Same here. I feel quite normal knowing that more people struggle finding some moves that other chess youtubers just naturally see. Still learning. Hope you get a lot of elo, brother.
I like how when you developed the knight to attack the queen you took extra care to work out that opponent doesn’t have a counter attack or check and the only way he can attack the undefended knight is by no longer defending the bishop. you create two undefended pieces, that is fine if opponent has no direct checks or threats. That could have easily gone bad if opponent had a check available and then could take the bishop on the next move but he didn’t in this case. I like the creativity. The higher rated players would probably say, “I’m up a rook” and just be happy to trade down to a winnable end game snd use their advantage to get a queen and win the game and not look for moves that increase the complexity but your style is much more fun than winning every time you’re up a rook. Haha. Anyway, your attacking ideas and thoughts are really good. “verrrrdy aggreeeeaaassive “as Teddy KGB from Rounders would say. You would be so high rated if you had a voice in your head that thought defensively and worried about what opponent could do that your other attacking voice could overrule most of the time but listen to just often enough to not give away the game.
That's a bad habit, there will be moments where h6 is a good move but playing it too early will cause you problems, not only are you wasting a move but you weaken your king
Haha thanks for that awesome reminder at the end of not needing to grind while tilted. I struggle with this too. I will actually not play for an entire week because I'm too anxious to lose. It's a problem.
I'm to cheap to pay for more than one review a day so I usually just play one game a day, win or lose. It helps with the tilt. One habit I have is always giving my King a escape opening from backrow attacks. That was taught to me through many loses back when playing my dad. You're really enjoyable to listen to, and I can relate to your playing as well.
lichess is free and you can also shove your chess.com game id into it to get a lichess game review i think? I dont like using it though feels like game is more fun this mystical way lol
The good news is that once you’re like 1200 rated, half the opponents are good enough to quit when they’re behind as badly as you typically have them so you probably would have gained elo here if you were against better opponents 😆
That's mainly because higher elo players trust their equally high elo opponents to find the mate in 1, so forfeiting is a sign of respect. Of course I, a measle low rated not-even-a-chess-player, do not ever forfeit, because nothing is funnier than winning due to the opponent's hubris, and you'll never win against hubris if you show respect.
I lost many advantages because I was low on concentration when my opponents were insistent on continuing. I'm mentally drained and winning is on the horizon, your mind goes blank for a moment. And then suddenly you blunder.
As a probably over 1000 rated player, I think you played the opening really well! You have a good understanding of where strong squares are, and you can recognize vulnerabilities in your opponent's position. What I think got you killed in this game (besides the missed mate in 1, and jump scare checkmate) was that you ended up trading all of your stronger minor pieces for your opponent's weaker ones. What I think happened was that your brain stalled in the middle game; you had a good position but didn't have any idea what to do with it. You started trading everything off and the development lead you established early on vanished. I recommend trying to focus on visualizing an endgame that you want then moving your pieces to achieve that board state. That will help you navigate the middle game without stalling or panicking. So ideas like "he didn't castle yet, let me try to force him to stay in the center with my bishops then trade off the center pawns to expose his vulnerable king", or "all of his pieces are on the queen's side, so lets fuck up his king's side". Actually, never mind. I think I'd recommend ChessPage1's golden rule as the most important thing to work on: Do not blunder.
This video hits home because just like two days ago I spent a whole game playing around a piece that was pinned lol Still won, but for like 10 moves I could've taken a free bishop.
do you guys not know how accuracy works? It is affected by both the players moves. Hikaru played against botez and she got like 19.4 lmao. Do you really think she plays that inaccurately. If you think he's shady, check the game review. Should be hovering around like 100 to 1400 because it has that massive a variance.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so self-aware, intelligent, and forward-thinking that is so bad at chess in terms of elo. It's pretty remarkable. Hilarious video.
They call it simplifying, the moment you have a point advantage, every equal trade of pieces is advantageous, the more so the worse you are at chess. It means the game will end sooner, and there'll be less room for error. You can also think of every doubled pawn as half a point. At 2:34, you should've captured the knight with the bishop (they double a pawn), then the bishop with the knight, castled and there'd be very little for your opponent to do.
@@trivium6720 You have a point, but Black doesn't have to castle. Even if he eventually did, he'd most likely go Nf7 before castling. According to Stockfish playing Bxh6 is the best move by a noticeable margin. Probably because it disallows him to relocate his knight and because it ruins his kingside structure.
me seeing it was mate in 1, waiting for him to say, It was mate in 1, clicking around time stamps only to find out that it was at the end of the video for him to say that it was mate in 1.
This video made it dawn on me why im bad at chess and its very specific. I was watching you. I had no idea your rook was hanging and you were at risk for checkmate. so I thought about it. Just watching your game I didn't see it. I thought to myself that I should probably start looking for things in other peoples games and thats when it hit me. I should start looking for this stuff in my own games. I would have never seen that if it were my game just like im just watching you play. I guess the moral of this oral is dont watch yourself play, dumbly, I play and I miss things, merely because I am watching my own game live as it happens. I suppose dont be a spectator would be better.
i agree once went from 600 to high 700 (like 780 smt) i was like finally improving : D the next fcking day im think i answered to the call of the void cuz in magically at high 400s. IN ONE DAY. IN 24HRS. I. ME WITH 780ISH ELO. WENT FROM "finally, i might have developed by 3rd braincell : )))" to playing russian roulette with my braincells and only tht one shitcell that eat gras when i was 4 survived. but then the next day im back to some how beating nelson once (1-12) but still i did. yay.
Mind playing a game with me? I think I might be in the same boat as U rn I got new acc and I'm in the 700s that's a huge jump from 300 But so far I'm winning some games and losing some I might be able to maintain myself in the 700s
That's actually one of his best traits though. He gets these moments and flashes of brilliance that show he's got potential to go much higher. But it's a flickering little flame and finicky and as a scrub like me there's still plenty of other weaknesses or intermittent blindness syndrome that somehow afflicts all lower rated players lol.
At 5:00 bro saw 20 moves into the future, but missed the mate in 1 on the board. I love this

Chocked on my water from that checkmate 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Me too 💀
Bro got back rank mated trying to back rank mate
I felt so bad listening to your convoluted checkmate plan for an entire minute completely missing the mate in 1 😭
Me too 😭
I know 😭
man that checkmate jumpscared me
Missed the mate in one 😢
I started hyperventilating when I watched that happen 😭
Devastating to witness
I loved the description of the whole plan for what he's going to do if opponent blocks the check with the rook. I was sure he was going to see it lol

It’s like someone who is in prison for fraudulent business practices giving me advice in the stock market.
Put so eloquently
It seems like the major mistake below 1000 is just not looking at the big picture on the board.
Yep. Tunnel vision. You can apply the same concept outside of Chess too. It’s so easy for people to miss the forest for the trees.
True. That's normal. And reason for being below 1000. 😂 😂

At this point I just move my h pawn after I castle just in case. Bank rank mates are a real risk!
