I'm very happy to have found your channel through Ben's podcast. Such a shame I didn't discover it earlier, because it's great. Keep up the excellent work!
Feel free to work your way back 😉!
At this point, "chillin with Andras" is a fixed part on my training schedule :)
Keep up the good work my man!
Thanks for the free content... honestly
My Pleasure!
King Andras strikes again.
I was like 1200 (rapid) and I'd get eight moves deep into opening theory and then just wait for a tactic to present itself to win me the game. I jumped 300 points from Toth's book recommendations and videos.
FOR EG - If you don't recognise that you have a good bishop you want to preserve in the main line of the giuoco piano, you won't prophylactically play so you can retreat your bishop in response to Na5. Then you'll be stuck with no plan thinking to yourself "well I guess I'll just shuffle the wood around the board until they make a mistake."
ALSO - while we're at it - you'll have more fun. You'll recognise that the d3 line of Italian is a super positional grind, totally unlike the open scotch (for example) if you like tactics, maybe you should play more open structures. The wand chooses the wizard. The opening chooses the middlegame.
I really enjoyed the perpetual chess podcast, keep it up!
Love da good work andras!!
Will be hoping for a King's Gambit opening video!
Love the content!
+1 on King's Gambit. Would like to know how to fend off refutations at the 1700 - 1900 level :)
excellent. And love your accent, mixture of hungarian and aussie
Hello to the entrenador!
"I'm going to have a red hot go at checkmating the heck out of your face."
- Paul Morphy...... or was it Andras Toth?.... It was one of those guys anyway.
now we have 1900 to 2100 a second time :D I don't really mind more advice though ;)
I think the "focus on middlegame, endgame and tactics" stems from beginner advice, where the opening is reduced to principles and beginners are told to play the four knights and then solve everything with tactics. Which I think is absolutely right, but it would be nice to give people an idea of what to focus on next; that mindless materialism is not a winning strategy, for instance. WHY do we castle, fight for the centre, etc. Well we have you for that so all is good now ;)
It was intentional. I did say in part 1 that there will be more to come
Another great lesson. I'd like to think I have been taking your principles to heart and have seen results. Especially "tactics, tactics, tactics!" Have started to beat much higher rated opponents on lichess. This gives me hope that openings aren't just about rote memorization. Keep em coming!
When I first started watching your channel 2 or so years ago, it convinced me to start playing the Ruy Lopez and Open Sicilian and my chess has improved immensely as a result. There is a lot to be said about diving headfirst into theory because even if you just start with brute force memorization you'll slowly pick up ideas about pawn structures and middlegame plans all backed by sound principals. I think a lot of problems beginners in the 1000-1500 have is so many of their games end up in unclear middlegames where neither side has a plan. If you play a mainline opening you can quickly punish opponent's passive and dubious moves with your superior piece activity and initiative.
On that note I've been playing Nc3 lines against the French but considering switching to the Tarracsh. Just curious what you generally recommend. I don't mind the sharpness of the Winawar but the positions are so wild I often find myself lost even in winning positions.
Nagyon Jo !
Just in time for my snack time!
yaay, im thankful for this, i want to ask, how much does a single, lets say hour long , lesson cost?
I dont really feel its my style to stick to one opening. I love to just get strong development and play a game. Do you think its important to choose one opening and learn it well. Im about 1550 rapid. I play the philidor,Sicilian, kings Indian, modern. Also like to switch up between 1.e4 and 1.d4. even been known to play 1.b3 which is great to thrown people put of theory.
I dont have any issues getting out of the opening. Probably one percent i lose in the opening and it usually clearly a cheater who is demolishing me.
one more reason just to stick to the Nimzo and avoid Kings Indian
Is part 1 missing?
