well, there's not much to say except don't hang your queen in one move every fifth move. no seriously, stop trying to be extra with your own openings and play principled chess. there are more than enough videos for noobies already. we intermediates need some love, too, from time to time.

[@Zamiroh]

That third match was interesting. I find at 1551 I can sometimes struggle with a proper end game. I know a good amount of basic opening for both sides. I can recognize positions and usually know what my opponent will want in given situations. However, in the end game I sometimes struggle to properly move my king. I know the basic principle of trying to move king towards the center etc. Oh well, will keep learning!

Very informative video! It's unreal how much you see in a position. You're a good teacher.

[@MistaOppritunity]

End games are so rough. i remember a few weeks back I had lost several rapid games, I took a shower to cool off, then said by hell or high water, I'm winning this next game. Played a 70 something move long game against my opponent, 86% accuracy from both of us, and I looked at the eval afterwards and had no clue where I had made a mistake. Apparently at during a rook and pawn majority vs rook and pawn minority, when I was checked by the rook, I had the choice of going towards my passer on the right side of the board, or the pawn majority on the left side of the board to confront the enemy king, and I chose to stick with my passed pawn, and that was the wrong move because I allowed the enemy king active counter play, and I drew the game about 20 or 30 moves later. Felt absolutely crushed after that.

thank you so much Levy! I was hoping for another video like this for months since it really helped me. I am stuck at around 1700 since a few months and I am looking forward to improve. I know that most of your audience is around 1000 elo but I would be really happy if you would continue this series, also with higher elo people like 1800+ to 2200 some day! thanks for the content :)

1 Secret Hack for Elo is to play slowest time control in each category. 2+1 bullet instead of 1+0, 5+0 / 5+3 blitz instead of 3+0, 15+10 rapid instead of 10+0.

[@rodriguez4809]

Another tip for low time in endgame is to keep your king / piece at different colors to completely prevent enemy's knight forks. Knight attacks only one color at a time. [For example] Just make sure to always move your king to black squares and rook to white squares. Or keep them separate by almost the whole board distance. Otherwise watch out
