Zen Mode. Wild Gambits. Guess The Elo.

Ойындар

In this video, I activate ZEN MODE on lichess.org which hides my opponents' ratings and usernames. I then join the Hourly Blitz Arena and try to guess the Elo of each opponent while playing fun, tricky, and ultra-aggressive gambits. Timestamps below (including rating spoilers)
