    I do recommend playing uncommon openings that focus on fighting for the center. London system will be detrimental for your development and will cause you to plateau because you falsely learn that you don't have to fight for the center.

    Congratulations! How much do you think quicker time controls have helped or hindered your progress in rapid?

    • @LightSquares
      @LightSquares  Год назад +2

      A 2100 FIDE player told me once there is no calculation without intuition. Playing a few thousand blitz games and analysing at least one error from each has definitely helped me look for candidate moves in slower chess.

    Congratulations on 1700! I know you hate gambits but I think you would like the Stockfish Gambit after 1.b3 e5 2.Bb2 Nc6 3.e3 d5 4.Bb5 Ne7!? with the idea of 5.Bxd5 a6 6.Bxc6 Nxc6 7.Bb2 Qg5! with counterplay on the kingside for Black. I know your chessable course avoids this but I think you would enjoy it from the Black side

    • @LightSquares
      @LightSquares  Год назад +2

      Nice idea, I feel b6 against 1. b3 is a little passive so will give it a go in blitz games.

    Until now i have been progressing at about your pace, hitting 1500 and 1600 just when you did. However you beat me to 1700 quite significantly since i am still barely 1650. Ill try to catch you up soon.

    Just because you don't understand and spend time learning gambits which cause you to defeat not because it's weak to causes you time to think.If you study the theory then gambits like queen gambit will give you a much better time to reach higher level in chess than b3.

    • @LightSquares
      @LightSquares  Год назад

      It's a matter of taste, I don't want unstable positions in small time controls. Also QG is not really a gambit. White is not offering a pawn advantage.

    • @orionnguyen9546
      @orionnguyen9546 Год назад

      @@LightSquares yes it is, in some case in slav and catalan territories, they offer a pawn for a huge center and piece activity.

    Nah the best way to reach 1700 rapid is by making a lichess account and playing rapid there

  • @SnapThority
    @SnapThority Год назад

    It's the opposite for me, I get bored in regular positions and slip up due to my boredom
    Hence, gambits!
