Beautiful! For me, it is mindblowing how you conect concepts, how you explain them , and how you illustrate them with clear examples. I am studing my first book on strategy and doing some tactics every day, and this video has open my eyes realizing their conection. Thanks a lot for doing these videos!!!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It makes me so happy to hear this feedback, shows me that I am on the right track with reawakening my YT channel. Stay tuned for more! I am here to help improve your game and spread my chess passion!
lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! took a little hiatus from chess but i now have the time to fully commit to improving again, off work till jan! now time to break that 800 elo, with none other than DR Can! i have about 8 of your videos to catch up on cannot wait! I've started with this, you really have an amazing way of teaching man honestly its a rare gift! its akin to you know back in school when you had that 1 teacher who was really passionate, and for some reason you loved and excelled in that class, yes because the teacher was a special 1! you have that sparkle in your teaching, i feel like a kid again, and i am 30 ahahaah thankyou for your hard work Dr Can! Much Respect from Manchester England. also i dont know if you have videos of any of your games, but would be a nice addition to your channel i would watch, if you already do my bad for being lazy aha

This is why i like sam shankland,his thinking is unreal.And his chessables are very good as well.I have all the Aagard books his trainer plus sam's books are good as well.
To do the impossible, we must first attempt the impossible! So many times throughout history experts have been proven wrong because someone dared to think further. We are often limited in our thinking because we give up beforehand. Chess is so inspiring, if only more people knew!
Talk about lazy bro, he is the teacher, so passionate !, I got to know him less than a month ago teaching pawn breaks, am in Africa, it's so hard here but man , unconditionally he delivers, i cant deliver my bad but he is worthy bro of each single penny
I am so happy to hear this, thank you for your encouraging comment! You are welcome, stay tuned for more content! And please share the channel with your chess friends so we can reach more people!
Your first example is really splendid hahaha! I didn't come up with that move. Yes, for a second I did see the Knight c6 move. But without any conscious decision making I disregarded that candidate move. Split second, like I am in a hurry. I find it hard to apply Sam Shankland rule. My lazy brain tries to calculate less wide as it prefers deep calculating (I love it!). However my more than 3 ply-calculating is inviting too many mistakes I noticed. These day's I play less 10 minutes Rapid chess games and more 15|10 games (15 minutes + 10 seconds increment per move). More room for conscious decision making, right? But to get me in the habit of applying the Sam Shankland rule, would it be helpful to play more long time controles? Like 30|20 games? Is there something to say about this? By the way, up till today I've done 27% of Chessable's Fundamental Chess Calculation Skills course. I will keep doing the lessons course as I am sure that will help me too 😀
Thank you as always! Great that you are making progress on the calculation course! You said you only trained tactics for a long time. How did you find this course? It also contains positional puzzles, that is why I am asking. Yes, I believe longer time controls is better to be able to succesfully apply newly-learned material. Your brain is forming new connections about the Sam Shankland Rule, and probably it won't be able to apply it in a blitz game as yet :)
Unfortunately I got none of them right this time. It's very difficult to see a strategic idea that's tactically justified if you have trouble seeing both. The one with the knight sac on c6 I didn't consider that at all, but did see the tactic when you said Nc6 is correct. The one with b5 where the knight couldn't recapture, I saw the strategic idea but not that the knight gets trapped. The one with the knight trade that seemed to hang a knight, I saw the rough idea of the tactic but didn't calculate correctly all the way to the end On the position where you can sac the knight on c6 because Qc6 threatens both the rook and the fork on king and bishop, all I saw initially was some idea to move the other Knight to f6 (and from there potentially e4 in the future if the opponent leaves that undefended?) and then put the b8 knight on d7. But it's probably too slow and the first knight could get kicked out of both f6 and e5 by White so it would probably just end up in the desert somewhere and be a constant liability instead of making things better for Black
The impossible is possible in chess, indeed. If this doesn't appear in every game and you end up exchanging all the pieces for a dull draw, I'd say the impossible was overlooked!

Excellent, many thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing Sir very informative many thanks💙
So nice of you, thank you!
Great video as always. It reinforces the importance of controlling my thought process and not letting my brain automatically cull “impossible” moves.
Thank you! Yes, that is the main take-home message!

I loved reading this, what a beautiful angle and analogy! Chess is so inspiring indeed!

With chess logic and beauty collide !
Absolutely!

I'm a big fan of Shankland; I love the 'Shankland Rule'. Looking forward to more such examples!
Thank you so much! More will follow surely - perhaps I can fetch a Chessable course on this topic? :)
@@Dr.CansClinic You'd have to publish a new one - I have all your Chessable stuff already ;-)
Thank you!! I will start thinking about it! The title of the course: "The Art of Achieving the Impossible in Chess"@@MistaMasta12
@@Dr.CansClinic That is an awesome title. I would definitely buy that :-)

Thanks for the honest feedback. This was one of my hardest episodes.
brutal!! +100 elo gracias!
My pleasure!
