Sicilian Patience | Climbing the Rating Ladder vs. KamrulHasanMilton (1710)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- In this continuation of the "Climbing the Rating Ladder" series I take on players of various ratings levels while pointing out typical mistakes and spots for improvement along the way (possibly my own!? :)). Here I commentate a 10+5 game against a player rated 1710 on Chess.com. White chooses the slightly dubious 6.Be3 against the Classical Sicilian, after which I achieve a comfortable queenless middlegame with a more compact pawn structure. However, I fail to maximize my advantage in the move 15-20 range, and my opponent defends his shaky position well. An endgame grind and mutual time pressure await! #Chess #ChessInstruction #ClimbingTheRatingLadder

Sad to see him spiral into a herbal tea addict. A few bags at first, but then your clearing out the shelves looking for that next hit!
😂
lol
Kamrul played extremely well. Taking John to 60 moves is remarkable.
Yes, sturdy defense from my opponent
wtf Kamrul best 1700 player i've ever seen
John is a scrub not that hard...
CTRL is back! What a wonderful day!
Yea but where’s ALT and DELETE?
CTRL back and I know that John likes Rush too! Doesn't get much better than that
I thought we lost control
@@mikecantreed nice joke
Everything is under CTRL
John is such a good trainer. i really like that he threats the low rating players with the same respect as for high rating players. other masters tend to Blitz out stuff and dont even look at the board while barely explaining .... thanks john. also let me know when you are open for skype training :D
Thank you, Christian! I'm currently engaged mostly in content creation, but please do go to my "About Me" section on my RUclips (might need to pull it up on desktop rather than mobile) and send me a message if you're interested in future coaching.
Love these longer games, gives more time to talk us through your thought process. Learning that even an IM is only playing 2-4 moves out most of the time is eye opening! Gives me hope haha 😎.
This is the greatest series helping me advance my rating. I've gone up 300 points in the last couple months due to these videos. Please please please do not stop them
Congratulations on your progres! I'll keep this series going 👍
Great video, as usual... the en passant pin at the end is truly a beauty; it's so counterintuitive to imagine that one creates a pin by *adding* an obstruction on the same rank, and yet there it is!
Amazing concept, I agree! Highly unusual en-passant prevention - you very rarely see that with the king on the 5th rank. I think it's also striking because of White's rooks doubled on the e-file.
Eagerly awaiting for these climbing the rating Series John !! Very instructive 👍👍 god bless
This is chess heaven. Closed the day yesterday evening (here in Europe) with a stream from John and starting the day with a new video. Delving into the Sicilian while sipping your morning coffee - can it get any better?
Sounds blissful 😁 Hope you enjoeyd the coffee and the chess!
I think it can... But this is pretty awesome too! :D
Dude!!! Climbing the Rating Ladder is the BEST!!! Please Please Please redo it in these times!! 800-1000 5 games- 1000-1200 etc. This series is the most instructive series. Thanks John!
An old subscriber here. I haven't watched your videos for quite a while due to a disabling disease, but you are the man! I like how open you are with viewers, honest in your explanations and your passion for the game, omg.
Thanks for watching again! Sorry to hear about your health problems - best wishes in your recovery.
@@JohnBartholomewChess It is a chronic disease, but you made my Friday a bit better. Will try to follow you as much as possible. Thanks.
I think the ten minute setting worked really well :) Thanks John!
Yes, 10-minute with a nice little 5 second increment was perfect in this one!
At 53, I just have start to learn chess and l love it. If I am practicing often every day or for a million of times, surely l will improve it, or get better at.
What is your rating now?
Where you at right now
As an intermediate player, this series has always been the most helpful, thanks!
Facts!
Thanks for all this content lately, I’m enjoying every minute of it. And that En Pinssant was an awesome idea. That gives me more motivation to really analyze games afterward, so much beautiful stuff could be missed. Cheers
OMG that's amazing John! I'm often playing sicilian so your lesson will be very helpful:D
Would you play with me? I just realised it is more than a decade i played with a female. Not about orientation, i miss playing with women chess somehow.
Oh and sorry for cringe moment.
@@urospeteh2637 This is definitely cringe
@@urospeteh2637 😂okay I'll play you someday!
I second this.
The way you describe your thought process is very helpful to me. Thank you!
Ya same here! He doesn't just make the moves, but really shows why he does what he does!
I appreciate your chill approach to the game, makes it enjoyable to watch!
Hey John, this is guys!!!
Love the CTRL series thanks John, Also enjoying your D4 Chessable course.
I love your CTRL series. Honestly, this series had helped my game more than any other online content and it's why I throw my twitch prone to you even if you haven't been streaming.
I'm so happy to see this series is back. It had the biggest influence over my play and helped me learn how to think about chess. Before these I had little ability to construct a sequence of moves, now I'm pushing forward and getting better.
Thanks John.
Hi John,
great game! Especially, the comp analysis with that surpising pawn to e5 move was a great fun.
I have never seen such a strange pin with two paws between the rook and the king.
En passant 📌 never seen that before.
So cool!!
This game was honestly great. I like how some of the rating ladder videos help with knowing how to look for blunders before they happen, but ones like this where they don't make huge mistakes are really useful for showing how important piece activity and pawn structures can be. It must have taken a lot of focus for a 1700 to play like that for 60+ moves so I'm impressed.
I love your climbing the rating ladder videos! I've watched them all and I'm still hungry for more so was very excited to see this today!
U R about the most instructive teacher on Utube. U explain in straight forward, simple language why you are making each move. I am only about 1400 you are helping my game a lot. Thanks .
Hey John! I'm happy you posted again!
Like the way you held on to your strong central pawn structure and looked for play elsewhere. Taught me a valuable lesson, I often get this position but push too quick. Thanks.
Yeah this was a sick video, much better than other streamers and youtubers who don't provide enough detail. Thanks for the instructive game. Subscribed!
John Climbing the Rating Ladder and Using the Clock as a Weapon are the best series on RUclips you're the man, keep it up boss
Hi John. Since I am going to hit 1700 soon I’ve been facing people above this rating. This video was very helpful to me so you have my gratitude. Looking forward seeing more of “climbing the rating ladder”.
thanks for this. one 10 minute game is worth 100 hours of 1 or 3 minute games in terms of analysis and learning potential. the games are probably better quality too, and in those moments where the opponent is taking time reacting to your moves you have time to mention stuff that comes to mind which just doesn't happen when you have to make a move every 20 seconds.
That en passant pin is awesome 😂
I really enjoyed the final phase of the video where we got to see the engine analysis combined with your own judgements and reactions. The ...e5 idea with the en passant pin was particularly cool!
I love your content bro, so relaxing and instructive!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I second this!
The climbing the ratings videos are fantastic, super helpful! I vote for more against the 800-1200 range, as that's where I am:) I also vote for a video where JB shares his thoughts on optimal tea selection for chess mastery (I say Irish Breakfast before 8PM, Peppermint thereafter so as not to disrupt sleep).
Amazing video. Learned a ton. Thanks John!
Wow, this en passant pin was the most beautiful thing. Could be as a puzzle, and for sure could be enough of a reason to watch this video.
Thanks for the 10+5 format. I have to keep pausing, even sometimes scroll back, for my shrinking brain to catch up with anything faster.
Thaank you thank you so much for another climbing the rating ladder!! :D
This is my favorite series. Such great info. Thank you!!
Super instructive, thanks a lot! Love your meta comments about chess such as "calculate 4 moves in advance max."!
So glad to see you on the channel frequently again John.
It's great to be back - cheers!
Damn, a really nice game against Hassan! Superior endgame + connected pawns won the game for you.
Yours is the only chess channel I watch to the end and I always play better afterwards.
First time running into a video from you. Arguably among the most educational ones I have seen in months. Subscribing and looking forward to more. Thank you.
Absolute domination in the endgame. Well done and very instructive.
You’re such a good teacher these days
Many of you don't know but my man started the whole concept of speed run.
John is low key The Best Chess RUclipsr out there
”I actually do like playing those positions for the side that’s administering the suffering...” 😂
Great content John as per usual. I am a big fan of your channel
Keeping this one for the weekend, what a nice surprise John!
Thank you very much for giving us so good instructional content!
One of the most important things to get my head around has been getting a handle on the chess board.
It's a huge help to immediately be able to know where the location of my pieces.
I've been watching a lot of chess games lately and John Bartholomew's analysis always stands as the most instructional ones.
Thanks John, very positionally instructive game!
It's time for coffee, because this was a grind. Nice pawn march at the end.
It's great to see Bangladeshi player!! We love your videos here john
Thanks for tuning in! Much love to viewers in Bangladesh and around the world 🙏
45:30 damn that idea is beautiful
Agreed - I've came back to this video and moment the past couple years specifically due to how unusual and beautiful it is 😀
Excellent game and analysis. Longer time control seems to have brought a quality game, well played by the opponent!
Awesome work...
Love this series..
Good to see you sir..
Yeah, those chess.com ratings for slightly longer time controls are really unassuming. I made it to 1940 in rapid before discovering alot the 1900 to 2000 rated players were either super underrated titled players or cheaters due to the significantly smaller rating pool. Its weird playing without a consistent frame of rating reference!
Super interesting video Minnesota Fins. You certainly don't look like a person who enjoys administrating suffering. Your love of the game is contagious. Can anyone out there in John-land tell me in simple terms what a "horizon thing" is.
Thank you! With "horizon," I'm referring to the depth at which an engine calculates/crunches line. Inevitably there is a bit where it can't accurately forecast further, and in some endgames/closed positions, engines still encounter these "horizon" issues where their evaluation may not be truly correct.
Probably someone more familiar with the mechanics of chess engines can chime in, but that's the gist of it.
@@JohnBartholomewChess Thank you sir for taking the time to explain this to me, I know your a very busy man.
@@nomvanhoutte1998 My pleasure!
The classical Queen blunder has served me for a long time!
And a Rush fan too? Now I’m an even bigger JB fan.
Great game - for instruction, the longer time format works well.
Thank you for the nice content John, I really appreciate having you on RUclips! Can you please give an advice of how to train constructive thinking rather than being taken by frustration which happens to me most of the time :(
Yet another great video, thanks John! Some people start hoarding toilet paper and baking ingredients again in these times, but John stocks up on tea varieties :-). Very good choice!
What I notice, John, is how good you are at predicting your opponent's moves. Any tips on how to train that skill?
I think it's a combo of my level, the fact that I've worked with a ton of amateur players, and played many players in this rating range, too. No shortcuts for that sort of thing!
@@JohnBartholomewChess Guess I'll keep practicing. Thanks!
Thank you so much
Waiting for this
This dude played really well for a 1700
If possible keep the 10+5 format, it makes it easier to follow your thought process and I think it's better for you to explain the position in more detail also. Great video btw!
I want a video of John reviewing the strengths/weaknesses of various types of tea now
Ah yes the famous Shaven-Engine center at 1:40.
Was that an attempt to pronounce Scheveningen? I remember watching a video by Ben Finegold where he was talking about a tournament in Wijk aan Zee. It took me a week to realize he was talking about the dutch tournament instead of their being two consecutive tourney's, haha. Dutch names seem notoriously hard for English speakers.
Since the word includes a hard scraping g sound, I think you could replace this with a 'k' sound. If you don't pronounce the letters in between brackets you could somewhat correctly pronounce it as (e)sca(pe) + fun + (r)ing + an(d)
Haha, it was a half-hearted attempt - thanks for the ocrrect pronunciation :) Dutch names are indeed difficult for English speakers, yes.
Climbing the rating ladder, the best series ever!
Hi John, really great enjoying content lately and i feel like im learning a lot from it. I was wondering if you couldve traded the bishops at 23:16 and played e5? Or maybe its too risky since white gets a passed pawn. Anyways keep up the amazing content and greetings from Denmark :)
If I ever get to visit St Louis, I hope to meet you, JB! Honestly, chess streamers get it; respectful, fam-friendly, and detail-packed analysis with a sense of humor (well, at least the ones I watch: GMHikaru🧡🧡, Levy🧡, Agadmator🧡🧡, GMRobert Hess🧡...oh, and Danny as well!🧡😆). Peace! 👍🏼🧡
Thank you - yes indeed, we're lucky to have a lot of excellent content creators in the chess world! I live in Minneapolis and not St. Louis (Eric Rosen lives there - you might be confusing him with me!), but I do hope we meet someday as well 🙏
15:21 "hopening" lol
Hey John great video was just about to fall asleep but I saw this upload haha. I also play the Classical Sicilian just like Kramnik, its awesome I like starting with 2. Nc6 rather than 2.d6
Nice to see thata an IM cant win easily against a 1700 player. Im 1400 playing 10min on chess.com and im finding out that an single error costs you the game most of the times. Trying to improve here and always find great content from JB. 👏
come for the ratings climb, stay for the rush references
The Return Of The King
#CTRL
Oh man that e5 move was so sweet
I am a simple man. I see a climbing the rating ladder video, I press like.
At my level ( otherwise described as really bad! ) I learn A LOT more when I have the time to think a move over.
Lets take a min and appreciate that description
Haha, I'm glad many people ready descriptions these days!
John's living in the limelight, converting the endgame to big money.
Hey John, on move 48 you said Kf5 would be mate because of the pawn checking on e6, but I'm not seeing it. Couldn't the king escape via f4 after the check? I'm not seeing a forced checkmate further down the line, but I could be wrong tho!
Watching this as I patiently wait for John's new video. John had so much hair back then 😅
😅 Glad you're looking forward to the next vid! I've had some voice issues recently, but I hope to be back soon.
@@JohnBartholomewChess Hope you feel better soon JB. I'm nearly finished with all your past videos 🤠
Eric Rosen hooked John up with his tea connections
Smart guy here, always hear out!
Sheyvenigian - love it
Flexing your tea options
I 100% agree with the premove argument of chess.com vs lichess, lichess for the win!!!
Curious...on move 16, wouldn't taking with the knight be better? Threatening b4 to fork on c2? Thats where my eyes went immediately just wondering because you didn't even talk about it.
At 27:54 I think John means King f5 would have been mate so the King is forced back. I don’t see the mate though. Am I missing something?
thank you
