Heyy, very often I was not sure, why I should fight for the center, but after I started playing English: The Whale, the massive center brought me to many wins. You are right. Mb there are some openings with a small center, but during the game the high center is also to fight for a bit later. A nice video, thank you so.
That's exactly what my entire channel is about :) alongside with sharing my journey to Grandmaster. Have you tried the free 30-day Training Plan? (the link is in the description) That is created specifically for your goal
oh, so you mean Qxh2. I was showing that I can play Ng4 and create a threat of Qxh2. But I didn't do it because he exchanges the knights with Nxg4. So I could never checkmate there
Sorry, the lesson of this game is not control of the center. Black won because he outplayed White tactically in a better position. Also please stop using "hope chess" to mean "I hope the opponent doesn't find the right move." "Hope chess" refers to the tendency of beginners to make moves without looking at replies to their moves, and just hoping they can deal with whatever the opponent plays. "Hope chess" is a very important idea, because it is how beginners play, and when they realize they must look at replies before making their moves, they advance in strength significantly. As a teacher you should know this, assuming that you do not only teach students who are no longer beginners
Respect your opinion but you must also consider that 80-85% of his Target audience also does not know what we are pointing out. Thus it is extra effort for him to please us which can be reduced. So let's not be over anxious about something that is not a very big issue. I know that our perspectives are different over this but the better way would be to acknowledge each other's fair points and keep an open to change mindset. Hope it helps
Thanks a lot for your opinion. I appreciate it a lot. At the same time though, I completely disagree with it. This victory has almost nothing to do with tactics. It was won purely strategically based on the control of the center (as mentioned around move 15). No tactics at all up to that point yet the position is winning for black. In the end of the game tactics worked out for me as I had very good positional and strategic advantages (again, the control of the center being the foundation of everything). As for the "hope chess" I respect your opinion, however I like (and understand) mine more, it fits 100% the point I am trying to explain as well as the huge mistake I see 99% of players under 2000 make.
Hope chess is very much "I hope my opponent doesn't notice mate in one threat", to the point of playing unsound moves that fail UNLESS they miss the idea.
@ it was not won strategically, unless you consider tactics as a "given", and getting a better position positionally means winning the game, and the rest is taken for granted. Position play gives an advantage, but only tactics wins games. I bet if we gave the position to Stockfish to play as White, you would lose or draw in your "winning" position at least sometimes. So who is your audience? 2400 players? or 1600 and below? If it is the latter, you do them a disservice making them think they can win games positionally.
@journeytograndmaster lack of experience I guess. You seem young I have more than 30+ years of experience and know people who have more than 70. One man I knew played till he was 90 started when he was 20. I see a number of players under 1000 who understand this well. Not to mention different nations have different standards of chess.
Well, even though I am pretty young (hopefully), I play chess for 20+ years and train it for 10 years professionally. I have never seen a player under 2000 who would truly understand and use the right way the "basics" that I cover in my videos. And once they do, they become 2000+ players very fast. That's why I make my videos :) alongside with sharing my journey to Grandmaster

Improve the worst placed piece! That's an awesome principle I shall strive to master! Thank so much for sharing it!
You're so welcome!
Great video and I like your enthusiasm!!
Thanks so much!
And always protect the base pawn too!
important indeed! :)
Multiple threats with as many active pieces as possible wins games.
Absolutely! :)
Good advice!
Thanks!
Amazing
Thank you!
Nice game 😊 and nice explanations 😊
Thank you 😀

You are welcome! :)
I would love to see a philidor speedrun from you, Eugeny
Thanks! Do you mean like a full speedrun from 1000 rating?
@journeytograndmaster yes, the longer the better. You could also play d3 with white and play it with both colors. Just an idea.
@@cz19856 thanks for the idea! For white I like the Colle Zukertort because it's more active yet still flexible
I stucked in 12-1300 elo, please tell me how to grow up to 2000+ elo

Knt - f7---way beyond My scope. Touche' & thnx 4 the elegance.
just dealing with as many threats as possible :)
What if they hit the centre in the first moved
You still fight for it!
can you play 1000 to 1200 rating?
thanks for the idea
Why not immediately fight for the center when he plays 1. Nf3 then? héhé :)
You can! I just like my opening as black :)
Instead of returning knight to f6 wouldn’t Qxh7 = mate?
@@jimyates7452 could you specify the timestamp please?
Oops… 13:02
Oops once again. The move I’m referring to is Qxh2 not Qxh7! My apologies.
oh, so you mean Qxh2. I was showing that I can play Ng4 and create a threat of Qxh2. But I didn't do it because he exchanges the knights with Nxg4. So I could never checkmate there
Well duh. 😂 Now it makes sense! Don’t know how I missed all that!?! Thanks for your patience.
After the pub (15'13), the bishop jumped from d6 to d8?!
I was showing that Bd6 was the best move but I played Bd8
@@journeytograndmaster , ah, ok.
Nice
Thanks!
@journeytograndmaster you seem to be the most interactive chess ytber. Can you please make a video which helps us in fighting mid games and endgames?
@pokethegreat4145thank you! I have made quite a few of both of those :)

Sorry but this stuff is obvious. Talk about basics. Ok we all need to cover them but talk about long winded 1600+ sometimes even under know all this.
Then why do I see lots of examples in every game under 2000 elo when people lose because of these basics?

Excuse me but don't you have to be a grandmaster first before you can teach somebody else how to be a grandmaster??
What makes you think that I am teaching someone to be a grandmaster?
