- NM Dan Heisman describes the thought process of determining initial candidate moves & then narrowing that list to the final candidates that will be compared to finally "pick the best in a reasonable amount of time" & then make the move.

Thanks for watching! If you liked today's video on Candidate moves, I have another one on virtually the same topic: ua-cam.com/video/qmCKAG7wrdc/v-deo.html . Want even more help with your chess?

Hey, you are the chess teacher that I came across first in my chess hobby. When I wanted to beat my brother in chess ten years ago, I looked for suggestion to learn the basics and your book was suggested in many places. I haven't been playing actively but your thoughts on thinking process and focusing on simple things have changed my view on chess.
These youtube videos are really nice as well, thanks for the channel. I have been looking for a video on when to play h3 and g4 when there is an opponent's bishop on g4 and one's own knight on f3 is pinned to the queen on d1. I wonder have you ever done a video of that as whether to play g4 or not to release a pin seems to be a really common decision to make in many of my chess games.
Glad to be the one to help! My list of books is at www.danheisman.com/dans-books.html so if the book you mention is there, that's me :) I do have a video called "A Guide to P-R3" which is not exactly what you asked, but is in the ballpark: ua-cam.com/video/4IPERQEUS2M/v-deo.html. There is not just one rule to cover your question but I learned a lot from reading lots of master games, seeing when the engine said it was good, etc.
This guy is genius.
If you are referring to me, thanks! If you are referring to someone else (maybe one of the players in the examples) then, yes the GMs are quite good! :)
My favorite move was Qe1 in order to harass the other queen, but that wasn't even on the engine's top move list. :(
Thanks, but don't feel bad; my top candidates don't often match the 3500 rated engine's candidates very much, either! :)
I've been working on the "safety" analysis/check before moving. At first, it is causing me some difficulty to preserve other parts of my analysis. It's hard to explain this, but I've gone through it before. It's like I've already been doing as much as I can on each move, but I need to do "more." So, I think I'm forced to give up something else until I can get better at the safety step. That probably sounds confusing.
But I am now fully dedicated to incorporating the safety check before moving. I'm beginning on the first move when I'm out of my knowledge of book moves in the opening.
There is a large difference between an initial check if a candidate move is safe (which is a normal step) and the beginner's "Sanity check" at the end of the thought process because they often don't filter out terrible moves earlier. A good player does not do a sanity check because going back to square 1 at the end would be inefficient so they have to filter out unsafe moves early.
@@danheismanchess Thank you!!
I think my biggest weakness is that I miss opponent's obvious reply-refutation--right on the surface--once or twice per game. Usually a "threat" I failed to consider. It's my "hope" chess move(s) that you warn will cause a ceiling of 1700-1800 (USCF)--i.e., me! Then, I'm either lucky, or I lose.
Nearly every other part of my game is likely above my rating, but this skill seems far below my rating.
So I guess I am trying to go back and drill more of a "Sanity" check before my final move...🤞
Yes, one of the first things you do with every candidate move is ask "If I make this move, does my opponent have a dangerous check, capture, or threat in reply and how would I safely meet it?" If you don't do this, it is Hope Chess, and if you do and still occasionally make a mistake, then it's just "welcome to the club" because none of us are engines perfect at tactics.
Great video Dan thanks 👍
