There's Good, and There's Not Good: Chess Advice from a Grandmaster

[@aarongifs]

I don't know why but I love the viewer analyzed stuff

[@vivvpprof]

Could it possibly be because Ben says the games are dumb and that makes you feel better about your chess skills?

[@freddie2.095]

you telling me that guy who sent the game fr is 2000 in blitz?!

[@andrewclastic2835]

Lichess

[@openwoundproductions1662]

Even for lichess these moves are pretty terrible... must not play a lot of long chess. There is no way he plays Qf3 with time on the clock.

[@DamagedBrain24]

@@openwoundproductions1662 The guy who sent the game is black, not white.

[@MiSTeRJoKe96]

Maybe it was for him the first time playing over the board and that makes a lot of difference going from 2D chess to 3D chess

[@f.d.3289]

ah ok so winning a piece = good, while losing the exchange = not good. i have finally reached enlightenment. however, a few moves later: getting your bishop trapped = good. seem i lost enlightenment... AGAIN

[@martinepstein9826]

The first two rules of chess are 1. Never lose the exchange 2. Always sac the exchange

Ben is becoming considerably less grumpy and more relaxed. And I don't like it 🤔🔥

[@A_Lex]

How can any of them has 2000 of blitz rating on Lichess, if we exclude the possibility of cheating?

[@limdoo-yr.8748]

The headstart on blitz is actually helpful reaching 2000 elo. However, if the gameplay doesnt meet the current elo-- you know what happens

[@NoelFallstrom]

One game that could be influenced by distractions, lack of sleep, alcohol, or any number of factors is difficult to use as a refutation of a person's rating. However, if this game is a typical representation rather than an abnormality, I agree that the 2000 rating is very inaccurate and inflated.

[@A_Lex]

@@NoelFallstrom Or a number of games by a series of inspirations and Tal's blessings can be improved. Hm, sounds reasonable🤔

[@TomVennix]

The games that get submitted for viewer analysis, and especially the ones that make it to KZbin, should be entertaining games. That means they're either going to be really good or really bad. Everyone has good days and bad days, you can't tell someone's level just by looking at one bad game they submitted for its entertainment value.

[@A_Lex]

@@TomVennix Let me guess that those who send their games for analysis don't think of themselves as clowns and try to catch the better ones.

[@kmarasin]

Yeah missing f5 was the worst move by far, that's an obvious Noah's Ark trap

[@stephenphelps920]

that's not a Noah's ark

[@yotoober1]

There's a guy doing videos, from STL chess club, poor man's nimzo-Indian then he's not doing the nimzo-Indian?? Alex Spermolinsky

[@XSteve-gz5ko]

Question, why do i watch some of the grandmaster playing chess in youtube vids they seem to be looking at 3 screens, i see them look at the board, then look at screen with the chat, then they look at another screen... then they move. They as i would guess have an engine on the 3rd screen or what?

[@Stromecek1000]

yes Steve every gm on KZbin is a cheater and you should take Kramnik out for a romantic dinner

[@Pfefferhaubitze]

Ivanchuk has even a screen on every ceiling. But only he can see them.

[@f.d.3289]

wonder what good ole kramnik would have to say about that

[@paulgoogol2652]

You can't play online chess anymore without some chess engine. Everybody is cheating.

[@Pfefferhaubitze]

@@paulgoogol2652 Please let it be. Only because you have limited tactical skills doesn't mean, that other players are limited in the same way. For instance if I have enough time, I have a Lichess tactic rating of over 2400 (and I can hear Ben - hihi, Lichess rating ...). In normal case I'm a lot above that number (but it varies - sometimes even a bit below). That doesn't mean sometimes I get crushed, because I didn't see something or underestimated it. For instance in my last OTB game I blundered a whole piece and I won anyway (my first win this season, but not my best game). And this was 4th league from the bottom, not complete beginner chess.
