There's so much to enjoy here - yes, there is a vast rating mismatch and you could win in any number of ways, but the fact you go for the most savage and direct (extracting the most calculation/visualisation juice in the process) is testament to your approach as a coach. Improvement starts at the edge of comfort - stretch yourself, challenge yourself to be better, and Sensei Andras will smile down upon you. Great video coach!
I held off on watching this because it was at a lower elo but I am so glad I watched this video. Holy cow, i didnt think so much knowledge could be given in 24 mins. Good stuff, Coach.
Amazing videos, I watched this and the one older (advance your chess pattern recognition) and I play so much better. I'm low ranked but honestly I don't care that much about the rating because I was winning here and there but now I play so much better positions and even if I lose I don't feel so bad because I tried some tactic or idea. Winning is of course nicer, but for me all I want is to play chess with some plan and the advice that we should not observe current position on the board to make a move, but to try to see "in future" was really a game changer for me. We will see how much I will climb.
I play the Danish and love it. But it is one of those openings where a miscalculation can be costly. Thank you for being honest and showing that even an IM can miscalculate. Makes me feel better for some of the times I missed something.😊
The Danish is a great opening. After a couple of years playing I've gone from 800 to 1600 and it's still my main weapon along with the Scotch. I know it's dubious at higher levels but there are lots of trappy lines which can get quick wins.
Strange resignation in the first game, but I get all kinds of strange resignations from my opponents. I recently had a game where I was up two pawns as Black, but my opponent had the bishop pair and I had a lot of weak squares in the centre. He easily had compensation for one pawn for two? - I found that questionable. In any case, not easy to play at all, yet my opponent just resigned! The computer afterwards told me I had an advantage of about -0.9.
Hi @ChessCoach Andras, I noticed during the game you didn't castle, because you were on the attack. My understanding is, castling early on in the game gets your King to safety, so THEN you can attack. This is what is commonly taught as a basic chess fundamental principle. Could you please explain more about how, when and why we castle in another video?
The safety of your king is defined and directly related to the safety of your opponent's king. A king cannot be considered safe or unsafe on its own, you must evaluate the position you are playing and the vulnerability of the opponent's king as well. I recommend his course on Chessable, King Safety, as it explains this concept very well.
Great speech about the doubled pawns. Many need to hear this… and then they need to believe it.
I'm 1800+ but I still find this instructive! ❤

Thank you, I feel this comment is also in a league of its own! I feel both humbled and inspired! Thanks! :)
The CPR series is great, and this speedrun is an excellent way to make it even more concrete.
Thank you kindly!

Amazing attacking chess. Don't forget to add to the playlist!
That first game was a spectacular display of an IM at work. Bravo, Coach 😉
1:30 "Best move " was comedic Peak
Another fabulous video - highly instructive - thank you
Thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for explaining these concepts so clearly
I love this series can’t wait for the next vid
you're a great teacher, Coach. Loved the video
You are going to make me an attacker! Please keep sharing.

Game two was so instructive. I would have worried about the doubled pawns and not made the right move.
This was great, much appreciated!

Thanks for this nice Instructive video
Keep continuing this series much love❤
As a 1600 I'm loving this!
Great lesson
Great lesson, as always!
since you plan on playing Gambits - I'd love to see you play the Scotch Gambit :)
Good video as always!

Watching again...multiple exposures.
Please, please, PLEASE give us a Chessable course on EVALUATING POSITIONS???!!!😢

@@Unscripted9thank you for helping me understand.
I do want to get that course as well as his CPR course.
I had an opponent who resigned after 6 moves, I don't know why, but I won a game where both players played with 100% accuracy
