As someone who’s around 500 ELO, I feel like the talent pool is all over the place. Some people play like 200, some play like 1000. To say “there no chance a 500 sees this” feels a bit unfair, I’ve seen moves like these made on both ends fairly commonly.

I agree. 5-600 range in bullet, in particular, is far west. People don't do "normal" openings: they apply tricks and traps. Levy was lucky in finding the total newbie. As a 1.2k ELO in rapid, I had to struggle a lot (and to learn some "safe" openings) to reach at least 700, where matches start to become "normal".

Gotham, an fun idea might be for you to do this and score yourself for how close to your target elo you can get, a kind of reverse guess the elo for you
@@ChaZ-cp6qw Nah, I get some incompetent players too. So basically what I think is that it takes a lot of matches to get higher elo and probably a lot of players at 500 are actually higher and either don't play dozens of games everyday, or smurf.

It's so strange- being a player around 500 elo, to watch this and see all these mistakes, but when playing, it genuinely feels like my opponents, and myself to an extent, are playing at a much higher level than this. I guess that's the difference between playing and watching.

This was really exciting to watch! I hope that the opponents find this video to review their performances against you. I would like to see other ELO levels - 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2000. I think that analysis of games at these levels would be really instructive, as well as entertaining!
remember what levy just said 0:08 , "what better way than not going out looking any history, not eating tasty food, not interacting with the locals " dude that what being hostage looks like.
Through hard work, I made it up to 500 ELO chess, then I took two weeks off and slowly sagged down to 450. Maybe it's just me, but I see A LOT of early wayward queen attacks in this ELO range. Like every third game. To the point where it's just, "Ok, bring out the knight, queen takes open pawn, block check with bishop, bring other knight out to put pressure on queen or control center of board."
You asked people at 100 Elo if they watch Gotham chess? Do you honestly think there is anyone out there who could watch your content and STILL be that bad?
I think an unexpected pawn move can be meta in 500 bullet to try to remove time from the opponant but it is mostly trying to be faster moving your pieces.
