I absolutely should have lol. My mind was on other things and I didn't expect my opponent to blunder like that, so mentally I kind of just assumed the queen was protected 😅. Also it was a bit of a time scramble at that point

Ooo I forgot about that move. I'll look into it :)

One of these days it will be short due to a swift victory. But today is not that day lol

The Tipsy Chess episodes are meant to be more casual :) I looked at the game review after reading your comment tho and it looks like I missed a queen fork to win the bishop with Qa5+ at 0:24, but that was a pretty unusual position in my opinion. Usually after Qa5+ their knight can block with Nc3, blocking the check and defending the bishop, but here we just so happen to have an unusual pawn on d4 which prevents that. Did you see another blunder by the opponent besides that one tho? I didn't see one when I looked at the game review

Thank you! I'm trying to make this series and my channel very educational so I hope it helps :) If you're trying to improve you might also like my Subscriber Games playlist

@@ChessWithCody I'll check that out!

Thank you!! I was worried this one was too long so I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Okay cool, glad it wasn't too much. When I watch top level streamers the arrows get to be too much sometimes and I can't always follow the ideas lol

Thanks Greg :) I like it too. I might make this the new format permanently and cut out the analysis part of the videos. It keeps them snappier and more entertaining and I feel like it still provides 80% of the educational value

27:07 Kg8 was a mouse slip, I knew how to win that endgame, I also know that sometimes if the pawn is on the f or c file that the endgame is only drawn. But I knew that the endgame I played was always winning as long as my queen was near the pawn, so I tried using my opponents pawn to create a mating net, or forcing a specific sequence to mate.

Great logic and decision! I think most players wouldn't have even considered it as an option so well done

@@simonthemutlu That's a painful mouse slip haha. Good recovery :)

Oh nice man. I just checked out a couple of your videos, good stuff. Maybe we could do a couple collab episodes, I'd be happy to coach you and give you some tips and make a video or two out of that if you're interested

@@ChessWithCody that would be awesome, definitely interested

Dope. Shoot me an email at chesswithcody@gmail.com and we'll talk there!

@@KirbChess I replied to this same-day, but now RUclips isn't showing my comment haha. So I'll resend just in case. Sounds good man, send me an email at chesswithcody@gmail.com and we can discuss there!

Hahaha yeah... I had tunnel vision. I think I saw the trapping idea right before I played the initial knight move so I was just zoned in on that and didn't even consider my opponent might blunder a fork right away

Thank you!! You're right, I totally missed that fork haha. That would have been much simpler than what I went for in the game, I had tunnel vision on my trapping idea

I totally missed that!! Great eye, that would have been a much more simple win. I had tunnel vision on my rook trapping plan lol. Thank you!! Glad to have you aboard Mohamed. I love making these videos for you guys

Thank you! Can I ask which aspect of the format you like? I’m still playing around with how to structure the best content that helps the most people

Good eye! You’re absolutely right, I missed that my opponent had Bg5 in the game. But luckily so did my opponent lol. Keep the questions and suggestions coming, please always feel free to chime in 👍

❤ Thanks brother, that's awesome. Keep learning and having fun and the improvement will come 👍 If you ever have any questions about my games or how to improve in general just ask me in the comments any time

Good point! Having the open F file for our rook is often an asset. One thing I forgot to mention in this position is that because I played pawn g6 earlier, I think white can probably trade off my dark squared bishop on g7 with their bishop and then THAT diagonal is also sketch for my king. Whereas if instead I still had a pawn on g7 I would have felt much safer since I could hide in the corner. So I think with this setup it's still risky to play fxe6. But I do think fxe6 was probably best :)

Which spot? Hit me with a timestamp

1:53 or somewhere around there Knight to e3 forks rook and queen

@@ChessWithCodythe bishop was guarding that square now that I look

Ah okay, yeah the bishop covers it this time. Good looking out tho! Keep those suggestions coming

Oh interesting! I don't think I've seen that line before, I'll try to remember that for next time. Thanks for the input as always Simon! Btw the game you sent me is next up on Subscriber games, I just haven't gotten around to recording it. Soon!

When the going gets tough, Chess with Cody gets going 😎

Thanks Greg, I think that's an accurate assessment :) You should send me one of your games soon!

Wow yeah I think it does! Good eye. Cool under pressure

Ah thank you Simon, that makes sense! I have to keep a better lookout for those bishop sac discovered attacks :)

Cody is accidentally highlighting Nd5 in the game. The computer wanted the other knight to go Nd4.

@@smileyqwerty100 oh dang you're right Greg. My chess literacy is still a work in progress lol. Nd4 looks solid, it's like a psuedo-outpost since it can't really be attacked there and it prevents BxNf3 which happened later in the game, doubling my pawns, and it comes with a tempo on the undefended bishop

​@@smileyqwerty100thanks, Nd4 with the idea of rerouting the knight on f3 to a more aggressive square since blacks setup is passive and you can punish his bishop placement by gaining a tempo on each reroute move. When the knight is on f3 its good defensively, but since the opponents setup isn't strong offensively, the engine is saying its unnecessary to have the knight there and uses the Bishop on c6 as a target to bring the knight to another square. I get the idea now ;-;

Lol thanks for your sacrifice Greg. Yeah man he was relentless this game, played super well. Never gave me any chances

Thanks for the input Greg! I like it. I considered including the top engine moves before but I wasn't sure if it'd be distracting. I try to filter out the noise and callout the useful info verbally, but yeah might be better to have it on screen as well. I'll try it in some future episodes! I like the idea of the evaluation graph over the game too, we'll see

I might be able to help, let me ask a couple questions: What's your rating range? What's your win/loss rate as white? Win/loss rate as black? What openings do you play as white that you're comfortable with? What are you playing as black currently vs king pawn? Queen pawn?

@@ChessWithCody I currently play the Sicilian najdorf as black but due to lack of knowledge of the lines I have loopholes in the theory.

​@@SamyakSawaimoon cool Sicilian is my main opening as well. Have you checked out my Brush Off The Dust series? I play lots of sicilian defense there and you can see what I play in various positions Also I know the youtube channel Hanging Pawns has lots of really detailed opening lines. I'm starting his Sicilian playlist for my own learning, but it's a large undertaking haha

Hahaha yeah when I replayed that section it's kind of crazy how long it's sitting there. I got really lucky. I think their motivation for moving the bishop must have been that I was attacking it, not with the mating threat in mind so they just overlooked it. Happens to the best of us :) Any extra suspense added was by accident but I'll take it. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good lol

Thank you!! I'm so glad you got something out of it. And excellent analysis! You're well on your way past 700 with thought processes like this. Btw I actually JUST released a video where I basically coach a 700 elo subscriber on their game, you might find it useful! ruclips.net/video/H2H4I5m-Bic/видео.html

Thanks for your support Anne :)

You're welcome Cody! ☺️👏 I

Thanks Aidan, exactly man. All part of the journey :)

Glad you enjoyed it! This was probably my favorite episode so far :)

Good eye! I didn't even consider that, a worthwhile option. Going for the desperado-pawn grab is the right spirit. And I think after that we're equal in material, as opposed to being down a pawn like I was in the game. AND I'll have a pawn on the b file so black will have to do some work to make a passed pawn over there. Overall that position is so much better for us. It might still be winning for black because I think they'll be able to make a passed pawn before us, I'm not 100% sure, but your idea seems like the best shot, Simon. Thanks for chiming in, next time I need to keep a better eye out for desperados!

Ooo good observation! So yeah after Bg4 there might be some tactics. Although I suspect Nxd5 wouldn't quite work for white with accurate play by us: So the line I'm looking at is after 1. Bg4 is we pass the turn to let white go again and then 2. Nxd5 Rxc1+ 3. Qxc1. From there I think we can play queen or pawn takes the knight on d5. The pawn is no longer pinned since we traded rooks. Recapturing with the pawn on d5 is the probably best move so that our queen stays on the back rank and protects white's queen from checking on c8 and winning the a6 pawn Taking the knight on d5 with the queen also kind of works though because after they play Qc8+ we can block with the bishop and they don't have any pieces left to pressure that bishop. Although then they probably take our a6 pawn, but we're still up material But good eye! I wish I had noticed this in the game

In the edit I almost made fun of myself for saying that but decided not to draw attention to it haha

That makes me so happy to hear Aidan, thank you man <3. I'm glad you're a part of the journey :)

Wow I was very wrong, the engine didn't care

@@simonthemutlu Wow such detailed analysis!! You made some good points, especially about Bg5 being kind of annoying for my setup in this game. My intuition still is probably that d6 is probably okay, maybe a slight inaccuracy. Even when a square is "double clamped" like d5 was, it's somewhat common to challenge and attack it, I think I've seen that in some grandmaster lectures on RUclips. Not in this particular opening though so idk But yeah "e6-b6" is definitely a legit opening system, which I remember GothamChess talking about so the moves you suggested were definitely viable as well! Keep the commentary coming!

Good eye! That's correct :)

Thank you! Hope to see you in future comment sections :)
