Thank You! Good luck for your games!

This is so awesome. I love this book. I really hope you create videos for the entire book. Three chapters is great but the whole book would be perfection!!!!

This was 3 years ago, give us an update on your progress!!

Please Post More Often !!

Great video, I appreciate the knowledge shared here in this video! Thanks ! <3

Starting this book today

The middle game book is over $200 in the US

This content is absolute gold 🌟. No flashy gimmicks, just pure practical advice explained clearly. So many 'chess thinking' videos veer off into analysing specific positions and make the actual algorithm impossible to follow or just stick to simplistic CCT. I am writing this approach on flashcards to help memorise. I look forward to seeing how the structure and discipline will improve my play. Thank you Luka 🙏

Why wait for pawn d3 before moving bishop back?

Beautiful set

Retired high school Religion, Math and Philosophy teacher here. I recently bought the Opening Lab course and was so impressed with it I bought all 118 courses. I've seen improvement in my opening play. I believe success comes from habit and that's where ChessKing really shines. I just keep focussing on each task and it's a very enjoyable experience. There are snobs out there who will say the interface looks outdated but it looks just fine to me. Plus I now have over 200,000 chess problems to solve! Cheers from Canada! BTW...I bought the entire course at 25% discount so only $187 USD. And I've even heard some guys have become Master level players through sheer repetition of using this course.

This book has helped me more than any other I've read. My rating went up about 300 points after doing his vision drills

It was a great conversation. However, I don't think kids learn better or faster. They just have more time to dedicate.

I currently read Polgar Book. I am at 500s. I solve using a chess engine on computer. I try to avoid changing pieces but I change them when I need to and I leave the problem if I can't solve it in 5 min. Have you finished the book? Were mate in 3s and games much more harder than mate in 2s?

Maybe try Arena Grandmaster, the Fide online title.

bro where are more videos😢

Hi Luka, is this to with the length of the puzzles in terms of moves. I did not see a way to adjust difficulty on Lichess.

nice anti-blunder tips and good example

Chess king for mobile is such a good app. I highly recommend it for anyone of any skill levels. It’s a bit clunky, so take some time learning how it works, because it has a ton of features that aren’t obvious. KEEP IN MIND MOBILE PURCHASES DO NOT CARRY OVER TO DESKTOP. CT ART is great. Beginner to club player is awesome. Basically every learning package is great.

A big thank you .... rather an oldish chap try 70´s coming back to chess after a long time away. So I thank you again. No chess club on the Island so really for a keen interest.

That's 300 videos. Then you can do the same with Polgar's 5334 positions book.

What's the concept btw? You're training live for yourself or you train your viewers?

Found the #1 in like four seconds but if you had mentioned Capablanca then maybe it would have been ten seconds.

I think your background in science should let you learn bettsr in a top-down manner. Start with strategy, then go on openings & find the most likely tactics that occur on your chosen opening. Finally, study the end game positions that would likely occur in your chosen openings. Everything ties together.

I think a set of 250 is too little. I now did a 500 set and on circle 3 I already remember many, so stop soving altoghether. I think 1000 is a good size for a set,

I think for solving, and making it more like a tournament game, one needs stakes. E.g., if you do X solutions in Y time, you get a reward. Perhaps a treat. If not, a punishment. Perhaps pushups and squats. You might have reps according to how many puzzles you got wrong.

Thank you for this very helpful list, I will purchase all three.

As an older, new player who wishes to improve, this is a very helpful video, and I will use your ideas, so thank you very much. I recently found your channel and your Soviet Chess Primer series, which I will start working through when my copy of the book arrives.

Just the video series I was hoping to find. I have the book on the way, and I also have a copy of 'Soviet Middle Game Strategies'. I look forward to working through your videos. Thank you in advance for your efforts. -Greg

This is a great accompaniment to the book, thank you for doing this! As everyone else is saying, it would be amazing if you continued.

Very nice 👍👍👍

Don't give up! Are you going to post more games?

In the second game ...Nd7 was not positional blunder, but tactical blunder because of d6-...Bxd6-Qd2 and you cannot defend against two heavy pieces lined up on the d-file. You opponent also missed this. If you could see such tactical nuances you would dramatically improve your game

Nice game, Luka! Very efficient attack. Elegant! One q. At 5:00, wouldn't Rh4 also be winning, trapping his Queen?

Hi. I am on my way to 2000 in 10 + 0 rapid. I'm hovering around 1945 if you want to play any rapid format.

The explanation is completely wrong. De la Maza writes in the book: "Note that positions in which the black king can recapture the queen after the queen captures the rook are not valid. Focus only on positions in which the capture of the rook is safe." Great channel though. Helped me a lot.

Really appreciate all you have done a big thank you...

Aye 3 is weak for you.. Learning allot from your videos of he Soviet Chess Primer and the book many thanks

Best endgame boo for amateurs is Salman's endgame course. He teaches what you need to know based on your rating.

Please continue this series.

Hi Luka, thanks for positing. I followed your analysis, though I am not sure if the reason for the errors/blunders were just being adult chess player. I think a key problem is that in these rapid games you just don't have enough time to think in critical positions. Take the first game for example. You missed the correct continuation in a very critical position, but you hardly had enough time to list candidate moves, analyze, prove for yourself your choice is the best you can come up with, etc. Perhaps focusing on longer games will be a more fruitful exercise to help get back in shape.

Also member of Mensa top 1% from Denmark. High IQ definitely dont automatically make you a good chess player. Maybe even more a challenge to focus and dont overthink positions. I find great inspiration in your path. Wish you the best of luck.

I know they are painfull but they may be even more usefull to go in great detail every move because you can learn more from losses than from wins.

bros dont give up we all will make it!

Hi, Luka, I think this series of blunders is only natural, analogous to the performance drop some athletes experience before achieving records. I trust that soon your chess set point will reach a higher level. Anyway, rationalizing blunders, in my opinion, serves little purpose. As you have taught us, there is a huge difference between chess skill and knowledge, and rationalization falls into the latter category. To impact the former, in my opinion, there's only training with spaced repetition and board vision. There's no escaping it...

hi there, why dont you work simply part time? I do that (phd in geochemistry) (32 hour work week) and so i have lots of time for chess and heavy metall bass playing! Also, my job isnt exactly stressful, so i often play chess at work (home office). Working part time was one of the best decisions of my life! -> very good for the mental health due to more freedom.

Thanks for the videos. I really appreciated. This videos are great.

Are u talking about 1600 fide?
