hey John. i love your videos but i am upset. because i was talking to a GM I know that comes to my local club. the GM told me your games look scripted. he said all your moves are scripted and your games are fake because they are pre-planned games. i hope its not true because I kind of look up to you

very nice game, John :)

When White starts checking from the side what happens if the Black King tries to hide behind the pawn on b4?

I think Qb6 instead of Qd5 would have been a blunder right? After the queens trade, the bishop is left hanging

Ain't gonna lie - I am sometimes (as in this game) surprised at the blunders your high rated opponents make against you (brings up the question whether these blunders are more likely to happen because of your "IM" moves :).. I lost to 1150 rated players who didn't make a single blunder against me (as the engine confirmed afterwards). good game, John

Hey coach you have a video on playing against electronic chess board Do you think I can against chess bots?Or do you suggest I get a electronic chess board

i dnont even know who won

Casual beginner blunders a queen: I'm so bad at chess i quit Chad IM after blundering a queen: i would give B+ for that

im heaps into electronic chess sets these days. Trying to track down one my parents got back when I was a teenager!

I haven't seen a lot of Koneru's games, and I'm really glad I came across this video. And this is one of the sharpest games I've seen on your channel. Loved it! Crazy thrilling

Hi John, I don’t know if you will see this comment from such an old video, but after revisiting your foundations series and early climbing the rating ladder series, I can’t help but think there might be such thing as “Rating Inflation”. the level of play from 1000-1300 are pretty poor according to the early videos, with a lot of big early mistakes, blunders, coordination issues, etc. at my rating range of ~800-1,000 i encounter what I would consider very solid strong play, with perfect openings and solid development and strong initiatives, it’s rare that i get to take advantage of undefended pieces early in my games, and it seems like 100% of your videos your opponents make huge mistakes early on, is that just luck? or did 1300 rating used to suck?

2:58: "I don't think this is anything Black has to panic about quite.... YET." :D

Damn talk about rage quiting

Put speed to 0.75x. Any slower and JB sounds drunk. But at 0.75x he sounds normal or maybe a little sleepy.

1:56 g3 Qxe4 Nc3 Qxh1 Nf3

5:47 why not capture the pawn?

This guy is pretty good at chess

Can't believe you both chose to draw?

It's interesting that Magnus finds the alternative lines silly, they are clearly not designed to be "alternatives from the same starting position" but "endgames in the same family that may arise from different prior board positions." He's too good to imagine being in a worse position.

I started watching your channel because daniel naroditsky keeps recommending your scandanivian course, and I'm enjoying this series a lot! Just wonder why views became less later on

After watching the video, I understand the importance of not blundering pieces, but it still happens, heeeelp

Tilted Tuesday more like

Bro challenged the literal best endgame player of all time no debate

hotshots like the guy in Game 6 thinking they can get away with premoving the first 6 opening moves is what puts me off online chess tbh

When I started watching these video my rating was like 270 lol. I lost basically every game I ever played but now after watching the first two episodes i've won 13 in a row The undefended pieces concept helped me so much. That alone has minimized my blunder per game ratio

Amazing!!!

A true master at the game. Taking a test another grandmaster made, not only knowing the answers, but he sees problems in the solutions made by the other gm.

John is even tinier in his profile pic

Yeah I definitely suspected that 1700 who beat you of cheating.. every move felt like it's making you more and more hopeless

Hey John. This is Stein.

John, you are easily one of the top 3 educational chess KZbinrs. Thank you for your uploads, always love watching and learning from them.

Pesky knights

I love to see a new video from you, your content is one of the reason for the progress in my chess journey. Thank you John!

Very educational game, John, as always! I've noticed that you haven't been talking a lot about your voice issues recently, and you seem to be doing OK in that regard. Hopefully this means you're recovered now!

damn you were pretty rude to homie in the chat. solid video though

Ah the English!! So nice to see! Actually such a relentless positional squeeze just seems to force black into difficult decisions. Very nice, smooth game, even with the mouse slip! Lol. Thanks John!

This has been (and will be) one of my favorite series. But I never really understand moves like Nd5. I do get that the resulting position is better for white, but isn't it just a fancy trade? The same with the center fork trick. I get that it works tactically, but I struggle to understand why it is considered so good, the opponent is basically lost. "Brilliant" seems a bit too much.

Every time I see a new JB video, my day is immediately better.

I find it bewildering how many profoundly different positions this opening can lead you to: borderline unplayable without a deep understanding of pretty abstract patterns etc (so I guess I'm never gonna try it)

Thank you John! You look tired though. You need a strammer Max

"That look likes a big number, but this was a one sided game....." (beads of sweat form thinking of Kramnik finding it 'interesting' and doing the procedure......)

good game!

John thats a great idea! Open it up to the public. I am public and i would love to play you

John out for a Sunday Stroll against a 2100.

Don't gesture and calculate mate.

Thanks for so good analysis! I like how you take too much time to explain all your ideas and the position strategic ideas! Abrazo!

I just wanted to say, loved your recent newsletter article! I'm a 2100 rapid player, just like your opponent here, and with more time I overthink everything. Especially when it *looks* like there's some sort of tactic I should be seeing. I can even lose an advantage when I do this. I'll try to play more practically when I have an advantage, less focus on being the machine I know I'm not and more focused on converting a winning position. Even if it's not "optimal". Thanks for the quality and informative newsletters and videos! Hopefully these two together will help me continue climbing the rating ladder!
