Chess but I tell you EXACTLY what you did wrong

I played a couple rapid chess games and explained all of my moves as well as where my opponent went wrong, so that hopefully you learn something and improve at your own chess games!

Opponent: Wow they're thinking so much I must have them stumped Anna: Explaining why the opponent is losing

[@imnottushiro9539]

🤣 So true, at least it would have been the case if i was that opponent.

[@PrzemekPr]

😂 Great point!

[@alahatim]

hahahaha, yep, that's exactly what i would've been thinking as the opponent

[@videosforthegoodlife2253]

I real life lol'd at this! It's probably spot on.

[@dontxtalk]

More like: oh I blundered Anna: jk I won accidentally lol

[@mauriciojcYT]

I learned - developing early is important - don't lose time - don't attack just for attack (don't overcomplicate) - check, capture, attack - if a pin happens, that piece is useless as a defender. - two bishops is good - bishops blocked are just pawns - to see the board also in white or black diagonals, not only in columns and rows. Thanks Anna.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

"don't attack just for attack (don't overcomplicate)" That won't stop me, cuz I can't read :)

[@christophersoo]

some additions - if ur up a material, try to exchange as much pieces as possible - dont do unnecessary threats because it will help your opponent gain a tempo

[@winrar42]

I love watching Gotham and agadmator, but I find that Anna has a better grasp on the rating level of her viewership. The advice hits a nice sweetspot between "knowing some basic opening and the basics of chess" and the intermediate "coming up with plans, and knowing the ideas in a position".

[@josephjennings5945]

A two knight checkmate is pretty sick

[@shiantiangelise349]

I agree! I mistakenly did that with one knight. Check out the video on my channel hehe

[@teemupulkkinen5382]

Thank you Anna for the educational content, it is very helpful for me. :) I really need to start to use the Checks, Captures, Attacks-analysis more often during my games so I can hopefully attack in smarter ways that way.

[@hotstepper3]

Phenomenal content as always, Anna. You should do more videos like this! Very informative and it’s intriguing to see how a 2100 player thinks!

[@the_huge_knight]

3:51 you could do move f6 (exf6 ; gxf6), then both two bishops would be under attack.

[@anp1609]

came to the comments for this too lol

[@shivamgarg4201]

opponent can take f6 pawn again and hit your rook

[@juusolaanti4175]

This was really nice watch. One other video pushed me thinking more of my attack options, but imho u gave better explanation and the counting tip just pushed it over the line. Definitely going to try to implement these to my game.

[@JayLooney]

I think the move at around 4 minutes was Qe2, defending e5 and c4. Also, the biggest tip for calculating is "Always calculate every check, capture, and attack"

[@danielpirciu5408]

that will not work, knight take bishop at c4 queen take knight and pown is not protected

[@PalKrammer]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful advice. The approach of thinking about check-capture-attack for each move is a revelation to me, although it seems obvious and basic. Your discussion of the opponent’s white squares becoming weak was also a revelation. I believe master level players view positions on the board at a high strategic level that I will probably never attain, but it is good to have masters such as you still showing us these tactical basics.

[@marcelmattern7722]

i dont do progress since 5 years. Im still 2250 rated and my highest rating was 2370. I did a half year no game because im frustrated and i often think why im not higher rated because i do so much right, but in the reality i miss in blitz games so much that i dont want to play anymore. When i watch a game i see so much more and i literally only watch chess videos insteed of playing. I like your happiness and hope i can feel the same when im gone play again.

[@CPTMoroni00]

I love these videos! Your enthusiasm for chess is infectious! One of the best ways to learn how to play chess that I've ever seen! One suggestion - One should also calculate checks, captures and attacks that are available to one's opponent! I have lost many a game by focusing so much on my own plan that I failed to evaluate that of my opponent. You actually do this in your video but it is not stated that that is what you are doing. Great job!

This was extremely instructive. I have played for decades without a structured approach and therefore my play was erractic. I study tactics and a few openings every day but now have more confidence in my rapid games which is a huge plus for me. I play at an 1800 level but now think I can go even higher with this thought process. If you are ever in beverly hills, CA area let us know so we can come and watch you play. Well done Anna!

Loved the tip “checks, captures, attacks”. I always wondered if chess players calculated moves in a particular order, and it turns out they do.

[@juanpadilla4175]

Thank you 1000 times! I really appreciate the effort to share your knowledge and insights.

[@itorres008]

The analyzing checks, captures and attacks priorities is useful for me. A problem I have is analyzing a bunch of lines and consuming a lot of time and energy. I need ways of discarding candidate moves earlier without going 5 moves deep into the line. Also, hearing you say something like "I'm going over here because I don't really know where his Queen is going to go", and then saying you're going to fork a rook and being surprised by it being Mate amazes me. I thought a player rated that high would have all of that precisely calculated and not go happy-go-lucky. Maybe, it's because who you're playing and being distracted by teaching, and it would be different in a meaningful match.

[@exdejesus]

These opponents are way better than me, but I am still learning so much by Anna's gentle suggestions.
