One thing I quite like to do is watching a video of opening theory while having a lichess analysis board open. That way I can immediately know what moves at my level the video's missing and I can check if the lines I want to try out are approved by the engine. After I am done, I can copy the PGN and import it into chessbook, saving quite a lot of time.

this is what I do as well! although to beginners I would recommend watching the videos in full the first time around and then possibly rewatching whilst playing on an analysis board. sometimes it can be a bit distracting and you end up not absorbing the information properly.

Interesting process... and obviously brilliant guy. I wonder if chessable can fit into any of this, and if the other tools are better or just different. I've purchased a number of chessable courses, and they work quite well. I am following a Taimanov Sicilian opening speed run by Chessbrah's GM Aman atm, and unfortunately they don't have a chessable course (which I'm encouraging them to make, I get approximately 3 likes, lol, not sure if that's going to happen any time soon). I'd started with a chessable, and got a bit discouraged, and so I was thinking maybe I'd just write out the lines by hand with links to the video, and then I can collate it later. The fun thing to do is to just watch a bit of the video, and play. Originally I got sucked in and watched a video or two, and then played, and I remembered it, and felt inspired, but now I am realizing that I don't retain everything and I'd like a more comprehensive approach, but it seems more like work. Often I just watch a segment of a video until Aman finds a tactic, and then I play a game or two on my own. I've had good results from this process btw, nearly 100 elo higher than when I started without using a training account. I think tbh use of the London may have been stunting my progress.

of course courses are going to be beneficial, but i don't want to paywall Chess advice i give on this channel for the most part, and some of the courses there can be exceptionally pricey. i've also heard Chessable has a similar alternative to ChessBook which is handy for anyone that already has Chessable. Speedun's are great from Grandmasters and other titled players (at one point in the video, a timelapse features a Daniel Naroditsky speedrun). they can be exceptionally long though, in Danya's case you get 1 game per hour of watch time which can be a little frustrating as he continues to talk about the position even when its completely winning and not really beneficial to be analysing anymore (everything wins pretty much). i use the London System primarily as white, and to be honest it doesn't really stunt your growth as long as you keep playing the London, however if you try to switch openings it'll be naturally harder because most openings don't employ similar ideas to that of the London. its very positional and if you switch to a tactical opening you'll probably run into some problems. good luck with your grind though, and congrats on your recent Elo gain!

yeah i was in the same boat until recently. got to pretty much 2150 without studying any openings (London & Caro are pretty systematic) but then i started getting annoyed with constant dull positions. decided to formulate a study plan for my Caro repertoire - worked really well so decided to learn the Sicilian with it too. never too late to start learning openings hahahah

How long do you spend analysing a game in the learning stage? A quick skim of the opening or something more in depth? PS the linked document is a transcript of this video, I was expecting your sample document of Sicilian lines.

@jacksarkisian

6 күн бұрын

oops, have changed the link to the correct document now, thankyou! how long you should spend analysing your games really depends on your analysis skills. at my rating, i can afford to quickly skim over game reviews as my analysis can be extremely quick because i have a fast understanding of positions. if you're not so confident, analyzing can take up to 20 minutes per game - however its important to note that in regards to openings, you reach a certain point of no return. what i mean by this is the game will reach a point where the resulting positions aren't due to the opening you played, but your middlegame proficiency. this means that around halfway through your games, you can stop thinking about your opening prowess and more about your tactical know-how, and endgame ability. this becomes separate to the study of your opening.

of course you can, ChessTempo is a decent alternative to ChessBook (Chessable might have a free option as well?). but in my opinion ChessBook is much nicer and easier to use.

KID is the strongest opening against the London System if that helps, but sadly I'm not very educated on it & videos like this where I need to learn an entire opening from scratch are super tricky. maybe my Caro-Kann video will help you out also?

where would you stick learning each variations principles its typical middle game plans and main ideas. is it where your writing down the variations at the beginning?. for beginners or adult improvers .understanding the principles and key ideas can help more than learning specific variations to a T .. just because the game doesnt stay on thoery for long. at 800 elo. maybe a few game reviews after you played each game might help alot too.?

@jacksarkisian

6 күн бұрын

generally looking at a public Lichess study should help with this. at the end of theoretical lines, there should be a footnote explaining the ideas you want to employ once you've reached a certain position. if you find your opponents are making very obscure moves that give you a vague advantage, you should definitely just confer with an engine as well. make a "waiting move" for your opponent (shuffle the king potentially) and see what the engine comes up with if the opponent simply waits. its a long process to discover every little detail about an opening you've just learnt, which will take multiple months to get right. but everything mentioned in this video will put you right on track to achieve this.

Is it necessary to memorise can u not just learn the first few moves and know the ideas play and analise your games if u made a bad move then change it up with a good move instead

@jacksarkisian

6 күн бұрын

this works for systematic openings, but you'll continuously get terrible positions if you try it with any others. just because a move looks natural doesn't mean its good, in many cases natural moves in the opening lose the game straight away. if you don't remember the moves, your opponents will - meaning you give your opponent the chance to leave the opening advantageously every game you play.
