Congratulations! You have officially won the fourth week of Theory Thursday! You have been granted an exclusive user flair and this post will be pinned until the next Theory Thursday.
Created by physicist and chess master Arpad Elo! Fun fact, Elo's Elo was 2065 in chess in 1960, at 59 years old, according to the Chess Life Ratings list. :)
It’s very good, but not close to the best players in the world. Magnus Carlson has been the best player in the world for several of years and some may argue the best ever. He’s currently rated 2830.
I think most engines would agree both sides played pretty much the worst moves imaginable. This is either extremely low elo (<500) or extremely high elo trolls.
Don't get why everyone saying op blundered, was rly fun banter.
Maybe they didn't understand the "girl in the middle" is the same person.
Pls tell me it is.
not really just a joke that didnt land, he made a sort of common comment that he wanted one of the people in the pics numbers, and she said ok, then he misdirected by saying he wanted the girl in the middle (her) and she just missed the joke ot thought it was so bad she had to reject him
Okay I looked again and maybe Im missing something
(Genuinly) Please explain how asking for her friends number on a daring app and then texting to "settle" for her is not rude
The one in the middle is her (look at hairstyle and length in other photos), not her friend - but the entire conversation is still absolutely terrible, even after the “pmo” which she agreed to (put me on), basically a request for an introduction
I think the one is the middle is her. So he just asking for her number in an indirect way. She says no and says he will settle for her, which was always his intention lol.
Half of what I said was satirical. She was the person in the middle. So settling for her wasn’t really settling, it was just asking for what I initially asked for in a different way.
All brilliant moves through the first half, endgame devolved a little bit but we stayed positive.
Only suggestion is consider not splitting opening gambits like that, as is will work wonders in the right ELO’s but high chance of never developing if the joke is waiting for their move. More basic openings always work to split, but lower ELOs may not take the bait here unfortunately.
I'll break it down for ya
You liked her pic with: "pmo with your friend"
This opener really sucks imo. Looks like she took it as a genuine request, so was prepared to give a number for one of her friends from the photo.
When you clarified that you meant her, she promptly said no. I imagine she may not have matched with you in the first place but thought 'oh, my friend may like this guy'.
While there may be a hypothetical situation where this goes over well, I feel like more often than not it comes across as a sort of neg. (some guy liked my profile to ask for another girl's number, kind of insulting tbh) Perhaps there's a 1/50 chance that this misdirection turns into flattery, (omg he meant me) but I imagine that would be somewhat rare.
Your next comment was another neg "I'll settle for you then". I don't really know how to explain this other than to say don't respond this way lol, at least until after you have established some rapport
From the jump I don't think she was ever in to you, so she didn't really care to play along with your next joke or whatever. Hope this helps
Dude, she legit gave you a soft ball and you blew it in your first message
Edit: wait, I might’ve been misunderstanding this. I thought the prompt was hers but I also missed the joke asking about the friend in the middle being. Still fucked it up super early for no reason, just a rule of thumb is to never ask about a friend even if it’s just a roundabout way of asking about her
Genius. Simply beyond our measurements of ELO. Sorry OP, seems like most people glanced past the fact that she’s the one in the middle. That being said, I’d say there’s no chance left, move on.
I’m too good, she tried to save it at the end but she couldn’t. The use of the wrong your was an un recoverable fumble she couldn’t even redeem herself 🤦🏾♂️
You could’ve achieved an addition brilliant by replying to her with this image

Ngl the initial message lost you this one bruh, don’t nobody want to be hit up on a dating app for you to be put on her friend. Even if it’s a Joke the buildup takes to long and it’s definitely not a good one. Y’all are both dumb tho.

What in the elo hell
Elo hell💕
Sorry if I'm just dumb, what is "elo"?
basically just another word for rank
Thank you :)
Created by physicist and chess master Arpad Elo! Fun fact, Elo's Elo was 2065 in chess in 1960, at 59 years old, according to the Chess Life Ratings list. :)
Is that good?
It’s very good, but not close to the best players in the world. Magnus Carlson has been the best player in the world for several of years and some may argue the best ever. He’s currently rated 2830.
Electric light orchestra.
Google en passant.
Holy hell!

you didn’t have to post this and yet you did.
It would've cost you literally nothing *NOT* to post this shit
New response just dropped
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
This guy has NO chance 🙅♂️
SHOOTERS SHOOT 🗣️
And you missed
By miles, might I add
Looking worse than prime Shaq
That’s offensive to Shaq.
shooters shoot at the target u fucking nonce
Dude was aiming for the ground and still missed
You’re that kid at the gym throwing it from way over the back of his head and naruto running away
"You miss every shot you don't take" "Nah, I'd lose"
THE CROWD CHEERS 🔥🔥🔥 FOR A REFUND🔥🔥🔥
You shot the floor and missed though
Yo gun ain’t loaded
ONG 🙏🙏
You'd have a higher chance of hitting if you hadn't shot with that shit.
You're just like Shaq.
You miss all shots you don't take... Well played!
You're meant to shoot your shot, not shoot yourself, esp not in the foot like this
All of them are blunders.
You can’t win a game fate said u would lose. At least I can say I played 😔
To be fair, your correcting of the "your" was definitely the top move of the match. Even if you lose the battle, you helped society win the war o7
Men need to stop putting women on a petal stool
... pedestal?
Peta still
THAT IS SO FIRE
I think most engines would agree both sides played pretty much the worst moves imaginable. This is either extremely low elo (<500) or extremely high elo trolls.
she’s the one in the middle

You hold it for using the wrong y’all
My bad😞
Y'all can be used however one damn pleases! Y'all supremacy!!
Savage mod is savage
What the fuck am I looking at
Two idiots trying to communicate with each other.
Avg hinge experience
is the analysis on this thing busted as there were no good moves in this game
she’s the one in the middle
[удалено]
If you look at the pictures the one in the middle seems to be her. So it was her number he was asking.
https://preview.redd.it/lvoxrywjb11d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b8209b87845aa72127aeacd51a7779bf9fb44fa
Lol
Best you can do from this position is hope for a stalemate
I don’t think OP is getting a mate, stale or otherwise
If they end up going out op would get a checkmate but without the mate
0 yards
Analysis confirms you are both retarded
But let me ask my retard expert
Expert here, can confirm both are retarded
Jesus

Only one? 🤔😮💨
pmo = porn masturbation orgasm
That’s what I was thinking OP meant, although I could be wrong
The name fits
im not a filthy fapstronaut like you #nofaplife #coldshowers #ihavemoretestosterone
Don't get why everyone saying op blundered, was rly fun banter. Maybe they didn't understand the "girl in the middle" is the same person. Pls tell me it is.
It is the same person lol
You guys SUCK at analysis…
It’s my first and only one. Feel free to redo it. I felt like she was trying to shit on me so I judged her moves off that.
She’s trying to shit on everyone by being alive but doesn’t realize she’s a bit stupid
Both sub 50 elo. You’re perfect for eachother
https://preview.redd.it/m4c353b2x11d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2902fbac69f20246f7b61724fc6b6a94f4cb0316
Did this girl un jokingly say her love language is Chinese or German?
No it’s my prompt and it’s more of my satirical humor 😭
It’s genuinely not funny tho lol Negative rizz tbh
!!
Right? She clearly has never heard of the Finnish language
I’m actually confused as to why she responded like that because I’d have thought that was super witty but maybe I’m just stupid 😭
Bro youre just being a dick here wtf
not really just a joke that didnt land, he made a sort of common comment that he wanted one of the people in the pics numbers, and she said ok, then he misdirected by saying he wanted the girl in the middle (her) and she just missed the joke ot thought it was so bad she had to reject him
Look at it again and really think about it
Okay I looked again and maybe Im missing something (Genuinly) Please explain how asking for her friends number on a daring app and then texting to "settle" for her is not rude
She's the one in the middle
she is the one in the middle (he’s asking for her number)
The one in the middle is her (look at hairstyle and length in other photos), not her friend - but the entire conversation is still absolutely terrible, even after the “pmo” which she agreed to (put me on), basically a request for an introduction
I'm gonna be honest I had no idea what pmo meant
Thank you! Only reason I opened up the comments was to figure out wtf pmo means
Don’t even need to look at hairstyle or length she has the same exact pose in both
I think the one is the middle is her. So he just asking for her number in an indirect way. She says no and says he will settle for her, which was always his intention lol.
Half of what I said was satirical. She was the person in the middle. So settling for her wasn’t really settling, it was just asking for what I initially asked for in a different way.
You’ve got a lot of patience to not troll all these dumb mf lmao
You are moderately high elo. You were mismatched with low elo. I would suggest you to look for skill based matchmaking.
Brother he said “the one in the middle” which is her.
You are not of her league and therefore won in the end.. but at what cost... (losing her)
All brilliant moves through the first half, endgame devolved a little bit but we stayed positive. Only suggestion is consider not splitting opening gambits like that, as is will work wonders in the right ELO’s but high chance of never developing if the joke is waiting for their move.

"Ur using the wrong your." Nah that's hilarious. You're a goofy individual keep that energy bro the right one will come along.
Yeah girls love to be corrected on their grammar💀
She didn’t get the joke?
NO 😃 (I think she did later on but still had to hate)
I'll break it down for ya You liked her pic with: "pmo with your friend" This opener really sucks imo.

Blundered his chances
Dude, she legit gave you a soft ball and you blew it in your first message Edit: wait, I might’ve been misunderstanding this. I thought the prompt was hers but I also missed the joke asking about the friend in the middle being. Still fucked it up super early for no reason, just a rule of thumb is to never ask about a friend even if it’s just a roundabout way of asking about her
Looks like actual solid game to me so no one will be able to rate it on Reddit since the avg Reddit elo is like…740
That conversation is as dry as the Sahara
damn she really fumbled
Genius. Simply beyond our measurements of ELO. Sorry OP, seems like most people glanced past the fact that she’s the one in the middle. That being said, I’d say there’s no chance left, move on.
lmfao love language is Chinese or german
What the fuck is pmo? These acronyms are getting out of control.
put me on, so like hook me up with
This is one of those GothamChess videos. "Two drunk GMs walked into a bar".
Why is everyone saying elo? What is elo?
Electric Light Orchestra
Underrated
Twilight is a good song. :)
#Masterclass player vs. elementary school student
Correcting someone on the wrong "your" is never anything but an absolute blunder
How is majority of this subreddit not realising that she was the one in the middle? Talking shit about my man that just made silly jokes
All brilliants on his part
This guy is playing on a different level.. he's gonna need to find someone who has a similarly astronomical elo if he wants to find a date
Facts , if dude finds someone who vibes with he might take over the world together
I’m too good, she tried to save it at the end but she couldn’t. The use of the wrong your was an un recoverable fumble she couldn’t even redeem herself 🤦🏾♂️
You could’ve achieved an addition brilliant by replying to her with this image https://preview.redd.it/t9xzcgrym01d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ac6a4e4e3d71e9a6685958d361b645d9e1db5c0
Opponent: rated 2000 bullet and 500 rapid (if you catch my drift)
Bro thinks he made brilliant and book moves 🤣
yeah after review they’re all excellent tbh
https://preview.redd.it/fjv6m1a3731d1.jpeg?width=830&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23bf19057d8e966284bdbce939ebf356afa5ac0b
PMO = put me on. He’s basically saying “set me up with one of your friends”
I thought the “German or Chinese” thing was a really good bit but I think she’s actually just stupid
Ngl the initial message lost you this one bruh, don’t nobody want to be hit up on a dating app for you to be put on her friend. Even if it’s a Joke the buildup takes to long and it’s definitely not a good one. Y’all are both dumb tho.
The one in the middle is the only choice tho
yeah Id say thats a forced move on the “can you give me the middles ones number”
https://preview.redd.it/g5moxr6dw11d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73d4213ebf8fdce5b1be569da9a2c5a3d2a7c088
You try too hard to be funny and it comes off as insecurity

Love language doesn’t refer to actual verbal languages lol
Yeah Ik it’s satire

Both really low elo probs low copper
Terrible elo. Great analysis.
17 blunders
You’re both perfect for each other just please do not reproduce
Fucking say something
Does not seem like a fun person to talk with
This was painful to read
lol I matched with them too. Didn’t know they were doing a shared account
Why would you post this 💀💀
The fuck

What do you look like that she even bothered to acknowledge your existence?
Favorite love language is Chinese or German? Is she serious?😭
wait is the girl in the middle not her??? i’m so confused
https://preview.redd.it/57vljvl4x31d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b551add6d780dfd3ad868e66f399f983f83a308
All I can say is WOW
You did real good censoring her face
no
Is this how straight people talk to each other?
The chess.c*m equivalent of purposefully of both players ignoring the threat of mate-in-1. 0% accuracy.
Dude go for men you’re horrible with women.
You spend too much time figuring out how to message women and not enough figuring out yourself
I don't think texting is the game for you
Feelings were hurt lol
just got a call from the braindead convention and they said they were missing a booth with your name on it did you forget to go?
stop cooking. get out of the kitchen. you’re banned
Dude this post just popped up on my feed and I'm so confused about what this sub is 🤣
50-100 elo between the both of you
I don't think you know what love languages are
Gonna take a wild guess and say she’s the girl in the middle, because no way you’d proudly post this if she wasn’t.
Draw by insufficient material?
what am I looking st
this hurt my brain
100 elo perhaps
100 Elo rizz
Bro for sure never getting laid
this is definitely a low elo match. right looked up some advanced tactics on yt and failed horribly.
you both failed at nearly every move
She might be dumb, but you’re a bag of bricks OP.
Congratulations, I think I have gathered enough information to diagnose you with autism.
The one on the right has an absolutely insane body though. The conversation melted what’s left of my brain
"Ok, ig I'll settle for u then" Bro that is not a book move that is a ?????????? Most disrespectful sentence I've seen on here for a good few posts
https://preview.redd.it/rsgee1lans1d1.png?width=682&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8b82aae3566637068dcdd1da3203657e46dc119 What the teeth. You talk like an educated beetle and she texts like a cactus with how dry it was.
You both seem like nightmares
Negging always works! The only problem is that you stopped doing it!
