800 rated player made a 1 move threat and the youtuber said that maybe this one move threat isn't so stupid after all because it provokes a weakness. However, after a couple of moves it became clear that an 800 just wanted to make a 1 move threat and had no other idea in mind.
It is odd to me to address to you in English, but this may be interesting for someone else, so I will do it regardless.
There was a certain online chess test of sorts that estimates your Elo (of course doing it is more or less for fun, it shouldn't be taken seriously). Anyway I did it 2 years ago shortly after I restarted playing chess after some 20 years, and my younger brother did it as well. I was always the stronger player, and the gap is not small because he was never that interested in chess.
In any case when we did the test, we got almost identical Elo estimation. Why? Well in some positions I did better than him, but in 1 or 2 positions he made 1 move blunders, as he didn't see the piece was hanging.
But in fact, those were not blunders, because there were very specific reasons that made those moves either correct or better than what I've come up with. So, his solution was good, but the reason why was beyond his understanding by a lot.
It is like when you get the right answer in math test but you do it completely the wrong way, making several mistakes along the way that cancels each other out.
Those online chess personality and rating tests are like getting a 'Life Experience' degree. It doesnt really mean anything.
Of course I agree, it was just for fun.
I used it as an example that an idea behind a certain move is different for 400 and 2 000 rated player (for instance), even though both players might play the same move in a certain position.

I took an online IQ test that was advertising on social media. I took it twice. The first time, I got every question correct. The second time, I got every question wrong. In this way, I established the range of possibilities (65-135).
