I wish everyone played this against me · Road to 2500, Game 28

[@EgoCZ]

The big accuracy is a little bit misleading, because since the point he lost the knight it doesn't really matter what he would play (everything is losing anyway) so his accuracy seemed higher and the same thing goes to you.

[@vrebds2484]

23:27 some Noob called _Emanuel Laskar_ shouting from the parallel world, 📢 *“When you see a good move, look for a better one”*

[@kylen6430]

“Trapping the knight wasn’t a blunder?” Sometimes when this happens, it’s gradual. A knight starts to be misplaced and one by one squares start to disappear. Pretty soon, the knight is as bad as trapped. So it’s not a blunder but just series of mistakes

[@dudidosch]

I saw the rook was hanging and was shocked you didn’t take it haha :D but you were already winning so it didn’t matter

[@RagnarChess-ndjiskf65]

I love the stonewall Dutch as black whenever someone plays something I dislike against the slav/semislavs I normally play in classical, recently beat a 2200 with it convincingly.

[@YT-Account_21344]

I was confused why you didn’t capture the rook.

[@thesouthernist8174]

Stepjan’s was on the other side of the board and in particular winning the knight. Add in his opponent’s quick play, it’s explainable.

[@bluefin.64]

Tactical oversights happen to even the best players. They don't mean anything by themselves. What matters is a pattern, a combination of the nature and frequency of them.

[@thesouthernist8174]

Nice win there Stepjan - always in control.

[@AnlamK]

It may be fair to say up until 2100-2200 Lichess rapid, games are (or at least could be if one of the sides were tactically stronger) decided by tactical mistakes.

[@diggitus]

I think that's true well beyond that range

[@AnlamK]

@@diggitus Well recently hpy played against a 2500 rated player and that game wasn't decided by tactics. But you are right about the prevalence of tactical mistakes in all rating ranges.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

It's not that weird. Until say 1990 Black played the Stonewall with the bishop on e7. By then the verdict already had been "favours White" for a few decades.

[@Scmonk]

I really dislike the stonewall or stonewall like positions. I always struggle with coming up with a good plan and usually mess up with a bad breakthrough. Against the regular move order of the dutch i usually play the 2. g4 gambit to just avoid these kinds of positions.

[@onniruusunen9444]

on move 14 instead of e3, nxe5, fxe5,f6 seems reasonable to me

[@monkeyddragon83]

Ciao, hai un titolo Fide di maestro?

[@AnlamK]

Average accuracy doesn't mean very much. If you play 20 moves and win a piece and then play 90 more moves in a winning endgame with an extra piece, the average accuracy will be really high. That's not because you played really well; it's more so that once you are up a piece, it's hard to make "inaccurate" moves, as Lichess defines it.

[@Scmonk]

This even more so applies to really drawish positions. I once had a otb game in the exchange caro-kann, where my opponent forced alot of trades, leading to positions, where there were nearly alway at least 4 or 5 moves, that just keep the position equal or really close to equal, despite the queens and rooks still being on the board. Up to move 33(where lucky for me, my opponent blundered) both sides centipawnloss was below 10, because finding accurate moves was just super easy. I ended up with an accuracy of 97% while my opponent had 92%.

[@herack5928]

I think the opponent forgot what time control they signed up for

[@Banigoat]

Have you tried the Hopton attack ? I have very good success with it and it's also praised by the engine (it's a completely sound variation)

[@robwatson1617]

Stjepan has made a video on the Hopton Attack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIXJdqV7fK-lo7s

It's always good to get an easy win! :)

You should change your channel name to Hanging Rooks! lol

You r doing a great job my man ONLY ONE THING I WANT TO SUGGEST YOU, WHICH MAY HELP U IN GAINING MORE VIEWS IS THAT, DONT HESITATE TO TALK, LIKE U Explanation IS VERY GOOD TO BE HONEST BUT U HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT MORE EXCITING BECAUSE CHESS IS A GAME MANY People DONT UNDERSTAND LOVE FROM INDIA SIR...

[@cliffbunch2725]

You opponent has been playing too much blitz or bullet

[@Trynoo]

What about 25. Qxh5 instead of Qb2? Am I missing something?

[@HangingPawns]

You're not. I missed it.

[@Trynoo]

​@@HangingPawns this things happen in the heat of battle.

[@Jokarix11]

@@HangingPawns anyway all in all a good and quick win🙂👍

[@elrodtherocker]

@@HangingPawns Funny thing is, Qb2 is almost as good and from a human perspective maybe stronger! Seems safer to me at least.

[@NicoSeven7]

Sure, but we're not GMs so It's fine. 👍

[@ChimeMemeh]

your chess understanding looks a bit off you must mainly make your decisions on the structrures and piece placements rc1 looks nice but seeing that black can take on c4 let me be concerned and the engine aggreed just try to be a bit more attaentive f all pieces and pawns on the board

[@mohamedsalimbouchaib8565]

Sometimes, the video title spoils the result of the game. which can be demotivating to watch the video. PS: Great channel. Wish you best continuation

[@humansareweird2866]

Accuracy means nothing,look at the centipawn loss, that's much more important. Ο αντίπαλος δεν ήταν ούτε για τάβλι,πόσο μάλλον για σκάκι.

[@DhrjMakj]

I'll be honest I was seeing her

Yep let sdo it. Lets play with me, whats your lichess ID ?

[@cz19856]

People who think when they are already lost... Why do you even play slow chess? The dopamine hit?

[@siraf1234]

Tilt, long day at work, try to play quickly and see how it goes. Many reasons for it

[@railspony]

You're underestimating the potential for unexpected resources in difficult positions.

[@Surreal_Bread]

Lol there is no dopamine in slow chess.

[@wilyoldtimer]

If you are really serious about this challenge and testing yourself you should be playing people with a higher rating than you, not players with equal or levels below yours.

[@elrodtherocker]

Hard to find games with that time control.

[@piouswhale]

Rapid pool is small. And filled with cheaters at higher levels

[@DhrjMakj]

​@@piouswhaleHow about the 5 minutes blitz pool?

[@Scmonk]

@@DhrjMakj Blitz is not really the time format for someone who wants to improve his classical chess. In classical games you sometimes need to take more time for one move, than you would need for multiple blitz games

[@DhrjMakj]

@@Scmonk I love chess because of the 5 minutes blitz

[@rosin87]

Finally first?!
