I am fucking 1400 and i defeated 2040 player in 10+2 it was a bit vague. He took quite long for his moves and I guess I kind of lucked out by being rushy yet having the good moves. In the end he actually was winning being exchange up and I thought it was pretty easy to play... But the last twenty seconds he.. Choked? Whatever I won.

Well done! But it is quiet different rapid rather than formal 90+30 for 40 moves plus 30 minutes after. No time scrambles or chokes.

Love your standard videos. Thanks for all the content!

around 25:30, beautiful tactic. really enjoyable game, thanks! I've watched all of your standard videos and I look forward to the next one

A great game and analysis Minnesota Fins. These insights into the mind of a IM are priceless.

Love the standard videos. I've never attended a chess class in my life. I literally learned everything I know from you. Great content.

Standard game on Lichess? •surprised Pikachu face•

One of my biggest criticisms is that you make it look too logical and easy!! :) Just kidding, you make me better at seeing the board objectively!

There's a hilarious video of IM Eric Rosen who mocks Feingold warning against moving the f-pawn, and then in that very same game that pawn move leads to Eric blundering his queen :D I think it's a recent "playing viewer-suggested openings" video.

Love the standard videos, John! Watching you go through the thought process is so useful for rookies like myself.

I've been waiting for a standard video like this in ages :D when you live in europe its difficult to catch the streams as they usually happen at 0200 am over here :D

Yes! please more of these rapid/longer play games! :) it's so instructive to see how analysis should be done.

Hi John! I wanted to say that I really love your videos, especially the Standard Chess series where you can really take your time and speak out your thoughts on every move. Sure it's fun to follow Titled tuesdays etc but as a 'beginner' I feel I learn more from these longer games. I started playing chess about 2 months ago and have now 1750 rating on Lichess and 1600 on Chess.com. Had an awesome attacking game just 10 minutes ago. Opposite side castling, attacking involving a peace sac, tactics and positional play. Checked the analyzis after the game and I was very excited to see that the computer said there were 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders, only 10 centipawn losses. About 80% computer's first choise moves. During the game I tried to follow your tips from chess fundamentals series. Thank you for your Amazing work as a chess teacher! Greetings from Finland

I always like a good demonstration of how to take advantage of someone weakening their kingside. Very nice!

Good play on both sides of the board. A Queenside attack and a Kingside defense becomes a Kingside attack with a strongly defended Queenside. Notice that John is not so fixated on one area of his strategy or one area of the board. I learned a lot here.

Love these. Thanks so much for all of the quality content.

Thanks for all the great content. Keep the videos coming!

Also, thanks for the tip on playing c5 against the London System; now I have something to throw at my Dad when he tries that Bf4 move! 🤗

Good game and good analysis. At my level, I see the Colle system a lot and tend to do the same as you with a QG reversed set-up, but it was good to see you explain why it's best to hold off on c4 attacking the bishop. Will bear that in mind, thanks!

"Get that baby outside the pawn chain" :) Also, it annoys me when my opponents take their time in lost positions. But John's reaction to this is pretty professional.

Awesome game, super informative. Thanks!

Such an interesting game and setup. Like a Cambridge Springs from white.

Thanks for the upload! Nice game.

I enjoy your Standard videos. I think in the analysis portion I would like to see 3 lines of the engine instead of just the top one. Keep up the good work!

New content from my favorite streamer! Play more often John! : -)

Great vid. thanks John

Thanks John,you're the best

Hey, on move 16, I really was looking at a knight sac on b4, so Nb4 for you. I think it definitely would have been super interesting, I know you mentioned earlier that you didn't want to take risks, but I think it would have been a possibility to consider.

John 22:30 is not late! A candle has two ends for a specific reason. Keep the vids coming, I learn a lot from them.

Alot of useful info on pawns this video

It's amazing how awful White's knight turns out to be on d2. For quite a long while it's completely immobilized, clogging White's position, preventing defense along the second rank. At one point, John leaves the g4 pawn untouched and says he wants it there to deny that knight the f3 square. Makes a lot of sense to ensure White's worst piece remains bad for as long as possible.

Nice queen play to the open kingside squares. Enjoyed this one with some bacon sandwiches.

Thanks john 🙂

Hey John, this is..... JJJOOHHHNNNN CCCEEENNNNAAA!

On 16:00 isnt taking with the king after Bxe7 worth considering since the center is so blocked?

I love when people stream on lichess, use always!!!!

I’ve been playing the wing gambit and the Halloween gambit religiously lately I’d love to see you play one of those if not no big deal I’m 1500 and I’d really like to see how somebody much higher rated handled the openings thanks!

As long as you don't play f3 or f6 it's ok to move the f pawn

nice

You have too be so frustrating too play against... I could win quicker but why allow anything? I'll just be solid and crush you... All with a smile. Makes for a great instructive watch. Thanks john

5:28 John getting fired soon

I think I have a crush on John ... sorry... haha

good game! How can I get on climbing the rating ladder? I'm rank ~ 1450 on chess.com

I think I would prefer 22 e4 instead; g4 just leaves the king too exposed, as we saw in the game. If white is to have any chance, it lies in breaking up black’s control of the center. Just my $0.02 worth. 😋

That was my experience with chess.com several years ago. It’s much better now.

Asking for everyone’s opinion. Do you prefer lichess over chess.com. I have only played the latter and have done so for years

What a shame that the white player made such fundamental errors. b5 was bad, g4 was awful. Your chatter was instructive as always, independent of the opponent, but I'm waiting for some more games where you get yourslef into a pit and have to dig your way out. ;-) Gotta see the JB meister pullin' it out under pressure!

One season of lone wolf probably got me 150 points stronger tbh

You can play on Lichess now??

I've always been able to play on lichess! I do have a partnership with Chess.com, but I occasionally post lichess vids, too.

I found it odd that the player didn't resign when down six points of material with inactive pieces and so little in the way of counterplay. Asking honestly, against an International Master, was there a point?

@henrytims4745

Did he have a chance to win? Realistically no. Did he take this loss as a learning opportunity? It would seem so. Either he is relishing playing an IM, or he wishes to practice thinking tactically in a bad position.

Play on forever in a hopeless position, basically wasting the other player's time. Then expect a rematch. I never understand it, but it happens so often.

You don't improve by resigning lost positions. His opponent very well might have just been calculating the best moves he could find. It's a lot more difficult to play accurately when you're losing. There are still things to learn from. As for the rematch, I don't see a problem there either. I always offer and accept the rematch regardless of the outcome of the first game.

@@Cellkist I'm not saying there is nothing to learn, but many people have a finite amount of time to play. The position could be reviewed on your own or played out against a CPU. You are occupying another person's time here. You can see that John has lost interest long ago in this game. Maybe they could have played an entire extra game that was interesting to both parties if he resigned after the piece blunder.

@@shoat117 we all have a finite amount of time to play. That's why you pick different time controls based on the amount of time you have to spend. If you pick 15+10, you're acknowledging the game could take a good bit of time. You started a game of chess, finish it. If it's taking too long, then play faster and more accurately. Each player is just as much at fault for a longer game as the other. And let's not forget that while it's unlikely, it is still possible for anyone to blunder when completely winning. Titled players are no exception.

To each their own. Sure, the other player could blunder, but I have no interest in swindle wins. I resign out of respect for my opponent when the position is dead. I don't want to waste their time. On the flip side, I only have time for chess when I'm on a treadmill. If my opponent is completely dead and won't resign, then I will resign. I'm in a hurry which makes me very aware that I'm also taking time away from someone else.

@@shoat117 I wouldn't really call it a swindle win just because your opponent makes a mistake. Your opponent isn't entitled to a win just because they have a better position. They have to prove it in every situation you can throw at them. It's entirely fair and sportsmanlike to do that.

Quite understandable to prefer 15 min on lichess----chess.com somehow seems to have an abundance of players who can effortlessly defeat the world champion. . .

i dont understand the bad moves ur opps sometimes make... for example giving away a pawn just to trade the dark squared Bs... makes no sense

Good to see you back John, but this game was very dull.
