Always scan the board for vulnerabilities, watch out for pins, look for forks and pins yourself, and try to push pawns to promote, pushing pawns always puts pressure on your opponent and forces them to focus on blocking the pawn.

I’ve came to a stalemate and an awkward stage at this point because I never developed my game after the opening. And it was super frustrating because I wanted to get better and better develop my game. I finally stopped being stubborn and ended up going to KZitem and man am I in awe.

What I learned from the Rook Lift was that you do not have to trade because you can even if it isn't threatend by anything, I always trade if I'm the white pieces, but I learned that you can create a bigger threat then just trading off your pieces and creating a end game quickly. Yes, I am not that great of the game, I am only 748 in elo but grinding for 800. Thanks for the lesson! ❤

Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.

I have watched umteen number of chess channels aimed at sub 1600 elo players and have rary come across a channel like yours that explains thigs in a simple straight forward way and offers the info we actually want and need to know. I think a lot of channels dont realise some info needs bt explained and made aware without making the assumption that the info is a given and that we already know such things. Keep it up you should have a great following in no time. Also you should get patreon or something. I am sure a lot of people appreciate what you are doing and would slip you a few bucks here n there for your efforts.

At 5:33 isn't putting your bishop all the way back and behind the queen like that bad? I get the idea of threatening checkmate but if they defend with g6 you just end up with an undeveloped bishop that's blocked in by your queen
@ChessVibesOfficial
3 жыл бұрын
Really good question. I wouldn't say it's bad, but there will be times where you don't want to do that. In this example if black plays g6, then he creates other weaknesses around his king that we can take advantage of (weaknesses on f6 and h6) which I think is a fair trade off for bringing the bishop back like that. You can also put the bishop on c2 and queen on d3 which is a bit more active for the bishop and doesn't block the rook like in the example. The main takeaway from the video should be that you keep that idea of the bishop/queen battery in the back of your mind and use it when you'll get the most benefit. Hope that helps!

The content you create is amazing. I'm surprised you don't have more viewers, but I'm sure it will come with time. I love the top lists format the most because the principles or plans are gathered in one place. I don't have to struggle finding them one by one on my own. If I forget about something, I can always come back and watch it again. Also, I think adding time stamps or a summary at the end would make the video more attractive for viewers. Just a thought. One more thing, do you have some advice on how to choose the best plan in a given situation? I knew most of them already, but I struggle with picking the right ones. Is there some way to identify the best thing to do when you don't know what to do? Or is it just a matter of experience? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! I will see about adding timestamps going forward on videos like this. As far as choosing the best plan, a lot of it is experience and your ability to calculate out certain lines. The main idea is that you want to choose the plan that's going to have the best chance of success and most benefit. So what I like to do is ask myself "Is there an easy way for my opponent to stop what I'm trying to do?" If there is, then maybe I move on to the next idea. If not, then I consider it further and eventually make a move in that direction. Unfortunately there's not really a shortcut on this one, it does take a lot of calculating to come up with the right plan.

What you showcased in 10 is also a common plan in the Bogo-Indian Defense, something I may try at some point. The idea behind one of the common lines is play a5, exchange your dark square bishop for the knight and put all your pawns on dark squares (usually you play d6, e5 and b6 in that too). It kinda leads to some sort of a positional center game. However, it is kinda out of my comfort zone for the time being. Nevertheless, I do think it's a good plan.

I have a bad habit of just playing what feels right without coming up with a plan first - or worse, making up a plan for the purpose of justifying the move I want to do. That's backwards; make the plan, then decide on the move. Something that's helped me with my chess is to play correspondence games (or whatever they're called when there's no turn time limit, or the time limit is days instead of minutes) and make a word document keeping track of the moves. After every move my opponent makes, I write down why I think they made that move, what I notice about the position, and why I'm choosing the move I'm choosing. It takes time, but it forces me to stop just playing arbitrary "this feels right" kinds of moves. Great video as always! (And thanks for reading my long-winded tangents.)

@@ChessVibesOfficial dosent chess come down to caus and effect? And since eatch piece has a limited range of moves, there is no need knowing every possible combination of moves that will never be played during a set, since other pieces ol the bord is taking up space, and futher a piece realy has 3 options of play :attack, hold or defend. One could argu that beeing taken is a fourth. Is it not then better to play the what if game and play fast games to cycle trough more scenarios? After all if you play the same opening options are reduced as game goes on.

Thanks for the Middlegame Moves pamphlet there is a typo. Ne7! This clears the way for the bishop to move to f6 and directly counter white’s bishop on b2, most likely resulting in a trade. In example 2. You meant Nd7. Had me confused for a while.

5:14 black responds with ...g6. And after that my brain will freeze. I will probably intuitively play Ne5, but honestly, what do you do after ...g6? 🙄
