Aw man Patrick i know this feeling. I nearly quit chess when I dropped from 1490 to 1290. By far the most distraught I ever was by the game was that time, about 2 years in and I wasn’t even 1300 anymore. But it’s the people who realize it’s part of the process and keep going that ultimately overcome those drops. Keep it goin sir 👍
Patrick was born for the fried liver attack. Strangely he didn't know it.
Thanks for the inspiration man! I started my journey after watching your videos. Just finished my road to 1500 today
Patrick, the background music makes me feel sad a bit and feels like it's gonna be a tragedy on the board LOL.
I like to watch chess videos before sleeping. I also like to listen to calm music while sleeping.
Now . I just watch him play chess and fall asleep to it .
That line you reviewed was basically a transposition into a fried liver attack.
Yeah, I was surprised he didn't recognize it. I guess he doesn't see it much.
Fried liver is like week 2. Not year 2
Patrick has discovered Fried Liver attack!
500 days to get here?
If you want to get better at thinking about your opponents next move I would recommended having a few daily games on the go. In these games really take your time (min 3-5 minutes) over each move calculating all your opponents potential next moves and your response. This will slowly then become habit and you will get quicker and quicker at this which will feed into your rapid games.
at 15:51 your opponent missed an easy conversion: instead of the unnecessary Rxg2? he can play Q-g4 threatening mate and your knight. He probably thought that Q-h3 defends both threats but you can just play Qxh3 winning the queen because the pawn is pinned. The only move is g3 and then he captures your knight.
Yeah Qg4 is winning. I looked at the rook sac but the king could worm his way out towards the D-file and f2 was doing a lot to protect the king's escape.
"Failure can teach you much more than winning. You have to lose hundreds of games before you become a good player."
Jose Raul Capablanca
...and even then you might not become a good player.
@@mikel7180 yes
Q to C3 at 13:10 would have been better. You had been talking about that mate threat the whole game and when the knight finally moved you forgot about it 😂
That opening is like the fried liver. A must know if you are a vienna player. Study it because it comes up often. Also happens a lot with the bishops opening which can turn into the haxo gambit...deadly and may also be worth looking into
You have been doing this for 500 days, and over at least the last 300 days, over two-thirds of the process, you haven't improved at all. This might indicate that you're doing something wrong! You might want to consider that, or even address it!
In this game, Qc3 wastes a move. It does literally nothing.
You didn't blunder check when playing b4, and yet again hung material for no reason. You didn't think about it before you played it, only realising that you'd blundered after you did it. You have done this countless times.
Rc5 is a nothing move, you haven't considered your opponent's very basic threat of taking the h-pawn with the queen, after which your knight is hanging, or Nd3 that was played in the game.
Rxc7 was a nice tactic, kudos for finding that.
On move 36, there is no reason not to consider Kc2, which means that when your opponent takes the pawn, you're not in check. Kd2 gives your opponent a tempo for no reason.
Kc1 is pretty bad because it hangs mate in one!
Most of these errors come from failing to assess your opponent's possible moves. It's a basic technique. You have to do it move after move after move. That is just one way that you're going wrong.
its more funny this way and its probably more profitable to be more relatable and never improve or get worse like the main character in Flowers for Algernon
@@PeterChessPupilI wasn't familiar with Flowers for Algernon, but it seems that The Simpsons episode where Homer has a crayon stuck in his brain is very much influenced by it.
I have great admiration for german11 on Lichess, who has played over 650,000 games, plays well over 100 games most days and loses 75% of them.
However, german11 is not on a journey to 2000, nor is Patrick. He hasn't significantly improved any aspect of his play, knowledge or instincts for at least a year.
Great game you almost got it into wining or draw. Pawn would’ve protect pawn and knight. When you are analyzing your last game just press best move button as you can to memorize that and see why it’s best move. First mistake or inaccurate always click best move to understand why it’s best move. Your analyze is alittle bit weird, don’t try to find best move yourself and just click best move and understand why its best move
Patrick, I want to give you some advice but I hope you don’t take it as me being mean or hateful. In my opinion I think you are taking way too long to make moves on the opening part of the game, initial development of the openings should be fast and for the most part memorized, you should be playing an opening at this level that you have done hundreds of times and have every countermove memorized, by the time you get to the middle game you are severally down on time compared to ur opponent because ur wasting time in meaningless moves in the very beginning, at the level of elo u aren’t going to win off openings ur going to win in the middle and end game, by the time you get to the actual game ur so down on time u are rushing through the important moves and losing, trust ur instincts and go faster at the beginning, it’s way more likely you will make a detrimental mistake in the middle and end game than in the beginning, it should only be taking u a minute or 2 at the most to fully develope
There is the real possibility of dropping down in to the 1300’s on day 500 with the wrong matchup … watch out
did you miss his 20 somehting game lose streak a couple of weeks ago? he barely crawled he's way up to 1400s
if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.
You need to get in the habit of pushing f4 before placing your knight on f3, blocking it in. This is a highly thematic move in the Vienna. The way you are playing it isn't really the Vienna at all, it's basically an Italian with the wrong move order.
This is true. However, it was the best move according to the engine. It just stops being the Vienna.
@@drbinglederry9785 who cares what the engine says? unless patrick is capable of following up with 3-4 or four accurate engine follows to justify his move he should play it more thematically.
ahhaahhahaah :D "how does my opponent still have 8 minutes left?!". I have never seen you even slightly lose your cool before this is the closest its ever gotten
That's what I always wonder. If they can play a good 10 minute game in 2 minutes, why are they not higher rated?
@@baka1949 They could be rated higher, but they're impatient, don't use their time, so they have lower rating. Not because they're weaker
I think if you had moved your bishop instead off the knight at 9.49 the rook would have had to move and you could have then moved the bishop again to pin the queen against the other Rook!
You were on the verge of winning, but couldn’t quite get your king safe enough … tough game …
Verge of winning?
@@ClumsyShoulders he was one move away from a checkmate.
@@shanecle This is not how chess works...
@@user-mg4zu7bs6i I get what you mean. All I am saying is that if he could have found a way to get his king safe at the end, or if his opponent had made a slight, positional error, he would have got checkmate.
He was both getting outplayed, but also just one move away from winning at the same time.
Stop blindly pushing pawns forward. Be patient and maneuver your pieces to a better set up.
Good game should have moved pawns to defend king a bit
This song is my favourite☺
Hey Patrick. Enjoying your content - keep it up, you can definitely get to 2000! Let me know if you want to do some collabs/training sessions. My peak is 2250+
you're picking up speed for followers... i would keep going :D
please stop blocking your f pawn in the vienna.
This is just a sad joke….
first...!
Day 500 : Playing chess every day for the coming 10 years and never reach a 1700 rating
Abandoning your king at the end to attack was your downfall
I don't understand the point of you expressing your (supposed) thoughts during the game. Is it to show people how weak players don't understand the game? I said "supposed" because what you're verbalising does not correspond with actual chess thinking.
It's instructive to see how a 1400 online player thinks.
He is a student of the game, like a lot of his viewers.
He is not a chess player. He is just doodling. Exercise in futility
The irony with most of these replies is that chess is the ultimate test of being alone against an opponent who is exploiting every single one of your weaknesses, and here are other random people trying to defend this guy's weaknesses.
@@user-mg4zu7bs6i His reported thoughts are not what is actually going on. You all need to read the book "Move First, Think Later."
