The Thinking System That Wins Chess Games Consistently

[@WHAT-gm1xm]

Hey brother 👋🏻 tell me what is the ABC chess calculation

[@ronin_7777]

great video as usual❤ I am waiting for the video against francis take your time ❤

[@journeytograndmaster]

Thanks! Yes, I remember about that :)

It’s amazing your accuracy on calculation. The Rules you mention and the real time thinking process in a slow game are very instructive. On the other hand, it seems that chess softwares decrease their performance by making intentional blunders among really strong moves. Best regards.

Thanks! I also have a lot of videos where I play against real people :)

[@audiofilo8249]

@@journeytograndmaster actuallly, all of them are extremely useful. Please, keep this line, far from the most of chess masters where only analize games or play bullet with poor explanations. By the way, maybe you could try your same method with chess endings, at least the most relevant ones. Just a suggestion. Thanks and success!

Have you tried adjusting the level on the Maia engines? When set to level 4 and Maia 7 it takes 10 secs to make a move, but is much stronger than level 1. There is a confusing problem though, which is that it doesn’t always work (you can tell by the move time). When it is working is very good for practice, especially endgames where it finds lots of tricky resources 😮.

I think I have just made it to 1500. But you are saying that levels and ratings of Maia are two different settings, right?

[@roqsteady5290]

@@journeytograndmaster Yes. If you select the Bot Match option, then look at the Maia tab, there is a slider at the bottom: "Engine Search depth" that you can adjust independently of the Maia Elo setting. You can tell if that setting is being used, because Maia instead of moving instantly, takes some time to make it's moves. I reckon Chessnut need to clarify this feature, as it is isn't clear how it affects the elo (and it doesn't appear to work reliably, as I said). Note also that the Stockfish tab also has a slider, but that sets maximum time for a move directly. But similary there is no information on how it affects the elo.

how can I play against maia?

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

I don't kno. These are 'puter programs?

[@Kamadev888]

@@R.Akerman-oz1tf Yes, especially on the Chessnut evo computer.

[@DhrjMakj]

Lichess Beta app

[@roqsteady5290]

The Evo implementations of Maia are more configurable than on Lichess

[@journeytograndmaster]

Well, I am using the Chessnut EVO Maia so to play against it you need the Chessnut Evo board. But you can also find some AI engines to play with online, I suppose

[@mathewsamuel1386]

I need to get better at calculation. What should I do, please? I need help.

[@JessieGriffin-u8s]

Where you get that chessboard ??

[@roqsteady5290]

It’s a Chessnut Evo. You can Google that. If you do get one make sure to use JTGs discount code. Also JTG did a good review of it in a recent vid.

[@journeytograndmaster]

The link and discount code ("journeytograndmaster") are in the description. It's called Chessnut EVO
