Yes, but only the interesting ones. There are still many blunders from my side and my opponents', so they are not worth making video about. But I will continue my road to 2000 :)
I think your background in science should let you learn bettsr in a top-down manner. Start with strategy, then go on openings & find the most likely tactics that occur on your chosen opening. Finally, study the end game positions that would likely occur in your chosen openings. Everything ties together.
In the second game ...Nd7 was not positional blunder, but tactical blunder because of d6-...Bxd6-Qd2 and you cannot defend against two heavy pieces lined up on the d-file. You opponent also missed this. If you could see such tactical nuances you would dramatically improve your game
Hi Luka, thanks for positing. I followed your analysis, though I am not sure if the reason for the errors/blunders were just being adult chess player. I think a key problem is that in these rapid games you just don't have enough time to think in critical positions. Take the first game for example. You missed the correct continuation in a very critical position, but you hardly had enough time to list candidate moves, analyze, prove for yourself your choice is the best you can come up with, etc. Perhaps focusing on longer games will be a more fruitful exercise to help get back in shape.
Hi, Luka, I think this series of blunders is only natural, analogous to the performance drop some athletes experience before achieving records. I trust that soon your chess set point will reach a higher level. Anyway, rationalizing blunders, in my opinion, serves little purpose. As you have taught us, there is a huge difference between chess skill and knowledge, and rationalization falls into the latter category. To impact the former, in my opinion, there's only training with spaced repetition and board vision. There's no escaping it...
I agree. I am not even trying to rationalize blunders, it's just that I've decided to analyse all my rapid games on the channel, so I have to show blunders as well. I also keep doing my tactical traning with spaced repetition
I think a true athlete is revealed in times of injury (in this case, consecutive blunders), and I believe you have the qualities of a true athlete to overcome these moments, which, I repeat, are only physiological dips before positive peaks 😊
are you done with the soviet school of chess series ? i have the soviet chess primer and was reading it with the videos and hope you continue!!!
I know they are painfull but they may be even more usefull to go in great detail every move because you can learn more from losses than from wins.
Please Post More Often !!
Don't give up! Are you going to post more games?

Maybe try Arena Grandmaster, the Fide online title.

Hi. I am on my way to 2000 in 10 + 0 rapid. I'm hovering around 1945 if you want to play any rapid format.
bros dont give up we all will make it!
