    Love these guys. They both do exactly the kind of instruction that I craved when I first played chess 50 years ago as a schoolkid but never got answers. And here I am, later in life, enjoying coming back to the game. Cheers guys, really appreciate your content!

    Here's a funny thing to think about: because Dr. Can and Coach Andras are on other sides of the world, as they film this podcast they are sitting upside down from each other, not unlike two astronauts. :) Both of you put out so much content and material, it's overwhelming at times.

  • @samuelsiltanen4949

    Thanks for the video. Being a subscriber to both coaches' channels, I had high expectations. However, I think that candid and honest feedback is important both in chess and producing RUclips-videos. So I must say that I didn't find this video as enlightening as your other videos. Perhaps it is this format where there are two persons, which is challenging. Now I often felt that Andras had something to say, but could not quite get it out of his mouth. I would either make it a pure interview (like Ben Johnson's Perpetual Chess Podcast) or a free-form discussion without set structure (like Dojo Talks). But to put things in perspective, I absolutely love both of your channels and the unique chess content that you produce, especially the cognitive science insights.

    • @Dr.CansClinic
      @Dr.CansClinic  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you for the feedback. I hear you. Please keep in mind this was my first ever interview while also showing positions. Things will improve over time. 80% of my subscribers wanted us to show positions during this talk. I think it was obvious that I was presenting the positions while Andras was giving feedback - thus I was talking more and laying my thoughts. There is a possibility Andras will publish a followup video on his channel where he talks more.
      Thanks again for your honest feedback!

    @GaryWalters-tk2lp 5 месяцев назад +2

    How could you not enjoy this collaboration, even though some of the positions were quite simple we've still been able to pick up so much!
    To name just a few, when your the aggressor never underestimate your opponents possible threats, after you've calculated your line recalculate each move as you play just incase you've missed something, learn your mating patterns such as the swallow or dovetail mates with the queen as their easy to overlook in the centre of the board and don't automatically assume we have to move an attacked piece we can often develop one of our own pieces by counter attacking.
    I hope you two get together again and tackle some of the more advanced patterns/positional oppertunites that I assume we as mere mortals overlook, loved it guys 👍

    In correspondence games, part of me wants to try asking all 17 questions every move. Especially given how widely applicable these questions are

    • @Dr.CansClinic
      @Dr.CansClinic  4 месяца назад

      Correspondence is a good medium for it. The only issue is you need to train your ability to recognize which questions the position is warranting and flexibly apply those questions. ☺️

  • @Joe-y4e2p
    @Joe-y4e2p 4 месяца назад

    Thank you for your instructive chess understanding and thought processing/evaluation techniques that sharpen and hone the fundamentals of the game by asking the right question "what move would my opponent play if they could move right now. something I was doing, but not on every move they made. I see now that is critical to do so on each move they make. Also blunder checking is another I do but typicaly only one move thinking but really at least 2-3 moves are needed to not only blunder check my pieces but how to have my opponent possibly blunder theirs. I have really only been playing chess for about a year now and am the point where my elo is climbing consistantly even beating players ranked at like 1150 300+ more than me ranked around 845 mostly becase I used to blunder my queen often and videos such as yours have gotten me from having been as low as 200-300elo to where i am now. I utilize daily puzzles and have worked my way up to 1800+ and have remained here now for several weeks which is very frustrating because I have difficulty going higher yet satisfying knowing I can solve half the puzzels which keeps me in the 1800 range and how far I have come in such a relatively short time thanks to a variety of different helpful youtube chanels like yours. Much apreciated and I have suscribed to your chanel a few days ago and look forward to more of your benificial content.

    When Andras said, that in some situations you don't want to be greedy but greedier, well sir, that's what happened to me after hearing, that Andras is preparing CPR 4 and you are working to publish new courses. I've already have CPR 1-3 and 9 of your courses - but I got greedier. My only apology is, that these courses are so fenomenally good, that you can't possibly resist the temptetation to have more of that good stuff.😁

    It was great epizode and great ideas for beginners. BUt there is another big topic to discuss. And it is evaluation and how to choose right plan and how to know that the plan has good chances to be succesful in the position. Because that is what is a most difficukt thing for beginners and for me too in my humble opinion. I can quite easily count material and see who is ahead. But correctly evaluate things and answer questions like: Is this Attack decisive or long lasting at least? Is this iniciative decisive or long lasting at least? Is it worth for this attack or initiative invest some material (pawn,two pawns,piece) ? Is it better to go for perpetual or continue with my attack after sacrifice for example? Is my attack winning or good just for draw? How to improve your positional feeling and your chess intuition? I will be happy to see a topic about hese themes. Thank you.

    • @Dr.CansClinic
      @Dr.CansClinic  5 месяцев назад +1

      Absolutely! There are so many other interesting questions and decisions. Have you checked this course? www.chessable.com/the-value-of-pawns-evaluating-material-quality-and-time/course/121069/
      It is about evaluating resulting position in terms of material, quality and time.
      Have you checked my "Attacking the Castled King" playlist on YT? That will give good insights on your questions.

    Sir, excellent project 🎉,
    but as one of my colleagues commented, you’re a little too fast while giving the analysis ;
    Considering giving intro or concluding the session at a fast pace, but during the analysis kindly go little slower, so that one gets a clear picture of the board and absorb the analysis. Of course I believe one will listen again and again, take notes, and practice the moves multiple times !
    Is it possible to use arrows, showing candidate, threats & blunder moves in different colours ?!!
    Also, if possible, if these moves are from a real game, please mention from which game these puzzles are taken so that one can also study the entire game !
    Finally, it’s excellent content;
    👍👍

    • @prasadarao3065
      @prasadarao3065 5 месяцев назад

      Sir,
      Thank you for your reply.
      Frequently missed by the higher rated players are capture a piece at a1-h1-a8-h8 corners (wins a piece), sacrifice of a rook generally to a knight straight down (requires calculation, but wins a game), and a pawn move (gives an advantage);
      Use of the coloured arrows broadens VISION FIELD (useful in all formats), and sharpens REFLEX Action in rapid & blitz formats);
      (Tennis analogy is cross court, down the line, and a drop shot winners 🙈);
      Using repeated exercises with coloured arrows, one may not miss the situation of a both GMs In Kasparov game missing rook capture at h8, and your student going for a FAMILIAR knight capture but missing a NOT Familiar mate ( multiple coloured arrows - by drawing arrows to check for candidate move among many captures available) !
      Thank you for your top top videos of very high level content !!
