There are more important rules you can create. For example: learn from/solve your mistakes before your next game. Ideally no computer input. Engine should be used in last stage of your learning to see what have you missed when you can't figure it out by yourself.
“Going through GM games not a part of my study time” - So true. If you’re under 2000 you’re not improving by reading Karpov strategy. You need to look at the dumb mistakes you’re repeatedly making.
Your video helped me alot, I used to be 100 elo and blunder so much I couldn't get past 150, but I finally started getting serious and studying chess after getting motivated by your videos, and after 2 months I'm 800
@@davidpevarpuzzles, puzzles, and more puzzles. Puzzles rush and if you can’t afford a membership puzzle storm. I know I’m late but I hope this still helps.
Can we appreciate how good this youtube video is! You're not just improving your chess, it's actually your youtube video content creation that has moments of brilliance. Good game 👍
With this kind of dedication and focused learning, God only knows what could have been were you to start as a child. Anyone who has these kind of time tested habits and work ethic is bound for tremendous success.
Thanks for being so open and honest in sharing your experiences, really helpful. One interesting point about over-the-board chess is that you and your opponent can talk over the game afterwards (if you both feel like it) and this can help spot other alternative lines or find out what each other was thinking and planning. That can be complementary to analysis on your own later, and may help you remember extra things while they are fresh in your mind. It sounds as if you've already been doing this with some of your fellow club members.
Lots of good stuff here, especially the connections between your own play, what to study, and why game collections and videos don’t automatically qualify as “educational”.
That is good advice. One word you said is very important: remember. The best chess players have excellent memory. They can recall games from decades ago. I have played a lot of games but i forgot about them. So, remember your games folks, take notes or analyse them but dont forget about them.
Thank you for showing your handwritten notes. I have been fascinated by looking at other people’s notes, especially handwritten. Chess always seemed to me one of those tricky subjects where I’m not sure how to write down notes for. Like I have been confused about how to layout the variations etc.
Appreciate you not just covering your insights but also explaining why, because the why matters. For example, you do better analyzing your games at the end of the week and you can still remember what you were thinking during the game days ago. I’m not so good remembering what I was thinking so reviewing sooner or at least writing some notes for later would probably be better.🤔
Hi, Kamryn..., Excellent ! ! Excellent ! ! 100%..., one of your best videos... I learned a lot about studying chess and actually watched the video, not once..., but twice. Thank you for sharing the video and your learning experience... * One chess book that really helps..., "How To Study Chess On Your Own".., by Davorin Kuljasevic. One great chess book... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana P.S.: I am glad that I "Subscribed" to your excellent chess channel... Mike :)
GM Naroditsky also recommends the pen and paper for learning. Back in the day I would write my opening lines down in column format and play them out over a physical board. You could even cover them with a paper as you go along to test yourself.
hey just a suggestion could you make a “study with me” type of video so we could be more motivated? i study chess with normal study with me videos but a chess one would be nice. great video as always ❤
Question for the group. I love the concept of analyzing every loss. My question is can you recommend any books or anything to learn the knowledge to be able to do this? I've noticed every time she talks about it she is already up to around a 1500. I only started playing chess 2 days ago. Only at a 300 for now could use advice on how to build the sturdiest base of knowledge I can. Are there any study guides / workbooks that anyone would recommend. I'm already 37 attempting to learn a very complicated skill. Can definitely use all the help I can find. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for your efforts:) I just saw your video on calculation one of my problems is to know 'when' to calculate, as it can be time consuming to calculate all candidate lines in every single position. is there any tips on that?
Great video. Chess is such a meta game, meaning you don't just analyze while you play, you analyze how you analyzed, etc. My favorite thing about chess is there's no limit to how deep you can go. Even the strongest computers will never solve chess.
On taking occasional breaks. I know it depends but how often and how long? Do you schedule time off like a day off a week or so, or do you just wait til you feel you need it?
Good video! But: "...I could still "fix" the errors in my thought process. The vibe was much more about determination to not make those mistakes again... " Hmmm... well the vibe is important. (I read somewhere that a real secret to becoming a better tennis player is to hate yourself the right amount when you miss. I always hated myself too much, and in retrospect this was unhelpful.) However the crux of the matter is the "fix", not the vibe. Heisman on Mistakes: A) Why is it a Mistake? B) Why did you make that Mistake? C) Rx: What can you do in future to avoid similar Mistakes? Your high rating hints at B) & C) being quite well done. However, they apparently operate at a subconscious level, as there is no evident documentation of them in your Why I am Losing documents. Perhaps some explicit examples, for those of us who are less gifted at the Asian Art of Self-Criticism?
one of the things that really helped me to stop getting so tilted was learning to really appreciate good chess, even if it was my opponent that is the one that's playing it. I'm 1400 so i don't lose to blunders as often (i definitely get upset at myself when i blunder), but if my opponent plays an amazing game and beats me, instead of getting angry i think "wow, what a game, they played really well" and then i'll have a look at what they did that worked and how i could have responded better. Losing rating sucks but as Kamryn said, every loss is a lesson in disguise if you choose to learn from it.
@@davecorkery haha well if you think about it, every GM has lost thousands of games in their lifetime. We just gotta catch up on all the losses before we catch up on the wins 🤣
Nope. I have no friggin idea after 3 years of moving pieces around. Not gonna quit, but it's getting depressing. My biggest problem is getting people to keep playing me. After 4-5 pathetic games, they ghost me. I like the puzzles, tho. But thanks to Kamryn for a guide.
Chess practice is overrated. Almost everybody is capable to learn and memorize chess move, solve puzzle and improve his game. (What she did, can everybody do, who is dedicated enough)
Your two games a day rule is an important one.
There are more important rules you can create. For example: learn from/solve your mistakes before your next game. Ideally no computer input. Engine should be used in last stage of your learning to see what have you missed when you can't figure it out by yourself.
One game per day + deep analysis (at least 10 minutes) of that game is better than 2 games per day.
Just playing sucks. I have 3 500 hours in CS GO and I am double AK (facit lvl 3-4). Playing mean nothing. U need to study in order to get better
Off I am to play one minute bullet in search of a brilliant move!
This rule is good for me because by following it I have made sure to avoid “tilt” and also make sure I do tactical puzzles training instead.

I like the moments when you show your beautiful physical wooden board & pieces.

You've inspired me to create my first chess-themed study, relaxation, meditation video 🧘♀️ next.
Love this video, thank you

That's amazing, same rule can pretty much be applied for learning anything.
Thanks for making this video.
Some very good insights! I like the tip about using a physical board to develop a better connection with the moves being learned.
A lot of excellent advice here!

Thank Kamryn! With this video I'll beat magnus in no time.
that's great. I bought a lovely chess set and now I have a reason to get it out.
Very good advice. Thank you for sharing!
'An adult learning from scratch'... you truly are an amazing person Mam Kamryn! 😮!!
I've found your approach very helpful. Thank you Kamryn.
I'll try and use your strategy. It seems quite useful and efficient
Thanks!! 👏👏
Awesome!!💖
in order to be good, you have to be obsessed
Show us some of your most recent games from Las Vesgas
It’s amazing what one can accomplish with discipline…. and no kids 😂

great video and info
I peaked at 2200 blitz and haven’t recovered since. I am excited to listen to other chess players on how they are improving
Thanks for your efforts:)
I just saw your video on calculation
one of my problems is to know 'when' to calculate, as it can be time consuming to calculate all candidate lines in every single position.
is there any tips on that?
Great video. Chess is such a meta game, meaning you don't just analyze while you play, you analyze how you analyzed, etc. My favorite thing about chess is there's no limit to how deep you can go. Even the strongest computers will never solve chess.
This video is at least 3 levels deep. You're analyzing how well you're doing at post game analysis.
Thanks
Learning from Mistakes is a good part of this video
Did you make a video on how to analyze your own games, if not, please do.
thx
congrats
Hanging around (and hanging pieces) in and around 800 rapid. I will improve. Some time. ^^
On taking occasional breaks. I know it depends but how often and how long? Do you schedule time off like a day off a week or so, or do you just wait til you feel you need it?
I have been playing Spell Chess all day. That’s not studying. Thanks for the reminder. 😂
Why is chess so great ❤

All study and no play makes jack a dull boy
Here's Johnny!
Any good book recommendations? Chess books, preferably, but I guess others are fine. :P
i feel like whenever i loose a game i get angry and caring about rating How to fix it?

i got a google extension that hides your rating which helped me
@@davidjames149 I should be a PhD by now!
@@davecorkery haha well if you think about it, every GM has lost thousands of games in their lifetime. We just gotta catch up on all the losses before we catch up on the wins 🤣
could you spill the book you read?
Were you getting up earlier to study chess three hours a day? Or did you happen to find three hours in your already busy day?
Hello.. Kamryn.. I wanted to know what your fide rating is?
what should be the thought process ?
Where do you ever find a chess club?
How many time do you learn chess a day and on what do you dedicate this time to ?
1:09 it's literally in the video mate
Ty
I think everyone knows what to do but we are all too lazy. Good video tho
