I've been following your channel for 2-3 months only but I love some of your stuff, keep up the good work sir ! In this one when you talked about the "time trouble addict" (you didn't call it that but some friends of mine do :p), I clearly saw in my mind a teammate of mine who's always down to 2-3 minutes byt move 30 with 10 moves to go until the next time addition. Not a single time does he not get there and every time we have a team match it's a bit frustrating cuz as you say in some position that seem somewhat "harmless" and need no concrete calculation he'll spend like 10 minutes 3 moves in a row and already everyone in the room knows where he's going. Anyway this message has already gone for too long, looking forward for your next video ;)
That's very helpful! I find myself get into time trouble a lot - I always have the will to play the absolute best move in every single position, but after 25 moves, I usually have a superior advantage on the board but has only few minutes to play the resulting middle-endgame. I will take your advices from this video - thanks!
04:02 I first saw this idea in Richard Rapport vs Magnus Carlsen, in which Rapport outplayed Carlsen in Tata Steel. 16:18 After 1. Qxe6+ Qf7 2. Qxc8+ Kh7, Black has 2 minor pieces for the rook, but the weaker king. And I think white may be winning after Qd8, threatening Re7. Na5 and Bd3 are out of play.
This was the video I absolutely needed.My elo is around 1800 but many people tell me that I play like a 2000-2100.But I have a time management issue and I usually lose or draw winning positions because of it.Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. One exercise that got me better at time management is solving a number of positins during a given time. Maybe 30 minutes for 6 positions, some of them are tactical, some of them aren't.
After Bxg7, black has f4 attacking the rook with ideas of ...Bg6, cutting off communication on the file and giving back the piece. That variation should be looked at.
Just what I needed Kostya! Going to try to apply the "30 minutes left at move 30" tip this weekend!
Awesome, good luck!

Haha thanks Romain! Indeed it's a common type of player :)

Your profile pic reminds me of someone 🙂
In Spassky vs. Hübner, Rxg7 was not a mate threat (Kf8 and the king “survives”), but still a decisive one.
True, not quite mate but decisive

That's a good exercise to keep in mind, thanks
Great stuff Kostya- I felt seen in your discussion of dithering in positions like the first one 😔
Aha, awesome thanks!
