I found your channel the other day. Really clear and very well explained lessons. You deserve many more views than you have!

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. he sounds like he would be a good teacher he keeps it simple. If he was a coach I would take lessons. He obviously did some research 100 games per level.

Thanks for all the tips. This series of videos on improving is really great.

Yeah the thing about pawns is good advice. I feel like newer players hear "advance your pawns first" and they think it means all

I was at almost 1000, then got on a terrible losing streak and now I can’t break 850 😡

What a great way to explain the board. The talent of coaching/training is often overlooked in any skilled area. Well done.

I think this is the first time a recommended video was what I needed to see! Thank you.

I got to 1067 on dropped to 950. I play 4 games per day and have been on a losing streak and berily winning since the 19th and yh I think you're right. I have alr been doing puzzles every single day before tho so.

Concise and brilliant little series (600, 800, 1000…) Great idea to analyze a lot of games in those levels. Blunders and tactics. I find I blunder way more in blitz and especially bullet vs 10 min rapids or longer games.

two weeks ago I watched your video 'tips to get past 800' (or something like that) and I blasted from 780 rating to now lingering between a 920 - 950 rating. Just simply finish developing and castling early helped me hugely to burst trough 800, to now get stuck at 930. Time for this video Thanks for the videos, really fun and helpfull.

Thanks for this, very useful. Can I suggest something else? The thing that's helped me most is concentrating not just on my game, but what the opponent is planning. And...Boring moves to defend pieces is okay. Thanks.

7:29 I think you also win a bishop because if black moves the bishop away after Ng5, Bxf7+ which wins the queen and a pawn for a knight and bishop and stops black from castling

Thank you so much dor your tips I just cracked 1000 I am doing great keep on what you are doing I am now winning more games as black but losing more games as white ⭐You are a great enthusiastic person to show everything you know⭐

At 7:00 you could also consider Nh4 to attack the queen and defend the mate threat.

Nice, Zaaxi! Keep at it, you'll get there. 📈

The change that has worked best for me is to play slower. Following your example I do a pre-takeoff check before moving. That has cut down on my blunders considerably! And if my opponent appears to blunder, before snatching the free piece I take extra care to look for the trap. Thank you.

I've played games where I thought I had smothered mate but I just blundered queen forgetting the king can take it hahaha I've done a lot of smothered mates but it always makes me laugh when I do something dumb like just throwing my queen in without doing the Knight jump stopping the king capturing the queen lol

4:28 "People who thought they were gonna be making a good move, ... but it turned out that it wasn't actually accurate." According to Stockfish, my problem is that sometimes I'll see a move, think "meh" because it's just a pointless check, or a fair exchange, or I lose a piece for a pawn, but it turns out I'd have got some advantage I couldn't see.

What rating is this you are referring to? I'm just asking because e.g. on lichess the rating is some hundred points higher, than on chess.com.

Hi mate. Is your dads name Ruy? (betcha never heard that one before.lol.) i really like your teaching style. it certainly resonates effectively with me. thank you. some of the other chess streamers are arguably more entertaining?! but i attribute my recent leap in rating to you!! and your channel. and maybe david ramirez as well. i love gothamchess; but its all bada bing bada boom and you get all jazzed up and the other guy doesnt play that move. you and ramirez and maybe ben finegold are more about improving me fundamentally by improving my understanding of what im doing and why. which seems to be a key element in improving. there are a lot of kids loaded up with traps and gambits; which if you survive and continue to apply the fundamental strategy sees them start taking maximum time to move; go on vacation; anything to avoid facing reality. whilst you fall for their tricks they are all over you. its a highly exploitable situation. its must be one of the perks of being old.lol. god knows they are few and far between. thanks son. you are teaching an old dog new tricks. and he understands why he is doing them.woof! for the dogbiscuits.duh!

I'm 1032 and in puzzles on lichess I'm 1778, so I dunno why I'm not improving, I noticed that I'm starting to make less blunders but I keep making more mistakes, but I have taken a lot of lessons on endgames so my mistakes are in the middle game, but blundering is till an issue

I dont know why but i have been having a sort of regression lately. I had recently broke 1100 then went on a bad losing streak and just kept making dumb moves. Got back to 1000 though luckily lol. Sometimes i beat players close to 1200 but when im playing against higher rated players i have noticed a huge leap in skill level

7:17 what about Knight h4? That defends checkmate and attacks queen

I'm hovering around 1100 right now. I don't lose to a 1000's but I can't get passed this point and yes, This is a very accurate portrayal of my games.

5:20 Not taking account of a pin is one way a tactic may turn bad.

Interesting

These videos are great and very useful for students. The distinction between blunders and tactics mistakes is very useful, something a basic computer analysis doesn't pick up

Book name.? For puzzles?

instead of playing Ng5 I played I played Ne1 in a simular position and evaluation said it was the best and my opponent blundered by removing the mate

800 elo here but I've been solving puzzles for years and recognize tactics most of the time. In fact I'm about to hit 2k puzzle elo this year but my chess elo is still 3 digits haha. Those dang back-rank-mates get me every time.

How long should we spend working on tactics puzzles a week?

As you gain points you may find yourself against a better-quality opponent. Making it harder to win. Eliminating or at least reducing the number of blunders and generally getting better is the only way to really gain points and make it stick.

I'll be buying that book on tactics.

At 8:40, wouldn't they just take your queen rather than your knight. There's no mate threat since the knight isn't blocking e7

One of my fav chess quotes: if you saw something good look for something better!

Very good usable advice. Right on target. 5/6 of games lost from either blunder or tactical mistake!. I get better results with students doing puzzles from printed paper books - why? because they actually see how much (or little) they did! Some students would do better to avoid super sharp openings like the Fageletto and Fried Liveer Attack, evans gambit etc

Hi please help, i always lose to time. How to play faster? I am almost always in winning positions when i lose to time.

Couple time a week I'll play a game with all the bad habits that I love to get it out of my system.

3:12 my brain was like “-take the queen Me -but there is checkmate down the road My brain - fkk that, take the queen”

hm. i keep grinding puzzles and am getting quite good at them. my rating has been dropping for the last 3 weeks though. Puzzles dont seem to improve my game at all.
