How not to attack in chess · Training Game

The art of attack in chess is something that you develop with time, training, and by developing a keen sense for tactical features of a position. The position I had in this game was almost a perfect example of having the initiative and just enough force to launch a strong attack. I managed to mess it up. Learn from my mistakes.

I am so sorry I love these longer format training videos. I just put it on and go about my day and learn something about chess. Thank you so much! I've improved to an 1600 quite quickly and I feel my endgame skills are a lot better because of you. Thanks!

[@SEAKPhotog]

Thanks again for posting your games. Win, lose or draw, they're always educational and entertaining for us! Happy New Year again. Hopefully you've already reached your year's quota of blunders and it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. FWIW, it does seem your tactics have improved since you've been working on them. You're thinking more moves ahead, and you're doing it quicker and mostly with more accuracy.

Looking forward to your otb game recaps from the upcoming tournament.

[@openwoundproductions1662]

Love your videos stephan. Happy new year! Resolution is making less blunders :D

[@m.agrippa]

Thanks for uploading this game, it's very relatable!

[@sustavo7128]

Happy new year Stjepan and to all the people that see this comment! Have a nice 2024 full of music and chess 🎉

Your light square bishop never saw the light of day. I felt like you never got the opening right. He managed to use a setup with a Nc3 that was very flexible for him. You wasted too much time fiddling around with your dark square bishop too. Thank you for sharing this. I felt your pain throughout.

[@sadratnt1765]

love your vids

[@user-cr4kr6uf9n]

10:05 "I feel like my knight is better than his knight".... "why is he over the starting time" im dead xD

[@onniruusunen9444]

28:00 I think you really just need to bail out by going into a endgame. Rxe2, Qxe2, bxd5, bxd5 (or xb5) qe5 and now he probably has to trade so you don't get active

[@guyonprince2890]

In the stonewall, you always play on your king side. You went awry when you began playing on the queenside. cheers

[@imlauragr]

Does someone know what's going on with the timer? that happened to me as well in a game

[@simonbritez]

Happy new year!

[@enzocarlo-liu1265]

1. Happy new year :) 2. Sometimes actually even with very active pieces there is nothing in concrete so an endgame sometimes is a better choice

[@michaellovas1061]

Background noise is so loud

[@alexanderlord1512]

The noise is too much 😅

[@jvst_haze]

Yeah agree. Maybe you can consider a better mic with noise cancelling Stjepan :)
