When I was talking to people on the calls, many many beginners said that they think they need to learn middle game strategy. So I decided to make a video like this, specifically adressing that feeling and giving them basic advice, but also taking a moment to explain why they actually need tactics more. Otherwise they‘d be lost in some random grandmasters strategy guide that’s way above their heads
Honestly the “don’t blunder” advice as funny or simple as it sounds it helped a lot. Just make a move that isn’t detrimental, it doesn’t have to win you the game in the spot it just has to make you not immediately lose. Just win two games in pretty brutal fashion. Thank you very much for the videos.
Things to keep note to not blunder in the middlegame: Rupture pawn chains to weaken pawn structure; Moving pawns weakens squares; Always check what pieces can be placed on better squares; Simplify when winning; Complicate when losing; Counter flank attack with central attack; Move king out of exposed diagonals or columns; Always look for active moves before passive moves; When two or more of my opponent pieces is looking to one square on my side, it’s an threat that needs to be controlled or countered; Try to get control of opponent light squares or dark squares (especially if they don’t have a bishop or have a bad bishop); Categorize every opponent move, attacking, defensive, neutral or mistake; Pinning the knight on the opening is a mistake if you have no plans of taking and the opponent hasn’t castled RULES FOR TRADING Do not define tensions on the board except when you get clear advantage (weak square or ruining opponent pawn structure for example); Exchange weak pieces for strong pieces Exchange defensive pieces for attacking pieces DO NOT EXCHANGE GOOD PIECES OR GOOD PAWNS FOR BAD PIECES OR BAD PAWNS; In a trade think about the pieces that will be left over; Antipositional exchanges that gives us something more valuable (a open file, blocking opponent pieces) Try to trade pieces that defend squares to get that weak square for my pieces; Focus on attack the pawn on my most in front pawn (rupture)
@@FredPlanatia I'm also 50/50 on this statement..for example when pinning a white knight on f3 (say in a caro kann game) and you forced your opponent to kick your white square bishop by them playing h3 then g4 seems like a slight win for me since you made their h pawn weak if they decided to castle king side (1100 elo scrub here btw)
@@aldwinferaer2796 Yeah I share the same feeling, especially when you know to not trap your bishop by making an escape square for it whenever the g pawn makes a move.
"Just don't blunder" man I can't tell you how much i needed to hear that. As a 1400 rated player, I blunder a lot of material without even realizing. This guide really helped.
@@nik7426 inaccuracies i guess chess got boring so I don’t play often anymore. I was over 1000 on lichess before so idk and idc anymore. My RUclips feed is plagued with chess content I don’t want to watch.
I just straight up can’t tell how well I’m playing sometimes. I just played a rapid game where I won but it took me like 50 moves to win and I was thinking that I had to pull that one out of my ass, but when I looked at the game review, it said I was never in trouble and I actually had an accuracy of 91% and I had a performance rating of 2300. Thought I was completely losing the whole game
I mean you could be right about that feeling, the position might be pretty difficult to play, the engine doesn't see the game the same as we do. So if you kept making good moves, but one slight inaccuracy would be losing, then the game would be hard to play with the engine saying you were doing completely fine. But you still made very good moves since your performance rating was high.
pretty much every game, the evaluation is going to wonder what either of you are doing, while both of you are reading the board in a whole nother language.

This piece of advice "Find a passive piece and move it to a better square where it is more active" actually got me from 750 (I had fallen from my starting elo to there) up to 950 elo, with 10 games having 8 wins 2 losses. On top of a game where I had 96.8% accuracy along with the london opening.
@@mitigamespro8757 A rating of 1000 in only two months of playing is amazing! Remember to not chase elo points though, it will slow down your progress if you play too many matches per day whilst being tilted. My goal is to get a rating of 2000 FIDE when I’m 15 years old.
Thanks man, i started playing about 3 months ago, just doing random moves and stuff, thanks to you i started actually learning while having fun, and also thanks to you i went up from 800 to 1400 on those 3 months tks mate ❤❤
Men, I have a chess tournament on Saturday, you are saving me with this absolute masterpiece, thank you for this video and the one about the London system, greatings from Switzerland.💪
I swear to god the advice to let your opponent decide which move to play is so fun. I ended up winning because my opponent blundered or because they had no time left so many times. Great tip, thanks man
The "don't blunder" worked so good, i went without a loss for 30 games straight in rapid. Some draw and most i won. Thanks chesspage1! Keep up the good work!❤
i used to blunder pieces all the time until i saw this video. Now i only play against stockfish since i find other humans just boring to play against. Thank you chesspage1!
This video captures something profoundly human-the essence of our shared experiences and emotions. It’s a reminder of how art can bridge the gaps between us and evoke a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. Truly moving
I just wanna say thanks for what you do because your London system video single handedly improved my games as white by about 10 rating points on average. 👍🏻
"So if you can be the guy who just doesn't blunder and also spots the opponent's blunders, you can easily become a very good chess player without having to pull off some complex mastery game plan. Just don't blunder. This will make the big confusion fun. You don't have a game plan, your opponent doesn't have a game plan. Everybody is confused. But confusion means high probability of blunders. And if you don't blunder, you will crush 99% of your opponents." I was nodding my head the entire time I was watching this and can't agree enough how true this is especially in lower ELO. Guy is a true legend
Avoiding hanging pieces and learning to protect your most valuable pieces helps a bunch. Learning how to create pressure and force your opponents to move where you want them is also key.
Personally, I think all this is right, and I might add something: in the opening, you have three tasks - develop you minor pieces, castle, and connect your rooks. Once you’ve done that, you have to jump into the opponent’s half of the board, and play a move that forces them to defend, or any move that makes their position more passive. After that, continue attacking, and set your sights on the king. Most beginners set their sights on the centre of the board, but I reccomend grabbing space, locking the center and launching an attack.
I played like 10 games with your tactics. I lost every games that i played with your opening. But i won all games that i played with your tactics (with my favorite opening)
I actually came here after studying your London System video. I managed to consistently apply the opening but sucks during middle-game. Despite safe-guarding my pieces, I struggled to find how to break the situation. In my latest game just before watching this video, I make like 10 mistakes and 4 blunders... My opponent does 3 but I managed to capitalize on their blunders that I accidentally scored several great and best move 😅 Soo, the first advice is actually insightful for me because it seems I am relatively better at spotting my opponents blunder compared to my own blunder
As a lichess 2200 player, I would say how I play the early part of the middle game is just like I play in the opening,memorizing the moves and plans.Truth to be told,without knowing the plan in advance,I often get outplayed by my opponent.
GothamChess put out a checklist to avoid blunders. After going through that one, I try to find these so called weak squares or pieces in the opponents position and build up strategy from there. It is very valuable to have strategy at lower levels. It gives you a goal to achieve, instead of playing aimlessly. After learning your videos on the London for white and the King‘s Indian for black, which have very clear strategic attacks as part of the opening, my game improved immensely. I like openings, where the analysis doesn’t end in the middle game with the sentence „Now white/black is better“ but rather those that end with „here is a list of possible attacks“ (like you did with the London). Those are like entire war plans disguised as an opening
@ChessPage1 I'm from the south of Brazil, I would just like to congratulate you on the fantastic work you are doing with this channel, I have never seen such a cool channel about chess in my entire life, fun and actually useful. fantastic, fantastic, I hope the channel continues, I wish you every success.
Love these tips! One suggestion though. You teach us openings with strong foundation but why not teach us multiple attacking ideas out of each one?If there is a reason please let me know do I don't go down the wrong path. Just a suggestion, love your vids!
Strategy is a conception of priorities. Often part of planning and preperation. Tactics are practiced methods from your tool box to achieve strategic ends. So in game you have a plan that narrows from your preperation as the situation develops. You follow the game plan or narrow for the situation until your enemey makes a mistake, then you use your toolkit to take advantage and tidy up the situation. Noob the blunder is hang checkmate, blunder queen or several pieces. Midrated, the blunder is hang a minor piece. Higher is hang a few pawns or an unfavourable exchange. Title player is being down a pawn with a structural disadvantage moving towards an endgame. Usually because pieces are to stretched to defend.
it's not even the next video though, I'm still running an experiment so the tactics video might come in 2 weeks or even later. I have other video planned for in between
best video I've ever watched i played an entire game focusing on not blundering. Was up 23 points. Panicked lost a 20 POINT LEAD then redialed in and won with 2 seconds on my clock lmao
I actually improve by using this stratagy My objective in every game is to make the least amount of blunder as possible if I lost a game, I just have to hope that I get 0 or 1 blunder This make playing chess much more fun as you don't have to worry about losing if you aren't bludering
Good video but there's two principles you didnt mention that I always found useful: 1. Trading pieces is good if you are ahead in material, it's bad if you are down in material 2. Trading queens is good if your king less safe than theirs, it's bad if their king is less safe than yours
i hope ur page channels receives the attention man. seriously underated guides. essentially breaking down the strategy. i followed ur london system guide. it was amazing. i kept losing to the 1300 bot and after that video i was able to atleast come to a stalemate position with the bot, . will keep improving, keep doing you brother

Wonderful, wonderful work. I thought your early videos were great, and they only keep getting better!
Yo, do you have a discord? You said you talked over voicechats with people
After you told me not to blunder, I went ahead and won 45 games in a row! Thanks, ChessPage1!
My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that?
How much elo?

Rupture pawn chains to weaken pawn structure;
Moving pawns weakens squares;
Always check what pieces can be placed on better squares;
Simplify when winning;
Complicate when losing;
Counter flank attack with central attack;
Move king out of exposed diagonals or columns;
Always look for active moves before passive moves;
When two or more of my opponent pieces is looking to one square on my side, it’s an threat that needs to be controlled or countered;
Try to get control of opponent light squares or dark squares (especially if they don’t have a bishop or have a bad bishop);
Categorize every opponent move, attacking, defensive, neutral or mistake;
Pinning the knight on the opening is a mistake if you have no plans of taking and the opponent hasn’t castled
RULES FOR TRADING
Do not define tensions on the board except when you get clear advantage (weak square or ruining opponent pawn structure for example);
Exchange weak pieces for strong pieces
Exchange defensive pieces for attacking pieces
DO NOT EXCHANGE GOOD PIECES OR GOOD PAWNS FOR BAD PIECES OR BAD PAWNS;
In a trade think about the pieces that will be left over;
Antipositional exchanges that gives us something more valuable (a open file, blocking opponent pieces)
Try to trade pieces that defend squares to get that weak square for my pieces;
