This is awesome, I watched a live brodcast a few days ago, where you guys lost the 2000 rating, and it was awesome listening to you explaining to him, what he could do or should do, and the "Don't get forked". It was awesome to watch, and I've been playing chess with a really good friend that is 1900-2000 rated, and I've always been a 800 rated player, and I never win against him, now I've made a new years resolution, to try to get 1500 rating this year, so that I can give him some more competition, I've reached 1250 rating in bliz and made a tactical record from 1000 to 1650. I really enjoy watching these videos of GM varuzhan akobian, but you sir, I can't wait for you're next lesson thank you :)
This series has improved my game more than anything before. I would love to see more lichess studies with the videos! Thank you so much for creating and sharing! Seriously you guys are the best!
in desperado best for white seems to be to take black's pawn that's protected by the king, 1st you get the pawn back and its check so king killing white queen suface out then you kill the queen with bishop if he take with the rook you take his knight with the pawn
Tactics cheat sheet! Helpful for blitz, risky for serious games. Any tips for applying tactics to a careful, calculated opponent? I'm a hyper offensive player so it's hard for me not to blunder when I attempt to set a sneaky trap.
@@RobertKaucher After 18:04 Black to move, looks like c5 trades off pieces so black is still up material (looks like an entire rook) because where will the bishop go? If ignored i'm taking on d4 next.
@@Stuckinair But it needs to be considered because it would not be instructive to suggest white would have any compensation in the position (as said in the video) when white has absolutely nothing. I find it a bit misleading.
Awesome series - can't wait to see more
Such a great series on learning chess.

LET'S GOOOO

What's your rating now
What's your trying now?
I'm for ages on the way to 2000, and I never ever came closer than 1500.
But I keep watching this, because the teacher is soooo cuuuute. 😻🙋

Hey Caleb you are an awesome instructor...and the way you put your lectures together are phenomenal...your explanations make it easier to understand
Thanks! Best instructor since Seirawan and Finegold! (Ramirez is also great!)
Awesome content and well explained in a calm and relaxed manner. You clearly prepared well for this!
Just congratulate myself to have a coach such as Caleb. Thanks a lot.
Wow thanks for uploading this to lichess!

Fantastic video 🔥
Great stuff thanks I want to see more videos like this one.
Desperado means bandit. The word for desperate is "desesperado".

Is this GM Ken West speaking in the audience? Definitely (besides Arjun), one of my heroes from Ben Finegolds videos :)
Great lesson. Well delivered.
Awesome lesson. Thank you!
hes a great teacher fr
Wow, goldmine video
thanks you so much master
At 13:00 Black can respond with QxH4? if rook captures QH4 it's check mate rook capturesB1. Don't calculate if white doesn't capture though
17:56 - what if Rxc3 or bxc3? Then Rfxd8 and it's rather equal I must say.
Can you please put the ratings this would be suggested for in the description
@27:36 why not b4? Discovered attack rook trade?
When your next video on tactics coming plz plz
17:19
why white can't exchange knight for bishob and will not lose any piece
At 17:55 , white can simply capture on c3 right ??
At 17:46 Qg7 is strong
Desperado is not spanish, desesperado is spanish...
18:04 Is c5 not strong here? White won't win the piece surely?
Faz Naz123 either your time in the video is wrong or you're referring to the wrong square.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the square c5 not the move ... c5.

Your last name reminds me of Dumphy from Family Ties ….
Hello Saint Louis Chess Club!
He’s im?
The xray (13 minutes) is flawed Caleb shows Qxp and it loses. But, if Pxp there is no loss
I knew I was straight
watchig chess vids only for Freudian slips
Hi
this tiktoker looks like u but a womban
At 17:55 , white can simply capture on c3 right ??
Then black will be up a pawn
