Good Beginners and Intermediates - What's the difference?

[@darrylkassle361]

Got a video idea- Go thru your earlier games when you were between 900-1200 and compare your thinking to your most recent games. Similar to this vid in a way but yeah I think that would really show your improvement and the change in thinking that comes about . Just a suggestion but would be really stoked if you took it on.

Great idea 💡

[@darrylkassle361]

@@LightSquares so you are going to do it I assume??!!

[@mur9a]

im a 1600 and u understand the game 10x more than me, you will reach higher elo soon, trust me, keep it up.

[@LightSquares]

That is very kind. I deserve my rating because I still make too many one move blunders. I need to raise the floor. It will happen with time.

[@LightSquares]

2:03 - I should have been clear c5 is also quite natural because Bb4 is not an option.

[@kingscrosschessclub]

It would be cool to get Jim-Burger to do a video like this of a 600 player.

[@Shaun_GTI]

Great video and explanations of your thinking processes. Helps us lower players question moves more.

[@pierread1011]

Super interesting. I'm rated about the same as Jim, and it's super interesting to see how a much-better-but-not-a-super-GM player evaluates a position. I'd love to see other videos like this one with black and white pieces and different kinds of positions. Really loved it!

[@LightSquares]

Thank you, I will be producing more like this.

[@smashthestateX]

the diff is 600 elo, cmon man

[@full_afterburner]

c5 I'm pushing this pawn hard now lol - thanks for the advice!

[@southernrun9048]

Nice video and hope you do more similar to this

[@Knights_reverie]

Am a new sub for a month now...but u inspired to play b6.. i only play d6(pirc defense )vs e4 but rest is b6 !

[@LightSquares]

Nice, 1 d4 b6 will often result in 2 e4 from white.

[@MarkOnishchenko-kb5ju]

Maybe for a video

[@ermanevcil]

I love your videos !

[@LightSquares]

Thank you!

[@jyujohnson2360]

Would you like to play some rapid at some time?

[@scootersroofing]

Black can win the queen with check at the 10 min mark.... Right? What am I missing

[@LightSquares]

If you are talking about discovered check then no due to qc2 response.

[@MarkOnishchenko-kb5ju]

Do you wanna play sometime Im 1800

[@theokrull1323]

What about knight a5?

[@wallyflops]

First thing I noticed too!

[@martinscharfenberg7012]

Queen would just slide over and block the check.
