10:58 As a low elo person myself, I believe they were trying to threaten the black Queen with a bishop, but they realised it would just be hanging a bishop, so they played Qb3 to protect that bishop, but in a tragic case of tunnel vision forgot they were now hanging a queen

That would still hang a piece because the knight goes backwards

Honestly same 😂😂😂😂😂

[@isavenewspapers8890]

17:20 It actually makes sense for a novice to be able to find a smothered mate if they recognize the pattern after having been constantly bombarded by it in online chess communities.

[@dvxv4016]

i think he just forgot about the rook and thought Qg8 was mate, but then black took with a rook, so he found mate in 1 after that

[@isavenewspapers8890]

@@dvxv4016 So White executed the exact Philidor's smothered mate pattern, forgot about the rook 1 square away from g8, stumbled into a mate by pure chance, and then decided to share how lucky they got with the Guess the Elo community. Okay.

[@isavenewspapers8890]

@@dvxv4016 I feel kinda bad for being snarky, but at the same time, it is genuinely insulting how lowly you apparently think of White's chess-playing abilities.

[@anshumanpandey8547]

@@dvxv4016 the only way to avoid the mate is to exchange the rook for the knight and the queen ends up on f7 with a back rank threat that u have to defend. The mate is not inevitable but white has a decisive advantage at this point. So I dont think they stumbled on the mate. He also notices the knight pin before castles and plays Ne5 to setup the tactic. It looks he has some good board vision and probably solves puzzles. Sad thing is that white is still 877 rated and still play like this after 2600 rapid games. so no improvement.

5:25 if you hit a homerun it is possible to still be called out if you don't touch one of the bases while rounding them or if pass another runner on the basepath. That would mean that the game is still live while rounding the bases, therefore you would theoretically be allowed to stay on 1st 2nd or 3rd base if you wanted to

In that first game, I don't think white even knew that he could take the queen. He probably thought he was mated, then realised there was no notification, and just started trying to move pieces until he hit the only legal move :D
