After a student made dud move, my old high school chess coach used to stare at the board like he had indigestion, shift his head back an inch or two and say: "That's got to be bad." Then he'd tear them up like this.
Superb episode! One of the things that's becoming more ingrained in me after watching these is not to fall too in love with my initial calculations, sometimes lines dont work and I often have a hard time letting go 😅
Thanks for your instructive videos. I like your “thinking aloud” method. Often, I get confused during a game. So, it is helpful to listen to the thinking process of a master level player.
Can you organize these by rating like other speedrunners? Daniel Naroditsky did so and I think it definitely increased his overall engagement and popularity with the community. Just a thought considering most people here would agree you deserve a larger community, and a series would be a way to try to do that.
That position in the thumbnail looks almost identical to a line in the delayed Alapin, ive gotten to it twice and won, black never took on a2, but its the same idea, you give black a bunch of pawns and even a bishop in some cases for a devastating attack, but black has alot of resources if he can find them
My issue is often, that i know that the move is not right, it has to be wrong. But what is the refutation? How do i exploid it and prove that it is wrong?
Hi coach, what do you mean by studying Morphy ? Do I have to play his romantic and sometimes dubious opening ? If I'm a d4 player, is it relevant to study Morphy ? How can studying a player be relevant if we don't have the same style of chess ( and the same repertoire ) ? I ask these choking questions voluntarily because I think there is a misconception. I have studied a lot of game ( and I know by heart some of these games ) from Mikhail tal with Scicillian and Kasparov with the KID. But when the opponent is clearly out of theory, I feel my intuition is more relevant than my knowledge because none of the games I play are similar to the games of the Top players I studied. Great video by the way !
The main thing I've learned from Morphy (and Coach Toth of course) is to prioritize harmonious development over material. Kasparov's games are like Latin to me, just so above my head. Morphy is much easier for the beginner, imo
Glad that developing moves work in the end! You made me a believer many videos ago. Merry Christmas!
Classic Morphy - NN game. Nicely done.

@@derekluna7700 will do. For the time being the rating range is in each thumbnail

Coach enjoying himself!! Ahh, I bought your Slav-Course with video and it's great!!!
Great teaching. As others have said it is incredibly valuable to hear you verbalise your thinking during these games.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
This looks like one of Morphy's games against his uncle or something 😂
Exactly !❤
Great game.
@@brainwreck667 thanks !
Coach I have emailed you about private coaching. Are you still doing this? Going to study morphy games for sure!
My issue is often, that i know that the move is not right, it has to be wrong. But what is the refutation? How do i exploid it and prove that it is wrong?
Maybe figuring out WHY it is not good may help.

Where the heck are these opponent's when I am playing. I see 900s that play substantively better.
