Chess Lesson Series: David Pakman | Openings & Middlegame

Ойындар

➡️ LEARN CHESS WITH ME: chessly.com/
On July 16, 2020, I coached David Pakman, a political pundit, who is the host of the internationally syndicated political television and talk radio program The David Pakman Show. He's rated 1100, and we talked about openings and middlegame thought process.

    I agree with him. You started popping out a couple weeks ago for me and you are by far one of the best teachers, imho, available in youtube / twitch etc. Teaching chess is not only about your rating strength, but how do you convey your line of thought and overall intentions with every move - which you do a great job. Again, my opinion, but you and John Bartholomew are by far the best in conveying the information in a digestible way for everyone - high to lower ratings. Hats off to you, Levy, I learned A LOT already. Thank you!

    Not only is he an intermediate player with some good foundational knowledge of the game, but he's a very well-spoken person who is able to articulate what he knows and doesn't know with a greater honesty than most people would have. This video is so helpful and I really applaud both Levy and David for making this!

I've been playing since I was around six or seven, and I've recently set out on a mission to try to compile a list of the best free material to learn the game and play it well. Believe me when I tell you that I've looked at a *lot* of free chess content, and this is absolutely some of the best help available. Well done, sir. 👏

    @@kirikouthemightyandstrong3183 It depends how strong you are and which part of your game you're trying to improve. Assuming you're at a beginner to intermediate level, I couldn't say enough good things about Eric Rosen. He has a lot of good KZread videos, and if you watch him play on Twitch, he comments on his games while he's playing, so you know his thought process, what he's looking at and what his plan is. It's a huge help in learning to look at chess in the right way and learning how to "think like a chess player." If you look at the KZread channels of the CCSC, both Saint Louis and Atlanta, they have a series of videos geared toward specific rating levels (1200 and under, 1400 and under, etc), but most of those are taught by GM Ben Finegold, whom a lot of people don't care for. I think he's a great teacher, but some folks just don't like him. And if you want to learn some lesser known openings or gambits that are unknown (and therefore less likely to be familiar to your opponent), I would recommend Jonathan Schrantz. Those are just a few from my list, but they'll definitely get you started. And that's in addition to Levy's series of videos, of course; they're all great, too. Good luck and happy playing.

    This chess lesson was very interesting and I learned a lot of useful ideas about the Vienna system that I will try out in my games. As a French player, I have never liked playing the Exchange variation as Black and White. I find the game can be a bit boring and unexciting. But the point Levy made about getting the knight and bishop out and castling early is very valid.

  • @danusiaspock9253

    The exchange French is pretty unexciting; white just plays it to avoid getting bogged down in all the memorized lines that the typical French player seems to have stored up, just play chess. Similar to playing Vienna - fewer people knowing theory (especially at David's level), so he can just play chess. So I agree with the advice to David in this video. When he's focusing on improving his general chess, he doesn't want to get sidetracked learning reams of theory for just one opening. Nobody is forcing anyone to play the ugly 1 ... e6 in the first place -- if they get bored in the exchange French, they should play a different defense. The moment you follow up with d5, there's no way to prevent the exchange.

And if the black side is not careful , there is potential for pawn f6!! +4 i think, with mating nets. Now , your thoughts on this.???

    Marko Sobol Ah ok I see. I enjoy playing against it tbh. I rarely see it though. Usually the original variation.

    The hardest line to play is the one after 1 e4 d5 2 ed Nf6 3 Bb5+ Use an engine to work out the best few variations for that and everything else comes pretty easily. Also you need to be willing to play a gambit if white tries c4, but it's such a strong Gambit that you almost never see it.

    Not sure if it was a happy accident or intentional, but I love how their cameras are oriented so when they glance to the side it’s the appropriate one the other is speaking from (David looks right, Levi looks left).

    At 37:30, once the knight moves to f2, why not just castle? (The knight blocks the bishop so castling is now allowed)

    Woah, I wasn't really paying attention, I didn't read the description or the text that says "Teaching David Pakman ~1100 elo" on the screen. I genuinely thought he was another GM or titled player helping Levy teach. He carries himself really confidently, I was waiting for him to start taking over and explaining a concept until I realized that he was the one being taught.

    Gotham, at 24:48 you suggest pushing the pawn to C3 is okay. How would you feel about trading the bishop for the knight on D4 in this scenario? I feel like that gets some of the pressure off of your queen to guard and would be worth it.

    12:49, if queen g3, then other than fork there is knight e4 sacrifice to bring the bishop to h4 right, cause I would do that if I was playing with black pieces.

    What Pakman said is true I just started seeing Gotham videos about two weeks even the ones he did months ago, it really surprised me the first day I saw his video that he has 8 months ago.

    Mind me I’m new to chess. In the Vienna, after playing the bishop to c4, what if my opponent sets up the attack pawn a6 and pawn b5? Do I just pull back to b3?
