Another superb video from Journey to GM! Very well understandable, calm and at the same time high level chess teaching! Without exaggerations, grimaces and shouting. Just pure gold education and knowledge transfer in a friendly and very clear way! 👌👏
Nope! The more you play the worse you get. It eats your brain like a never ending acid in search of that perfect game. All the while getting older and older. More and more stupid and you begin to hate the game just like Bobby Fischer did. Many people just don't get better just because they play more. Not going to happen. You are what you are. I am just shy of 15,000 games with another 5000 games on another website and if playing more made you better I should be a grandmaster by now. While I have beaten a 2000 rated player I can also lose to a 1450 player the very next game. Chess is crazy! I hate it.
@@journeytograndmaster Chess has nothing to do with helping me to remember what color socks I had on yesterday. What it does help me with is helping me to decide a little quicker which way I'm running when I piss my wife off!
Great video, very instructive! Please make more of these! I like that you're playing a strong computer, so it doesn't end with some silly blunder from the opponent; instructive all the way through!
That’s a very nice game. Thank you for sharing your thought process while you play. As an amateur I think we are not as good finding the reasons to violate chess principles. For instance in this game you moved your knight to e5 and your bishop on b2 to a3 violating the principle of one piece one move in the opening. I’m not saying this to imply you’re wrong about one piece one move in the opening(I agree with this principle), but that we amateurs have a very hard time with this. I can open any opening book and find lines where strong players violate opening principles and it doesn’t ruin their position. This is my frustration with chess and any opening book or general principles. Sorry for the rant but if I’m thinking these thoughts I know there are many more amateurs have the same problems. Just wanted to share this with everyone in the hopes that it may help someone
Thank you! I totally get you, chess is a game of exceptions. So basically you should think about it this way: Don't move any piece more than once in the opening UNLESS you have a very good reason to do otherwise. (I should probably mention it next time) In the game both Ne5 and Ba3 seemed like good enough reasons to me to violate this principle (stop opponent's counterplay)
Thanks for the video! Do you have any advice on how to find strategic ideas in the middle game? Is there anyway to train yourself to be able to see these ideas more clearly?
I think for some openings it's helpful to watch a good teacher on YT. IMO this is where using stockfish has its limits. Because a good teacher will show you the move and tell you why/when you want to execute a certain idea, and why certain responses by the opponent don't work. Which is kinda tedious to learn yourself against a computer that can just calculate the best move and do "inhuman" stuff, but it's really hard to follow many best lines and understand why.
You have to assiduously practice basic tactics til you see them instantly amongst a chaos of possibilities...piece/ pawn gambits, then positional themes with specific openings then positional gambits like the benko system and beyond where alphzero will give material away for a tempo, positional gain for attack. Then there are standards in endgames you have to know.The only way to do all of this is to do it methodically, bit by bit. ...it's a long haul to build pattern recognition. 😮
I love your video's. Great and clear explanations. A slightly offtopic comment: do you advise playing engines of a certain strength for improvement, like in this example? I feel that these engines make artificial mistakes, unlike human games that are often more messy which makes it even more complex.
Thanks! I have changed my opinion on this topic somehow. Earlier I didn't understand why you would play against engines. Now I feel that it might be very helpful in some cases. For example, to train new openings against a strong opponent without anybody seeing it in the database. So it depends on your goals and availability of real strong opponents :)
a very interesting video thank you ❤. can you in the next video bring the camera close to the board so we can see it well. I want to get a good vision in the real board too like the electronic board.
Thank you too! It's tough. It's either just this camera like here or two cameras and then change it sometimes with top-down camera on the board. But some people said it's confusing and hard to understand. So I don't really know the best way to go about it
@@journeytograndmaster Yes! I have decided to learn from scratch. I have some videos saved on how to move pieces now, but was wondering if your training is really for those already well on the path, or is also for absolute beginners.
@@journeytograndmaster Ok, i'll learn some basics and then check out your paid training. I really like your low-key teaching style. Thanks for the quick response!
I will defenetly have to save this video coz i want to try this opening but i really suck at chess, i also really want to improve in it coz it's fun and helpful in critical thinking.
You mean the sign? It's missed opportunity, not missed win. White could have taken on b5 immediately as tactics work out and that gives the biggest advantage. But Bc5 is good enough, I wanted to show a simple solid approach without going deep into tactics.
I just played my first rated tournament and got an initial rating of around 1600, I have been reading some middlegame books , any specific suggestions to improve faster?
At 27:25 when Black King moves Kd5, why not White Qg4 to permanently separate the Black King from the pawn? Then White Rd1, then White Rxp and it's a much faster checkmate?
@@TomThum99 you can do that of course, but it would in fact be slower checkmate instead of faster, I think :) objectively, it absolutely doesn't matter as long as you give the checkmate in my opinion. Just a matter of a taste.
For exemple @3:50 the black could have played QA5 Instead.This is considered the strongest move for Black in the Scandinavian Defense. after 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 .. He could also have done QD8 retreat imo .. would have been still better choice over QD6
well, not everything? There are a lot of good moves too, it's 90.5% accuracy for white and 81.2% for black. But sometimes there are mistakes as both me and 2300 bot are not perfect :)
Basically in a given position, to calculate the eval bar, the engine supposes that each player is gonna play best move on every move from now on. That means if you play the best move, the eval bar won't change at all. It can only go down when you move if you didnt played the best one (down a lot or down a little), or stay as it is if you played best move. I may be wrong but i think thats how it works. But the engine dont think like a human, a good move against a human often is a bad one against an engine. Thats why learning principles should be done whitout engine. There is a famous game (kasparov vs the entire world together) where todays engines calculate a forced mate in 83 moves. No human can calculate this. That means in that position, if you play anything else than this forced mate in 83, even a very good move, the eval bar will be slightly going down.
Bro you are 11 right? So I can give you advice I guess, so just tell them that you are gonna get good marks from 9th or 10th (depends) and tell them you will prepare for entrance exam(jee or neet) if you don’t succeed, most parents don’t allow because they think you will waste your life, my parents forced me to study in school I might gotten good grades but in the end it was not useful in life and I had 0 hobbies

2:38 It's also useful to point out that you don't need to know intense opening theory to find book moves. As you said one piece, one move, that rules out Bb5 since the bishop can be attacked by a pawn which would mean you'd have to break the one piece one move rule which really only leaves the bishop to go to either d3 or e2. And like you also said you want to move your pieces to the most active "piece" (😋) which makes finding Bd3 pretty intuitive. No opening theory needed!

@@journeytograndmaster i don't do positional AT ALL... even the "simple" pawn ending eludes me. you're not speaking my targets based language with positional
@@justanotheryoutubechannel3102 positional normally used as an antonym for tactical. You can also say strategic, those are very similar terms in chess somehow.
@@Bork0r well, then your opponents also play very good at that level so it might be more complicated :) Depends on the perspective you are looking through
@ Have you read my post? No need to infer, the point is obvious. How about “Chess is Hell!”-true and “clickbaity-if there is such a term, which I don’t believe there is, so infer THAT. Don’t get panty-twisted. A criticism isn’t a judgement. Do as you will to get attention. I pointed out ONLY the (arguable, I guess) clickbait title, not the content. Chill.
By definition you can't claim that the title is clickbaity (not corresponding to the content) if you haven't seen the video, can you? I am absolutely fine with criticism as long as it's constructive. If I promise to make chess easier AND deliver on that promise in the video, then I don't consider it a clickbait.
@ it is what it is. Stay focused. The title. We agree to disagree. Why are you even responding if the substance of my post is absurd? I watch-or I should say, “watched”, your channel, but now,…meh. But I wish you well. NO ONE cares what my opinion is, so relax. To put your angst to rest, I watched the video-I pointed out the title. Geeze.🤣
@ptuiptooey, I try to answer all the comments, regardless of whether it's good or bad. If it's a negative thing for you - sorry about that but I don't understand why. I am also always trying to be polite to everyone, I was just curios whether you watched the video before writing that comment or not, that is all. Then I explain my view on the title being a clickbait or not, just as you did. So again, I don't get what you don't like about it. Sorry if you found my answer bad. I don't have any fears about it, I am just curios.
"Practice makes master" ? No, just like it doesnt make perfect. What if you practice the wrong way then you just get better at faliling. Practice doesnt make perfect. Practice of perfection makes perfect.
It's the motto of my entire life. It worked hundreds of times that led to me to everything I have got in my life. So I strongly believe in "practice makes master" I like perfect less, because it often leads to overthinking which might be detrimental. In real life there is rarely anything perfect. Even if you fail, it's still good that you practiced. You learned a lesson. And I have created this channel so that you practice the right way :)
Practice is practice, whether it’s good or bad. Bad practice could be as simple as playing moves without much thought or spending time on things you don’t need right now (like practising a knight and bishop checkmate when you’re rated 700). So, practice makes you better, it's just that bad practice makes you a master of just the wrong stuff.
Why do you have to be so rude? My system is very good to beat everyone under 2000 ELO (at least). To be the World Champion you need to beat 2800 ELO players. That is a completely different level where you need completely different systems.
This is the exact type of chess slop content I hate. Layers upon layers of clickbait, all while focusing on the the short-sighted goal of gaining elo. And of course, nothing of substance.
Stop it now! Grandmasters are rare for a reason. This is typical woke mindset. NOT everyone by a far chance can ever be a "grandmaster" it's a gift a talent. You can't LEARN how to be a grandmaster. Or many other talented professions. Just be honest, you need money because chess don't pay your bills.
So he basically learned how to get a 100% win rate with one simple trick (Grandmasters hate this guy): Step 1. pull out the Glock, and force a resignation.

Best of luck on your chess journey too!
@journeytograndmaster thank you for your response, truly, your videos are amazing, I even tell my friends, I would love to see you have a challenge game with Anna Cramling, it surely would go viral, I'm so glad you understand 😊, il keep watching your videos and keep on improving 👍🙏🧡
Well everybody is now an expert on chess.
Well, chess requires not only knowing but also implementing the right way to be successful :)

Ah, the Ligma method.
what is it?
if it's POSITIONAL... you might as well be a dog barking
What?
@@journeytograndmaster i don't do positional AT ALL... even the "simple" pawn ending eludes me. you're not speaking my targets based language with positional
@@justanotheryoutubechannel3102 positional normally used as an antonym for tactical. You can also say strategic, those are very similar terms in chess somehow.
@@journeytograndmaster YES... It is the exact opposite of how I see the board. I hate nothing more than PAWNS
Chess is easy when you are actually good at plying chess 🤷
@@Bork0r well, then your opponents also play very good at that level so it might be more complicated :)
Depends on the perspective you are looking through

2300 bots aren't as strong as you think
How strong you think that I think they are? :)
@@journeytograndmaster I mean they aren't as strong as people might think, not you specifically.
@@michelangelopainters5519 ah, okay, thanks. Yeah, somehow they can't rate it properly.
Chess is easy? A Clickbait title is easy to compose isn’t the same as the actual subject matter.
Have you watched the video?
@ Have you read my post? No need to infer, the point is obvious. How about “Chess is Hell!”-true and “clickbaity-if there is such a term, which I don’t believe there is, so infer THAT.
Don’t get panty-twisted. A criticism isn’t a judgement. Do as you will to get attention. I pointed out ONLY the (arguable, I guess) clickbait title, not the content. Chill.
By definition you can't claim that the title is clickbaity (not corresponding to the content) if you haven't seen the video, can you?
I am absolutely fine with criticism as long as it's constructive. If I promise to make chess easier AND deliver on that promise in the video, then I don't consider it a clickbait.
@ it is what it is. Stay focused. The title. We agree to disagree. Why are you even responding if the substance of my post is absurd? I watch-or I should say, “watched”, your channel, but now,…meh. But I wish you well. NO ONE cares what my opinion is, so relax. To put your angst to rest, I watched the video-I pointed out the title. Geeze.🤣
@ptuiptooey, I try to answer all the comments, regardless of whether it's good or bad. If it's a negative thing for you - sorry about that but I don't understand why.
I am also always trying to be polite to everyone, I was just curios whether you watched the video before writing that comment or not, that is all. Then I explain my view on the title being a clickbait or not, just as you did. So again, I don't get what you don't like about it. Sorry if you found my answer bad.
I don't have any fears about it, I am just curios.
"Practice makes master" ? No, just like it doesnt make perfect. What if you practice the wrong way then you just get better at faliling.
Practice doesnt make perfect. Practice of perfection makes perfect.
It's the motto of my entire life. It worked hundreds of times that led to me to everything I have got in my life. So I strongly believe in "practice makes master"
I like perfect less, because it often leads to overthinking which might be detrimental. In real life there is rarely anything perfect.
Even if you fail, it's still good that you practiced. You learned a lesson. And I have created this channel so that you practice the right way :)
Practice is practice, whether it’s good or bad. Bad practice could be as simple as playing moves without much thought or spending time on things you don’t need right now (like practising a knight and bishop checkmate when you’re rated 700). So, practice makes you better, it's just that bad practice makes you a master of just the wrong stuff.
No sory your rong
@Charlie-f4q4o explain please
If your system is so damn good, why aren't you FIDE World Champion?? Maybe because you're just another cheap chess huckster?
Why do you have to be so rude?
My system is very good to beat everyone under 2000 ELO (at least). To be the World Champion you need to beat 2800 ELO players. That is a completely different level where you need completely different systems.
It's good. It's so damn good. It's just not good ENOUGH to beat Magnus or Gukesh, since no system can replace years of experience
This is the exact type of chess slop content I hate. Layers upon layers of clickbait, all while focusing on the the short-sighted goal of gaining elo. And of course, nothing of substance.
really, nothing? Not a single useful thing in the entire video? Let me guess, all the positive comments are paid for or generated by bots?
Why do you look like a cartoon
What do you mean? :)
Stop it now! Grandmasters are rare for a reason. This is typical woke mindset. NOT everyone by a far chance can ever be a "grandmaster" it's a gift a talent. You can't LEARN how to be a grandmaster. Or many other talented professions. Just be honest, you need money because chess don't pay your bills.
@@Parabola007 stop what?
So he basically learned how to get a 100% win rate with one simple trick (Grandmasters hate this guy): Step 1. pull out the Glock, and force a resignation.
what is your point? You're saying his system is perfect? No it isn't and he never said it is. Is it good? Try it yourself while not playing tilted.
