Hopefully somebody actually replies this time 😅 Guess the ELO for both white and black. Here is the game:

I will announce whoever was the closest in a week or if anybody gets it within 10 ELO points for both white & black I will just say they won. Good luck!!!

@GM_Jakaria so far you are the closest for the difference between white and black's score. Not gonna say who is the closest with the score yet tho, still got another 5 days

White was solid, had some ideas, black was only wasting time. White should be generally better. Maybe 1800 vs 1500

1575 white.
1409 black.

I will go with around 800 for both.

depends on time control as otherwise pointless to even start to guess. That game in 1-min bullet and in Daily chess are two very different propositions. White looks like a half-decent player though.

There wasn't a single elementary blunder or elementary mistake in this game (for both sides)!
Every pawn that black lost (except the first one, but that was kind of an intentional gambit, black decided to play trash opening moves, that doesn't say anything about his playing capabilities), black couldn't have defended it without either losing a knight (38..Kd6 loses a knight, Ke6 runs into Bb3+ and you still lose a pawn), or playing a very passive position (43.. Ra8 is very passive).
After 4 moves it is the portuguese, except black played h5 instead of Bf5 or Nxd5 (and white had a free move h3). So this is really good for white.  I don't get why not 7.. Nxc6. 
8. d5 Nd5 doesn't look dangerous for black. 
The later part of the game was better than the beginning. Black seeing the bishop fork and thus not putting his king on g6 (move 54). White seeing he can sacrifice the bishop for promotion, the sacrifice works no matter how black takes the bishop. Move 41 white seeing that he has to move the bishop before grabbing the pawn is also good (considering that if this is a blitz game, players were probably in time trouble).  
Here are my guesses.
If this was a blitz game or a 10+0 game I say both players are rated 2100.
If this is a 15+10 game I say both players are 1700.
If this game is slower than 15+10 I say both players are 1600.

That's how the game looks to me as well. I have no idea why there are people who are guessing 1000. On all of guess the elo threads there are people who guess 900, or 1000 even though the game was obviously played by 1500+ players. I don't know if they are trolling or if they don't understand the game so they think some moves were blunders which were not actually blunders, or are these people themselves rated around 1000 and they think they can play like the guys who played the game whose elo's they are guessing.
