How to Not Blunder in Chess and Get Past 1000 Rating || Chess Fundamentals ||

[@matthewcampbell3155]

Advice: What is my opponent trying to do? Me: Hes trying to checkmate my King Results: Task failed successfully

[@SLChessDevelopment]

LOL haha

[@tyrelljeffries2527]

A really nice beginner video! In summary 1. What is my opponent doing? (Negative Planning, which helps a lot when we find ourselves in a position when we don't know what to do) 2. Is my move safe + 3. Can my pieces be attacked on the squares that I place them on. This video fits nicely with the one you did on creating weaknesses and candidate moves.

[@Andreatuzze]

Bro u are very good at explaining things and very chill. Keep up the good work!!

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Thanks! Love the feedback :)

[@hasmituchil5214]

I'm not sure how long ago you were below 1200, but absolutely no one is making 1 move piece blunders like that at 1000.

[@SLChessDevelopment]

The example I gave was probably an exaggeration but the point stands, to get to 1000, you just need to find the free pieces your opponent gives you! It’s as easy as that

[@hasmituchil5214]

@@SLChessDevelopment Only if I don't hand him pieces first haha

[@Schmated64]

This looked more like a 300-500 rating range tutorial. I feel like a lot of masters and higher rated players underestimate the level of strategy that 1000 rated players have. Obviously compared to GMs its nothing, but i am 950 and can comfortably score 30 in puzzle rush. Yet i can never convert this into an increase in rating :/

[@Mag-r8n]

@@Schmated64 sme i do gd in puzzles n shit like that but my actual game is so much worse

[@michaelaivazianyt6695]

I’m a 600 n people don’t blunders quite that simply

[@alexwhite4053]

Will try this out for sure, really helpful video. Gotham Chess is good but my ranking is so embarrassingly low that learning a few chess openings does nothing to help me win !

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Hahaha, openings definitely won't help too much if you're blundering all around. Just ask those two questions and search like you're finding Waldo and you got this !!

[@liamburger9231]

Bro how does this guy only have 1k subs. Smh deserves way more.

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Thanks haha

[@8ullred]

very cool guide bro!!! very helpful!!!!!

[@aashb6637]

Great points, but would love if you could show similar mistakes in something like the Italian or Spanish game. I feel like by 800 elo almost everyone knows how to escape scholar's mate. Eagerly waiting!

[@tod4612]

Keep it up bro, great content

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Thanks for the kind comment :)

[@filippos_fortosis4716]

The mistake I do is that I can think about 5 moves ahead but I dont try to figure out what my opponent is planning

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Hahaha, might be something you want to work on :)

[@mahri9022]

im stuck at 1100 rating rn and i must say people do not play moves like that i play longer time controls(45min/45sec rapid) to get better and people actually think about their moves its much deeper than just finding free pieces maybe in blitz pr shorter time controls but longer ones

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Ya, this is for shorter time controls. Not for standard games (though as an arbiter, I’ve definitely seen my fair share haha)

[@Cartern_]

Thanks so much, after watching this I'm starting to play a lot better. In the 8 games I've played so far I've won 6 and lost 2!

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Nice!

[@Cartern_]

@@SLChessDevelopment Thanks, I’ll reply to this when I get above 1000

[@Cartern_]

@@SLChessDevelopment I DID IT! 1006 after winning 13 games in a row, a total of 15-1-0 after watching this. Thanks!

[@darrylkassle361]

So once you get to the 1000 stage how do you get to say 1200-1300 what is the next step to incorporate. Obviously you have got blunders and mistakes etc under control. So basically now it’s about higher level tactics and ideas but what exactly ???

[@Lancer78x]

Do you do one on one coaching online?

[@SLChessDevelopment]

With school and everything going on right now, I’m a little too busy! If you have any questions though or anything I’m happy to help!

[@Lancer78x]

@@SLChessDevelopment Ty, love your vids and I will keep that in mind. Im very new to chess, about 800 rated on chess.com which I assume is pretty bad lol... I am so overwhelmed just trying to learn as much as I can when I have time, there is so much information out there. Right now I find myself mainly focusing on just not hanging pieces and leaving unguarded pieces on the board. I struggle really bad trying to win late game, i often have huge leads and don't always understand how to check mate, I often miss wins and early checkmates as well I spend so much time focusing on taking pieces, or defending lol.

[@steele5767]

Great video!

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Thank you!

[@sjegannath6295]

NM is national master so your rating would come around 1900 right?

[@SLChessDevelopment]

hyper gamer haha, generally in Canada, that would be 2300 rated nationally. As for Fide most NMs are around 2100-2200 ish. I haven’t play many FIDE tournaments as I never travelled so mine is quite low

[@sjegannath6295]

@@SLChessDevelopment oh i am really sorry. I am an idiot sorry. I saw an article saying 1800-2000 would be NM so i thought you might be rated around that. Plus due to all my studies i wasn't into youtube a lot. Anyways thank you so much for your video. I was not only able to cross 1000 but also 1200 with your video. Currently looking for 1300. Thank you so much.

[@SLChessDevelopment]

@@sjegannath6295 :) All good! I'm glad you were able to improve! Hope to see you around

i watched this video and instantly checkmated with 2 pawns and a king

[@offline2776]

Nice tips

[@SLChessDevelopment]

thanks

[@MadGamer_666]

problem is , at 1000+ rating almost everybody has this basic principles unless is somebody new that hasn't played much, so is hard for me to surpass that benchmark. I win a few lose a few etc

[@opinionday0079]

I agree with the comments players ranked 1000 are much further along than this. They know most of the openings and would very rarely give pieces away foolishly

[@vampireducks1622]

Sean, I'm guessing you were never below 1000. Because a 900 or 800 or even a 700 player would never make a move as pointless as Ba6 (5:22) or Bg4 (4:31). That is really more like 300 level. But two great tips nonetheless - thanks!

[@anithabalasubramanian4088]

Really good content can you help in my chess j am only 9

[@SLChessDevelopment]

If you have any question, I’m always happy to help through here or my email!

[@superkitty9662]

it didnt work it would only work if i had enogh time to think but theres a timer so i get rushed and make stupid mistakes how do i not get rushed and make stupid mistakes?

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Play longer games when you’re first starting out! As you get used to the game, you’ll naturally get faster

[@memessavelifes4561]

Your so helpful no wonder your a NM

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Hahaha, thanks :)

[@Maltebyte2]

I seem to get worse and worse i went from 1200 to 800 now i cant win a single game anymore! ; ( they seem to get better the lower the elo lol! and also even seeing that elo number plays tricks on my mind! i lost having fun at this game : (

[@jeremy1909]

1000 rating in what? Blitz? Bullet? Rapid?

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Blitz / Rapid... In bullet it's whoever can move their pieces faster without blundering hahaha

[@juniorelisio]

My rating is about 700 and this 2 simple questions helped me A LOT! I Knew from begining that my mistake was hanging pieces, but i never understood how to stop hunging pieces, but this two questions solved my problem, now i just have to keep asking myself, practicing and this will becomea habit. When you know what to ask its soo much better our brain seeks the answer when you ask correctly. I believe in 1000+rating will be questions that will help me when i get there.

[@SLChessDevelopment]

Im very happy that this helped you!! Good luck in your process. If you have any questions, you know who to ask

[@juniorelisio]

now i'm back here to tell i am 1000+rating now =) In the begining was a little bit hard ask this two questions, but now is unconstious

[@SLChessDevelopment]

@@juniorelisio Yay!!! It is hard to begin with but with practice it becomes really simple in hindsight doesn't it?

[@danhynes2]

Terrible advice to wait for moves in the opening

[@SLChessDevelopment]

It's bad for higher levels for sure, but as this is a guide on how to get over 1000 rating, moves that wait around can be beneficial just by how much people blunder at these ranks!

[@Nick-ye8pf]

This won't get you to 1000

[@michaelaivazianyt6695]

It’ll get you to 400 tho haha

[@SLChessDevelopment]

If you understand these fundamentals, I definitely believe it surely will get to 1000 rating. The idea of being a wall that doesn't crumble while taking advantage of any of your opponent's mistakes is enough to get there.
