@@AykhanHajiyev13 rapid at 2300 and above is practically dead. long queue times and cheaters everywhere. every strong player has to inevitably switch to blitz. and blitz rating are much less inflated then rapid

thankyou bro 🙏🙏

Another great video jack! You have to be one of the most underrated youtubers out there! You deserve more subs, keep grinding bro

thankyou man i appreciate you ❤️❤️

Dude, I'm Brazilian, and I was looking for content like this, since in my language there is no content like this for free. Thanks for the tips, especially on how to review the games I had already heard about this from some great Brazilian masters, but none of them explained how to actually do it. These tips with this explanation could very well be paid, so thanks man

[@clintoruss153]

This seems impossible to me, suppose its true what they say, you have to believe first or you will never accomplish anything, problem is in so many games i play i always reach a point in the middlegame where i have no idea what to play , i often just move my king back and forth. I am rated about 1750

[@jacksarkisian]

i plan on making a video soon on how to make plans during games. i know how you feel - its super difficult and quite often even i get into positions where i'm kind of shuffling pieces around waiting for my opponent to make a commitment. its easily the hardest part of Chess - figuring out what to do when it seems there's nothing to do.

[@clintoruss153]

@jacksarkisian thanks for replying

[@chumber5412]

Im not sure if its a good advice but when I go on tilt I usually play good music to get my mood up even if I lose I dont get tilt and it also prevent me from overthinking. -Source 1990 on blitz

[@abirdatemytoes4024]

read reassess your chess, it's the best book on positional imbalances and will help you understand the middlegame so much better. That book took me from 1600-2100 in the course of 8-10 months

hey can you give us your full repertoie for reaching 2000 i know you play carokhan against d4 what do you play

[@jacksarkisian]

against d4, i usually just play c6, and if e4 i transpose into the Caro-Kann. if they play the Queen's Gambit with c4 after c6, I still play d5 and play the Slav Defense. i don't know much theory about the Slav Defense - its not super theoretical but Levy made a pretty short & concise video explaining the basic ideas of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maSYZX6Oo6yWY5I&ab_channel=GothamChess

Who's your coach

[@jacksarkisian]

i don't have a coach, they're super expensive & i can do everything a coach would myself so i never really bothered with one

[@PickleCODM-hw6cj]

How does you graph look so nice. Mine is a sine wave lmao

[@basedchessmoves]

At this point you should probably play more otb since rapid pool at that high of a level is full of cheaters.

[@jacksarkisian]

yeah i'd like to play more, but unless i fly out of the country there's not too many opportunities to play in Australia - really can only play once every 3 months or so. played well in my last tournament finishing 9th from 101 players so hopefully will be able to bring that momentum into my next tournament!

[@alekhinesgun9997]

@@jacksarkisian How's your OTB rating in comparison to your online rating?

[@jacksarkisian]

@@alekhinesgun9997 my OTB rating is 1750 atm, but its super underrated because there's not many tournaments to play in Australia. i would expect my OTB Elo to be around 1900 Elo strength, which is still a pretty big discrepancy but i'm learning & becoming stronger every day 💪

[@ultimatechess2003]

Could you put a link to the lichess study on the marginal winning endgames.

[@commercialandresidentialpl7337]

I decided to only ever play one system. as white or black, against 2600 or 1600. I play only 1 min and 3 min games. After a few years i reached 2397 max on lichess. I have some of my games against a GM and IM on my channel.

[@probablyanon]

Iam stuck on 1820 - 1870 (1-2 months or so?) :sob: my ign is JimClapsHeylop

[@jacksarkisian]

from the few games i've looked at it seems your time management could use some work. you're trying to get out of the gates too quickly and force tactics onto the board before you've fully developed. this can sometimes work, but not with the openings you're playing. for example against the French you play the Steiner Variation, it seems like you don't quite know the theory for it either (Be2 is standard in this game on move 6 www.chess.com/game/live/113152860483?username=jimclapsheylop). i made a video recently on tweaking your opening repertoire if you wanna check it out, ChessBook is a really useful tool for it as well. but generally it looks like your problems arise in the opening, to which you're not even spending time on. definitely the part of your game that needs work.

[@probablyanon]

[@nictamer8754]

Good tips, although the simplest tip of them all is simple: You played over 3000 rapid games on that account and that game time alone will improve everyone massively if they decide to put the hours in. I think it is impossible to play 3000 rapid games without crossing 2000 elo if you have some form of intent and mindfulness when playing.

Damn i suck i took 3years to reach 1550 peak

[@jacksarkisian]

really just depends on how much time you can dedicate to Chess per day. if i spend 2 hours per day to your 1 hour, i'm going to achieve in 1 year what you will achieve in 2 years. 1550 is still crazy good, lots of lower rated players would kill for that rating 🤝

[@constant8339]

why didn't you play Nxg6 on 8:16

[@jacksarkisian]

Nxg6 is also fine in that position, but its just theoretical and didn't actually occur in the game - both solutions work.

What's your OTB rating? I'm 1714 Over the board and about 2000 online

[@jacksarkisian]

right now I'm around 1750, but I've only been able to play in 3 FIDE rated classical tournaments (one of which was only a 5 round tournament). tournaments in Australia are super expensive due to flying, accommodation, entry, etc. so I don't get too many opportunities to increase my Elo. realistically I'm probably around 1850-1900 OTB strength at the moment.
