My bf must be cheating ... he doesn't love me anymore 🗣🗣🗣 her boyfriend :
It'd be interesting to see you play out the game till the end imo. "Fully drawn" endgames by Stockfish are usually hard to spot for a human, and can very easily swing into "fully winning" for someone who didn't make 1 wrong pawn move
41:19 the bishop there would also defend the e5 square, meaning you can push the f pawn 2 squares if you want, I think. Then you lost the opportunity when their king got close
39:00 you did not miss the full line, you just missed you can use your bad-placed bishop to defend the d pawn instead of having a rook sit there :D
Semi-open file means there are pawns of one colour on the file. An open file means no pawns on the file.
Congrats for graduating!
Sorry there's no thumbnail today! The software I use to make it is down right now for some reason :/
what is the software you are using ?
you lack discipline!
i’m just going to say this in case it’s useful to you - it might not be if you want to use this series and whatever attention it will bring in to grow your channel (basically if channel growth is something you want), it would be a really great idea i think if you made a few full, normal videos as you climb so viewers basically see you as worth the subscription; if you upload daily and someone has viewed a few of these videos already, they’ll keep getting these recommended and therefore probably won’t feel a need to subscribe, but if you have standard videos as well a viewer would be more likely to treat you as a “youtuber” and want to subscribe so as not to miss those standard, non-daily videos just a thought
Good time management in a tricky game!
👏👏👏
I feel like every game you are trying to save time by doing some quick moves to save 2 seconds, but then spend a minute calculating some complicated alternate option tactic in hopes of getting a very slightly better position or something. I think you should practice recognizing when it's better to just go with the "good enough" option
As an 1800, I can say you're paying way too much attention to openings and single pawns. As you can see in this and many other examples, games are more often decided by tactical mistakes than pawn structures from the opening. That's why, in my opinion, it's more profitable to play more agressively, put pressure on your opponent, try to make them uncomfortable, in order to induce those mistakes, instead of just defending a pawn or wondering how to get it back. Also, it's important to have simple openings that you're comfortable with, so that you limit the time spent and mistakes on your side. Trying to learn the cutting-edge stuff that grandmasters play, with hundreds of variations, makes it unnecessarily difficult, and you quickly end up not knowing what to do next anyway. I personally play various gambits to quickly get in the aggressive positions. I think it's more fun, and some quick wins with basic traps are a bonus. But of course, for that to work, you also need to improve your calculation and board vision, as you noticed yourself.
there was also several tactical resources to defend against the knight c7 attacking rook move and he didnt consider any of them but its fun being higher rated and criticizing ppl ngl
no views in 42 seconds? bro fell off
bro play the accelerated dragon bro its easier to learn
Hey man, been watching for some weeks now. I really enjoy your content. I like the Smalltalk in between, your thought proces and general attitude. I read a lot of comments where people expres there opinion, never take them to seriously :p keep up the good work!
Agreed. You have charisma. Don’t change a thing, and please continue just being you. Love the content!
23:37 he instead had bishop taking knight forcing u to take back with pawn to which he wins the e5 pawn with tempo. he missed it
i saw this too, black can win back pawn after Bxe5 with Bg5+ intermezzo, but definetly tricky line. probably why white avoided it
If you are going to play the Sicilian you need to attack faster .
I play the okelly and am 1800+ it's all about tactics
Ok, now we talkin'... Great game! The "normal" u would've been down to 3min by move 16 considering the pace of ur opponent, but, as the wise Phambu once said: "i'm myself, so..." :) keep it up
7:50 I like how you spent a minute and half to slide a queen one space and follow it up with "I feel like I've been playing blazingly fast" :D
4:45 how is he going to get the trade in when the pawn blocks his queen?
Nice game!
20:30 capturing the c pawn with the bishop was the lesser of two evils but you got arrogant in the beginning and collapsed mentally
17:00 why the h wouldnt you play knight d2!?
That thumbnail is genius But it contains one of the most useless places in the world😢
15:00 It feels like you came up with a 5-move convoluted plan just to trade a knight for a bishop? Why not castle, put the knight on d2 and threaten to take a pawn instead?
Congrats on reaching day 100
Thank you!!
That is a frustrating way to lose. At 16:10 when you were thinking about your complicated Ng5 manoeuvre, did you consider Nd2? Doesn't that just win a pawn straight away and avoid all of those complications?
maybe 1800 in 30 minute time control cuz u slow brotha
He's commenting live and maintaining a decent level of play, which I certainly couldn't do
If u don't learn to manage ur time, 1800 is a mirage. It takes a lot of games to build intuition and be able to properly evaluate every position in seconds, and that's key. U need ur time for the critical ones. One game a day just won't cut it. Also, it's just a game, maybe try less emotional involvement ;)
I totally get your point, and you're right. However, I don't think I have time to play more than one rapid, but I do play quite a few blitz games offline, though of course that is totally different
@@phambuchessI’m not sure blitz is going to help you improve. It might even be the reason you are making errors at longer time controls. Worth thinking about anyway. I can only imagine how difficult it is to play well whilst commenting on the game, so I’m definitely not talking from a sense of superiority. Blitz is a fun way to try out new lines you’ve been studying or at least some sharper openings, and they can be a good way to sharpen evaluation skills, but too much gets you in the habit of making snap decisions when the position calls for more considered thought. That’s my tuppence anyhow. Good luck.
I've been following since I caught your game on the Chess Vibes channel. I think you must have some talent for content, as small, raw channels like these typically don't hold my attention. To your question though, I think you (and your general popularity?) would benefit from just a smidge of editing. I really enjoy the out-loud contemplation and hearing the thought process... in fact, it's probably 95% of what's kept my attention, but that said once you finish the thought process and there's just waiting time without much more to say, I start getting impatient and skipping through or playing double speed. So my two cents is: definitely leave all the commentary, but skip the dead air and filler time. Good luck and thanks!
Great feedback-thank you so much!
You can create a new account, lie your an expert, and you can start from 1500 elo lol.
Can you play chess with the blindfold settings on the pieces
It must be really hard to commentate and think at the same time. However you spent 2 or 3 minutes telling us you were winning while your opponent was busy calculating. When he finally moved you took 5 seconds to tell us it was bad. You never actually calculated anything meaningful till the position was lost. You're making great progress, but sometimes your attitude is a little complacent/arrogant. Humility will get you where you want to go.
Sorry if this comes across as harsh, it's not meant to be. I was very bright at school too, and way too arrogant for my own good!
Without looking at the analysis I was thinking pawn to b4 was what you missed. You spent a lot of time babbling instead of analyzing pawn moves on left side of board.
I meant pawn to c4.. is supported by your b pawn and king
I say leave opponent contemplation time in the video. It gives you the time to discuss the position, and gives us time to think about the position as well. I watch your videos for entertainment, and to help improve my calculation skills.
First time watching. I thought your opening knowledge was very good here. Games at this level are rarely decided by the opening however, unless there is an opening trap played. Your opponent’s standard was suspiciously good though, especially their endgame play. b5, for example, I don’t know if it was the best move, but it was suspiciously strong, killing any c4 ideas. You had a lovely bind on his K-side pawns and it is absolutely the right idea to bring f and g pawns up to challenge when you did. f6 should have been expected though as it was a move I would have considered as black. Good luck in your new channel, I enjoyed this.
Todays exam came from space 😂
Phambu: I'm dead lost here. Actually, I'm fully winning! Oh I might be just completely losing. Stockfish: Even game
Lmao yeah my analysis swings back and forth so much
It's "keer-giz-stan". It's in Central Asia. 🇰🇬
Got it! Thanks!
Dude you are lucky you finished your exams Ima about to go through month long exams starting from tomorrow 😂
I know, I feel so relieved it's amazing! Good luck on your exams, you can do it!
This was so good and solid, I'm going to watch analysis, but it looks like two moves away from crushing Nelson. 😅
woahh you reached 1660 only in 97 days
Technically, I was already 1200 in the beginning of the challenge, so I didn't really get to 1660 in 97 days, but I did gain over 400 ELO. That being said, let's see if I can stay at this rating and keep climbing!
I feel like your dog caused that rook blunder. You were petting him while making the move and low on time too haha
Possibly but totally worth it lol
I used to be 1400 elo and then I dropped to 1100 elo after i came back after a break😂
Darn, sometimes that happens I suppose. You’ll get back to 1400 in no time!
If you want to get better, play chess once a day max, maybe once every three days. 15|10 fastest, 30 min preferred
UA-cam Premium Chads rise up.
Heck yeah! 😎
I'm bouncing between blunderman and phambu. Blunder is more consistent, phambu is more enjoyable to barrack for and blunder seems way more vaccinated. Although not sure if Ivy league universities are still pretending and forcing mandates.
Glad you enjoy the videos! I'll certainly try to be more consistent, it was just hard to do it during finals, and I have a senior trip this week. But, mark my words-once I'm back this Saturday, the world will end before I miss a day!
@@phambuchessdo a colab with blunder, he plays 15 min and you'd smash him
