Thanks for the detailed info, I appreciate it! I will definitely look into everything 🙂

Yeah, rule number one haha.

Yeah, missed that one! Went throught my normal game and a game with the move you mentioned, I would have a slight advantage with the position after the moves you recommended.

@@yorrinvdg ah cool, good luck in the games man :)

Yeah, could have recaptured with the queen and continued, good one.

Ok

AIH subscaibd too phis shchaneel

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I've been wondering what the line was after Nc3 :D.

Yes you should learn to play the tartakowet (nc3 dxe4 nf6) I recommend Alex banzeaw

@@anoobnoduhgaming9416 Will check it out, thanks!

yea

Thank you 🫡

Worth checking out! Solid opening and the theory is easy to follow/understand. :)

470 :-)

@@yorrinvdgthought you were atleast 1300 wtf

@@sslugs Thank you Slugs! I wish, though. Top blitz (5 min = 650) and currently 470 in 15|10, haha.

@@yorrinvdg just keep playing like how you did this game and you’ll be there in no time

You’re right, I missed that, haha. Lucky he missed something too and blundered his queen 👀

D5 seems bad, locks positions and stops whites queenside attack, this throws away whites advantage and allows black to make up for the wasted moves in the opening. Something better like Nd2 keeps the tension and defends the other knight from the bishop.

@@sslugsYeah you're right d5 wasn't a good move. I was focusing too much on avoiding the material loss. There's also a discovered attack with black's bishop on the rook if that move is made. So yeah I agree Nd2 seems much better

Loving the content brother, I subbed!

Thank you 🫡

Making the man, the myth, the legend himself proud, haha.

Thank you, I appreciate it! It was a shaky game, but we managed :p

Thanks for subscribing, I truly do appreciate it! Let's grind together in getting better, haha. I'm hoping that my video's can keep adding value to your learning process. :)

Hi bud! I do not, no. I was considering creating one, but I am not tech-savvy with Discord. I will dive into creating one, though. It is a wonderful way to play chess with everybody, connect, make friends, and have fun. Are you good with discord servers?

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Facts, part of the learning curve :)) and good idea about the blunder compilation, hahah.

Thank you and will do! 😄

Haha, understandable! There’s a reason I’m 300+, only started playing the last month and still working on my tactics and overall strategy. I will try to not anger you as much sooner or later, haha.

Sometimes we've got to resign to keep our sanity, haha.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Hopefully we’ll meet at the 1500 level in the future 😮‍💨

Give me one day and I got it xD

Haha, I wish! I think I started chess too late for that

9:16 you left your pawn on d4 undefended.

19:23 the easiest way is to simplify the game by forcing a queen trade Qe5+.Then save your bishop and you go to endgame the opponent having no pieces and you having a bishop and a rook. Now you got a fork because the opponent just kept on blundering.

@@jeffreyburrows9157 Thank you for all the tips/tricks/improvement points. The pawn I never saw, haha. Other points I did come across while editing, thanks for reminding me. :DD

@@yorrinvdg At your rating, the most important thing is to find solid moves and not letting your pieces hanging - and also not blundering stuff for free. When thinking about a move, just remember to make a quick blunder check if there's something you leaving unprotected, is there something that can attack you immediately - or if there's a discover attack. So, don't ignore the bishop that have been sitting in fianchetto last 10 moves at the opposite side of the board. If you're ahead in points, feel free to go for even trades. That way you don't only increase your relative advantage but also minimize the risk for blunders. No need for fancy and complicated tactics - just wait for the opponent making a mistake or a blunder which happens almost in every game at 300-800 elo.

@@jeffreyburrows9157 Thanks for the advice, I will take this with me the next time I am playing. I've prerecorded some videos, so don't get mad at me if you see me make some mistakes you cleared up, hahah.

Thanks for the reply! It is funny you mention it, I’ve been watching videos from the NM Alex Banzea about the Jabava london and I am trying it out since a couple of days. The Scotch Gambit sounds new to me, I will check it out. 😄

Agree. London system usually leads to rather positional game which can be hard to play when you're a beginner. Also trying out different openings help to understand them better when your opponent is playing them. I am not sure if that's a goal on sub 600 elo though. Maybe later when you have got familiar with basic principles. Opening itself isn't usually the deciding factor how your game ends up - as long as you don't play silly stuff like the bongcloud. The upside of the London is that you can pretty much play it brain dead never caring too much how the opponent responds - except Qb6 stuff taking advantage of the queen side bishop developed early. I was a fan of e4 openings and played Scotch and Vienna quite a lot. Nowadays I have enjoyed playing Jobava having some quite sharp games. The opponent most likely thinks that "ah, just another London player" but then chaos erupts if he doesn't know how to prevent some bishop & knight tricks.

i would like to subscribe you but i dont wanna lose ello what should i do, the only thing i can do is sacriface my elo

@@MIXEDeditz1 Sacrifice got to be made in life :p

Thank you, and I will take you up on that offer a.s.a.p! Trying to get better day-by-day :D

Of course, seems fun! If you’re interested; Add me on Chess.com, send me a message, and we can play a couple of games. 😄

You’re right, I completely missed that one! 😮

On move 14. you could have played Bb5 and having a skewer against Q and K if he captures your queen you take his with check and forking the king and a rook on a8. If he captures your bishop, you simply recap with your queen. Both ways you would be up in material.

On move 16. you should follow the idea of checks, captures and attacks. There's Ne5+ and then you can capture his bishop. When you eventually saw that it was too late.

All solid plays and I should have went for it, might be the reason I am only close to only 400 ELO, haha. I need to be a little more on point the next games. 😂

@@yorrinvdg I recommend doing chess puzzles as daily basis to help you see these tactics. I think the problem is that here's a lot of tunnel vision focusing only on certain pieces or sections of the board. It can be also helpful to watch videos of speed runs - my favorites are Chess Vibes and Eric Rosen.

@@jeffreyburrows9157 Funny that you mention it! I've started reading the book from Levy Rozman (Gotham Chess) and due to this book I've started playing puzzles, haha. I will most definitely check out the channels that you've mentioned, I truly do appreciate the recommendations and tips/tricks. 😎

Thanks for the tip, Valentijn! You’ll see it in a couple more videos because I pre-recorded it, but I’ll try to focus on this. Thanks for the tip. Can I reach out here on YT? I am always interested in learning more. 😁

Thank you, I appreciate it! Do you play chess often, what’s your favorite opening? 😄

Thanks for the suggestion! I get that adding a character might make things more entertaining, but I believe in staying true to who I am. Playing a role just to keep people engaged wouldn’t feel authentic, and I’d rather connect with viewers who appreciate my calm and curious approach. It might not be flashy, but I’m focused on building an audience that resonates with that vibe. I know it’s not for everyone, but for me, it’s the right path. I'm still new to this, so my personality will shine through more with time. I’m in the adjusting phase right now, but stick around-you might end up enjoying it. And if not, that's okay too.
