Road to 2200 | Facing a Weird Opening | (2032) | Day 37

[@sosododo2178]

Bishop F4 was such a good suggestion by the engine, you should analyze it more. It's an amazing move

[@yon_chess]

Yeah, I analyzed it a bit more after I ended the recording. That is such a savage move. I didn't look at all the lines during the recording, but some of them are so cool. You don't even take the bishop back with your rook, you give a check with your rook, and most of the lines lead to you winning their queen so they stave off mate. What an insane move that is.

Yon made alot of weird sounds.. and he won 2200. Maybe it's the recipe.

[@yon_chess]

This is the way

[@devdattkul5461]

heyy yon i signed up for 15+5 rapid tournament . since its my first tournament i dont know how to prepare can you help . its on 15th jan 2025 what are the things that i should do

[@yon_chess]

Hey dude! Great to hear you signed up for a tournament. There are a lot of recommendations I have, but first make sure you have a very solid opening repertoire. You should know what you'll play against basically any opening and have stuff prepared. I also recommend having some tricky gambits prepared. I've won (and also lost games) because of tricky gambits catching opponents off. I don't know what your ELO is, so it's hard for me to recommend really specific stuff. There's tons of videos online on how to prepare for a tournaments, too. Make sure to study your tactics and endgames of course too.

Doesn't f6 just hang the bishop anyway? Just curious, but I'm a 1400 noob so I'm probably wrong

[@yon_chess]

You are not wrong my friend, it definitely blunders my bishop. Trust those instincts!

[@Filip_playz]

How are you almost 2100 and don't see obvious things.. like f6, completely hanging the bishop. 1:33

In the chess community it's called Yon Paradox.

[@itchyscorpion7830]

This shows me he doesn't have enough experience

[@devdattkul5461]

@@williamblake7386 i agree with you

[@yon_chess]

My rating is almost 2100 but I don't always play at a 2100 level. I miss things all the time. Happens ya know
