This Guess The Elo Made Me Cry (#37)

[@tijilparakh04]

9:50 every chess game i play, i imagine being in a guess the elo episode and think - "would gotham humiliate the shit out of me for this move?". Lowers chances of blunders way more than you'd imagine.

[@ravenwzxeh]

Great tactic.

[@kalpar990]

Hello Levy! I have been a subscriber for over a year and I wanted to thank you for your videos. I had played tournaments when I was younger, and then had to stop to play chess to study. But after I turned 18, I restarted playing, teaching myself as a hobby. I could climb to 1750-1800, and now I'm 21 and I have just hit 2000 rating points just from the studying of your videos. Thank You very very much! Maybe you don't respond to many messages, but I hope you'll read it sometime.
