Why no one else describes the same concepts that you do is beyond me. It's the thought processes behind the strategies and tactics is that I struggle with, these are the kinds of things that I'm always wondering about. Your vid on blunder check is a case in point, good job.

[@zwigoma2]

Fucken well said bro.

[@fisher00769]

One of the best chess advice I ever got was "Do not trade unless you have a reason to".

[@ignaciomeneseslopez3282]

Sometimes, when im ahead in pieces and when a trade does not affect my attack capabilities, I only trade in order to simplify the calculations. For example, when i have a non developed bishop, I would probably try and trade for an equally o more developed minor piece in the enemy territory. So... that's me. Cheers brother.

[@fisher00769]

@@ignaciomeneseslopez3282 Well that's a good reason though. Generally speaking, trading your non-developed pieces for pieces that have moved already several times is efficient. That means your opponent has wasted time.

[@davideden3720]

My no1 reason to trade: I can hang less pieces.

[@MrBrotkrumen]

What a great video! After watching this i sat down and analyzed the most common mistakes of my past 20 games and noticed just how often i miss easy tactics of my opponent. Interestingly, i did almost never miss a simple tactic when i had the opportunity. This lead me to changing my thinking process, i am now spending much more time on thinking about the tactical opportunities of my opponent before making a move and it's paying off!

[@megamelvin25969]

I been playing chess for about 6 months didn't know what open file

[@vlogtomejr.1919]

Is the position at 7:45 an odds game? White is playing without a knight.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Wow! Would you believe I didn't even notice that until just now when I read your comment... Haha yeah it must have been an odds game.

[@EtzEchad]

My main weakness is blunders. I do them a lot. That's because I'm stupid.

[@_Vengeance_]

Wasn't it pretty much impossible for white to keep the open file in the first example? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any immediate threats from white, so black had all the time to plant their queen on B7, after which rook on A8 to kick away the queen is unavoidable (well, or white goes for a queen trade, after which the rook will still get the A-file). I do suppose the E-file deserves the black queen's attention, but as far as I see it the queen could move back to E7 after the rook got to A8 in time to keep control over that as well (if the queen trade happened instead, white wouldn't have a queen to put pressure there anymore so the lack of black queen shouldn't matter much). I mean, I'm probably missing something that would make me go "how could I miss that?", I'm not a chess expert. Just saying what I noticed.

[@wanderingwatcher3981]

Looking at the position, I´d say that Black is better, can get control of the open file if he wants, and it's hard to find a good plan for White. But that is not a reason to give Black the open file for free. Make him work for it I say! Maybe while he plays Qb7 White have enough time to set up some counterplay. Like you were on to Qb7 has drawbacks for Black as well, namely it puts the queen on a terrible square that no longer pressures e3. That makes me think of what square to move my rock to when it no longer has to protect e3, ways to activate my queen to create an attack on the enemy king or ways to succesfully play e4 to trade away my backward pawn which could even open up the black king to attack in the process. Basically, don't give away material or positional advantage just because you can't find a good move. Right now the white queen isn't threating to go to a6 to target the b6 pawn because it's too easy to defend, but it could in the future and that restricts black somewhat. If you can't find anything, keep what little advantages you do have! So that's why it's bad in the abstract, but here is a more concrete reasoning: The game: Qxa4, Bxb2, Qc2, Bf6, Bd3, Ra8 Analysis: Because Black's Queen pressures e3, White must play a defensive move like Qe2 to be able to block a potential Ra1! with Rf1 without losing a pawn to Qxe3!. White's position remains very passive going forward, having to defend e3 and be ready at all times respond to a potential rock infiltration. Little hope of counterplay. Make him work for it + my best plan (undermine with g4): Qxa4, Bxb2, Rh3, Qb7, Qb3, Bf6, g4, fxg4, Bxg4, Ra8 Analysis: White can play many moves here because Ra1! can be defended by Kf2, after which it is unclear how Black is making any progress as the Black bishop is controlled by white's pawns and e3 is guarded by 3 pieces. The black queen is out of the game on b7 as is white's queen on b3, neither side has a clear way of cordinating to create an attack. But White has a stable position, with good potential for counterplay thanks to an active rock on the semi-open g and h-files. Ofc, I could be way off, I´m not stockfish, but it's how I (2000 player) think. But hopefully insightful and expands a bit on why files for rocks is powerful both in general and in practice.
