Guess the Rating

Sort:
D2-D2

Hi, I was wondering how good people where at guessing the rating of the players of a game, so I wanted to show a game I found so people can guess white's and black's ratings are. So here is the game:

 the  time control is G60 d5
 
I will edit this to tell you  the average guesses.
 
EDITS:
Ok then it's been about a month so here is the average guess:
 
White is 1767.857
 
Black is 1542.85
 
I have absolutely no Idea how good the players would be rated in your player pool as the area has a lot of clubs in it but here are the ratings:
 
White was rated 1260 USCF (did forget to tell you that?) at the time and is 1375 USCF now.
 
Black was 1136 USCF and is 1057 now
 
again, I have no idea how they would play in you pool
 
It was USCF rated

Um id guess like 1900 (white) and 1700 (black) but it probably depends on the time limit of the game. They both definitely understand tactics well and their openings are more interesting than you would see at the lower level. But I have seen similar play at that rating range so that's my guess.

No, you did not miss that i editeded (is that a word?) it.

I think white is around 1800 and black is 1500.

HorribleTomato

Ah, 1450 or so for black, 1675 for white.

It is kind of hard to tell with that opening, White is evidently the stronger player. Does anyone remember what the book refutation is? I remember that it starts with 6. Qe2+, but it seems like the kind of thing that has to be specifically learned at the club level.

I was going to say 1600 and 1400. But Horrible Tomato probably guessed even better.

Well, they play better than I do! I'd guess White is 1800 and Black is 1600.

c7 pressure, creative and demanding responses and lack of inaccuracies by white suggests class A 1800

lack of initiative, static play with minimal threats, seemingly less depth of understanding by black; mid class C 1500;  perhaps though it's quite the opposite and the very reason you posted an "upset"; besides white's play looks suspiciously accurate i.e. engine.  who knows, just tell us, it's been a month.  Ratings are not the end all be all unless you are top ten.

I edited it with the answers.

I guessed white 1800 vs black 1500. (saw your answer already)

...How did we all manage to be something like 400 rating points off...

HorribleTomato

 It was a trick. The people playing were kids.

alvinfan

Yeah most kids are way underrated but to find out we underestimated them by 400 points is still slightly shocking.

HorribleTomato

Well, is it common for a 1400 to draw 2 experts, with missed wins in both of them, and a obvious advantage in one?

We didn't. 150 points off is a reasonable guess. At any given time a 1400 will play like a 2000 and a 2000 will play like a 1400.
