    A few days ago I played Carokann and my opponent blundered a random piece on move 4, o kinda lost interest in the game and just "developed" my pieces passively, I got smoothered mated in 15 moves.. I deserved that humiliation. I learned that you should never have mercy, kill your opponent whenever you have the chance. And never underestimate a man who's got nothing to lose :(

    I usually do the opposite when playing a strong player, a video about the hyper aggressive mindset would be awesome too

      What do you mean by hyper aggressive? Do you beat them with a chair on their head?

      Wrong. This lesson is GM-level stuff.

    You just don't get this kind of consistent, invaluable advice anywhere else that takes such a holistic approach to the game. There are all kinds of opening, endgame, etc. videos out there but very few really teach players how to THINK. Great stuff, thank you. Congrats on 10k subs.

    Really excellent video as always.
    I remember a game I played once against a 1500 or so rated opponent where they opened the H file against my castled king and tried to mate me on the H, but I calculated it and it wasn't quite working.
    Basically my opponent continued anyway and ended up sacking their queen for my rook in a totally unsound way.
    It's a funny thing in reverse, where if you DO react to threats that aren't threats, you can go down in flames trying to "defend". But if you DON'T respond to an unsound attack, occasionally your opponent carries on with their unsound plan and goes down in flames themselves. On my level at least.

    My god andreas that were just the instincts of mine that u challenged on thinking twice on our first defensive instincts we can always find out that we are not playing macho chess and that we are giving our opponent way more respect than he deserves truly awesome lesson

    Andras, I really like your content! I want to ask: I see that reacting to a non-threat can be worse for your position than not reacting at all. On the other hand, when one is with a winning position it is common practice to try to be as solid as posible in order to avoid unnecessary complications. I mean, trying to be solid can also be expressed as playing suboptimal moves in order to have a simpler game, where it is harder to blunder something. Are these ideas contradictory or I am missing something?

    So basically it is the ability to work out if you can interpose an intermediate move to the threat or not.

    Before your video I saw an Ad about the new Loki movie. Very
    disappointed that you weren't in it. Felt a little bit betrayed to be
    honest. Anyway, fantastic lesson as usual.

    Just wanted to ask something can we take on h3 so that after kh1 and rg1 we can use the kingside for our own attack 😀 in the hikaru game

    • @ChessCoachAndras
      @ChessCoachAndras  3 года назад +1

      Nope , we have no business whatsoever to play on the kingside .

    The arrow for the knight is annoying, it distracts from the true move of the knight and when you draw several of them the confusion is complete 😕
