We in Serbia don't pay anything! I'm only interested in how to filter regular chess from that garbage, like for example when I block his cast with a bishop and he executes them again, such things drive me crazy and I won't even talk about mixed pieces. Many greetings for my Russian brother! ;-)

yes, it is easy to learn, I teach my nephew when he was 4 years old, and he understood it very well, even in elementary school when he entered the chess group, he was bullied from Kids in Last grade because he beated them, and i was so angry at the moment, now he is the big one, 10yrs old, and nobody bullies him because of its skills.

How good can I get as an adult player? Struggling to pass 1000 in rapid, but I have no study plan, do not currently do puzzles ever, don't review my games. If I take chess seriously, how can can I become in rapid, blitz, bullet?

[@journeytograndmaster]

In my humble opinion, any human being can get to 2000 level with enough work and patience. P.s. You definitely can do it faster with the help of this channel :)

Hi bro great video love your content but I think there are many more advantages of diamond membership such as the things in the learn tab It teaces openings, endgames, let us play through master games and also drills. In My opinion It is totally worth it also I am telling you right now Your gonna blow up soon

[@journeytograndmaster]

Thanks a lot for your comment! Yeah, I have mentioned it in the unlimited lessons section but probably should have shown more examples. If it helps you improve your level, it's definitely worth it! :)

[@superior.256]

Should i buy diamond or Gold? Diamond is kinda expensive for me but if its worth i can buy it

Am stuck at 900,do you think diamond will get me to 1600

[@journeytograndmaster]

It's just a tool that can help you get there faster if you use it correctly. But ultimately that's only your work that will do it. For example, learning all the important principles on this channel and then implementing it in your own games. Try the 7-day study challenge on the challenge. You will definitely improve! :)

[@L_Justice0]

I think 1600 is when you should consider buy diamond

[@chrisbarker5336]

Hi, how do you become a title player 🤔

[@journeytograndmaster]

You go to competitions, win games and get a respective rating. After that you also get respective norms to get to IM and GM. Basically, you have to play OTB chess and play pretty good! :)

[@awakenedsoul2638]

Coach this paid training from Chess is only for players rated 1,600 below but once you break the 1,700 barrier this is not right for you!

[@journeytograndmaster]

Yeah, I would probably agree with you. Just one exception: puzzles are useful for everyone :)

[@awakenedsoul2638]

@@journeytograndmaster 1,400 to 1,600 player is considered a good player. 1,700 to 1,800 is a strong player that is Class A near chess expert. For someone who does not have a real chess tutor the offer at Chess is good for beginners to good players. Just play against a player with same rating or a player who have 100 plus points compared to you so you could push yourself harder to become better.

3:03 Coach what if I play like I told you against computers / chess engines rated 100 points higher than my rating? I never play with computers that are weaker because it will not make me a better player that is like playing chess just to feel good when you win.

[@journeytograndmaster]

The problem is still the same. The bot would be higher rated for you but lower rated in general so will still make inhuman decision. And since you are the average of 5 people you spend most time with (of people chess opponents you play most often), you will start making illogical decisions too. In the newest video (5 practical tips) I talk in more details about it. Take a look :)
