    I swear to god this series alone made me go from 500 to 800 rapid rating.
    It's probably the best chess series out there. Seeing and LISTENING how you reason your moves, how you calculate, your thinking process, and also HOW YOU TAKE AND USE YOUR TIME, made me realize how easier it was to climb the ranks than I thought.
    I thought I'd never beat some one rated 600 consistently and after watching the series I just climbed with ease. Thank you so much Eric please keep updating this series

    @youdanpatgal Місяць тому +13

    I've been watching for a while. I love how the clock is a non-issue most of the time. You know roughly where the pivot in the game is happening and just spend your time in that moment, like moves 5-15. By move 15 you almost always have a clear advantage. And so far it boils down to, of course experience, but also a great deal of patience. So many players go for a quick win (or semi-quick win), and if you simply develop, improve pieces/position, open the center (pawn breaks), look for tactics (skewers, pins, forks ...), and put pressure in multiple directions at once (you employ your queen with devastating power) ... the opponents fall. Simple, but not easy to actually remember all those moves, move orders, positions, etc. Fun stuff and thanks for narrating us through it.

    • @davidchandra8722

    @dumbledorelives93 Місяць тому +1

    It would be interesting if the rules of chess included making it so that if a piece "controls" certain squares, but is currently pinned so that they can't move to those squares, the king could move to those technically uncontrolled squares. Such as the position that led to checkmate at 19:00

    • @yanair2091
      @yanair2091 16 днів тому +1

      You mean "to those technically *controlled* squares"? If so, I find the idea really interesting. I guess it depends on the rule that the king in chess can't be taken.

    I have worked on using the Greco Gambit (game 2), but I don't really like some of the complications, beginning with 7.Nc3. Stockfish prefers either Nbd2 or Bd2, and while Nc3 looks like it works well when you look at the full Lichess database, it is absolutely annihilated by black in the GM games (which admittedly is not my level, but I just don't care for the positions that arise).
    Instead, if black plays 3... Bc5, I like 4.O-O, after which black will usually play either Nf6 (more common) or d6 (better choice for black). Either way, I am comfortable with the game that ensues.
