      More seriously even in the 1500s if you just try to have pieces on reasonable squares and check that you aren't immediately hanging a tactic mediocre endgame play is enough to do pretty well. The first part is easier said than done because your opponents are probably all around 2500+ puzzles and have decent tactical sight but not losing to tactics is the number 1 thing to work on.

    At 42:56 do you think if you took with the knight attacking the queen, instead of the bishop it could have potential created the check fork with bishop to C3 after a2 pawn takes on c3 .Even though once you take with the knight the queen can move up, just a nice curve ball I thought.

    I’ve lost track of the number of games I’ve won with the Legall’s trap shown @ 2:00, even against higher-rated players, that I’ve come up with a checklist (for white):
    1) is your bishop on c4 (or b3)?
    2) is your knight on f3 pinned by black’s bishop on g4?
    3) is there no black knight (or black pawn on c6) guarding d5?
    4) does only the black king guard the pawn on f7?
    Finally:
    5) is your other knight on c3?
    If the answer to all these questions is, “yes”, immediately and without delay, move Nxe5!! If the answer to any question is, “no”, continue developing normally.

    I'm 300 because I keep running out of time. I played a few 90+ games. I thought I'd be really good. I'm 1000 in blitz but my rapid is 300. Everybody I play plays so good to me. Obviously I'm missing a bunch but still they seem rock solid to me. I'm like how the hell are these guys 300.
    I've only played like 14-20 games somewhere in there. I just need to play more but I get so into it I absolutely HATE losing. But it's part of the game. Any game really.

    At 38:00 I would have taken the knight with the rook. No more mate.

    Did he not see the fork in game 6? It was easy to see for probably a 400 or 500 elo yet he didn't see it

    At 11:55, why can’t you castle and unpin the knight? That is three birds with one stone.

      I’m not sure, but I think that if you castle right away, white’s bishop can take your knight which leaves the e5 pawn underdefended
