I really like that you don't use any background music and don't try to be funny, or otherwise attempt to beef up what is already an attractive topic. Two concepts per video (piece sacrifice and process of elimination) are plenty!

that's the Classic KZbin, that's the origine so that's what we missed on KZbin in this days.

Agreed. I’ve just found this channel and it is very refreshing to see someone seeking to be, rather pointedly, informative and concise.

I am rated around 2100 blitz and found this instructive as I often often overlook aggressive moves such as Rc8 and Rxf8 in your second example! Thanks
@stevenorth15646 ай бұрын
That's because you're playing blitz. Just my two cents but classical games allow you to fully exploit your calculation skills which then percolates down to shorter time controls.
@jadezee63165 ай бұрын
no they don't....the amount of mistakes made in Blitz are enormous,,, and that is why NO chess player comes close to beating a program....blitz and long-time controls are totally different games@@stevenorth1564

I really enjoyed your content in this video. It's rare to find such beautifully logical and comprehensive content on these problems. 'Calculations' are widely neglected on chess channels except during live play.As I watched you break down these problems, something clicked for me It's kind of like reverse engineering or some kind of systematic deconstruction process, like building demolition. I can see that I haven't been paying as much attention to my opponents' motives as I should be. Very insightful for me, thank you!

New subscriber here. I enjoyed your teaching style, explanation, and examples in this 1st video that appeared in my feed. I play chess as a hobby pastime, and have played for many years, but I've always struggled with end game strategy and tactics, and the common blunder when the game is close or even. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos for more insight. Thank you, and much respect sensei, Grand Master.

this is great! i’ve been stuck around 900-1000 for awhile now and i’m not like super crazy into analyzing my games and studying or anything like that. more of just a hobby i enjoy but i would say this idea is prob one that holds me back a bunch. i don’t think i’ve sacrificed any piece looking for a tactic in any game ever lol i just don’t have that confidence due to the fact that i’m not spending a whole lot of time studying, i just play a lot.

@jimhenderson64406 ай бұрын
To be fair to the beginners, in the position at 1:58, after Qg6, Nxg6, hxg6, a grandmaster will very easily win the position up a queen and pawn for a rook and knight, but there doesn't seem to be any immediate forced mate, and I can see an amateur being unsure whether Black might not have some counterplay with the passed a-pawn or something.
@petergriffin87676 ай бұрын
Honestly? It doesn’t matter. To be fair to the beginners, they’re not seeing Rxg7 Kxg7 Qg5+ Qg6 Nxg6 +-. And if they are, they can convert the position with enough thought. But if somehow a beginner who isn’t strong enough to convert the position sees that, they just need to drill the basics because they have the tactical vision of a player hundreds of points above them.

It's the hardest thing to do in Chess, being open to the possibility of taking a step back to take two steps forward 😂 I am risk averse to this approach, hence why i play more rapid. This approach works best and is essential in blitz

This was super great - I’m around 1200, and on the second position I pretty quickly saw Qb4 and was quite happy with it - totally missing hxg7 because I only considered h7. It’s easy with a computer to see what you missed, but seeing why you missed something is much harder.
