1:42 You rarely if ever play c3 on the third move, try to focus on the main chess principles, development for example. The theory here goes Bf4 first, although principles & tactics are most important for you now. If you’d like I could give you some more tips, feel free to reach out (I’m dutch as well)
Thanks for the tip, Valentijn! You’ll see it in a couple more videos because I pre-recorded it, but I’ll try to focus on this. Thanks for the tip. Can I reach out here on YT? I am always interested in learning more. 😁
On move 14. you could have played Bb5 and having a skewer against Q and K if he captures your queen you take his with check and forking the king and a rook on a8. If he captures your bishop, you simply recap with your queen. Both ways you would be up in material.
On move 16. you should follow the idea of checks, captures and attacks. There's Ne5+ and then you can capture his bishop. When you eventually saw that it was too late.
All solid plays and I should have went for it, might be the reason I am only close to only 400 ELO, haha. I need to be a little more on point the next games. 😂
@@yorrinvdg I recommend doing chess puzzles as daily basis to help you see these tactics. I think the problem is that here's a lot of tunnel vision focusing only on certain pieces or sections of the board. It can be also helpful to watch videos of speed runs - my favorites are Chess Vibes and Eric Rosen.
@@jeffreyburrows9157 Funny that you mention it! I've started reading the book from Levy Rozman (Gotham Chess) and due to this book I've started playing puzzles, haha. I will most definitely check out the channels that you've mentioned, I truly do appreciate the recommendations and tips/tricks. 😎
You could make these more interesting by putting on some kind of character. Like be the most cocky 300 elo rated player ever. Aggressively talk trash. That would be funny. Or something like that. It would keep my attention.
Thanks for the suggestion! I get that adding a character might make things more entertaining, but I believe in staying true to who I am. Playing a role just to keep people engaged wouldn’t feel authentic, and I’d rather connect with viewers who appreciate my calm and curious approach. It might not be flashy, but I’m focused on building an audience that resonates with that vibe. I know it’s not for everyone, but for me, it’s the right path. I'm still new to this, so my personality will shine through more with time. I’m in the adjusting phase right now, but stick around-you might end up enjoying it. And if not, that's okay too.

If he plays 7. g5 you capture with your pawn and if he recaptures, it's YOUR turn and you capture his rook. He cannot make two moves in his turn.
