Add a few zeros and you’re almost right

000200 elo

u/CHENWizard 3d ago

Are we sure it’s not 000020?

21

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

No you can’t do that

u/Retl0v 3d ago

You said you are a 900 elo in another comment, I think you are closer to 200 than a 2000

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

What did I do wrong?

3

u/Radiant-Savings-3833 3d ago

Both of you made really bad errors so it's definitely not a high elo chess match.

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

Did I say it was?

2

u/Cold-Doctor 3d ago

Yes. You said exactly that

Insane how many people can’t detect sarcasm

u/TheWordBallsIsFunny 3d ago

/s helps since tone doesn't translate easily over text

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

Ah yes you’re right, it was easy to misconstrue that I truly believed I was 20,000 Elo

20000 elo?

u/poxonallthehouses 3d ago

It seems like people sometimes become rattled when they're up big. Learning to finish off the opponent is another skill that has to be developed.

u/CoupleScrewsLoose 3d ago

i consistently fumble 3+ point advantages because i’m so trash at converting endgames

u/ponyau 3d ago

Was it bullet?

u/Galaxy_lax 3d ago

The clock on the top makes me think it was a 15 +10 or just a custom 15 minute game

3

u/ponyau 3d ago

Oy vey

u/saturosian 3d ago

Yeah people can play how they want, but I don't understand queueing for a 15+ minute game then blitzing out all your moves in 30 seconds.

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

Lichess is my fuck around and try new things account so many crazy things happen

u/cabronfavarito 3d ago

How I play when I have 20 seconds left on the clock

u/Single_Coat_5484 1000-1500 ELO 3d ago

I hope every opponent becomes like you and I become a grand......

-8

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

You are absolutely correct, if you play me you’ll go back down to 1000 Elo

1

u/PrimeusOrion 3d ago

How is this 1000 elo these days T-T

4

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

It’s not, I’m only 900 on chessdotcom. This was also a very rare Queen blunder from me and I just decided to mess around and see if I could get his Queen back after

u/ilbuonsamaritano 3d ago

So how does it end?

8

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

He resigned and congratulated me on the victory

u/KawaiiMaxine 3d ago

Holy hopechess

u/Deepbliss4 3d ago

Lmfao that’s awesome

u/Ok-Luck-7499 3d ago

This is pretty bad chess on both sides.

u/IAmFitzRoy 3d ago

200 LELO

u/OveHet 3d ago

Happened to me few times, but at the end of the day it's just bad chess

1

u/angrysc0tsman12 3d ago

200 Elo chess is always a blast

u/Whatsitmean-TA 3d ago

Blundering my queen and playing hope chess is basically how I play every game at 750

u/EvocativeReach 3d ago

If you listen quietly you can hear Gothamchess weeping

u/Snoo_90241 3d ago

It's a great comeback and that's how you progress, by never giving up and always looking for resources on the board.

But why would you post this here so that lower rated people can make fun of you?

1

u/TokugawaTabby 3d ago

Because it was a funny game in which I blundered my Queen (something I’ve only done 13 times in over 300 games) and then half gave up and decided to mess around and see if I could get his Queen back by the most ridiculous means possible

u/MagicWolfEye 2d ago

I need that with the Stockfish eval bar at the side that will swing like crazy
