I am 350 player and anyone 400+ develops properly, castles early, and does these basics well… I keep hearing how 500 players just move random pawns and barely know the rules, and the top chess streamers mock even 800 level chess as total beginners… yet it seems everyone is so much better in real life. At least Anna was surprised by how well he played “for a 400”. Maybe it’s become a lot more competitive recently but to me this is standard 400 level chess. I just don’t think people play as badly as everyone says. Or maybe I’m just much much worse at this game than I think.
I would imagine that if u are lets say 300, you stop playing people, focus on studying + bots, you come back as much better player, it will take time to get to 500. In that time u will be a suprisingly strong 300, 400 etc. Now imagine if you improve to around 1000 from 300. It will take time to reach rank that will represent your skill
Tbh watching chess videos is a good way to improve. I went from a 600 rated player to an 850 rated player just by watching RUclips videos and implementing ideas.
when I started playing chess I got rated 1100 and have only moved up. Don't know how 400 play but ofc they must be having certain knowledge about positioning
I watched this 6 months ago , my elo increased from 320 to 1450 ) yes i used to play chess but i was stuck at 400-600 elo. I just improved my elo by learning openings and ideas like anna is giving)
@ Yes, keep going ) never stop learning something new in chess) when you get to 1500-1800 , it is best to Practise openings and end games )) it’s been 6 months ago 😁 when i wrote this ) i m already 1950 in blitz
as someone who started last week and has been hovering around 350-500, this is super helpful, and it's true that we aren't as bad as most ppl think we are (lmao)
I just returned to chess after 20 years after watching your channel and this helped me right away to play an elegant 300 (me) v 500 game. No blunders and check mated white. So happy, no blunders for the first time today. 🎉 More education so welcomed! My seven year old also started. Thank you. I would enjoy basics on lets say 10 different openings.
immediately won two games in a row after your video. all i needed to hear was ‘ play simple chess ‘. i was too focused this entire time on getting to endgame while in both openings and middle game. thank you.
You're helping me to get over 500 in blitz which is a great achievement for me. You're giving real advice with explanations not the gimmicks I've seen elsewhere. Thank you so much.
@@Makitosenpai It really depends on the person. It all depends on how much you play daily and how long for. A week and a half and at 400 is good since you've just started.
I am 53 and just starting to play chess and it has become my delight. You were the inspiration for me to try it out, I watched your games with others and it looked so fun. I watched this video tonight and I played a computer bot level 1000 and I won! I kept repeating to myself to make simple moves. I have been playing by using your advice of engaging knights and bishops and I have been doing pretty well but I am a 400 and as you say, just wait and a 400 will blunder haha. However!! Tonight!! I followed the advice of, "keep it simple, do not make extravagant moves" and I won! It felt so great! Thank you for the great video and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for explaining what is simple chess I have tried many complicated tactics only to fail at some point. I'll grind my way up and, focus on simple moves and time management :)
As a "500" rated player (I honestly feel like I have reached that rating on luck more than skill) this is a very educational and shrewd breakdown of the pitfalls players like me find ourselves in. I am constantly trying to be clever and come up with sneaky tactics and end up blundering multiple valuable pieces. This is a sobering reminder to stick to the fundamentals of chess and let the finer points of the game come to me as my skill level advances to the point that I can actually leverage them against strong opponents rather than be run through by my own sword. Thanks, Anna!
Hi Anna, that was really instructive thank you. My problem is always wanting to take take take but you have hammered it home here that you should delay tactics until they’re really clear and spend the majority of the opening developing and playing to improve your position. 🙏
I've been playing chess my whole life. I'm 42. I remember playing yahoo chess in the mid 90s- late 90s. 1200s back then we're like 1100s. Now a days you play a 1100s they are like 1200-1250s. Ether people are getting better or I'm getting worse.
Anna this is great. I'm not approaching 400 yet, but as a beginner, I just love the way you are explaining and emphasizing the fundamentals of developing pieces, Thank you!!!
Cheers Anna. Thanks for taking the time to help us, I am just a beginner myself and have been trying to solve chess puzzles as a way to gain ideas. Be great if you had a Anna Cramling chess puzzle app or something. Also enjoyed watching you play your Mum and Dad in the other videos... All the best GN
I‘ve noticed that when playing black against the 400-800 range players, short castling often turned into a bit of an own goal for me. Mostly my opponents relied on fancy moves by the queen and started rampaging through my defense, which led to me moving forward my pawns from the castle. Now I‘ve started favouring long castling and suddenly I started winning (combined with a more defensive approach).
Anna. I mentor young adults and I find your teaching style absolutely outstanding. You are great in your teaching (I presently am a reticent beginner in chess but want to encourage my mentees to do chess and be inspired by how I suck but persevere). You are wonderful in your explanations. You are simply outstanding as a chess mentor! Thanks for what you do.
Super informative! I have watched too many of your high level games and have been trying to emulate the complexity. I def. need to simplify and be more simpler!
Love your content! Thanks for all the explanation. On a funny note, I realized you say "moves" like "me-you'vs"! haha, and "new" as "ne-you's", and "now" as "knee-ow"!
Thank you for doing a noob level tutorial! I'm below 300 so would love the Twitch one too! and THANKS for clarifying that you're not just violating noob players for kicks!
Honestly i keep hearing how hopeless 400 players are but as a 350 player who is learning, tries to develop properly and do all the stuff the experts teach, it doesn’t stack up. Everyone I play already does all the stuff Anna mentioned here. To me this guy played like every 400 play I’ve played. Maybe good chess players just don’t realise how people play so far below them
@@AntonFairfax They have no consistency at all though. I think if your actually rated 400 it's more likely you're not accurately understanding your own games or the games you're seeing here. This guy definitely played far better than the average 400 player. I mean it's hard to judge from one game, but if all you had was this game to judge you wouldn't assume 400 or anywhere close to it based on this alone. There are more tactical mistake and worse opening moves from 400's than in this game. 400's throw away pieces all the time.
You should definitely continue this series this is where I’m stuck at right now like 450 I’m starting to checkmate a lot more thanks to you and it is def your thought process❤
Anna I'm truly grateful I met you (I mean by your videos haha), you are an incredible chess player and motivate me so much to keep learning, as well as falling in love with chess everytime❤❤ adding to this comment, you seem such a nice person, really✨the way you express lovely about your parents, as well as your personality of a sunshine❤✨you're truly amazing, I have so much admiration for you❤❤ keep making awesome videos!! ✨✨✨
how do you can see that the enemy is normally higher then his rating he is playing ? :) because iam 401 and last time i played against someone with 250 rating but he was the best player i ever met, better then 500 rated players i played against. he also had a vip membership and other symbols near his name!
from experience most 300-400 elo players are actually suprisingly good, they know the proper opening basics and how to fork/pin very well; I honestly believe the 400 elo mark is downplayed by many however many players at 300-400 elo are suprisingly better and decent making it harder to get above that 400 mark
Thanks. I saw you in the streamer awards for best chess streamer and was about to vote Gotham but realized I wasn't familiar with you so I decided to watch you. Turns out I made a good decision and you are great at explaining positions, better than Levy or Nelson.
I am going to go to 500 for today, congratulations for myself 🎉🎉🎉 caused of you anna i started play a chess game, maybe a couple weeks ago and still blunder at some point and didn't have yet pattern and strategy for any movement or develop...
I began playing chess last month and my elo at the start was 500 now it’s 400-450 and I can’t seem to move up. Thought it would be quicker but I guess I just have a lot to learn
I am in 200-300 range on blitz and everyone i play has real openings and defenses, plays quickly, and blunders don’t usually come until time pressure starts. I genuinely don’t understand how I’m stuck. Over 1200 on puzzles and understand all kinds of tactics and CCA, but still 50/50 W/L on blitz against 200s. I play like Anna describes 800s playing but it seems impossible to gain ELO above 300.
I'm improving a lot, Anna. Thank you for all your tips. I got here after painfully learning to take things easy, develop pieces so I can castle, and defend my center pawns. Just by doing that, I'm able to consistently avoid losing too fast. By the way, do you have a preferred android app?
how do you process the take/take/take stuff so quickly? i don't know my rating, i just play against chess bots right now and can usually beat the 1000 rated bots 2/3 of the time with takebacks allowed but i know that's not realistic either
(Not referring to this video, this video is good.) Chess has become toxic with the hunger and arrogance for ratings. It should be a fun game. I think many people who mock ratings 300 to 800 players like they don't even know how to play are people who are naturally talented in chess and was rated higher at a young age. They are not players who don't know how to play, they lack consistency and are super careless. But I do feel people lower rated look down on each other too. They would always try to checkmate very early by getting their queen out so early. They also play very unreasonably aggressively. Yeah but they do know how pieces move.
I at 550 elo, and i will say, people dont play that bad it seems.. yes sometimes I blunder and them aswell. But it seems like players know what they are doing for some reason
So basically it boils down to promote your minor pieces to control the centre while castling as early as possible and use you rooks to cover any columns that open up? Would love one for 500 elo players
I love that you have passion for something. I hope my children find something they are also passionate about. In the meantime, I thank you for doing these classes. I always wanted to learn chess. This is proof your generation can teach us old dogs new tricks. 😆
I will say that you have some really great instruction videos on tips to playing better chess and you make them easy to understand. Thanks you, I lhave earned a lot from them!
I have a low rating but i beat people in less than 56 moves usually my games are 27-18 moves or even less than 18 11 moves is nothing to me winning what does that mean
A 4oo player, after a few practice games, beat the 1000 and 1100 bots. It was such an easy, overwhelmingly strong opening strategy that I could afford to make a few goofs.

In order to not lose as anything under 1200, is just to not blunder any pieces and that’s it.

So basically it boils down to promote your minor pieces to control the centre while castling as early as possible and use you rooks to cover any columns that open up? Would love one for 500 elo players
It’s much the same maybe up until 800 or even 1000, by 1200 people are reaching intermediate stage and would beat an 800 9 or 10/10
This is highly instructive

so how does this work? cuz when i see the players history, the points are lost and did not come back? would be messed up if his points are gone though
I’ve gone from a 1200 player back to an 850 😭😂 I think I just play a lot of quick games that I just can’t finish because I am too busy
I am putting myself up for adoption by GM parents 🤫
