a 1000 could easily play like a 600 one game and 1400 the next game in bullet.

29:27 They could have played Re2, attacking the pinned rook on f2, and if they play Rxe2, you take back with Nxe2, with discovered check on the king + attack on queen. The only way to not completely lose, that I could find, is Rg2, which trades their rook for a knight

[@cordomum]

no because Bxe2, or if you're talking about AFTER the queen move, the rook can't move because it's pinned to the king

[@matheusaugustodasilvasanto3171]

19:05 I think Qa4 intends to do one of these things: * If bishop blocks (as happened in the game), it prevents the bishop from fiancceto-ing and controlling the long diagonal unchallenged. It has to stay closer to the center where it's more vulnerable, or white has to spend an extra move putting it where it belongs. * If knight blocks, it's not in its natural development square c6 * If c6 blocking, it removes a natural developing square from the knight * If king moves, the opponent loses the right to castle These being said, I'm still a beginner and I'm not sure if it's a 'good' move or not. Furthermore, I'm not sure if it's theory, or if the player thought about any, or all, of these aspects when playing it.
