Chess Breakthrough: The KEY Question to Ask When Stuck Below 1000 Rating!

Great video! Thank you!

[@LionChess]

Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

3:47 Do you always have to say "thank you" when you take a hanging piece?

[@LionChess]

Just like saying "Checkmate". Optional, will make you feel good and will make the opponent feel angry. 🤣

[@tychobrailleur]

@LionChess I always say checkmate after every move, I find that that unsettles my opponent. 😊

[@gregpreuss8425]

Yes double attack on bishop and queen but after protecting your queen you can sacrifice your dark square bishop on h6 and open up his king.

[@LionChess]

Well done! A lot of players would miss the attack on the queen. First we solve that problem with something like Bf5, then we can look to attack!

[@southernrun9048]

Really like that question as simple but should cut down on many mistakes and losses but not asking it and making a move. Thanks

[@LionChess]

Happy to help! Thank you for watching, good luck with applying this in your own games :D

Dude do more of your student coaching sessions please

[@LionChess]

Will do! What rating of the student would you prefer? So I know who to ask :D

[@ArgoKios]

I would say 1800-2100 will be the most interesting

[@ArgoKios]

​@LionChess I would ask for 1800-2100 if possible! It is the most interesting and instructive, there are some fundamentals in understanding the game, but not the simple blunders and without ideas for as 1500 and less

@@LionChess Yes please! 1800+ helps everyone pretty much. Very happy that I found your channel

[@LionChess]

@@jasg1988 Sounds good! I'm happy you found it too 😀 Welcome!

[@mathewsamuel1386]

Could you do a video on what chess calculation is and how to calculate in chess? Thanks.

[@LionChess]

@@mathewsamuel1386 I've made a video on calculation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWll6Sfi8aUjLssi=rRVX6RvM1t1RZBsa Is this what you meant or something more specific?

[@mukeshrathod7529]

Positional ideas please 😢

[@LionChess]

I'll make that video soon, thank you for the suggestion! :)

[@davidsullivan3205]

Last scenario...double attack on Bishop and Queen

[@LionChess]

@@davidsullivan3205 Well done! That queen attack is hard to spot for most players since they're so focused on the bishop attack. How would you respond as White?

[@davidsullivan3205]

Nice Videos.

[@LionChess]

@@davidsullivan3205 Thank you very much! I hope you will find many instructive topics on my channel to help you improve 🥰 I'm here if you need anything!

[@C0RY.M]

Bf5? I don't see any follow up from Bxh7+.

[@LionChess]

Exactly! Well done :D Bf5 is the perfect move to save both your bishop and queen. Thanks for watching! :)
