    "b4 is a big mistake. b4 is a big mistake. I don't like this move." Your mom's commentary is so awesome, she is so enthusiastic and has such a deep understanding of the positions, plus can observe everything without the pressure of actually playing.

      I'm actually not sure this specific type of commentary helps Anna. I wonder if Anna (in the back of her mind) is so afraid of her mom saying "big mistake, big mistake!" that she becomes overly perfectionist and fearful, and this is the root cause of her time troubles.

    The comments of your mom takes us to a complete emotional journey during your chess matches. Its so fun and good to see when you play a move she wanted you to play. She gets sooo happy all the time. She is so proud of you playing that move. its adorable. And then when you make a mistake move. She is soo down and sad you play that move.. "oh i dont like that move.. that was a mistake. she shouldn't have played that move.. ooh am so sad, now she will not win the game' but she always give hartwarming explanations for your mistakes. She was down on time. its easy sitting here, and she was under pressure so i understand ... she had to play quickly... Its soo fun to follow here emotional rollercoaster with ups and downs during your play! Anyway. Good luck for you upcoming games!

    Anna, whatever your rating, whatever your timing and whatever your result, I always enjoy watching your content. I played chess as a child but put it away in my teens as a 'boring' game. Now in my mid-40s I'm once again playing, mostly because you have shown what it is to enjoy it again (Gotham, Rosen and Botez are great too but you are the one always brimming with positivity about this ancient game as if it were brand new). There's no Elo rating for that, no FIDE title - the ability to make people discover and rediscover this game; whether at 500, 1500 or 2500 and to enjoy and learn from it - hardly any GMs ever achieve that. Of course, you may want more from the game personally - but know that in good moves and not-so-good moves, you're inspiring others.

    She is consistently the one with less time, if I were to be the opponent I would prepare for it, like actively playing as positional as possible, close the position as much as I can to then win on time.

  • @tonysu8860
    @tonysu8860 Місяць тому +4

    Anna, here's a suggestion about speeding up...
    Don't just play faster, that will always result in mistakes.
    Instead,
    One technique is to think of combination and move sequences as phrases in a story, the story of your unfolding game. Spend more time at the beginning of a sequence and spend less (but don't move without thinking) in the middle of a sequence until you reach the end of your "phrase." The killer of slow moving is to spend long amounts of time on every move.
    Another technique is to have confidence that you can visualize one move deep.
    This means that when you're thinking on your opponent's time, you'll be expecting your opponent to make a next move... And if he makes that move, then you should take only a moment to double-check your analysis and respond with your planned move quickly... maybe after 15-30 seconds whatever you feel comfortable with. If you're really lousing visualizing the board one move deep, this can't or shouldn't be done but most semi-experienced players should be confident visualizing the board one move beyond what you see.
    Good Luck. And, if you think you can play bullet well then don't be afraid of getting in some time trouble... But very few players can play quality chess in time trouble.

      If you are having fun, you are doing chess the right way. Learning chess is like learning music, or art. I think it is much better to have fun than to be "good". I have been playing mediocre chess for over 50 years. (64 years old). It is always a thrill to win... but I have learned that fun is what the game is all about. So, keep having fun and you will have a game for life.

    @DaveNeve Місяць тому +1

    Hello Anna and all. I think the thing to remember is that if you can't quickly work out 2+ multiple complicated lines four or five moves ahead, nor can your opponent in all probability So although you may not have played the very best move, your opponent won't either. So if you see what looks like a good move and even if you can't see the outcome many moves ahead, it's better to play it anyway, rather than burn up all your time. Cos you often lose the game due to time pressure.

    If you play fast and blunder with 1 hr left;
    1. You have time to recover.
    2. You might confuse your opponent and then you calculate on his time
    3. You have more time at the end, the only point it matters.
    5. You have way better odds of winning.
    6. Chess becomes more fun because you don’t panic at the end, you either prevail or you don’t.

    I have the same time issues as you and like you said it comes down to trying to be a perfectionist (find the best move in every position).
    The thing is this: The stakes are much higher between move 30 and 40, when the position is complex and you need to get to move 40. It's much more important to have more time here than using it in the early stages to decide between some moves that are of similar value anyway and won't decide the game.
    I just played a 9 round tournament and forced myself to play fast and I didn't get into time trouble in any game. Took me 18 years to finally do it :D.

    5:21: I'm far from being as good at chess as you are, but if you move pawn c4 first, the queen would be able to defend the knight when it goes to e6. In this position, it would be threatening both rooks and the dark squared bishop. A triple fork. I don't see what moving the king changes about the viability of this move, but maybe I don't have that level of foresight.
    If anyone sees a better move, please let me know.
    Edit: It was pawn to F5? I definitely need to develop my skills because I still don't see what's that advantageous about the move.

    Anna, your videos are so good in quality and your passion and compassion really shines through. I already watched the livestream of the next rounds' (two rounds in 1 day) games, so won't give any spoiler comments on how your time management challenge to yourself turned out.
    Best wishes on playing faster, yet also making great (doesn't have to be perfect) moves too. I do understand it is a work in progress and I also believe too, like you said, there is a big psychological aspect. A way I think of time management is like if you had only so much precious money to last you for food and groceries for the entire month. Do you spend almost all of it early and then struggle the rest of the month? Or do you pace your spending and keep for critical days and aim to have some left to last though the entire month? Precious time on the chess clock is similar to money for food and groceries that way.
    There is a quote that I remember when my perfectionism gets in the way. The quote goes "You don't have to be perfect to be excellent."

    performance and sports psychology might have some keys for unblocking the emergent time distortion which happens for chess players. Especially if players map when it occurs compared to comparable scenarios and considerations in which it does not occur.
    I'd be fascinated to see who helps to train GM's to improve on the time management inside of games ...
    There's just so much to think about approaching the mid-game (or exiting it) once we have openings.
    Curious to know the relationship of minimal prep, over-prep to time challenges. I imagine it varies player by player

    @matspatpc Місяць тому +1

    I fully understand the "stop spending so much time thinking" part being very hard, and mostly psychological. In an idea case, you want to end the game with very little time left, but not having to rush things. And the REALLY hard part is that you can easily spoil the whole game by not spending enough time early on, making a bad move, and the other player wins anyway - you just had more time left at the end of the game. Damned if you do, damned if you don't type thing.
    It's so much easier to sit in an armchair watching to tell what has to be done - especially when the person winning or losing isn't the one sitting in the armchair, eh? :)
    I'm old enough to know better, but I still struggle with "thinking enough about my next move" - not particularly in chess, but in general in life and thngs. Impulse conrotl setting = low.

    You put tons of pressure on yourself by burning your clock out. Clock management is as important as making proper moves.

    regarding time spent per move, I have noticed that the human unconscious mind often makes better decisions, in this case chess moves -> if we let it guide us! that means make the move that first "jumps" out that isn't an obvious blunder it will often be the best move.

    I saw the potential pressure on the Queen but I thought f5😶. Thanks to mother and daughter for another interesting video. Posting losses is humbling but instructive for all your followers!
