  • A speed run on LiChess, but with the main idea of trying to identify the typical mistakes that my opponents are playing at the lower levels.
    Hopefully, this will help you find and repair any such mistakes that you are making yourselves.

    I just started playing chess in my 50's, and quite enjoy it. Out of all the channels on RUclips, I really appreciate your style of teaching, and how you break down positions and situations in an understandable way. Great stuff. Thank you,

      As someone still in their early 20s, I think it's really cool that someone your age is choosing to play what many people consider a "young man's game." I hope I'll still have the motivation to improve at intellectual pursuits when I'm older!
      Alongside Ginger GM, I also really enjoy some of Ben Finegold's older lectures very entertaining and educational, I would recommend you check out those as well!

    It’s so funny watching this GM trying to identify what 1600 players would see or not see. (I know he was once a low rated player at some point, but still.) Sometimes he is underestimating basic things that we would definitely see and then hilariously totally overestimating what we would see - suddenly recognizing essentially every pattern, pin, and fork left and right at a whim.
    It’s actually genuinely funny - and no, not in a bad way - (of course it’s difficult to revert oneself into an older mindset with less comprehension/understanding of the game).

    Loving this series. Quite funny that you hadn't seen the early ...Bf5 before. It happens a lot playing at this level. It's another typical mistake - Black is focusing on getting the bishop outside the pawn chain without considering move orders or tactical nuances. Very often, these mistakes can be categorized as being "on auto-pilot".

    Hi Simon, in the first game of this video where he takes your Knight with the Bishop and you then attack his Queen, would it have been worthwhile for him to allow you to take the Queen while going on to take your Bishop and Rook as well? So 3 pieces for his Queen, you then take his Bishop with the other Rook and his King takes your Knight.
    Who's better after all that?!
    By my calculations he'd have 2 Rooks and 2 Knights, and you'd have a Queen and Rook.
    Or if he surprised you by allowing the Queen sacrifice by taking your Bishop, would you then step up one square with your Rook?

    Great series, Simon. I would love to see more.
    I did have two suggestions:
    1) Consider playing a longer time control. You chastised your opponents for playing too quickly in the opening, but at 1600 they need that time later in the game. If they followed your advice, they would lose more often on time than they would lose due to opening mistakes.
    Alternatively, don't punish oppening mistakes; just get an equal middlegame position.
    2) Do you know the distribution of chess ratings of your audience? It might be worth holding a poll. I would guess that many (myself included) are too weak to really benefit from a speedrun starting at 1600 blitz.
    Daniel Naroditsky is doing a 10-minute speedrun which started at 800 rating and that series has taught me so much.

    • @daviddelille1443
      @daviddelille1443 3 года назад

      @Robert Bst2 I am aware of Simon's longer games; I was merely pointing out that 1600s who take their time during the opening will likely lose rating due to flagging. Their regular opponents are unable to exploit small opening mistakes, so I don't think the advice (though well intentioned) will benefit lower rated players. A speedrun with a shorter time control may be more entertaining to some, but I believe it will be less educational.
      As for the intended rating range of this channel, that is up to Simon to decide. However, the advantage of a speedrun is that it can cater to all levels from 800 to 2200+, but not if he starts halfway through. You may personally prefer if he started at your level, but if the majority of his audience is below 1500 (for example), it may not be in his best interest as a creator.

    • @ym276
