Wow, going from such a scary position to a win. That's crazy. And yeah, understanding why you made mistakes is so important. There's usually a reason you missed a tactic and not just "I need to do more puzzles."
Probably the biggest mistake jokers like me make is to play games and never look back at them. Instead, we just solve lots of tactical puzzles, or even worse just study a bunch of opening theory, and then we wonder why we are not improving! Thanks for this video!
You are gold! I literally posted in the 30 day training plan that my analysis of my games were weak. I go to lunch and there you are showing me exactly what to do.
Also theres a sneaky habit I tend to have after I lose a game that another person might have, I say to myself "I know why I lost that game because I'm good enough to recognize my blunder" but this way of thinking doesn't address the fact that you didn't know what the best was and was ultimately what lead you to loose in the first place and no a quick glance at what the best move was in that position is not going to cut it you have to understand why it was the best, what lead to you thinking your move was the best and what other chances did I have.
As always great content btw please make more videos on Middlegame i am telling this 3rd time please make as it cover 65-70% of chess game. 1 million soon 🥰🥰🥰
thanks! I mean, almost every video I make now is about middlegame one way or another, no? It's just that when "middlegame" is in a title or thumbnail, the video does not perform as good. But I will continue experimenting for sure, thank you!
That was a great analysis of an amazing game. However, the focus could have been more on how to use the tools to learn from the mistakes made and how to not make them again, because knowing them is just the first part.
Thank you for your insight, and I have a question. When the engine is showing its analysis after each move, is the analysis based on the highest level the engine can play? Is that the reason it may look like white is in a much higher position evaluation, but that is based on the engines knowledge if it was playing and not the player who may not have that same knowledge?
yeah, the engine evaluation is always based on the engine best moves but it's also the closest we have to "objective truth". Of course, sometimes it might be different from a practical perspective.
Im a 1500 have to prepare for national match in which in facing 2200s its after a year i need to prepare for it please give me some tips for calculation 😭
every time your opponent makes a move - try to understand his idea every time you are about to make a move - try to think what your opponent can do afterwards You will do well!

A lot of newbies aren't improving at chess because they focus on cheating to win just to massage their ego. Once they get in a losing position in an online chess match, they quickly reach for their engine. They'll never know how to play.
There were a few games I had played with black, I didn't cheat but I remember analyzing the games and realized I started taking a long time from a losing position, I had just played so accurately for the rest of the game I ended up winning. I feel bad sometimes because ik how it feels to lose from a completely winning position (especially when you know you're winning). :c
My chess student will not play rated chess games because they make too many "stupid" mistakes. So your method can't help them. They want to first get good, then they will play chess games.
it's classical fixed vs growth mindset problem. I will first learn the language, and then start to speak. You can never get good without playing real games, making those mistakes and then learning from them. Every chess champion was once a beginner and made tons of blunders. And that's okay. That is part of the process.
@@journeytograndmaster Thank you for your answer. Since you are an IM, I respect that your answer takes into account a lot of experience in the chess world, and a lot of work that you have put into chess yourself to raise yourself to your rank. I will pass along your answer to my student, confident that he is getting sound advice.
If you want to get **insanely** good at spelling, hit me up🤣↓↓↓↓ Sorry, I am just having a bit of fun, no bad intentions. Really do appreciate the vids as I'm trying to get back to some semblance of a half-decent player.
It's not enough to know that you should do it. Everybody knows it. It's essential to actually do it AND do it the right way. That's the point of the video. Watching the full video would have benefited you tremendously.
I just watched first 15 minutes of this video, I’ll come back tomorrow and finish the rest!
@@isitago haha, I am waiting for you. You promised! :)
Been 7 days, did you complete the video ?

How is this even possible, to face such strong opps?

I don't think there is a road map possible for 2500, you have to play 6 hours a day for 6-7 years, probably.

Thank you!

really? Amazing, as it doesn't even give you anything to cheat online. Not to mention, it's detrimental for the chess growth.
Only losers cheat.
Not me though lol
There were a few games I had played with black, I didn't cheat but I remember analyzing the games and realized I started taking a long time from a losing position, I had just played so accurately for the rest of the game I ended up winning. I feel bad sometimes because ik how it feels to lose from a completely winning position (especially when you know you're winning). :c
How do newbies even know what chess engines are? This claim seems dubious. What data are you basing this on?
'insainly'?
Oh, another typo. Sorry :(

It's not enough to know that you should do it. Everybody knows it. It's essential to actually do it AND do it the right way. That's the point of the video.
