I Try to Reach 2000 ELO in 30 Days - Day 18

[@Barrosvbp]

Adorable chess lessons we are having here through these videos... Thanks, Alessia.

[@billgillon2701]

Loving your content Alessia, both in learning new things which helps my play, but also in the fact that you're damn funny when doing the games and videos 🙂 Looking forward to more vids.

[@f-angcogtontont.1724]

I'm now at 800 elo thanks to your checklist! Greatly appreciated GGz!

[@watchfullmoviesforfreee]

Yes this series very good 👍 I am also getting help 😊

[@AlexBanzea]

Finally, Alesssia did not only embrace the London System…but also the ‘BBC’. We are watching history being made 🫡

[@gjerahlddindji-msimang7874]

Hau Alex you're here too😅 I appreciate your Caro videos💪

[@rr.studios]

BBC?😰

[@9minutes236]

i like your videos so much, you explain things so easily and i don't have to memorize all those 1 million theories. thank you

[@mauro_weee]

-14:38 sooo adorable vibin and exploiting the zugzwang, felt embarrassed and sent a "whatever" xDD I was vibin with the cute moves tho 😂

[@RandomGuy-je5os]

4:20 I'm dying 🤣🤣

[@craigpearson7480]

My chess thinking has improved by watching these 18days, now am just bad instead of really bad, thank you Allesia ❤

[@jongler9775]

I am always pleased to watch the destruction of the openings I hate : Philidor, London. ( and I hate them because I don't feel confortable facing them. ) However, watching those videos feels like watching kids being harassed, a little bit. This is kind of violent, in a way ( I am not saying this too seriously ). By the way, I was a bit shocked to see the last game. The opponent played some non principaled moves there ! Thank you for your work and your time, Alessia. Please don't mind my critical views too much. Matthieu

[@fizzahyder2965]

i love your videos they helped me improve so much

[@nc1609]

17:32 After e6 you have to give up a rook for the pawn to avoid Lobster Pincer mate.

[@yusefma112]

22:07 that's a frank mode there

[@cornwallnick]

Much more fun way of learning Chess. Thankyou 😊

[@wconradjr]

You’re a natural KZbinr. Do your thing, girl. Shine bright like a diamond. ;)

[@paklang8667]

I really love this content.keep up alessia!

[@BasDostNogOke]

Lets gooo alessia i hope you get to 2000 soon

[@joannewilson6577]

She is already 2100 FIDE..lol

[@charlesdarwin180]

Addictive channel Alessia. I hope you're prepared to get the highest rated chess channel.

[@virgoqalb]

17:45 e6 ne5, e7 kxe7, qg7 (if) nf7, re1 and it should be close to mate.

[@grad83]

4:35 Invincibile position Black

[@willzang3000]

you ar an absolute beast on the board omfg

[@cornerstone2449]

At 16:45 the knight could have taken on g7 and gotten an advantage. Either up a pawn, or three pawns and rook for knight and bishop

[@GreenRayJC]

The problem with explaining your moves is you talking very fast. My brain is overloaded. But that's because I'm a slow thinker. Also 17:35 e6 (glad i paused the video and worked it out myself)

[@a.g.4843]

you can play the video with less tempo, see the settings...

[@ertugkaya919]

At 17:32 she lets e pawn to advance, which will cause her a rook or even worse, mate.

[@gjerahlddindji-msimang7874]

"Yey what did i do bad in my life to have a closed diagonal...!"😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cwesley2005]

My favorite video every day!!’

[@merlin.peters]

You're not explaining to fast. It's good!

[@ivke4835]

8:29 you should do early this move.

[@joejacquesschulz8514]

So funny you go as "... the Grob". Your favourite opening is named after Swiss master Henry Grob. In his home country his surname means "rough". Watching your charming and elegant presentations the adjective "rough" doesn't come to mind at all...🙃😉😉🤣🤣🤣

[@joshuamphande2272]

The boss❤

[@michaelsamir9799]

I really like this videos i hit 1100 because of u thanks so much

[@justinc0336]

5:00 I was waiting forever for f5 around here and it just didn’t happen.

[@rolfwelsch8570]

Alessia why are You so good?!

[@thienyetan2035]

this is better than nelson

[@KancerKowboy]

The 1600s are playing worse than the 1200's did

[@joejacquesschulz8514]

Everybody has a bad day every now and then.

[@andreafonso3542]

If u look into like 20 or 30 games of a 1200 account u will see they do get brilliant games but most are a mess (im 1200 btw)

[@terrifiedpingu1927]

It's just small sample size, as someone rated 1600 myself I recently lost some games even though I didn't make any significant blunders and had accuracy over 90, but 1600 rated players aren't easy man...

[@danielyuan9862]

​@@joejacquesschulz8514Is the last game someone having a bad day, or someone forgetting basic opening principles? And they're higher rated then me? How??

[@uptheguts2]

16:45 Bxe6 Qxe6 , Nxf6 gxf6 , Qxf6 is a draw.

[@uptheguts2]

16:45 Nh6 is better

[@MuhammadIqbal-dp2es]

22:27 : Two Bishops Fatal

[@manisdogfish]

I thought my video player was running at 2x speed. It was running at normal speed

[@thefallenwatermelon3495]

I hope you know what bbc means I know in chess as a joke it’s big black center but it’s usually something else😅

[@mahmoudhussein9975]

Big blunder 😮

[@geddylee501]

Lol I accidentally played a shit system chapter, haha 😂

[@S1mon3agle]

Ciao Alessia ma se al minuto 6:30 del video il tuo avversario avesse pinnato il cavallo alla regina come dicevi tu poi non si poteva fare alfiere f2 scacco sacrificando l'alfiere perché dopo che il re si prende l'alfiere si può fare una forchetta col cavallo di re e alfiere in d3 e per poi prendere l'alfiere in questo modo non si vince un pedone?

[@joejacquesschulz8514]

A black knight on d3 doesn't attack the white bishop on g5.

[@S1mon3agle]

​@@joejacquesschulz8514 when the Bishop pins the knight its not on g5 its on f4

[@fadetoblah2883]

Assuming I understand your suggestion (my Italian is very basic), I don't think it works. After Bf4 (pinning the knight to the queen) and Bxf2+, white can play Qxf2 (instead of Kxf2). Then if black still played the fork Nd3 (at this point, Rf6 is probably better but still insufficient), they would be doing so without the benefit of a check. This leaves black exposed to Bxc7, Nxf2, Kxf2, leaving them down 2 pieces, as far as I can determine. (Apologies if I misunderstood and am commenting on something you didn't actually say.)

[@VIKRAMJHA1106]

14:45

[@cognition1549]

Every time I hear you say “BBC”, something dirty comes to my mind😅 Please explain to me what does BBC stand for?

[@chandanjha1654]

i must say alessia is quit found of BBC. 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@perseoeridano4182]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ItsDuo1]

Day 3 of gaining 69 elo

[@javongboyd]

2:50 what does bbc mean

[@Barrosvbp]

Big Boys's Center reffering to the two pawns in the center.

[@lonelyfella4518]

Please create theory content vids

[@Jrkgzn]

What's BBC?

[@valentinleguizamon9957]

first one? lmao nice wifiiii NICE VIDEO ALREADYY KEEP IT UP ALESSIAAAA ;DD

[@georgehavrincea9258]

Her boyfriend is a very lucky man: she's smart, funny and good looking

[@andrer2664]

What is this 'bbc'?

[@lacanon16didinklach21]

Your eyes says u re tired ...

[@subhashrao9939]

why do 1200 elo play better than 1600 :)

[@fancitickler]

Thanks heavens someone else can't stand the London system. Thought I was the only one! So many club players and wannabees are trying to copy the London system (which is similar to the reversed Caro-Kann for white - advanced variation/line). Reminds me of the Veresov-Richter set up, which seems a little better than the London. Granted the London system is a little better than the Colle system which is passive on a good day. Eight pawns, sixteen possible opening pawn moves (Realistically 3 main pawn openings 1.e4, 1.d4 and 1.c4) not including the 1.Nf3 Reti and perhaps 1.Nc3 which is a bit non committal and sub optimal. All the patzers trying to play the London system because they watched a few videos on youtube. It does help if you play an opening several hundred times if not thousands before one can claim to be an expert in it. Of course some Super GM will play another trendy opening and the London system will fall out of fashion very soon. Brilliant video Alessia. Grazie

[@tweeglitch]

A couple of videos ago you thanked us for our wholesomeness in the comments. Does this mean you'd rather us not tell any dirty jokes? Or in this case, a rude story? Even if it's chess-related?

[@FloofyCat]

Game 3: Isn't that called like a Semi-Slav defense with the black pawn pyramid? Also, at 17:34 maybe the threat is just e6 (threatening Qf7#) and after Ne5 (defending the f7 square) maybe White has something like Re1 (doesn't matter which Rook) preparing to sacrifice *THE ROOK!!!* for the Knight to proceed with the checkmate again? So the line is Qxf2, e6, Ne5, Rhd1 and how does Black defend? Now I see Rh6 (threatening the Queen) but after e7+, Kxe7, Rxe5+!, forcing fxe5 but then Qxg7+, forking the King and the Rook, winning it. So, in the end, Qxf2, e6, Ne5, Rhd1, Rh6, e7+, Kxe7, Rxe5+, fxe5, Qxg7+, Kd8, Qxh6 I guess White is up a pawn, I don't know, brain hurt🥲 Also, don't worry about the screams. My ears are _definitely_ not bleeding right now

[@RandomGuy-je5os]

Ne5 would attack the queen also so that means that Rhd1 is not possible. I have no idea what the move actually is tho

[@foobar69]

2:48 what's BBC? I only know one BBC... okay.. maybe two... none of which fits here

[@chandanjha1654]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she is talking about big black center. but i knw what u mean 😂😂😂😂 that might fit somewhere else 😂😂😂😂😂

[@namanchaudhary9903]

For some reason I thought she's calling the bishop, BBC😂😂

[@Barrosvbp]

BBC stands for Big Boys's Center, reffering to the two strong pawns in the center

[@jeanpaulfelix4095]

the only way you are doing this is if you were 2000 or higher to start. its easy to tell from your commentary that you are not a novice.

[@TheBilly]

Well, yes. It's a speedrun for content. She's 2162 FIDE which is much stronger than a 2000 online rating

[@GreenRayJC]

It's a speed run account. She's rated over 2000 somewhere I think. Been a while since I've checked the original profile.

[@fintan9218]

Yea shes 2100 otb, you actually have to have permission from the app to do these speedruns

[@NastyBeatChannel]

😮😮😮

[@SimoneAngippi]

sono nuovo... mi impressiona che una italiana si senta bene a parlare il birignao angloamericano che suona come un uno che sta masticando una big bubble con il K. mentre scorregg.... sono gusti... è allucinante che per essere internazionali si debba cadere cosi in basso... viva Dante

[@edogaldo]

Ma che problemi hai?!? Va che così non fai un gran servizio a Dante e all'Italia in generale!!!
