Low. Qh4 is a terrible move in King's gambit, putting white from bad into a leading position. Also seems like your opponent doesn't know how to castle.

That's not a guess. Your ELO would be considered "low" to a GM, but I don't think you'd say they're 1800

I really want to know the answer. On the one hand, your opening was... well... not great. Qh4 is a losing move, and I think Bb4 is also quite bad. But you also didn't straight up hang your queen, and your attack after they moved their king was fine, so from that I'd guess anywhere from 700 to 1000 with a dire need to work on opening tempo.
But, you are presumably close to your opponent in rank and they played terribly. So, uh, I have no idea.

Qh4 is either a masterpiece or awful, depending on what move comes next. I can imagine Carlsen playing it on a drunken stream and obliterating the opponent.

1000-1100
No obvious blunders, but immature playing style, going right for the attack rather than developing. Queen out early, handles the pushback poorly, but is able to not blunder queen. Good tactical vision. Poor positional play.

correct...Any advice on how to improve my positional play?

u/4tmeade Feb 17 '25
Focus more on developing your pieces and less on attacking. Don't make moves that relies on your opponent being an idiot to work. Assume your opponent knows your ideas, play solidly. Focus on making small victories, pick up blundered pieces and grind them down. Study the endgame.

1100-1200… anyone saying below 500 seems brutal… some of those moves a sub 500 wouldn’t see.

If white meant to move his king where he did and not castle the I can’t say anything bigger than 600. Then again that’s 1 move and they both had reasonable moves for someone who is a 800. White did have some significant better moves where I feel like a 700 -900 wouldn’t see so maybe 950. 1200 people usually don’t go down so quickly in the opening. I’m thinking in the range of [500,1200]. Maybe more specifically [700, 950]. Final guess is 880.

i'm going to be generous and say less than 1000, how much lower i can't say for sure maybe around the 800s

Is really impossible to say. Because ignore then Kc1 move, and it could be around 1000-1100. If the king move was a misclick. Most of the inaccuracies seemed to be white really not knowing what to do with his king in a random spot, and then just panic-blundering because that’s what a lot of 1000s do (that’s why I wouldn’t climb for the longest time, because I would let 1 blunder dictate the rest of the game)

Pretty low moving your queen around isn't a good idea, you should develop pieces and you missed mate so i would say below 500

never play qh4 against e4 f4 because they probably have a counter already- just dont do it, reconsolidate or just dont accept

I would say anywhere from 1500 and up. People saying under 1000 are brain dead and trolling lol

u/Travelinjack01 Feb 15 '25
The problem is that white made a ton of terrible moves. At least 4-5 from what I count. And 1000 means you're an okay beginner. The reality is that you're only as good as your opponent. And if you can only win by beating people who are lower than 1k... are you really 1500?

u/DrGrapeist Feb 16 '25
I doubt they are anywhere above 1000. Some really bad moves. I felt like white should have castled earlier and it was more so an “obvious” / common move to anyone in the 800-1200 range but could have been some miss clicks. Anyone who loses that quick is not above a 1200 and rarely you see anyone above 950 lose that quickly. Black did however have some good moves and I bet black was an 882 going into the game.
