The Puzzle: Bb4 is a great move so that we put pressure on his knight when he takes the Pawn.😎 I have another idea if I was playing this position, I would play Bc5 and after he takes I would go to g4 with my Knight.🤓 Is it great?🙂
sir if you don't mine can you please give me the major factor that why iam not able to control my timing in chess. Because in every sing game iam loosing in time. plz tell me sir ?
Top 3 reasons why I blunder: 1) Time pressure (I look at the clock, see I'm in trouble and immediately hang my queen, I guess that's one way not to lose on time) 2) Being lost in my thoughts (ex. thinking about strategy or planning my attack several moves ahead and missing my opponent's mate in one) 3) Becoming impatient or careless due to tilt or being tired after several games
13:29 This is genuinely a brilliant piece of advice for all new players, especially those who play a lot online and are, instead of trying to learn the game properly, want to rise quickly like it is some computer game. I'm afraid Chess doesn't work like that. This is human v human, mind against mind. You will burn yourself out and become desperate if you want redemption, and may even lose the love of the game. Accept the loss, and fight again tomorrow. There are many battles ahead of you. Brilliant advice Igor I love you for this. Love the channel especially your middle game advice videos.
I wanted to say thank you Igor. I was 1006 elo on June 17 and a bit depressed about how I was playing and got your course: how to level up your chess. I'm now 1162 (peak 1175). I still need tons of work but I have a bit of direction and hope now. thank you!
I was 200 elo a year ago and now I’m 1500. Payers (including me) are bad at defending decent mating attacks, mess up to counting attackers vs defenders, have poor board vision (seeing contact and X-ray contact between pieces), don’t track possible knight moves and underestimate allowing their opponent to get their pieces active with pawn sacrifices. Improve in these areas and know that all of them offer practical winning chances, especially playing for decent mating attacks (don’t sacrifice material without a reason tho)
Great video as always!! I´m over 2200 and oh man, I can`t remember how often I played in the casino! So for me, I made the rule to stop after three losses in a row.
1. Instant moves lead to instant losses 2. Can my opponent move forward to my half of the board and attack me somehow? 3. Do not accept gambit pawns if not familiar with the opening theory 4. What is the idea of my opponent? 5. When under attack look for counterattacks. 6. Basic positional chess secures from blunders. E.g. Nf3 vs Ne2. Piece activity. 7. When tilting stop playing. 8. Is the square I move to safe? Count attackers vs defenders. 9. After opponent moves. What has changed? Open diagonals/files, defended squares, pieces attacked. Thanks Igor. Some I have long incorporated into my game, even before your channel. 2 and 9 I need to do more of, along with 6. I have already internalized a number of your rules such as "To take is a mistake".
I’ve learned the tactic of complicating things where I have like 4 hanging pieces and often opponents don’t see the correct move and I can end up winning. Chaos is magic if you know what your plan is in the long run
Great, great lesson. I think the second example was excellent: don't give up, don't panic, there is a move to turn the situation, it is there, find it. I love how you demonstrate the beauty of chess and logical thinking.
One of the best coaching videos for beginners & intermediate players I've ever seen. Thank you so much! I think I will be coming back to this one many times.
Sensei 先生 ... you are without question, the most inspirational and gifted instructor I have known in my lifetime, in any sport or endeavour. You have had such a powerful influence on my chess, and my life for that matter, that I cannot thank you enough. _THANK YOU_
Igor, the Casino Effect you mention is the Sunk Cost Fallacy. It's the mindset where someone has invested so many resources (time, money, creativity, effort - what have you) into an endeavour and because of this investment they are unable to pull out or change their strategy even when simply calling it quits is the path of greater benefit or least resistance. Gamblers get caught into this fallacious trap often because if they're already in hole 500 bucks at the card table, they feel their only way out of the hole is to keep gambling, which more often than not makes the hole bigger rather than cutting their losses with the smaller hole.
Great advice; I prefer this type of video about general tips that are widely applicable over the videos where you show some highly specific gambits and traps that require exact moves many lines deep and those lines don't seem to materialize whenever I try them. (although I'm playing vs bots, which is maybe why they don't fall into the traps)
Thanks, Igor! I am a fan of Stafford gambit and I managed to win a line in just 10 moves, simply using your tip "what has changed". Actually, my opponent pushed the h pawn, trying to chase away my queen, but he forgot his g pawn remained undefended,
Thanks Igor I m glad I can be coached by you only if you don't mind me pretending to be one of your students I hope I'm not being a nuisance to you cause I can afford a chess coach but learning off you has been a huge help in me of understanding the chess game I love to play. It is a challenge just learning the tactics...and thanks for the positioning play and Understanding that positioning my pieces properly is important to me to understand chess positioning and tactics and strategies are all a package that needs to be used in the same games... Thanks Igor
I would say making 'instant moves' for those I under 1600 is the biggest cause of blunders. In the past when my opponent made a threat I would ask myself "what's the threat? And reply with a defensive move,today I would ask myself "what's he trying to do? I learnt this during a game I was winning easily,my opponent had instantly replied to a threat,I would with a few seconds reflection seen his second threat. Then I would have looked for a counter threat and found the winning move, fortunately as I was so far ahead materially and conditionally my opponent after a few moves resigned. So before making an obvious instant move I ask myself " will my opponent have an attacking move? If yes can I make a more forcing move or should I look for a better move,then and only then do I make a move.
When stunning teachers explain it, you 're all "How did I miss that?". Thank you dear Igor. I'm learning much more from you than from all my favorite GM's.
Thanks, Igor. For me, this has been one of your best videos. It very clearly illustrates how to look at the board in a way that is easy to remember and apply because it's so easy to visualize. Disregarding the pieces that can't move in any meaningful way helps prevent information overload and allows you to focus. You also cover one of the best lessons I learned as a beginner: "What is my opponent's plan?" For instance, when your opponent moves a pawn forward, are they intending to attack with it, or are they moving it out of the way of the bishop? Thanks again!
This is exactly what happens to me when I end to losing many games dropping dozens of ratings. I finish doing something and I decide to win one chess game on the Internet before doing something else. Like one game before eating. But then I lose the game. Even though my plan was for one game, I now have to play 2 more so I can get my points back and get my additional win. Next thing I know I'm down 10 games. Because I blunder my queen every game
Not true. You just block the check with Bd2 gaining tempo on the queen which has to retreat or get captured next move. The bishop at d2 is doubly protected by the Knight at f3 and the queen at d1, so it can not be captured by the Queen unless white just wants to sacrifice their queen, in which case black would gladly capture back with their queen.
8:43 would knight takes e5 pawn be a good attack instead of moving the bishop? This is what's difficult learning from videos, there are so many unanswered questions.
I just started trading options and came across your channel. Your 2 minute strategy is awesome and very accurate. I have to use it on a 1 minute timeframe chart though because my broker doesn’t allow 2 minute. I’m still practicing but do you know if this works well when looking at 1 minute charts?
I just recently started doing chess puzzles, and it made me realise that my biggest issue when playing chess is patience. Because often times I just won't study the board hard enough and so I'll miss things.. Like I _can_ think 4,5 or 6 moves ahead, but often I don't bother! And when I'm doing puzzles I will again miss things when I don't study the position enough because I'll think "that looks right" and I'll just make the move, but I won't actually calculate out the whole sequence thoroughly, and then I'll get annoyed with myself and say _"for the next puzzle I'm NOT moving until I clearly see the point of the puzzle!"_ and after that I'll start doing much better. It's a constant battle between laziness and determination.
imbalances mean equal (sorta) but pieces are different for example bishop and knight vs rook and pswn and evaluation means what the computer thinks about the position by using points (in a game with equal pieces but black is more active and is better in general would rate it as like -1.5 meaning stockfish treats it as black is up a pawn)
Now I am aware of 1# losing reason and the Casino Affect known as Tilt.😃 Chess Vibes is a UA-camr who explained Tilt specifically.😏 You can also talk about it.🙂 You may have some extra knowledge than him.😉
In rule 7, after Bxg2 exf6 Qxf6 isn't there Bd4 Bxd4 Nf3 keeping the exchange? Or is there a small error in my calculation? And yes, I know its still winning because we're up 2 pawns. Also, thanks for the great video!
I assume you mean Be4 and not d4? You would be correct. Also, we're not just up 2 pawns but white's king is in the centre and their kingside has been completely shattered.
Can you tell me how the position at 5:59 was reached. Looks like a Dutch where Black played ...Bb4 but I can't find this position or no move order to reach it thanks
Bb4 would NOT be a good move in the puzzle of the day, as white then has Qa5+, which also attacks the bishop. Were it not for the pawn on d5, black would be able to respond with Nc6, which resolves the check and defends the bishop, but in this position, white would be able to just take the knight. He would still have the attack on the bishop, plus he has cxb7 with a discovered check.
I think that is a great move! Several lines from there, including the ICBM attack on White's queen, or if white move pawn to b4, then Bbd5 pins Kc4 to protect the rook on a1, and black has a strong outpost in the center.
Nice. Indeed one doesn't expect a strong player to blunder or overlook something, but well ... f.i. when there's time pressure, also Hikaru and Magnus blunder from time to time.
On the last example shown there are two threats, one each from the two white knights. The one on F3 is threatening the fried liver. Why not pin that knight with the light bishop, and take the trade if white to H3? If white doesn't push H3 the pinned knight stops the fried liver, and the bishop can take the other knight if it is pushed. If white forces the trade then black plays knight to F3. This is just another path that doesn't come out ahead on material, but it seems to me that it greatly reduces white's overloaded attack on black's king side. Is there a refutation of this I don't see?
Its therapy and chess lessons in one. I just had a really REALLY bad blunder day.. lost 100 pts of ELO, played out of my headspace and was doing EXACTLY what he's talking about. My frustration is my demise.
Puzzle of the day: Bb4 is not a good move. Okay, it threatens to exchange the Bishop for a Knight, but is starting to be opened, therefore Bishops are stronger than Knights. Secondly, I the Knighton c3 is only to be pinned, it‘s not a good idea, because a3 wins a tempo for White, and if the Bb5 to point at the vulnerable f3, than b4 wins another tempo for White

sir if you don't mine can you please give me the major factor that why iam not able to control my timing in chess. Because in every sing game iam loosing in time. plz tell me sir ?
Very good advice on blundering. I'll try to incorporate blundering into my games.
Top 3 reasons why I blunder:
1) Time pressure (I look at the clock, see I'm in trouble and immediately hang my queen, I guess that's one way not to lose on time)
2) Being lost in my thoughts (ex. thinking about strategy or planning my attack several moves ahead and missing my opponent's mate in one)
3) Becoming impatient or careless due to tilt or being tired after several games
1 and 3 luckily are easily preventable (I have all these issues occasionally as well).
I play, therefore I lose.
I think the best way is to practice such as blitz, it helps to think faster and less time consuming. Just an advise
@@yetto1277 I feel the opposite, I suck at blitz
@@suryanshusingh8863 Then play with 20 minutes on the clock, I didn't find blitz helpful also

viewing the board in regards to two half's of the board, no knee jerk re actions, can the piece be taken. These are what I will try to implement.

8:43 would knight takes e5 pawn be a good attack instead of moving the bishop? This is what's difficult learning from videos, there are so many unanswered questions.
"Casino effect" is a good term for that phenomenon. It is also called a "tilt" in poker circles.

imbalances mean equal (sorta) but pieces are different for example bishop and knight vs rook and pswn and evaluation means what the computer thinks about the position by using points (in a game with equal pieces but black is more active and is better in general would rate it as like -1.5 meaning stockfish treats it as black is up a pawn)

How do you find the lichess database
Can you tell me how the position at 5:59 was reached. Looks like a Dutch where Black played ...Bb4 but I can't find this position or no move order to reach it thanks
Bb4 would NOT be a good move in the puzzle of the day, as white then has Qa5+, which also attacks the bishop.

I feel like watching speedruns of Hikaru, Danya and other GMs are improving my knowledge a lot.
I would play knight F3, after that you can play bishop E3. Try to never open the pawns in front of your king
Is the solution Bc5 preparing for Ng4?
I think that is a great move! Several lines from there, including the ICBM attack on White's queen, or if white move pawn to b4, then Bbd5 pins Kc4 to protect the rook on a1, and black has a strong outpost in the center.
5:14 "to take is a mistake" 🙂
Someone missed mate in 2 against Reshevsky, he said afterwards 'You don't look for mate in 2 against Reshevsky!'.
Nice. Indeed one doesn't expect a strong player to blunder or overlook something, but well ... f.i. when there's time pressure, also Hikaru and Magnus blunder from time to time.
Epic content,
13:40 bb5 blunders the bishop. I would probably play it in a match though lol.
Most useful idea/principle: move forward and attack.
thanks love peace
Is bishop to B4 the best move?
I’m not buying it how did that position arrive?
Nice video
Iam now 1100 elo thanks coach.
On the last example shown there are two threats, one each from the two white knights. The one on F3 is threatening the fried liver. Why not pin that knight with the light bishop, and take the trade if white to H3? If white doesn't push H3 the pinned knight stops the fried liver, and the bishop can take the other knight if it is pushed. If white forces the trade then black plays knight to F3. This is just another path that doesn't come out ahead on material, but it seems to me that it greatly reduces white's overloaded attack on black's king side. Is there a refutation of this I don't see?
In the last example, you can also get the horse and get chess position. After that you can move away your horse
So true, I have blundered badly and came back to win a few games after my opponent did the same lol
"Think about which move you'd play"... And then you don't say what the right move would be and why? Why not?

Puzzle of the day: Bb4 is not a good move. Okay, it threatens to exchange the Bishop for a Knight, but is starting to be opened, therefore Bishops are stronger than Knights. Secondly, I the Knighton c3 is only to be pinned, it‘s not a good idea, because a3 wins a tempo for White, and if the Bb5 to point at the vulnerable f3, than b4 wins another tempo for White
Qa4+ and bishop on b4 is lost since Nc6 is not working to defend the bishop. White control c6 with a pawnthat entered blacks territory.

Me in my next tournament: Gets out of my seat and plays moves, standing behind my opponent
