In example 2, I would want to prepare some sort of greek gift attack. So that means removing and/or pinning the knights. Dark bishop G5 is the move I would pick in blitz and then just go for the attack. So I picked my target and then applied the principle of removing the defender, and the enemy horse on F6 is a classic defender against this type of attack.

Very interesting vidéo. I found the 3 moves (but the 2nd one only after your suggested rook d3 in the list of candidate moves, i didn't find it either). The 3rd one can be found just following the principle to 'fix' opponent pawns on white squares so they have the weak bishop and you have the strong one.
Excellent! After applying ideas like this -specifically from your course The Grandmaster's Secrets - I have achieved above 90% accuracy in so many games that I'm afraid of being accused of cheating! lol : ) I don't get that high all the time, but what a gigantic difference this has made for me!
For the second example, why not consider Ne4? Firstly that c3 knight in an inactive place (since the rook already defends the pawn that this knight is defending) The point of the move would be with the purpose to eliminate the knight on f6 because it defends the castle pawn h7 which we want to attack, as well as a potential queen landing square h5. Even if it's not the best, I'm surprised you didn't even mention it. Am I missing something bad about this move?
It doesn't win it doesn't have prophylaxis and it doen't fit the plan of an opening (develop, safeguard your king, connect rooks), so there is little justification for weakening the d5 square.
I created my own thought process. I usually observe the entire board and where can each piece go and what is undefended. I also look at what is weak and undefended for each side. then, I look for threats from my opponent.
Am I missing something or can you shrink this into two steps? 1. Devise candidate moves that fit your plan, 2. Calculate... Otherwise, where do candidate moves come from in the first place? Also if you exclude candidate moves that do not fit your plan then how do you reconcile that with tactics? This thinking process makes no sense to me. In fact it is a horror for a philosophy student like me
I think the response to your question is that this kind of video is designed for intermediate level players, who instinctively can recognize what moves make any kind of sense. Then you narrow it down by checking if the moves are safe. Then you pick the most aggressive move that fits your overall plan. It makes sense to me for a classical game, but nobody seems to want to play those any more. It would be difficult ( for me, at least) to apply this to a rapid game though. In faster games I think the process is reversed: Find an aggressive move that fits your plan, check that it’s safe, and play it.
@@BlunderBunnyI am not satisfied with your answer. I am 2000 FIDE who has been stuck at 2000 FIDE for 3 years! and I can always chalk up an instinctive list of candidate moves...but I do not care about that because he said to choose the candidate moves that fit the plan of the position. So the process to me sounds something more like 1. determine what type of position it is, 2. select candidates that fit your plan, 3. calculate. but seemingly this can not be reconciled with tactics. I don't do well in tactics puzzles when I think with this type of thought process. Such videos as this is contributing to my learned helplessness and its driving me crazy
I won 15 out of my last 20 games! That is, before I watched this video. Lost two in a row immediately, once blundering my queen on 5th move. I obviously blame this video. Kind regards:)

I'm curious why was the castling in the 6th minute an inaccuracy?
Also how can we tell if our move is okay or an inaccuracy
It's a blue one which means that it's a tricky move.😅

A very nice approach to thinking process. More like this please.
Sure!
What a great video! I watched it multiple times because it was just that good. Thanks for being the real "internet's chess teacher" 🥰

Thanks a lot, sir. I have learnt many thing.

Amazing help
Do you have a video where you show how to counter White's opening g3?
This is The Best Teaching Chess Video.🆒😎
“So you want to think, which of these moves follows my plan”
So, you’re saying I need a plan..
amazing video
1:00 i thought of e6 pawn push😅😅

1.Candidate moves
2.filter
3.calculate
4.pick

Even if it's not the best, I'm surprised you didn't even mention it. Am I missing something bad about this move?
got all 3 correct virtually instantly, but then i have been playin for over 30 yrears
im at 0:58, is e5 not a good move to consider in this position?
It doesn't win it doesn't have prophylaxis and it doen't fit the plan of an opening (develop, safeguard your king, connect rooks), so there is little justification for weakening the d5 square.
I created my own thought process. I usually observe the entire board and where can each piece go and what is undefended. I also look at what is weak and undefended for each side. then, I look for threats from my opponent.
and then, i play my move
It looks good. Maybe more time consuming if you watch each piece all directions. So if you can still filter it, it becomes even better.
@@peterbago4574 it takes like 10 seconds just for the first step in my thinking process

8:05 why not knight e4?!
Does nothing just trade that gives black bishop some movement toward white kingside

Don’t memorize openings. Play only one move ahead. Your opponent can only move one move at a time. Memorizing openings will only hurt your brain!
