  • In this video I explain how to come up with chess plans in the middle game. This is typically a part of the game where many get lost, so I hope this helps you out in figuring out what to do! :)

      That's a far better plan than just being in sheer terror throughout the game (which is the closest thing to a plan I ever have).

      Works until 1500 to 1600. There you will face a magic barrier preventing you from winning games. This video was perfect for bypassing this barrier

      @@PowerAnjohn Yeah, thats where i'm at now. I used to just make good moves until the opponent makes a weakness and then i can capitalize. Now i'm realizing that no longer works and i need to have a solid plan and provoke weaknesses as opponents no longer blunder regularly. Its a more difficult jump for me from 1500 to 1800 than from 1200 to 1500

    3. Try to create weaknesses in your opponent's position.

    I’m quickly becoming a big fan. I love your logic and ability to make the game fun while being strategic. You are providing me with a reason to stay engaged with the game by creating a Plan in any given situation. Many times after my opening, the London, if the opponent makes some unexpected moves, I feel lost, no plan. But your strategy is on going and now I will try again to play with purpose instead of thinking that I need to memorize certain moves for every layout.

    this helps visualize all 3 segments of a game..start with a solid opening (not too hard when there's so many educational tutorials on openings) continue with plans in the middle game creating and attacking the opponents weaknesses and getting the most value out of your pieces then finalize the deal with an easy-ish endgame as a reward for a great middle game

    You had a very constructive mindset whilst recording this video. Something or someone was inspiring you to patiently explain these things carefully, with detail and examples. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this from you. And now that I've watched the whole video, I can see where we think similarly, but also where I fall short on completing a plan to dismantle. The game is complicated, it has responses, and it is lose track of an aim or to take lightly an opponent's response - at my level. I can see that you have more consciousness or ideas of what your opponent is or might be planning. Thanks again for this content - I must be getting better if I'm thinking better 😊
