My favorite thing about 800's is the inconsistency. They generally play fairly poorly, but occasionally out comes these nuggets of absolute genius out of nowhere.
@@JoeSmith-qy6qo back when I was a cracked 600 elo player I was getting consistent 60% games accuracy and still losing I don't know how I'm losing so many 600 elo games with 60% only at 800 I feel people play consistent 800 I was fighting crackhead 600 elo players who didn't want to lose any more elo and played 80% accuracy chess

Constructive criticism: I couldn’t enjoy the episode as much as I had seen parts in the clips channel. Either upload clips after the main video or don’t upload spoiling clips at all in my opinion.
I have a great story about this series I was rewatching an old Guess The ELO video, as one does, I think it was the one called Worst Ever. Anyway, right after the video I was inspired to play a match of chess. And immediately got a position really similar to one of the games in the video! So I knew exactly what I had to do and got an amazing advantage, traded off the rest of the pieces and won up a bishop and a knight when he reigned. It was the game where the sub pushed b2 to b4 and got hit by QtoA4 check, with a knight behind the queen. And I won! Thank you Gotham ♥️
11:42 Why is H4 such a good move? I am new to chess and am trying to learn. I don't really understand why it is so good when it only attacks one square
Since you long castled, you don't care about those pawns, and it threatens black king's safety. If you damage his king's pawn structure he can be fucked real quick
The idea isn't just H4. Its H4 then H5 then HxG6 or H6 if the opponent allows it. Also bringing in your g pawn for the attack. Basically, using the pawns that aren't very important to you to attack the pawns that are most important to the opponent.
The other 2 responses gave most of the reasons why in this position (and in other similar positions, i.e attacking with opposite castles) you want to push your pawns towards the king. But I'll give some other (I hope relevant) other reasons. If you can push your pawns and ecxhange them with your opponent's pawns, it will lead to open files/diagonals to exploit with your pieces. Or it can force your opponent to push their own pawns to prevent you from doing so. But this will make some near the king squares weak (i.e that can't be controlled by any of their pawn). Such squares are really important, because they are "outpost" where you can install one of your pieces and proceed with the attack. So, with what have been said (by the other as well), why should we push the h pawn in this position (and not the g pawn), and how to determine what pawn to push in general ? Here pushing the g pawn first doesn't do much; It doesn't threaten any pawn exchange (even if it goes to g5), doesn't open any file nor any interesting diagonal to attack, and doesn't help to stabilize a piece on an outpost. On the other hand, pushing the h pawn threaten to exchange it with black's g pawn and open up the h file. Or even going all the way to h6 and forcing the king into the corner (it could be useful in some instances I guess). Generally speaking you have to consider the columns you are opening, the pawn structures that could result when exchanging, and of course wheter the pawn will be able to go forward (can you secure the pawn push ? can your opponent block your pawn before it reaches a relevant square ?), and of course if you can check the tactics it's always good, as for every move.
So good to see another guess the elo. Would be absolutely delighted if you did another bunch of rating ladder climbs someday--always thought seeing multiple games from a similar position was really instructive :)
playing scenes again in the movies does actually happen in some african countries, where movies are neither subtitled nor translated - but rather a dude with a microphone stands in the corner of the stage and live-explains the action on the screen. If that guy feels people didnt understand what just happened or the scene was very cool, he would hit instant replay. I kid you not.
I just realize.... my life is a never ending guess the elo episode. Just today my opponent abandoned the game because I took the queen but he was 1 move away from checkmate and it was his turn.
He means Ng5 to salvage the position by sacrificing the knight to go Qh5 check and create an attack. -2.12 means there is nothing and white is straight up at loss of a piece.
Great stuff as usual, loved it. One thing: could you maybe zoom in on the ratings when you reveal them? They’re kinda hard to read on a phone with my boomer eyes

For the black side, I can not recommend more Jonathan Schrantz’s video series “the fiesty French.” I personally was a French hater, but now it’s part of my main repertoire
@@sgrey9181 Ok, I just need a weapon to beat the French Defense after they defend the pawn and do not accept my Blackmar-Deimer lol, apart from that when its 1.e4 e6 I sometimes do the Wing Gambit.
@@EpicGamerX got it. If you want to play gambits as white I recommend e4 instead of d4. There isn’t a good reply to the French as white without you knowing an uncomfortable amount of theory in my experience, and I say this as a 1650 USCF player. There is one tool with e4 against the French defense I would recommend - the two knights attack. It goes: 1. e4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Nf3 I would say you don’t even need an openings course for the two knights, the plans are just very intuitive. Lmk tho if this variation is confusing for you and I’ll do my best to fill in any gaps
the answer of why he was advancing g and b pawns i know the answer cuz i was doing this when i was beginer thinking i was renforcing my defense by giving space for my bishop and being able to put them on fiancheto
