      I agree.
      Tho the psychologist in me wants to nitpick on your comment:
      Memory can be very specific. If you see millions of chess positions then your brain is trained towards that type of information.
      Additionally people often do not train the memory, but train their mmnemo techniques.
      I am not sure if there is a general memory as it is also tied together with meaning. As soon as i started to see Years and dates as important to rememebr it was much easier to recall them. And the more dates i know the easier it gets as it is all interconnected and i ahve more possible connections to remember it.

  • @alexwiththeglasses
    @alexwiththeglasses 3 года назад +6

    32:06 - apologizing for the play not being great today… but what an important lesson for me as a beginner! Players at higher levels memorize theory without also associating the why at the same time, or simply misremember and play too fast (without at least double-checking for the fairly obvious in this case). Moreover, this happens even when going into black’s chosen defense even in the first 10 moves!
    To me it makes a strong case to emphasize my understanding of opening moves as a foundational aspect, in contrast to memorizing vague “opening principles” and floundering to apply them when exceptions are so common.
    So thank you GM Danya for the valuable lesson!

    Man I have a story from my first tournament that just sickens me to this day. I was playing a Tigris Modern and somehow playing it darn near perfectly, in my second ever game and versus a 1250 player. At one point I felt like the best move was to castle but I saw what I thought was an opportunity to win his rook. I sat there for a long time calculating multiple lines to make sure it was okay then took on b2 with my bishop. He looked really confused and I'm like "Hell yeah, I got him." He thought for a really long time and with each minute I was more sure that I got him. Then he just play rook a2. You see, somehow despite spending like 10 minutes calculating I missed the very simple fact that he had already pushed his a pawn. My heart dropped. In that game I fought back multiple times and kept making stupid blunders right as I had a chance to equalize. The last one I literally just put my rook in the path of his bishop. I just laughed and resign. Later he came up to me and said he had analyzed the game and was amazed that he managed to win. He said outside of the really dumb blunders I played all top one or two engine moves. I didn't know whether to be proud or more upset by learning that haha. Oh yeah and castling was the top engine move when I thought I had the rook trapped. I think I was -2 at that point.

In my experience this is how "by the book" players often fail in lower levels: they are perfect until they go off script.

    The aspect I dislike most about chess is prep. I do not want to learn a million opening lines, I do not think that is enjoyable.
    I would love a variation of chess where both you and your opponent agree to a specific opening, and switch sides after the first game. I'm not saying this should supplant mainline chess, just that it would be a fun variant.

    About GM 1 move blunders.
    I don't understand how people think this can't happen. Its amazing what everyone misses on a daily basis that is right out in the open. Awareness levels of modern humans is extremely low. Soft lives have led to this. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

      @@tenzin9327 Think just cause it's unambitious for a white opening and associated with system players, as the most popular one, who only know how to do one thing/play them without understanding the point of that structure kind of thing
