5:30. "And if you don't know what to do, then sit there and figure it out". Fantastic quote. Back in grad school, I had a tough as nails professor; if any of us said "I don't know" to a question, he would always respond with "ok, when do you plan on knowing?". Annoyed the daylights out of me, but he was right; the answer doesn't just magically show up.
Thanks coach. This content seems so easy for you to make but it's some of the best. IMO much better than the lessons with other players. Those videos are in my humble opinion generally a bit too long and tailored to that particular student whereas here we get to hear your unfiltered thoughts. You just sit down and play and talk aloud. Please, more like this!
@@ChessCoachAndras Of course. But a few more of these every now and then and I'd be happy as can be! Just look at Naroditskys speedrun series, this is similar but the way you explain is very different. I find your explanations often to be deeper and more nuanced.
These are some of my favorite videos of yours, Andras. Love just seeing you play a slow game and elucidate your thought process, especially regarding pawn structures and thematic breaks. Excellent
While it's a too little early to say one hundred percent for sure, so far, I think your 1. ...d5 course is your best opening course to date. The play is very intuitive and even the gambit lines feel natural. I'm really enjoying it.
Just started your 'centre' course on chessable. Loving it so far. It really helps to understand the moves here and in other videos as well. And most importantly it helped me understand mistakes I made in a game I played today.
It really depends. If you play blitz or especially shorter rapid with the mindset of improving, then in some cases the best thing you can do is to try to find the best move no matter the cost. Obviously its a slight exaggeration.
Cool man thanks, that is a good concept I feel most people would rather accept playing sub par moves and hope opponent blunders just to not lose on time but to your point doing so will likely keep you stagnated for a while... Oh the psychology of chess, one must accept losing on time for the greater goal of long term improvement
21:30 Andras what is better than 0-0 here for white? It looks to me like he’s played your chessable course right up to this point so unless I’m mistaken I think the course suggests 0-0 on move 7? Does white have a better option youve since discovered? :)
Hello coach! I am undergoing a very serious problem right now.I am throwing my completely winning games and it's very painful. it's been a serious problem for the last 2months which is stopping me from breaking 2200 on lichess
I know it's off-topic,but Andras please STOP bad-mouthing the London System. If you don't care for it, fine. However, there are plenty of GM's and Super GM's who have played it and won with it! It's great for us adult learners who do NOT have time to memorize a bunch of opening theory.
NO it is not good for adult learners, and That is PRECISELY the reason why I am badmouthing it. I happen to have a video on why , btw. The sheer number of people who come to this channel thanking me for opening up a whole new world to them after wasting years of their lives (their words, not mine!) on the London is astounding! I aim to be be as much a crowd-pleaser as possible, but This is a non-negotiable.
There are a bunch of sound openings that one can play well without learning opening theory. Let's face it, you are probably not going to face someone who has memorized a dozen moves of theory, so you don't need to do it either. And speaking as an adult learner myself, I got sick of playing the same dull system every game and getting nothing out of the opening. The only thing that playing the London contributed to my chess is an appreciation for actual openings. Playing the same "easy" system exclusively, whether London or any other, will only keep you stuck at your current level.

Cheers mate, I like your professor! Know that Both him and I want you the best!

Glad you like it, its hard to create content that everyone equally loves.

20:47 king going to g2 messed it up in a different way as well (Ne3 forkerino)

Genuinely the best chess learning content on youtube bar none

Great video coach! I loved explanation why bf4 is a mid move!
András, I really missed these videos by you, and would especially like for example a montage video of games where you're playing your d5 repertoire :)
I loved this video where you explain everything move-by-move!
What a fantastic game! Gonna have to check out the Slav. I'm a big fan of the KID and Benoni, but I gotta expand sometime :)
I love myself so much ❤
will have to watch all of this later but the first five minutes i found so instructive you must be a great mentor/coach, coach 👍
For the moment, at the end, I thought that we watch Hikaru in action. Great explanation btw. Hope to see more soon.
Inside My Head is a great series
Another one! Thanks for the constant uploads of top tier content, coach!
This type of guiding "move by move" is great. 👍 Even makes me think I'm gonna start playing The Slav. 🙂
Very clear explanations making the position make so much sense.
Nagyon jo!
Even if I'm a low-rated player, I really enjoy this kind of content, so it's a big thanks coach. 😁
You call it Inside My Head, but you're inside mine!
Superb series, cool game and great commentary. I bought the new course yesterday. Now I have my fingers crossed, for a "Beginners 1.e4 c5" course.
5:39 do you truly recommend losing on time when you don't know what to do?

Hello to the chicos and the chicas! 😂❤
Like or Dislike: Like. That was enjoyable and educational.
Nice

Happy to take a look!
@@ChessCoachAndras how? Should I send u my account name? Or something like that?
@@chessdude880 Twitter DM is simplest. Alternatively find my channel on Discord (called AndrasLive).
@@ChessCoachAndras okay 👍
U missed a fork on e3 in the end. You were already winning though
Yup!:)
Has your course been released? Also thought u were playing a gm lol
GM w/Elo of 1800 is pretty low lol. But gotta say it makes sense that you were confused - the username is so clickbaity
