My favorite attacking setup for white · Road to 2500, Game 52

[@iamrian2000]

Watching someone narrate their real-time calculation is extremely helpful! Thank you! It really helps me get into that practice, instead of the usual don't-think-just-take mindest.

You didn't become angry as in the previous game, even if your opponent played rushed. That is a big improvement.

If you dont want to read peoples messages, you can always play in Zen Mode (Shortcut Z).

Back on track!

[@laszlokorosi9012]

Opponent castled kingside, the h-file wide open, you have a rook on h1 and pieces ready to jump towards his king, so you play on the queenside?! Maybe I have no understanding of chess...

[@bosnbruce5837]

The entire time he tried playing on the queen's side for the sake of WHAT, although the h file is screaming for an attack. And then he abandons the h file with Rf1 just like that. This is the part where something should be said about tactics and strategy, but I don't know what.

[@large_crab]

I was also baffled by that

[@MarcoHernandez-Muniz]

Should we expect a road to V8 series??

[@mbyt7774]

Well done, despite this opponent playing if anything even faster !

[@webm0nk3y]

The mirror is a smart move

[@chriso6884]

Funny...I was yelling at the computer screen "Bh3! Bh3!" Of course, I miss stuff like that all the time.

[@SharpTern]

It's like this person watched the last few videos and said, "i know how to rattle hpy! I'll play entirely on increment and point out moves he missed!"

[@aitchtea]

suggestion #1 for decreasing emotional influence on playing: never resign. your ease with abandoning a game is more emotional than strategic. all human players blunder. your opponent may be about to give the game away, but a glum defeatist resignation prior to that moment limits these options. this happens in a tiny, minuscule number of games, but it happens, and this embodies the player’s dedication. careers have been made on these rare moments. i imagine every super-gm have benefited from these rarities.

d4 is not an attack

[@dominikmarton2370]

?

[@Tburt-mx5kg]

i think hes referring to d4 games being much more of a positional grind than e4. its hard to say you are attacking when youre sitting passively for the first 20 moves trying to find a plan

[@MrIAMpeanut]

lol ok
