    1. don't trade your active piece for a passive piece of your oponnent. 2. don't trade when you're down material 3. trade when you are up material 4. don't trade when you have an attacking tension on the board except when it helps your position or your attack. the reason for this is that you want to keep your oponnent as long as possible in a defensive/passive state.

    As a former 900 who got to 1,000 yesterday for the first time (I was at 350 a month and a half ago so I'm very proud) you probably shouldn't do this. In a scenario like that pawns are the most important piece and the one pawn difference will decide the game. Plus, your fundamentals will improve more if you stick to trying to learn real tactics. I got to 930 initially only doing the fried liver. I decided to learn a better opening since I was stuck, so I picked up the london and went down 110 points in just a day- but then got a better understanding of the game and better fundamentals, which allowed me to get back to around 900 and stay there for a week before hitting the big number yesterday. Though it causes an immediate decrease in your level, in the long term its way more rewarding (and fun), so I recommend you give it a try. I'm obviously not much better than you (if at all) but just giving advice on what got me over the elo hill. Good luck, and see you at 1k (:

  • @adcyuumi

    I've said this in a few other videos: ... Learn endgames if you want to know what to do in the middle game. Learn how to win with Rook + Pawn vs a Bishop. Learn how to win with Bishop + Knight + Pawn vs a Rook. You can basically memorize opening moves and how to win different endgames -- that part of chess is "easy" compared to what happens between openings and endgames. The chess played in the middle game is an effort to get a winning endgame, or at least avoid getting a losing endgame. If you don't know how to win endgames, you won't recognize a good middle game move that's right in front of you. ... I would actually advice anyone who is learning chess to START by learning endgames. It teaches you how the pieces move and interact, it teaches you how to win a game once you are ahead in pieces, and it builds confidence. Then, and only then, look at some chess openings. Try ones that look cool to you out, 3-4 games each. Pick the ones that are least confusing, learn them, and try to memorize what you do when so that you aren't burning brain cells every time you play. The middle game will not come naturally -- you'll need to learn tactics. Tactics are things like pins, forks, binds, revealed attacks, double attacks, etc etc. Getting good at chess is largely a matter of seeing tactics, setting up tactics, and knowing which tactics are good to use in a given position. Sometimes pinning that knight with your bishop is a bad move. Sometimes it's the winning move. ... Finally, LASTLY, you are ready to learn positional chess. You see that you can trap the opposing Queen on one side of the board for a number of moves, allowing you to rotate your own Queen to the opposite side and operate there unopposed for at least two moves. Will it win some material? Is there a downside to it? If the opponent doesn't even try to maneuver their Queen to do damage control, what might they do instead to undermine your plan? Are ALL of the possible board positions favorable to you, meaning that the plan is good? None of these are things you should be thinking if you are new to chess -- you should be learning endgames, openings, tactics, and judgement of when tactics are good/bad to use. Only once you have these basics down will you have the tools to think positionally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 8:11 in the video, Levy bemoans BxN (Bxc3). But actually, that move is repectable chess. Were there other good moves, better moves? Yes. But that particular trade was good. The weakness created in White's position is exploitable... and more importantly permanent. White has no way to repair the damage or make the damage meaningless. That's exactly the sort of situation where you might opt to drop your bishop for a mere knight. I do 100% agree with Levy that you should not just hip-shot this move off carelessly. There are sometimes better moves available. But I'd point out that Levy can sometimes get himself into time trouble looking for perfect moves (sorry to throw you under the bus here Levy;

    The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-American physics professor. The difference in the ratings between two players serves as a predictor of the outcome of a match. Two players with equal ratings who play against each other are expected to score an equal number of wins. A player whose rating is 100 points greater than their opponent's is expected to score 64%; if the difference is 200 points, then the expected score for the stronger player is 76%.

    Hey @GothamChess, hope you see this. First, thanks for all the fantastic teaching content. It's the teaching part that sets you apart from other YT chess streamers. Secondly, a video idea: something I constantly struggle with is continuity. If you could make a video on understanding and holding onto your knowledge of what's attacked, what's defended, etc. I so often make a move, forgetting that that piece was an integral guard for a certain square, or whatever. Anyhow, thanks for all you do. Much appreciated.

    I used to watch your videos while playing online and I’d lose rating points and didn’t memorize what you’re saying because I’m not giving my full attention to either. I made a rule for myself to give lessons my full attention and practice the traps until I know them by heart before trying them over the board and my elo rose 150 in a week so I’m now only 12 points away from my goal for this month of 1,000. Goes to show you can’t take shortcuts if you want to get better I guess. Thanks for the help!

Any chance for a video explaining when a knight or bishop might be considered 2 or 4 points not 3 or even when a rook or queen are more or less valuable? I mean knights on the rim or bishops in pairs or in an endgame with play on opposite sides of the board are great examples , but I'm sure there are a good deal of other ones you know and we dont or better perspective on the classic examples

What is this hand wavy chess theory and how is it different from the content you create? When should I start learning Theory, and why and how is it important to getting better? Is it memorization of 10s or 100s of different variations? Is it more like your most recent videos about analyzing positions? Again, huge fan. thanks for everything you create!
