I've noticed that you've been getting less views than before lately that's why I just wanna point out that please don't quit. That might not be on your mind rn but I saw thousands of youtubers who quit for the same exact reason before, and I don't want it to happen to you too. You're the reason for the success of my carrier and I'm super thankful for that. Most of my games are won because of the things you thought and I'm looking forward to learn more. Keep up the good work!
Btw this is my first time commenting so you might not know me. But I've won a total of 4 chess tournaments in my career all thanks to your videos, I'm really thankful for that
Hello Jason! I really appreciate your comment 🙌 Congrats on such a nice progress and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us 😎 We have a good group enjoying these lessons and as long as they are useful to someone, we'll keep going. These videos are not as popular since most people on UA-cam (according to my research 😅) are consuming beginner's content (first 100 lessons or so). Anyways, don't think you will get rid of me so quickly 💪
@@NMRobertRamirez personally, I appreciate the advanced content a lot. I enjoy trying to calculate along with you through these videos and I think it is helping me get better at tactics. I’m at like 3200 in the tactics trainer but I’m still trying to push forward and your vids are very helpful practice recently.
I calculated queen to g2 as the very first move. Presently black has three hits on that square (e4) but you only have two. Meaning black’s queen probably has the final say. After that move, pawn to g5 prompting a kick of black’s knight. That move would prompt the take of e4 pawn if it’s to be taken, or give an advantage over the square if not. Retaliate with your knight first, then bishop to attack the queen and rook simultaneously.
I played a game against a higher rated player after watching this video I played solid and calculated a lot and he ended up resigning. I have to say that this guy is the best coach on UA-cam
Thank you for this content. It got me to think further ahead than I usually do, and I guess that’s an insight into real chess which I tend not to play lol. Good stuff and I’ll probably re-watch.
Hello, im the one who got so much help from your video. To be true, this is what i do every time during the match. Very surprised you recommended the very technique i use all the time. Please keep up your hard work!
Thanks you so much for making chess videos, I played casually but since discovering your channel have really focused on getting better. I would still be 400 Elo if it weren’t for you and your Pirc,KID videos. Thank you!
What book do you recommend to help practise these things? I'm 1700 Elo, and I tried GM R.B Ramesh's book ""Improve your chess calculation"" but it was quite challenging. I'm pretty decent at tactics though.... 1,2, 3 move tactics instantly, 4 5 moves if I look a bit harder.
Hi coach I have a question 4 march i have a tournament and this few days i change my opening (black and white)but I didn't do prepare for it so should i play my old opening when tournament or new opening
@@chuahsq7803 dont be stressed, i had a same problem as you, i chose the new one and it didnt go as good as i expected. Just play what you know the best and everything will be okay
Coach, I’m trying to learn openings and I find it hard to memorise so many lines and my opponents rarely even play them! Should I focus more on the openings main ideas, where the pieces go and middlegame plans or should I stick to memorising theory
Im not the coach, but as a 2100 rated player, i recommend you to understand rather than to memorize. Memorizing can seem tempting and can seem to be helping you in short terms. However, as your rating surges, ull find a point where its impossible to proceed with little opening understanding. Also upon underatanding, memorizing is no longer a option. It becomes a part of you. Also when opponent plays the move that is not on lines, it means it has a potential weakness masters sought. Try to apply middlegame strategy in that case, and try to find the weakness. Sometimes it gives you a free win. Good luck on doing chess, and i wish you a great day.
Hi Robert. Great video, as usual. Can you recommend few books that have that format of exercises (Find the most aggressive move, calculate variations)? Thanks!
I had a game where I overcalculated just recently. I struggled finding the right continuation, because I didn't see the final blow in one variation. Maybe interesting for someone: 4br1r/pp2kp2/2pnpRB1/3pN1P1/8/4P3/PPP5/2K2R2 w - - 9 28
Hi Robert! Do you have any other book or resource recommendations that have good positions for practicing calculating variations? Something for a lower intermediate (1200-1500). Seems that most calculation material is geared towards much higher ratings.
mate in 1,2,3,4 is a good for your training calculate. 2.- Ana muzychuck chessbase india video is a great video of how GM calculate, the thought process is important....Check material, threats of my oponent, check capture...etc.etc.
Me: ah, I can always take on g7, this should be winning! Video: not even considering knight g7. Reality: no I didn't take the 10 minutes cause I am in the street but also I'm behind 1-2 years of videos so still trying to catch up! Still 1500 lichess but puzzles went up to 1800. Soo... still much to learn and process but something is clicking. Thanks so much for your videos! Slowly slowly we'll be digesting... & congratssss on your progress as well 😊
P.s.: also letting comments on older videos so that the algorithm is happy, but not sure you notice those, so, just letting you know that the job you did years before is still being used and enjoyed! P.s.2: Your work and the work of that other Tato guy who likes horsing around complement so well!
@@ruthxk7844 thank you! Yes, I try to get back to all comments especially since most of you are still in the first 100 lessons 👍 And yes, I did spend time calculating Nxg7 on my own 😅💪
@@NMRobertRamirez ahahaha, don't worry about it, I just wanted to let you know but I understand you already have many things to do, first things first!🎯 Ohhh 😂 it's good that Nxg7 was at least a candidate move! Still half a noob but onto something 😊😎💪

Wow love this comment ❤️
Guess the viewership started declining after he switched to that aweful blue board.
Great lessons, great words, great motivation, great work.
Thank you, Evan! 🙌😎

These Calculating lessons are very valuable. This is something that I am definitely working on.
