These are really interesting to me as a novice because an expert player against a novice looks, to an unexperienced eye, like novice vs. novice. I expect (again from my naive perspective) for an expert player to dominate immediately but because of the focus on patience and development and because that development doesn't look like "smart" play without your commentary, the overall play doesn't look that lopsided. With your commentary, though, it's clear just how much control you have over the board. Very powerful information for me as I am learning the game.

Strong tournament players vs. mediocre players, it's generally the same thing. Making consistent good moves and playing solid principles will win over a much weaker player over time, the VAST majority of the time. Trying wild and unsound stuff can be a LOT more random.

Firstly, he could instead of taking the bishop, take the white pawn, and trade queens, which is more forcing, but not forced since now he would attack the bishop and the queen, and after the queen trade, the attacker has less pieces to attack with, and this lets the other side more chances

My whole life I’ve been just okay at chess, but watching these videos has drastically improved my game. My dude really teaches in a super approachable and simple way

yo i just finished your last video, it helped me out a lot lol i won 3 out 5 games that i played after watching your video, especially the pins and all that really helped me , keep it up man , i'll make sure to watch all the videos in this series

heck yea, good start to the vid. i saw what they were doing and thought "oh no not this" and i always lose the pawn because i immediately go Nh6 then lose the pawn to Qxe5+ and then it gets complicated. i have not been keeping track, but i feel like i usually keep this type of enemy locked in for many moves and can win if i dont blunder. i am rated 490-570, idk if thats too wide to claim but i get crazy win streak sometimes and then i go on losing streaks when i peak i feel like.

Thank you ChessVibes, i’m learning so much from your videos - they really help alot with me getting out of 200 elo and going up (yes im that bad). You explain every move so I know why a move is a blunder. Thank you

36:34 Bd8+ would also be good as it opens up a revealed attack on the rook

Im only 800 so i suck and the problem i have is i study openings several moves deep but when i play against a lower rated player like myself they always make weird moves that don't follow any lines and I'm not sure how to continue and punish them and things just get messy.

It Develops The Bishop When U Skewer (If They Dont Notice) 3. It Protects The Bishop Because If They Notice It They Wont Take And Block The Absolute Skewer And You Can Do Bxg2 Putting You Up In Material By 13 Instead Of 10 And The Absolute Skewer When You Do Pd6 Is Bg4 Pd5 Is Also Correct But Pd6 Is Better As You Dont Lose A Piece

No, actually after d6, they can take the bishop on a1 with the queen, you are only thinking bout your own moves.

Cool explanation, thanks!

I just played that against the 1500 rated computer. Where it loves to use its queen constantly. Because I messed up a little in the middle game. It went the distance and I lost. It did do some moves I did not expect and caught me off guard with trying to scramble to fix it. We are all still learning. I love the computer because it does not play around. It takes the best moves it can per piece at the time. I love the challenge.

11:15 I'm still not sure if the Fried-liver attack is good for beginners because at that level it tends to actually be easier to defend than attack. Still a lot of potential learning opportunities by doing it.

I'm impressed with the 300s finding d5 in the fried liver.

Regarding what you said in Game Four about exceptions to principles, each principle has a purpose. In that game, you didn't develop much, but that was okay. The purpose of developing is to have more pieces in the game than your opponent, meaning you are *more* developed than the other person. In moving the bishop, you eliminated all of your opponent's developed pieces, so even though a few moves in you had only developed one knight and one bishop, the other player had nothing developed and was missing a knight, bishop, and rook, so they were behind in development. By forcing pins, skewers, and and forks, sometimes sacrificing development can cost your opponent even more development than you put in, making it an investment, not a true sacrifice.

In the first game, what does Qb3 actually threaten? If Bx7+, you simply play Ke7->, Nd4 is on the way, if it isn't there already, and white no longer has an attack.

Good point, according to stockfish white is already down -3.2 after Qb3 Nd4.

33:47 Bishop to G5, then if the queen captures you can push the pawn for a discovered attack on the queen + check on king. You'll lose the bishop and pawn but win the queen, right? EDIT: Oh. Nevermind. That's good.

Yea i agree it would be cool to see him make a big blunder purposely to learn how he would go about trying to win still. Never resign at low elo, half the time youll get draw or stalemate because they cant find checkmate.

Glad to see a game involving En Passe. Not many players are aware of this rule.

“Let’s see, do I have time, another few minutes” at the 20 minute mark of a 40min video. So true.

Thank you very much. I just punished a scholaro mate! 🙂 I got theyr queen and they resigbed💀💀

I always move knight to the square below the queen and they usually immediately take the pawn pinned by the queen and bishop, WITH the queen, so i take back with the knight and they resign

The first opponent literally says: im about end this man whole career, Oh no he didnt play what im learning!

What a awesome awesome video love it

Scholar’s mate is so many openings against me. Remember pawn>knight>pawn>queen. If they take your queen you are using your undeveloped knight to take and you are ahead already. A forking knight attack will work because no queen left to defend

10:46 "and yes we are giving up our knight for free" *Opponent resigns to the fried liver!

At 7:24, why not throw in Qa6+ first and then you can take the rook Edit: I thought about it more after sleeping and I realized that taking Bxd2 is a free Bishop, where Qa6+ then Bxa1 is a rook but you lose your Bishop so it's a +2 on material vs a +3. I get it now.

The knight on kings side ready to kill the queen at any given moment:

20:46 for reference... I have a question about knight bc3 and the opponent responds by pushing p b5 to b4. If the knight advances forward c3 to d5, black can continue to drive your knight away with move pawn pushes. I always view this move as a very strong move for black. Can anyone please explain what to do for white if that happens? I can see an argument for getting the knight ultimately to f4 or d3 but it seems like black would gain tempo from all the pawn pushes if you advance the knight forward. also, if you route the knight back to e2, i feel like it blocks in your queen and white square bishop. What would be the simplest/best response? Thanks!

bro from game 4 is never gonna put a piece on a dark square again after that game

at 36:16, you could probably also mention ".. and remove the checkmate threat on h2"

1:54 After Qb3, the main line is Nd4 Bxf7+ Ke7 Qc4 b5 Qd3 Kxf7

Damn I was screaming at 35:25 when you disregarded Qf5+ because it would either allow a forced mate if Ke8 or allow a follow-up with Kc7 Qf7+ King moves or bishop blocks followed by Qxh5 - OR if Kc6 then Qf3+ allowing you an x-ray fork on both opponent rooks... It would've completely demolished them...

In game 7 a few tactics was missed, Bxg5 but also could have played after the queen was taken Rxd6 Bxd6 then Qxg7+ and taking the rook on h8 after

I started watching some these climbs but at higher levels then got some kind of bug and now iv restarted to watch the whole series lol

7:35 It seems, that the temperature at your opponents room is even hotter.

At 16:40 you had a Knight as well to finish off with checkmate!!

You missed a beatiful tactic here 35:24 you could have played Qd5,opponent goes Rb8, you go Qf7+, opponent moves his king somewhere and then you pick up the h5 rook

As a German Peter Patzer ist hilarious 🤣🤣

*PLEASE SOMEONE HELP* I have so many questions, for instance: at 30:21, isn't be6 then after ke8, kf7 just the better move? Because it take the right to castle and wins a rook but Nelson choose to do another line because he didn't want the trade? I don't get it. because the line he went for was inferior since it depended on the oppnonent Kd5 blunder. Also: at 32:25, dosen't bxg5 jsut winning a queen? Cuz if Qxg5, then pawn e6 wins a queen? Nelson didn't acknowledge that line. And finally: at 35:56 dosen't bd8+ check winning a rook for a bishop? Nelson didn't acknowldge that either and went for a line to take just a pawn and ended up depending on the oppnonent's blunders.

its very helpfull to see how a 2400 elo player deals with the pressure the 1000 elo players apply without thinking

36:34 when i tried to look for tactic i saw Bishop d8+ and you pick up a rook, im only 600 elo but i think its a right idea

40:40 While you're discussing the risk of back rank checkmate, Qc6 shuts that down immediately by forking king and rook.

He doesnt have to take the bishop, stop with this nonsense

33:31 My original thought was “Isn’t Bxg5 a free pawn? If the Queen takes, e6+ wins the Queen with a discovered attack he can’t defend.” But then I thought about it, and what if black doesn’t take the bishop? Qe8 is the best case scenario for white since that undevelops the queen, but Qe6 or Qxe5 (which wins back the pawn) would be offering a queen trade, which you don’t want to take because you’re attacking, but you also don’t want to let black’s queen be more active. All this to say that Rd1 is definitely the better move. That said, the bishop sacrifice might work at this level.
