The SECRETS Chess Masters Don't Tell YOU

[@avec112]

First time watching. Love the animated overlays for added information. You are a good player but you do not have a poker face. Very enjoyable to watch when you do mistakes. Makes you more human and I can relate. However you save your mistakes way better than I would. Probably because you do mistakes while I do mistakes sprinkled with any random number blunders between 3 and 7 every game more or less 🙂

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Thank you for this comment! Yep, chess is far away from being perfect... we all do mistakes! But with experience it should get better how we react after a blunder (hopefully :) )

[@McChessNerd]

Sometime A opponent will relax after you blunder . So I will try to use my blunder to my advantage if possible. A lot of times they will Overlook a simple check mate.😉

[@dimitrisk8441]

obviously, the title has nothing to do with the content, but it was good watch. You also, explain the moves really well and make chess feel simple and fun!!

[@game-editor2]

I also love to play the spanish opening. I recommend everyone to focus on one particular conventional opening, learn all variations and get familiar with the potential weaknesses, attacks and positions it creates. Then learn a new opening.

[@deedesignsbydiyashahani]

Anna and Alessia they both make the game look so easy, I get motivated and excited after watching their videos, open the app, play and loose 😂😂😂

[@newterry2008]

You are a strong player, you explain every move very well and always with a smile , keep on with good work, congratulations!!!

[@a.g.4843]

Of course she’s strong…she has a rating of 2500

[@jeff-8511]

I really love your videos where you slowly explain every move. They are very useful and educational!

Love those special effects you add, brilliant

[@nithinmanipula2238]

It seems very easy...But While playing we are struggling more than grandmasters😂

[@wh1skeybud]

you’re honestly so entertaining to watch lol you have something figured out for your channel and i’m telling you… you’re gonna be number 1 at some point. just too good

[@joshualavender]

You're quite the entertainer, Alessia, on top of being a strong player!

[@belizean_koolisalu_pue3431]

thanks for playing rapid...sometimes on other peoples' streams I can't focus cuz they play blitz and it's too fast

[@joannewilson6577]

I agree!

[@zenlol7034]

I thinking like this before play chess. But when I play, 53 blunder coming

[@Laghima_chauhan]

I want to learn openings but every time when am playing.. I kind of forget 🙂

[@HoSza1]

She's not telling either, just cuteing around. 😂 Very cute indeed.

[@Jesse-vg2dn]

I just found your channel. It was very fun watching you explain your games! Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the boost xD

[@cewlac]

Can ask for honesty. Title is quite misleading.

[@garypierce7380]

What they don’t tell you is they avoid playing people below their ELO so they can stay in their private club

[@sanjaysawant5199]

The Ruy lōpez is my favorite opening.

[@itsmak7382]

What do you prefer? E4 or d4? Caro kann or sicilian? Queens gambit or kings gambit? (This one's gonna be onvious.) Black peices or white peices? French or italian? Now who do you think is better? Cramling or botez? Rosen or Romzan? Giri or Niemann? Magnus or Kasparov? Hikaru or Vishy?

[@joannewilson6577]

Imo 1.d4 is better because 1.e4 is too common and every one know how to play against. Same logic with the Caro.

[@nick.naista]

cool video editing 👍

[@JohnVDenley]

Nice explaining, I can follow you, I struggle to follow lots of other KZbin chess people....

[@krystiankaniewski5570]

I love the polish touch (I refuse to belive the number on the thumbnail is random)

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

It is "TOTALLY" random 😜

[@gabriellouisetti5033]

Sei bravissima e parli ottimamente in inglese :) però sei un'esperta, ti vengono ovviamente facili le mosse! A me basta un minimo imprevisto in apertura per andare in crisi... posso chiedere un consiglio per un giocatore scarso / dilettante, che sarei io, e che cerca di imparare le aperture ma con poco frutto? farei meglio a evitare le partite rapide (1, 2, 3 minuti)?

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Non imparare le aperture che non serve a niente. Concentrati sulla tattica (fai tanti esercizi!), gioca partite rapid (anche blitz va bene) e analizza ogni partita!

[@stillmattwest]

Well that was fun. Great video.

[@ManuelLeon-gm5im]

I failed at step 0: Learning the openings.

[@ed-ezil9994]

She makes it look so eazy

[@milad7764]

I play in 1300 and 1400, and the last time someone blundered a piece against me was many years ago. How come your oppenents play like 600 against you?! 😐

[@MrGuitarman8000]

I like listening to the cool narration

[@neon1899]

That was a beautiful video. She even did THE ROOOOOK

[@khalidwalid658]

A 1400 blunders a knight it seems so bizarre

[@joannewilson6577]

At 1450 i sometime get check mated in 5.......like yesterday....but that is very rare..:)

[@skylex603]

well, I don't play e4 never. I just play kings fianchetto and modern defense. You should make a video about it

[@RingsLoreMaster]

Your rating is nearly 1400 yet your grasp of tactics seems to be well above that.

[@Eds7570]

She's actually around 2200, mastery level.

[@salehaljahishalhawal2715]

Hey, This is a question for a friendly game in chess 1v1?

[@Ruskieit]

How do you deal with cheaters? I've seen other streamers who often have this problem. You never post matches against cheaters. How many takes do you need before you get a game you can actually post?

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

I can try to make a video about it! Thank you!

[@RingsLoreMaster]

By "cheater" do you mean someone who is playing well above the ranking listed? How is that a concern for a player of her caliber?

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

Making chess fun is not an easy task. Good job, young lady !

[@mickyjgreen]

😂 you mean making a chess video entertaining is no easy task... Unless you hate chess...

[@ElectricHedgehogs]

Loooove this ❤. Funny, entertaining but also instructive. Excellent

[@ousen3805]

Game 2 with black: The knight sacrifice worked both ways: 1. Ne4xg3, h2xNg4, Qxg3+ (comes with check so QxNf3 is illegal for white) 2. Ne4xg3…(the variation you played works too as we just saw) 🧐 Lovely vid. New subscriber here Alessia! ❤

[@Created.by.god_]

Nice 👍 keep up the work

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Thanks, will do!

[@sustainablelife3603]

Not trying to backseat you but can't you just play bishop b3 at 3:17 to trap the rook and win it on the next move?

[@kakashihatake3859]

I suppose ina way of course she wouldn't be able to take it just by that she needs to be attacking it but yeah good spot

[@sustainablelife3603]

@@kakashihatake3859 She will be attacking in the next turn after Bb3 black will play probably play Bf6 but the white can just play g5 or Bd4 but yeah she won anyways 👊👊

Great video I’m 1350 so it was very instructive except that all your opponent played very badly for their levels

[@FatsoFit]

Facts I’m around your rating

[@allanshpeley4284]

I'm around 1550 and the opponents played about right from what I can tell. 1300s blunder all the time. The problem is, other 1300s often don't notice or know how to punish their opponent's mistakes.

[@Deadeye1967]

@@allanshpeley4284 I am 1300, is there much of a difference to 1500 players? I am guessing mainly less blundering and thinking about what your opponent is doing, and a bit of opening knowledge.

[@allanshpeley4284]

@Deadeye1967 Less blundering, more awareness of tactics, more opening knowledge. I rarely lose to 1300s.
