Playing Chess until I hit 2000: Day 151

#chess
This is day 151 of my journey to get to a rating of 2000 on chess.com.
In this game we play the classical dutch defense.
I was very pleased with the way I played this game. To learn, I need to remember to develop if I'm stuck.
So far on the series:
96 wins 9 draws 75 losses

I’d never seen the Dutch before watching this channel, interesting opening

[@Blunder_Man]

Yeah! It's a very underplayed opening but very strong and has a lot of fun ideas!

[@ultimate_knight129]

@@Blunder_Man yeah, cuz stockfish doesnt like it that much, but if u play carelfuully it can be a strong attacking kingsdisede attack game!

[@pax1913]

I've been watching for a few weeks now w/o commenting, KZbin keeps recommending me your videos because I also play the Dutch, gameplay aside I feel like the quality of the videos has also improved! You have a great format right here :)

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks so much Mr. Pax! Is your name from the Red Rising series? haha, my favorite character in the book was Pax. I am trying to work on my end game analysis sections. I think the video I'm posting in a few hours is maybe my most edited, but I think the end game analysis needs to be edited because that's where the learning can happen for people. Thanks for the feedback!

Great content brotherr, I m rated 1200 in rapid and your videos prove to be quite informativee.. Love from India :)

[@Blunder_Man]

Thank you so much brother!! I'm a big fan of Indian chess at the minute! Hahaha

[@nigelburley8955]

congrats Owen, everything about your channel is moving along in a very positive direction but most importantly it's really enjoyable to see how content you are back in the UK. keep it up bro & all the best from Oz, i'll be catching the streams post event but your idea to do lessons is fabbo!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks Nigel!! I really appreciate the support from you!

[@elliottwoods5636]

another good looking game. really appreciate the extra breakdown at the end, good stuff!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks Elliott! Glad you're enjoying the breakdowns! I'll try to keep making them!

[@r0bz0rly]

nicely done man, good time usage, good tactical thinking. love the dopamine hit from a great move on the analysis board haha

[@Blunder_Man]

Haha, thanks man! Yeah, I felt pretty good this game, the one bad move, but overall pretty solid!

[@Mister-Germ]

Great game Owen! Thanks for the analysis on the Dutch. Sometimes my friends play the Dutch when I play 1. d4. Keep it up!

[@Blunder_Man]

I'm glad it's helpful for you! It's helpful for me to speak my thoughts and figure out what moves are mistakes by me and what I need to be playing in my games instead

[@yorel2913]

Excellent gameplay brother well done

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks yorel!!

[@KerTon4]

Looked really solid to me. GGs

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks kerton! Thanks for checking out the game!

[@ultimate_knight129]

good calculator btww

[@Overpowered_Shorts]

Also i had a doubt that why is Rxf8 better than forking the rook and the knight ?

[@Blunder_Man]

When are you referring to in the video?

[@Overpowered_Shorts]

@@Blunder_Man 6:30

[@Blunder_Man]

Whoa haha, if I would have seen the fork I would have played that. It looks very good... But I guess it's not quite as powerful as the move I played ... That's honestly really surprising

[@ultimate_knight129]

in ur previous vid when i guess someone said u should play15+10 maybe u can try 10+5 its a bit hided just click more time controls. Are there less cheaters in 10+5 i think

[@Blunder_Man]

I had tried 10+5, and the first game trying I had a cheater so I just quit trying. But I think I'm sorting out my time troubles. Quick moves immediately are helping, I don't need to waste time at the start

[@ultimate_knight129]

g4 blocks ur onw queen

[@Blunder_Man]

Hmmm

[@zackpane7973]

no offense but Anna took 8hours

[@Blunder_Man]

What does this mean haha
