Streamers Battle, August 2022 | Blitz Chess Tournament #41

This is a Streamers Battle that was held on lichess.org on August 22nd, 2022. 8 teams competed in this 2-hour event of 3|0 blitz. Team ChessNetwork was the team I competed for, naturally, along with 395 teammates. Members of the same team do not get paired against each other. The sum of the top 20 performers' scores equals the final team total for this event. In my mind if you compete for a team, you are a help to a team. Even if you are outside of the top 20 for team ChessNetwork, you are pushing other members to score higher. Moreover, defeating or even losing a hard fought battle to other competitors helps keep the scores of other teams less. Many thanks to all competitors of the Streamers Battle, August 2022, especially those who played for team ChessNetwork. :)
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Jerry fans are truly blessed lately

[@IngoziDanger]

🤣😂yeah, true chess streamers, not the covid quarantine streamers

[@lifes3ps]

Jerry is my entire “solve my insomnia” playlist. Well done team!

[@rokuronzoni6274]

It's moments like 12:00 that make watching Jerry so enjoyable. Even in blunders, he laughs at himself. Good video as always. Thanks for uploading

[@smokeye9765]

That's hard to watch when I am yelling "play faster Jerry, play faster" and it leads to blunders like that.

[@user-svqmbiv]

One of his more popular videos is him getting back ranked by like a 900

[@yannigogo2863]

Always a pleasure to open KZbin and see and new content from Jerry, thank you man !

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you for watching. 👍

[@Juancholoco710]

Watching you play makes me feel like I have no idea how to play chess lol. I’ve learned a lot with your channel. Thanks for the valuable channel 🙏

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you 👍

[@Juancholoco710]

@@ChessNetwork thank you! 🙏

[@joeyxxx8848]

Admire your clear, strong positional play. Very instructive both visually and verbally. Thanks for the good work$!

[@naturalmystic67]

"Undefeated and winless"... reminds me of my own record vs Carlsen.

[@KF1]

Like now, watch later. Looking forward to this when I get home. Glad you're posting!

[@marshallrose8762]

glad to see you're playing and streaming, great value! thanks!

[@zacnomore]

Hey Jerry its everyone.

[@aymanahafeez]

Its really educational Thanks man u❤

[@juancuenca6804]

thank you man !

[@hamba1998]

Well done Jerry and Team for a good performance, I was working on Monday or else I'd have loved to take part! Any chance of you competing in any of the Chess960 World Championship qualifiers Jerry? I remember a couple of videos (or maybe streams?) you did on Chess960 a long time ago which I found super instructive. I know titled players get a pass to stage 2 of the lichess qualifiers, and it would be awesome to see how you do!

[@drinkxyz]

In the second game you could've forced the rooks off with Rf3+ after Rf4+ for a winning pawn ending.

[@jayr3276]

As always, I love the content. Would you consider playing longer games, where you can take more time explaining your thought process behind each move?

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you. I have a playlist with longer games. kzbin.info/aero/PLQsLDm9Rq9bHwqL_f-6OzC4OowhoVRfxd

[@vinestreetalternative7398]

Jerry, love your videos. Just a thought, have you considered berserking more in these tournaments? It would be a way to chalk up more points for your team, maybe set a rule that every time you face someone under 2000 you auto berserk. Good idea?

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you. There’s definitely some strategy there.

[@tobsi2256]

I always saw that as some sort of respect towards other players and appreciate the 'taking every opponent on the same way' approach. However, in team tournaments berzerking would help all players of your team...

[@Juancholoco710]

You crush 2500’s lol. In lichess I’m 1900. I need a coach like you! 🤣

[@joshTheGoods]

I can't believe you still admit that you're a Browns fan after this Watson bullshit.

[@ChessNetwork]

For sure it’s an ugly position his presence puts lifetime Browns fans in. I wish he wasn’t on the team. I hope Brissett goes 10-1, with that single loss being to Baker in Week 1.

[@joshTheGoods]

@@ChessNetwork well, I guess at the end of the day, you all are getting the biggest punishment possible for still supporting the Browns, and that's ... ya know ... having to watch the Browns. 😜

[@TheAtheist22]

Jerry is like Jesus. He appeared once and this is about 2000 years later. His 2nd coming. 😂🤣

[@mitic8231]

Hi it's Jerry

[@MrBennyC178]

Hi Jerry, it’s Deez Nuts 😂

[@djmarycruz]

Hi

[@baple]

Why is Jerry’s life so secretive. He’s always so vague. “I haven’t been playing much chess” then tell us wtf you are doing then! We want to know! I also know many of us are dying to know what you chose to do instead of having the biggest chess channel on KZbin and twitch. Jerry was the first big chess channel before the chess boom, if he had been more regular with content and took his channel as his full time job, he coulda been the biggest chess channel out there, so I’m really curious as to what he chose to do instead of that.

[@randairp]

0:30 I think he said he was playing Nintendo.

[@Kandecid]

I assume he probably has a stable and well-paying job and enjoys chess as a hobby.

[@baple]

@@Kandecid thanks for more vauge info :( I'm curious as to what that stable and well paying job is that he wouldn't want to make at minimum 10k a month from his hobby.

1:27:23 The most shocking premove I’ve ever seen in my life

[@AgentSmith911]

Not really, cuz if Black had pushed the pawn instead of taking, the pre-move would get cancelled.

[@richardfredlund3802]

@@AgentSmith911 yeah those recaptures are totally safe premoves

[@SixNAC]

congrats on the fourth place!
