  • In this video I explain a method to stop blundering your pieces in chess. I use it all the time, and I think everyone else should too, especially in the lower ratings. This is episode 2 of my speedrun to 2000 and in this episode I'm rated 500. Hope you enjoy the video :)

  • @oOPPHOo
    @oOPPHOo Рік тому +50

    On castling: The most important principle in my mind when it comes to castling is to not open up the center if your king is still in the center. Castling early often solves this, but it helps to understand the key principle behind it. Grants you greater flexibility. You may for example find a benefit in deciding where to castle _after_ you know where you opponent has castled.

    At 1800 I've finally determined that blunders and endgames are the only two things keeping me from the USCF Expert title

    Loved the way you were about to explain your thought process as you were playing a game. Too many videos show games that have been previously played and just zoom through the game so fast that it's hard to follow. And their explanations are also done very fast. Id really enjoy seeing more of your games this way.

    "The trick is to never put your pieces in squares where they are undefended". This is the trick guys. 🤣

      This trick makes it very difficult to win an endgame with not much material. 😁

    I remember watching this and finding the things explained highly valuable, because you know, you need an explanation for why your games aren’t going as you would want. This content helped me mentally with understanding as well as by offering a solution. Excellent content for everyone trying to improve. Thanks again for this content Anna 😊

    I am so glad that I watched your video. You are exciting, engaging, energetic and entertaining. And… very Educational!!! I am going to replay your game to create the PGN to study with your explanation as I go. You explained your strategy in the most logical straight forward way and playing the London, my choice as well, I was so pleased to see you win and that apparently was unscripted, demonstrating that the London is a strong system. I have watched dozens of videos and yours is the absolute Best!!
    Thanks and I will look at other videos on your channel.
