I fillow these tips. My online rating has been all over between 1100 and 1300 recently. Im currently at 1250. My problem is that I either blunder or play like an 1800-2000 rated player acxording to game review. Some of those higher level games, I still get outplayed by opponents. Almost everyone usually plays well above their rating. It's all about minimizing those devastating blunders and improving calculations.

Igor, you are amazing. I started subscribing in April. My Blitz rating was a dismal 203, complete nube. I watched most of your videos and many of them multiple times (more than 6). 2 weeks ago my rating was 598 and I am staying in the mid 500s. I wish I had picked up chess sometime before my 70s. I wish you all the best. I would love to take your lessons, but I am retired and very tight budget. You have blessed my life, for sure. Because of you, I now love chess.

Love your overviews, thank you Igor! I must admit, I sometimes get a bit bogged down in the dichotomy. Sometimes "to take is a mistake" is the mantra, and other times "it's prudent to trade off" is the guidance. I think that is what trips me up more times than not

@sirwilfried Ай бұрын

yes, it can be that simple! I believe that there is an order that should be applied when considering which move is probably the best next! If you manage to maintain an order of "thinking" that is subject to this order, then a jump up in the ELO is a given! Igor shows us “this” best!!

@johnlile7562 Ай бұрын

I very much enjoy your chess analysis more than any others on KZbin. I try to write down the moves, especially on your gambit lessons, but it’s difficult to do while listening and taking down the notation. Have you considered giving some thought to displaying the algerbraic notation on the right side, while showing the board moves on the left? I’ve been watching another do that, and it speeds things up considerably, and lets me concentrate more on what you’re saying as well as reducing my mistakes on notation.

In psychology hence why he is so good at marketing and understanding what chess i.provers want. What amazes me is his excellent English. I been asking if one of his parents is a native English speaker or if he lived in the west. He has an almost international accent it's not heavily accented like a lot of Russians when they speak english. I have asked many times but he never answers . I am very curious. I know native English speakers who can't speak as well as he does

@michaelzardalian4076 Ай бұрын

Yes yes same question here

@BunniBuu Ай бұрын

As a beginner, don't focus on playing specific openings. Focus on developing your pieces (ideally towards the center). I highly advise not playing to Scandinavian in general for anyone under 1800, it is just too tricky to play properly and actively. If you absolutely must have specific names of openings, though, I recommend Igor Smirnov's favorite Bishop's Opening for white against e4. Against c4, just play the Open Sicilian and avoid putting your bishop on c4. Against e6, the exchange French is probably the easiest for a beginner to understand. Against c6, I am a firm believer in the Fantasy Variation, but the exchange caro-kann is also very powerful. Against anything else, just try to occupy the center with your pawns, knights, and bishops. As black, being active is much more difficult. Against e4, you can play the two knights with e5 (just learn the center fork trick and don't fall for it yourself) or you can be bold and learn the Elephant Gambit. Against d4 there are a million options and it is hard to recommend a good one-size-fits-all solution, just search and find your own style. A king's indian or any style of benoni can be very powerful, my biggest advice is that any time that white has played d4, playing c5 as black is almost always a viable move for one reason or another. Against c4 I would say as a beginner just treat it like an e4 opening and assume your opponent doesn't know how to play the opening unless they play over the board at a 2000 level. Against anything else, just secure the center and develop your pieces. A little warning from me: systems may make it easier to reach middlegames without blundering, but once you are able to do that without needing the system, you are actually ready to improve.

Make sure you always use all your pieces. Do online tactical exercises. Learn basic endgames (rook behind the passed pawn etc.) Read a good book on middle game planning, eg Herman Grooten's Chess Strategy for Club Players. Remember and apply three rules for the opening: control the centre, prepare castling - and activate all your pieces.

@devthemasked4343 Ай бұрын

You need to understand the basic endgame principles and be very good at tactics and have a good plan. Achieve atleast 1600 elo by following these then it is a bit hard to progress

@eugeneboronow9779 Ай бұрын

Hi. I've been learning great lessons from your videos. But there seem to be inconsistencies that I find difficult to parse. "Develop your pieces before you make any attacks", vs many videos where you outline early attacks. "Don't play stock, meaningless openings", vs videos showing (and promoting) the Scandinavian, etc. "To take is a mistake" vs many times you recommend a own capture. Etc, etc... I find it difficult to determine when to follow which pieces of advice, they seem to be in conflict sometimes. Can you please advise? Thx.

@pierce9104 Ай бұрын

For the first one, it mostly depends on the opening you're playing, where it should be clear if you should be going for an early attack if you just watch a tutorial for that opening on youtube. Personally I find it far too easy to mess up early attacks so I prefer to play openings that prioritize development first (kings indian as black, Italian as white). For the second one, I kinda disagree that playing more active openings is really necessary to get to a higher rating (you could definitely reach 1500 exclusively playing the scandinavian as black and some other relatively uninteresting opening as white if you really wanted to) but it also doesn't hurt to try more gambits if you find one that interests you. As long as you play the opening well enough to not be losing straight away that's probably not what's preventing you from gaining elo. To take is a mistake to me mostly means taking is bad if it allows your opponent to develop by recapturing or if it damages your pawn structure (causing doubled or isolated pawns).

@andrewhughes7642 Ай бұрын

@@pierce9104 I reckon "to take is a mistake" is not a bad rule of thumb when all is equal on the board, as with each equal trade the game will probably be heading closer and closer to a draw. When you are up, however, equal trades are generally always in your favour. I have had the same feeling as the original poster that sometimes the advice seems contradictory but I think it comes down to building up experience in which kind of situations the advice is applicable...there will always be exceptions. Life itself is like this: "many hands make light work" or "too many cooks spoil the broth"?

What are more active openings for 1500 ELO player ? I play Ponziani with White Or Alapin Sicilian I need help what to play with black. I don't want my opponent playing Italian or Ruy Lopez... Too much theory there

@jacobbrennan4704 Ай бұрын

If you want to get out of theory, I would play the caro kann and dutch. However, some of the most attacking lines are in e4 e5 positions. For example, you can play h6 d6 against italian with ideas of g5. Also, you could play the rousseau gambit against the ruy lopez and traxler if they go for the fried liver.
