Chess Calculation: 5 MASTER Techniques

[@thejuicymop8128]

This is the type of video that makes your elo go from 1500 to 2000 in rapid but at the same time makes u go from 1500 to 400 blitz

[@YFchess]

Lol! You definitely need to manage your time carefully. I'd argue that with techniques 1-3 you should be able to play even faster though!

[@dannysosa5334]

Great video! I bet if you do more videos on calculation they would be successful. I know I would watch

[@JohnsonSmithson]

Awesome video, extremely useful. I already knew most of the topics talked in the video, except that last one, which surely will help me a lot. I've never even considered the "find the defence, break the defense" approach and as I've finished this video, I noticed it is a gaping hole in my calculation skill. Thanks again. Keep up the great work 😃👍

[@YFchess]

Thanks! Go get that elo with find the defence break the defence!! 💪

Some fun tactics!

You gonna have even better ones getting IM!

[@Bella-w1h]

Amazing techniques. I find it’s really hard to calculate as a beginner player. As I feel bad about losing anything from my side. 😢😢

[@YFchess]

Cheers! Don't be afraid of losing, I'll teach you!

Cool video, are you the guy that posted it on reddit?

[@YFchess]

Thanks! Yup Glad_Understanding is me!

你好，周老师，你的这个培训机构的网页链接(是独立站吗？)打不开，404了，找不到了，你能否检查一下? 另外，关于国际象棋的计算，这个课题很好，其实可以更理论化一些，现在市面上的这些计算太过于注重作战术题了，作题当然是必须的，可是没有理论，也不行的，国际象棋领域关于计算的理论的提炼，一直作得不够，中国国内的国象教材没有计算的理论课，国外的也没有，都是那种手把手作战术题这样子的，缺失更全面更总结性的计算理论。建议您以计算为主题，好好开发一门课程！

[@germank7924]

Came here from reddit, didn't like how you phrased it, that you "calculated yourself to IM", almost giving folks the foolish idea they can ever play good chess without calculating. Anyway, you gave me an idea, maybe we can test some IMs, for example, with fixed depth engines, to see how far can IM instincts go when they simply choose "the best square", without calculation

[@YFchess]

Thanks for coming! You are right, calculation is essential and without any players will be hard stuck

[@consciousmassofatoms]

I absolutely cannot calculate deeper than two moves and I hate it

[@YFchess]

Practice makes perfect! Keep trying and you'll get there

WTF is this? You're doing it all wrong! You're giving people valuable information in as little time possible without wasting their time and treating them as adults? No, no, no! Seriously, wtf is wrong with you? Here's how you do it: You introduce yourself with some blank stare and then a loud greeting, preferably something along the lines of "wassup bro!" or something similar, but whatever you choose, it is important not to forget the "bro" as it creates rapport with your audience while making you sound cool and uber original, but also part of the "in-crowd". Then you waffle on about irrelevant things, and say stuff about your channel and ask the audience to like and subscribe a couple of times, while also giving them some jokes and be a comedian. Then mid-way through the video, you advertise or plug some website or product, and perhaps talk a bit about your own channel and it's also never a bad idea to remind your audience to like and subscribe again. Keep in mind that the audience is glued to its seat by now, since you were wise enough to just give a teaser in the first part - perhaps some obvious hints and tips. Then you finally reward the audience with a promise or link to another video which will finally deliver what you promised this video was going to provide in the first place. And that's how you do it. Don't mention it. (Though if this comment was helpful, don't forget to press that like button!)
