When I was 7 years old or so I would get angry if somebody would comment "you're a piece down", I would rephrase this as "my opponent has an extra piece", just to emphasis too myself I had an army willing to fight left. I feel this child-logic saved me ALOT of games.
Great approach to the issue!
@@ChessCoachAndras It still works for me. In the example in the video the person is actually winning. But that is even irrelevant; these kind of evaluations play tricks in your mind, where all you need to do is find the move that gives you the best chances
This channel is incredibly instructive and deserves 20x the views! Also I love the outfit.
Agree on the chess part, but the tank top??! You clearly haven't seen him in his crisp White shirt he wears for Chessable courses!
When we needed him the most, Andras came back, and he delivered.
Great video! About 5 minutes in when talking about the candidate moves in the position, my guy saw all 3 of the same candidate moves as well, and as you my hand wanted to go for Qf6, and noticed there are fun complications with the pawn on d5 hanging, if white goes for that. I didn’t pause my video to think about it - but would have been good to unpack that line as well in the video. I’m sure that a lot of sub 2000 players would probably scrub Qf6 off their list as soon as they notice that their move leaves d5 hanging!
I cannot recall exactly but there is a famous Botvinnik game where he sacrificed an exchange to create a weak color complex on the kingside, similar to this game. Definitely a theme to remember.
Congrats on the 30 k!!
Congrats on the 30k!
Great video again, Andras. The nugget that I took from it is to always look for moves and/or a plan for your opponent when evaluating a position. That’s advice I’ve never heard before elsewhere (and I consume a lot of chess content!). It’s this kind of thing that keeps me coming back to your channel. Congrats on the 30K subs. I’ve heard that this is the point where for others (like Chess Vibes for example) where their channels really started to take off, so hopefully the same will happen to you. I know there are some, including myself, who rate you up there with the UA-cam giants like Danya, Rosen, etc. but tbh it’s a bit of a mystery why you don’t get more engagement. Maybe it’s just frequency of posting? Anyway, good luck to you and keep up the great content. 👍
Another great video! What you said about masters having far fewer candidate moves than lower rated players was very interesting, particularly in connection to time management.
Well said!
I remember watching a GM game, I forget who it was, where White sacked both Rooks for both Bishops and went on to completely dominate Black in the middle / endgame. Marvellous play, and really hammered home the fact that piece values are not static things, but can change depending on the position. Rooks are better than Bishops, except when they aren't.
Yep, great lesson there:)
Was white the one sacrificing? Because your comment immediately made me think of the game Karjakin-Radjabov, Sochi, 2008 where Radjabov sacrifices two exchanges to absolutely crush Karjakin with black.
@@bustermadman8061 I just looked up that game and no I actually don't think that's the one I remember. It was a while ago and I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure I remember White saccing both Rooks for both Bishops, but White's Bishops end up overpowering Black's Rooks in the endgame.
Still, Karkakin-Radjabov 2008 was a nice game.
Congrats on the 30K ! Love the channel !
This lesson was amazing. Thank you so much!
The pleasure is mine, glad you liked it!
I like your videos so much that I make sure to leave a comment!
Legend!
Can you also make a video about blitz playing?
It drives me nuts that I don't understand how to work this system.
This channel is blowing up soon, mark my words
What was the plan for the candidate moves that were the alternative to the blunder? Seems like they all were general positional arguments.
Great lesson coach! I thought white was better because after Re1 he's going to push the e pawn and break open the position, but after ... Qf6 2. e4 Nxd4 3. Nxd4 Qxd4 white has nothing
Play the board and don't get played by sentiments. Constructive insight on how you can fight against a negative mindset
Thank you
I've turned round enough blunders in my time to keep fighting hard. However my positional understanding is nowhere near good enough to know when an exchange sac is a bonus (obvious tactics aside). Noting that in this position the 2 rooks are totally inactive is a golden nugget I hope to cling on to!
it is hard to audit the position, good lesson!
Great lesson Maestro
Hi Andras,
I would like you to coach me.
How do I proceed?
He was stuck in the materialistic mindset.
Can I be a student of you ?🙃
First
Please dress a little bit more professionally? This is not a gym class...
Congrats on 30k!
Super interesting, I’m often guilty of this defeatist mindset after blundering, although one of my best OTB games was after blundering an exchange then playing super aggro after. Thanks Andras!
Shankland says that when evaluating an exchange sacrifice the question you need to answer is how good are the two rooks?
Thanks, Coach. These right here. Evaluating positions is where I need to learn. More Evaluation videos please?
Fantastic lesson. An evaluation requires a move!
So true!
Insightful as always. Love when I get the YT notification that there’s a new Coach Andras video to watch!
Thanks senor, much appreciated!
Love 4 u! xo. Feel free to reach out.
Great! ❤
Always very instructive, Andras.
Very interesting point you make about the importance of changing the “I’m a piece down, I’m losing” mindset.
Great lesson Andras. There was a lot for me in this one - was pretty pleased with myself for coming up with the same three candidate moves as you did, although a bit worried that I didn't spot Bh3 in response to Re6 at all 😮 trying to evaluate positions and not just material is something I'm trying to work on - material imbalance is just not a comfortable experience (yet). For context I'm about 2000 rapid on lichess. Keep the great content coming!
16:27 so me 😅. Trying to change this defeatist mindset. Thank you for another great lesson!
Congrats on 30K Andras...very well deserved and I know you will get many more!
Congrats on the 30k!🎉
great video as always!
