I Try To Reach 2000 ELO in 30 Days - Day 30

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Thank you so much for all your support and kind messages! It makes me sooo happy to see that you guys have liked this series so much! :D I'm working on the next videos, feel free to share any idea with me :)

PAZZESCA 😍

[@mudsi01]

May want to consider doing it again because it was so much fun. Might want to use few specific openings only (example - like the London or pieces defense only) or another idea might be there

[@fintan9218]

The thing id like most is videos with more advice on fundamentals, tactics & strategies. Basically chess tips for U1200 that are not so focused on openings like most chess content on youtube.

[@usibistro]

​@@mudsi01you sound like a passive player

[@superepic4026]

Ideas: What about if you do videos on bots playing each other? Like Martin vs Fabian Martin vs Worstfish Martin vs Wayne Martin vs Martin Barbarian vs Martin Fabian vs Wayne

[@mohammadghandour4756]

Bro the energy of this girl is amazing, and how she's always in a good mood in front of the camera and keep everyone smiling and entertained just shows how much of a cool and lovely person she is !! Congrats for your 2000 ELO

[@ChrisRoach59]

Congratulations Alessia, on reaching your goal. This was an awesome series, and I look forward to more. I think it's amazing how fast you calculate all the moves and counter moves.

[@Kiwi_Chess]

I’ve really enjoyed the series since it popped up my timeline a week ago. Very helpful for my own journey to 2000. Congrats Alessia!

[@kevinnitta3576]

I was with you from Day 1 and seeing you reach your goal does my heart a lot of good. You earned it the hard way and were positive throughout. You strategic and tactical insights were invaluable to aspiring players like myself even if I am old. Keep up the great work you are doing and I will tune in daily.

[@JS-ir7wh]

Thanks for the dedication of getting a video out for 30 days straight! Amazing.

[@neon1899]

I'm disturbed by lack of "bing bang boom"s late in the speedrun. Congrats Alessia!

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Sorry ahaha I also felt it was harder to bing boom bang my opponents lately

[@neon1899]

@@Alessia_Santeramo understandable! 😁 love your channel, can't wait for the next series and opening series.

[@Shailendra2819962]

Congrats of getting 2000 within 30 days! You deserve it. It was quite fun and educational 💪🏻

[@Napoleone-j7p]

Thank you Alessia for this playlist, it was very enriching to see how you think during a game to try to reach that fateful mark of 2000 elo. You are a very happy and bubbly player, it makes us want to play with a smile rather than with rage and anger like many Streamers/Players do. Thank you for this positivity, I will continue with your 1800/2000 playlist because I am stuck at 1800 on Lichess and I find that the step is high to catch these 200 elo points which are nevertheless reached so easily for you!!! In terms of content, I like your advice on the 1500/2000 tranche and your demonstrations of calculations and strategy. Thank you and good luck for the future!

[@rapsag100]

I loved the warnings "Blunder incoming", they were so funny. Great series

14:15 could have played Qxe7!! Winning a piece by Ng6+ forking the queen

[@ftomazoni]

Awesome series Alessia, thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating such fun and helpful content! You're an inspiration for the chess lovers out there who are trying to get better or just have more fun playing! Cheers! :)

[@Marcel0FF]

Your instructions while you play are very cool and unique. In a simple way so it is easy to understand. Symphatic and funny aswell so it is realy entertaining to watch.

[@geauxgaia]

Echo 🙏🏽❤️😊

[@fintan9218]

This series got me to subscribe and follow, and you quickly became one of my favorite chess streamers. Im not sure what exactly it is, as i watch lots of chess content, but i get more from how you explain things. Like i enjoy Levy, and know he has experience teaching chess, but find his explanation hard to follow.

[@pikachufilet]

In game 2 (14:18) you missed queen takes knight on e7 (Qxe7), queen takes queen (Qxe7) and knight on g6 (Ng6+) is a fork and you win back the queen and you win the knight (Kh7 and Nxe7 or Rxe7) I am not sure if you missed it or you just thought that the attack is worth more than the free knight. I am 1600 and you are obviously better than me.

[@1williamdollas]

This is no doubt one of the most instructive series on youtube

[@oldmoves]

That was an outstanding series! I’ve not enjoyed something so much since actually being present for the Karpov v Kasparov matches of long ago. It would be instructive if you played a few games against the myriad of 2300 to 2500 hundred players. I would suggest moving the time control to 5 minutes to prevent them from, how should I say, getting a little silicon assistance which can be done with the 10 minute time control. These would be instructive games for sure. By the way, the players on line with 2500 plus ratings seem to always loose to me when I meet them in OTB chess. (Coincidence?) Keep going and can’t wait for you to reach 100k subscribers.

[@Esltenme]

Loved this series! You got my sub for sure! Great explanation, really appreciated & invigorated my excitement of Chess.

[@vov.7397]

One of the biggest differences between her play and my play: In the last game, she notices the free piece and takes it. If it was me, I move first and then notice the free piece. So. Many. Times! I think I just need to play longer games.

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Ahahah understand the problem is the first step to find solutions

[@fintan9218]

Im proud of myself because i saw it immediately, but started second guessing myself since she didnt say anything at first

[@usibistro]

17:13 "But hey, you know what? You can prolong the pain, but you cannot avoid it." *WHY DOES THIS SOUND SO MESSED UPPP* ????????!?!?!?

watched this series from beginning to end and basically doubled my elo rating, can't thank you enough for the entertainment and hopefully you do similar things in the future :)

[@IsraelRossatiukLopes3]

OMG! I loved to watch every single videos of you! I'm so proud of you and I celebrated at the end! And, yeah, it'll take a hole life to clean up all the stickers

I have seen every video in the series, it has been so entertaining! :D also love the energy lmao!!

[@robertandstein56]

Thank you very much for the educational and entertaining videos. I learned some things from watching, and listening to you give the best play-by-play analysis of any chess streamer.

8:20 u missed queen takes bishop lool

[@andrewwilson9123]

Then they would’ve took the rook

[@bullabubble8821]

h2+ also looks good. white either loses a rook or allows promotion unless im missing smthn

[@user-vw9lj1yn1b]

No, then they take your rook with their queen and you lose an exchange.

[@bullabubble8821]

@@user-vw9lj1yn1b when black takes the bishop theyre also attacking the rook on e7 which is unprotected. so white can either move that rook or exchange rooks, but either way theyve lost the bishop

[@islambouzaher2182]

ve been watching this series for a week now -- so entertaining an usful for real thanks

[@mondzucker1821]

She did it again! Grats, Alessia! I like your our chess-videos very much. Walk on, girl!

[@KancerKowboy]

Honestly this series is what most of us guys are looking for. We want aggressive tactical chess. It seems so hard when you are learning too. You make it look easy and simple to understand. I think even another series like this one would be beneficial. I realize others would be good too. But this is the type of chess that makes people love the game. Positional chess obviously has its place but it doesn't sell the game to new players.

[@valentinodominus7078]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I want you to be my Chess Coach !!! Only don’t try to explain 35 different variables at once or my head will explode! Congratulations & looking forward to your Opening Series!

Congratulations, Alessia! Love this series. Its like watching HBO show, but with a delicate european flavour and italian temperament! 🇺🇦❤️🇮🇹

this series was really informative and your ideas for future videos also sound great :) Maybe just one video suggestion: which books/resources you used to improve. All the best

[@dirksmittenaar5678]

Just discovered your channel, WOW! What a beautiful mind you have. I usually watch Eric Rosen and Hikaru, but YOU are the best at explaining moves and thought processes. You're an awesome teacher, thanks for your GREAT videos.

[@OMEGAFAN1]

Congrats!!! Keep going) I was wondering how many of us now say “free cheese macaroni” every time we take a free piece?

[@Spacebuddy-dm6ps]

Congratulations on reaching 2,000 Elo Alessia! I hope you go on to go past 2,000. All I know, it will be much harder to get past 2,000 than to get to it.

[@paulhildmann8392]

Thanks for this series. Listening to you explain your moves is way more helpful to me than watching videos that just show if this then that. I like the reasoning more than memorization. If you are going to do an opening video, can I request the bishops opening? I appreciate all the time spend on these videos.

[@shlomisela404]

Bravo Alessia ,I went from 800 to 1050 in no time thanks to you! and I know I will go higher. really appreciate your teaching and your fire spirit ,makes it fun to learn . day 20 was the best (BBC revelation} couldn't stop laughing

At 12:00 you didn't actually hang a pawn... You could have finished the variation with Qxd5!! and after they capture with their queen you play Nxc7+ :)

[@gecko_mc9708]

At 8:05 , can't you still take the bishop on h4 with your queen? Because because if he takes your rook on f4, you take his queen with check and also win the rook. If he takes your queen, you just take back with your rook and win a bishop... Is there something I'm missing because I'm only 800 rated😅
