Thats cause your just playing I assume. Change how you study. Change your mindset and play less blitz. 1) Do at least 5 hours of puzzles a week on lichess. On weekends, do all of the puzzles you failed until you have them all done. Write down your "areas of improvement". BANG! Now you have next weeks puzzle set! 2) Play 3 games a day, analyse your best first, then analyse your worst and compare them. Get yourself a chess computer and make a database of all your games. 2.5)when possible, play and analyse your OTB games. 3) pick 1 area of study a week. Openings, middlegame, endgame, mates, positional analysis and tactics. Work on that 30 minutes 4 times a week. MAKE NOTES. 4) Be aware of your mindset. Are you nervous, do you play scared, do you lack confidance, are you tunnel visioning, are you too careful, are you not careful enough. Are you hungry? Do you "tilt". This matters!! 4.5) Set goals for example here are a few of mine: - 1800 tactics/puzzle rating -1500 rapid rating in 6 months -1500 classic rating in 6 months 5) Actually put the work in to improve. Practice doesnt make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.

Holy cow. I'm impressed they went from so utterly low to so much higher than me in such a short period of time. That's really cool that you showed a game from someone who jumped in level so abruptly. It feels less like mockery and more like fun.

Watching this game gives me an idea: Weakest Link Chess. It's a 4v4 game, although it could be any number. Each time it's your team's move, each player secretly locks in their choice. The move used is the worst move as evaluated by an engine. So each move is the "worst" every time. It could be instructional and fun.

As a different idea, you could have a (1v1) variant where as long as there are at least two legal moves, you must submit two different candidate moves each turn, and your opponent chooses which of the two you play. Double attacks and forcing moves (or semi-forcing moves) would be really important.

I love how he’s explain each of their moves like they actually thought of them strategically and not just cluelessly 🤣

I like watching Age of Empires 2 games (another game that I don't actually play myself), and the Low Elo games in either are always the one where you can learn the most. Seeing great players make brilliant moves is something you might be able to understand as a new player, but it's not something you could actually pull off yourself.

This is the first video in almost a decade which I actually laughed out loud so hard especially after that Qxa5🤣

This is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever watched my entire life

"and here the players repeated moves... Just kidding they aren't super grandmasters" Levy don't lie to us.

“Like Jinzo… no trap cards.” lmaoo didnt know you were a yu-gi-oh type of guy

I love how Levy goes into a maximum level analysis on a 200 elo player’s first move, even though it was more than likely a mouse slip

I love how the eval bar drops back and forth between the top and the bottom

13:44 "OMG Theres a rook over there! Thats so sick!" haha xD

The eval bar could honestly be a heart beat monitor on the most scary roller coaster of their life.

13:40 I laughed way too hard at this shit

was about to beat an 800 for the first time, didn't realize there was a repetition rule....

19:02 chess ratings are based on a exponential system where a player 400 points above another is 10 times more likely to win. So 600 points of improvement means you are 31 times stronger (10sqrt(10)). Just wanted to point that out as a curiosity

That other guy totally misled you. Elo is, in fact, a logarithmic scale (like the Richter scale, or decibels). It's called such because it's proportional to the logarithm. Sorta. In truth, "a player 400 points above another is 10 times more likely to win" doesn't actually mean that there's some factor for the player 400 points above which is 10 times the size of the lower player's. After all, it's not like saying the higher-rated player is 10 times more likely to win against a specific opponent than the lower one; Elo is designed only to give any sort of predictive power for individual matchups, so the predictive capacity when comparing different matchups diminishes. If anything, what this suggests is that Elo... is linear. A difference of a fixed amount of Elo equates to a fixed difference in skill, because the probability that one person beats another is predicted by the difference in their skill levels. tl;dr Davi, you were right to call it logarithmic, or at least you would be if either of you were right about probabilities. And the other guy doesn't know what a logarithmic scale is.

@@Pablo360able Nah I know what a logarithmic scale is but because I had the premisconception that chess ratings were about percentiles that people were likely in and their standing, I hadn't realized he was talking about not just a log function to randomly compare people wrt each other but a scale. So I took the log of the ratings he exemplified instead and then was puzzled with how small x had to be. Yeah my bad for the chess ignorance as I had no idea these rating systems were built to compare two players' skills in terms of the number of likely wins for a given number of playing.

@@korkunctheterrible4302 ur are right but ur logarithms need some work i can't help but get drowned in the eternal chaos of overcomplicating things man u just do log(difference between elos) than doing log(x+400)/logx which is NOT equal to 10.

I can't believe that I've never heard of the Queen-King endgame referred to as "maintaining the knight's distance" before. You actually managed a teaching moment in a 200 ELO game.

fascinating how both playersoverlooked ALL the opportunities through the entire game, just randomly moving pieces around

This is so incredibly funny as well as wholesome :) keep this up levy!!

This needs to be a series! I cannot get enough of this, it's also inspiring to see the progress with players so I think it's a win win

I'm actually impressed someone managed to get all the way down to 202, I imagine that wouldn't happen very often.

@@maxkho00 ? It is definitely much harder to get from 1750 to 2200, than 1750 from 200. 1750 is in intermediate levels, 2200 is in master levels. Could literally take years for some people to get there, even at 1750.
