Punishing Beginner Mistakes | Ponziani Opening

Ойындар

Watch live on Twitch: / imrosen -- Follow to get notified when I go live!
In this video I play a rapid chess game against fellow Twitch Streamer vengaard_live ( / vengaard ) who is a relatively new to chess- only been playing for ~3 months! In the game, I unleash the Ponziani Opening and proceed to show no mercy. I hope this game provides some instructional value when it comes to exploiting common beginner mistakes and using basic tactics to seize the advantage. Towards the end of the game (once I achieved a decisive material advantage) I put more of my focus towards answering various questions from the Twitch Chat. After the game, I provide some basic tips and advice and show how black could have improve the opening play against the Ponziani.

Cos the Russians had 10 million soldiers, he just sent in relentless waves of men until they overwhelmed the Germans, which is why Germans killed like 2 Russians for every German. It was near the end, when Stalin let his commanders take charged (something Hitler was too dumb to do), when they cleaned up the rest of the German army. Stalin's roll in winning the war was much lesser than Britain and USA in my opinion. With his army size, it'd be crazy if USSR failed their final missions.

    "He said he's only been playing for three months. Still, I'm gonna show no mercy, but I'll try to be instructive." That's the difference between a good teacher and a great one. Eric knows that going easy on someone is not how you help them get better, but he's also not going to be a jerk about crushing them. You give 'em all you've got, and then you teach them what they did wrong afterwards. Just one of the many reasons that I personally think that Rosen is one of the absolute best chess coaches teaching and playing today. Thanks for all your hard work and the great content! 👏👏👏

It turns out I liked chess and started playing in school and some local tournaments. Too bad I stopped playing in competitions because it's something I don't suck at like other things. I never really stopped playing for fun though. Now I'm back on Lichess thanks to you and the chess bom that recently got me again.

    I play for over 25 years, not actively (for the crazy attacking people over there), and I'm muuuch below you in trash levels. Highest 1700. Got nearly the same iq tho. Chess requires time, dedication, patience, and other qualities beyond the regular level. Also, casual reminder that most people are hardstuck at 1300 (somewhat near where I am now). Its fine being a newbie even after playing for so long :)

    I love how much it reminds me of fire emblem, I just started learning and I'm realizing this game is so much more complex than I thought. The app I use gives me instructions on how each piece moves and how to play, but the more I learn, the more I see that I have much more to learn. I cant wait til I can play half as good as you. I just ditched yugioh and want a new hobby, and chess has always enticed me but never tried to learn.

There was a glitch at end of game and the silenced player was able to text “GG” All Hell broke loose in the forum! “I was personally attacked again after I had comments silenced for a certain player! Player was able to send message when they won!!!” Only a week later did everyone find out that sinister Attack Message was just... GG. It became the new forum attack for any debate. “GG!” Good times.

    I'm currently reading Nimzowitsch book, My system, and while I'm only at the very beginning of the book it already helped me tremendously, and I can testify of that because my level already improved but also because I can comprehend a little better games played by some experimented in chess such as this one, keeping a strong center control and pressured, moving a piece to the right square to win a tempo or some tempi, prophylaxis, liquidation, freeing moves... I'm pretty sure by the end of the book I will be way better. And I strongly advise for people who want to be better at chess to study extensively chess principles, and to not restrict yourself to learning opening lines, tactics and endgame theory. This is necessary, but the most obscure middlegame and studying the whole breadth and depth of chess principles, especially if you think you know them, is the key to a better understanding of chess, not only a better understanding of the game as such but rather an improved vision of the art of chess. Nice video Eric, thanks.
