Guess The Elo

Rather than guessing the average Elo, this challenge invites you to make two guesses: one for Black and one for White.

Good luck everyone!

White: 800

Black: 750

White - 1000

Black - 900

I can confirm that you are both right insofar as White's Elo is higher than Black's Elo.

But the numbers are out.

White's rating is above 800.

The real ratings may come as a surprise.

Keep the guesses coming. I will give out another hint later if needed.

White's Elo is more than 200 points higher than Black's Elo.

White: 1200

Black: 970

How many mistakes did White make in this game?

How many mistakes did Black make in this game?

Oh, man. Time to count.

White's Elo is more than 300 points higher than Black's Elo.

Oh, dear. So… white is above 800 and over 300 points higher than black… huh.

black 1400

white 1650?

No way! White and black played too badly to be above 1300!

How did they play badly?

Initial thoughts (note: I don't know anything about 1 e4 openings) . . . 

I don't like how by move 15 so many of white's pieces were sitting on their original squares -- use your pieces. OTOH, in retrospect, it seems that black ignored the pawn storm threat for way too long. He should have moved his c-pawn up so as to get this queen (sitting useless on b7) over to help protect.

White never used his rook on h1 and it is not clear to me what the purpose of the 22.Nf3 move was and why he chose to play it then. I would not consider 22.Nf3 to be a mistake though, as it develops the piece and is protected by the Queen.

White is 1600-2000, black is 50 below whatever white is

white is 1900 and black is 1280
