This is why openings don't matter that much up to like 2000+. His opponent was 1950, and even my 1100 ass could tell he played very weirdly, but he would have destroyed me any day, and even Danya was confused for a bit about what the winning approach was (of course he found it quickly after, but we could not have). I should really focus on tactics & endgames, but I just can't seem to improve :(

[@HugoHenriqueGrah]

Yeah, a general understanding of the game is much more valuable than memorizing moves

[@KF1]

About improving, just keep watching. I got to 1800+ on lichess just from watching vids and playing. Would love to break 2000 at rapid or blitz! Have found at 1200-1600 lichess rating, another great channel to watch is Chess-Network, who likes to keep it simple and play positionally. I find Jerry's play a bit easier to understand than Danya's more aggressive/tactical style, which requires more depth of awareness.

"Before you go about trying to order the entire board, you have to clean up your own development" "There's something extremely profound about learning to bear the responsibilities of your position and bringing light to the pieces around you" "You have to socialize your opening by move 4 or else it will be rejected by its peers" "If you give a player who just lost the world championship serotonin they will get back up and fight again" - Danya B Peterson Make sure to pick up copies of "12 rules for chess" by Nimzovich and "Beyond move order" an analysis of Jobava's openings today.

As a 1900 player, I face these players a lot. I think they have a limited understanding of positional concepts but are very tactical aware, so that they can make it work anyway. It’s probably very likely that they would gain a lot of elo if they took some time and studied the game.

[@joshberry4322]

King f8 in that position is the most GM move ever... You really think I'm not going to ceaselessly check him until I run out of time and lose

[@alexanderreusens7633]

Yes, but it seemed so obvious when he played it. "Of course you want to bring your other rook into the attack, and of course you saw that long castling would get your king in trouble, so kf8 is the logical conclusion". Of course lol

[@StormKillzone]

Guess I am a GM 😎

[@maxkho00]

I think Re8 was far more GM-like, actually. Kf8 is a very natural move, just bringing the last piece into the attack (with check!), and I'm sure would be one of the first considerations by any attack-minded player. Re8, on the other hand, doesn't seem to do a whole lot initially, as it's controlling a file that the king is running away from, anyway. Mind you, it's still relatively natural as it still develops the last inactive piece, but if we had to pick which one of Kf8 and Re8 was more GM-like, it would definitely have to be Re8.

It's rather interesting to see the endgame position, then watch Daniel slowly reach that position, figuring out how it got so dominant.

But playing against players helps you learn blunders in many openings, especially at 800 where people actually play 1.e5 2.f6 which is an immediate blunder.

[@rolettuce9654]

The classic Greek gift squanders quite a bit of black's advantage. After Bxh2 Kxh2 Ng4 Kg1 Qh4 black can just calmly defend with Bf4, engine eval goes to 0. What he played (Ng4) was a more testing line, and kept most of the advantage (-4 for Ng4 vs -2 for best line after Bxh2). The Greek gift isn't worth pursuing here (as he stated during the game).
