    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!

      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.

    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.

    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

    • @bluegale5190
      @bluegale5190 Рік тому

      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! 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.
