This time you forgot the other rule which was time management while trying to figure out each move. Chess is hard man.
Yeah, I also felt like he was a little pre-occupied with castling when he had his opponent on the back foot.
Yes, castling is good, but sometimes you gotta press home the advantage and momentum when you get it.
This was a tough game, though. A lot of calculations needed to be made and the clock was ticking. Hopefully he can win the next one.
He'd probably do a lot better if he switched to 15/10
You broke your rule at the very very start ..you moved at high speed CHASED HIS BISHOP to where hmm ..to a square that meant you could no longer develop your own light square bishop which is the entire point of the Caro K
He has next to no understanding of positional chess.
This was hilarious
He transposed to advanced french where the bishop’s supposed to be in the shadow
@@al87221 I play the French and you do NOT want to move your pawn to c4 your main point of attack is whites d4 pawn, plus the White square bishop is blacks problem piece in the advanced French getting it off the board or outside the pawn chain before playing d6 locking it in means you would have a superior version of the advanced.. Patrick just does not understand these ideas
11:00 Patrick the pawnnapper begins to calculate.
"Candidate move". Oh dear. He needs to learn to get the basics right before he starts pontificating about candidate moves....
Chasing his bishop at the bishop at the beginning was not developing your pieces. You extended your pawns and removed your own ability to develop and fight for the center.
This gave your opponent easy development and plans and you lost time trying to be creative with your worse position.
Gg, see you tomorrow
@@kylerberry Indeed. He only succeeded in chasing the bishop to the diagonal it wanted to be on anyway.
Trying to find tactics in every position is a huge time burn. Only start calculating tactics when there are indicators on the board -- things like a Queen in the line of fire behind a pinned piece, or the possibility of a discovery attack, or a forking square that's weakly protected. Only when you see the clues should you spend time calculating it out.
Also, tactics present themselves when you pressure your opponent. You pressure your opponent by playing strong positional chess. You play strong positional chess by developing your pieces and placing them on active squares so you can control the board. Following your opening's principles/theory is what helps you do that.
Not going off book to chase a bishop around the board, lol.
This is excellent advice!
Five games in a row with black. You must of done something to annoy the chess gods.
whats wrong with getting black?
@@aries2764 :)
@@aries2764 win as black is much harder than as white
@@Misha_Ponziani Only if you don't know what you are doing
@@Misha_Ponzianiat 1300 rating it’s all the same
You have the right rule... stick to it and your rating WILL increase... when you get to under 2 mins, just check for his threats before you move. Not a bad game.
It took you 9 minutes to castle so, essentially, you were playing a rook down for most of the game…
Yes! Get your pieces, including your rooks, on squares where they belong. So don't put off castling to calculate possible tactics when your opponent is solid. Castle and then you'll improve your chances of finding a tactic.

This is good! I'm glad you're finally thinking about your opponent's next move. It's just a matter of doing it faster (and please don't wait until the middle game to start, you can literally do this on every-single-move, even in the opening. It's just that it goes MUCH faster in the opening because you already know your opponent's next potential moves). The first time we do something, it's slow but as you continue thinking about your opponent's next moves, it will get faster. I think it would be ideal to combine ALL the baseline rules you have at the moment including the development ones: This would have saved you a lot of time in the opening as you spent precious minutes deciding if you should develop the bishops. Keep up the progress, this is good.
This was a good game! You finally started thinking about the opponent's moves beforehand. You only missed their threat of taking your knight at the end
I wonder how this journey will conclude
IN MISERY
In victory
In 2500 more days 😂
@drbinglederry9785 lmao but on a serious note, I wonder when patrick will give up on this journey
Don't stop playing, Patrick. 2K elo is coming soon.
NO IT ISN'T
He is never going to get anywhere near 2000 doing what he's doing now. He was overrated at his peak rating of 1550. You cannot burn nine minutes in the opening in a 10/5 game, post a 69 accuracy rating, and hope to reach 2000. You have to know your opening repertoire and the ideas associated with it much better, so that you play more confidently and faster. And you have to churn out 80+ accuracy, ideally 85+ accuracy, game after game.
2000 is never coming. 1400 elo is only when chess STARTS to get hard. There is a massive chasm between 1400 elo chess and 1600 elo chess. And the space between 1600 and 2000 elo is absolutely staggering. Patrick's ceiling is miles below 2000.
@@chad1755 Hard to disagree. Very hard!
the a6 pawn again
The computer's reason for g6 was not only to fianchetto, it was so could could still get you c8 bishop out.
I think you need to count OUT LOUD while calculating, "up 1 point, back to even, up 3 points, back to even, ... ect." You are going into lines that you calculated, and then realizing after the tension resolves that you lost material.
This is going nowhere. You are talking about principles but then breaking one after another. If you are getting closer to time trouble, just make the obvious simple principle moves, i.e. improving pieces, getting all the pieces into action, connecting rooks, getting rooks to an open file....and so on. This way, you will not overthink every single move while you are 5 minutes behind your opponent....
I seem to notice he obsesses over certain moves and either overthinks or is conscious of the viewer. I noticed he wasn't even aware of his time but when the red flashed to under a minute, his eyes looked to the clock. I think he needs a timeout for a bit
Good work P-man :). Did you notice that absurdly cute dog in his profile picture???? :D That was so adorable
Puzzels are ok but I found playing more blitz and bullet games helped alot with time management for my rapid games. My rapid rating has been going up alot faster since I did that.
Loving the content. It’s good to see your journey. Sure you’ll strike a balance between calculation and time management soon.
How come Patrick's opponent is higher rated in 90% of his games? No wonder he doesn't win very much. And not even 'slightly' higher rated, but 100 points? Chess.fraud.
10+10 is a very uncommon time control, so there are very few players in that pool and he gets matched with a lot wider of a range. If he played something more common he'd face players closer to his rating.
@@chad1755 Looks more like 10+5 to me, and it still doesn't explain why his opponents are mostly higher rated. I don't remember him playing someone 100 points lower rated. I just checked his last 10 games and he had 8 higher rated opponents (2 of them 160 points higher rated!), 2 opponents with the same rating and ZERO lower rated opponents.
He changed his settings a couple of months ago so he doesn't get lower rated opponents anymore. Someone in the comments advised it but looks like a bad idea with such a high loss ratio since.
Nice play, Patrick
Props to sticking to your strategy, even if it didn't work in the end, you played equal chess up into you just ran out of time 👍🏽👍🏽.
The moves you should have calculated, you didn't. You need to be calculating and planning your response when they're in the clock. You don't seem to be doing anything other than planning your moves or waiting for them to move. Their time is also your time. Missed a lot of tactics and gave away a winning position several times because you snap took.
You lost several minutes again in a fairly common opening you should know. Study your openings more!
Exercise in futility….Going nowhere fast…
You castle at 1:40, so, 9 minutes to develop. Not 2k material.
You played well in my opinion. Opponent was solid and fast on the clock, that happens.
21.20, why you didn’t play Qc2? It pins the bishop to the queen, and you have an extra tempo to make a luft for your king.
What is luft?
@@Marenqo breathing space
@@Faizan.Ali93 thanks
i think he has quit
awww yesss... sapol nassar
Not a good game on your end. PLay was sloppy. 😂
better start a new series.. road to 1200. youll be there faster
Good try never good to trap your king like that though.
Hey Patrick. It is not really going your way. Do you have a certain time limit in mind to reach you goal?
Primero
Secondo
@@danielward7008 Well done-o :)
@@radscorpion8 Grazieee 😀
Patrick just stating watching enjoy your music. Pat u spend too much time analyzing your moves and find the clock is not your friend.
