"You must trust your calculation" this is such a good insight. My calculation is garbage, but what am I doing if I'm not playing what I think is the best move? That's like going to the gym, saying "looks heavy" and going home.
Let's get Andras to 25k subs by the summers end!!!
Summer of 2067 you mean ?😢
Growth is exponential ;)
Missing horizontal attacks by either the Queen or the Rook are common tactical mistakes. The one displayed here is the most complex example of this that I've seen so far and was pretty cool!
Thanks a lot for not forgetting us on UA-cam :)
Waiiii you traveled with my mind bro tiaaa!
no bs approach. if you dont play lines because you might miss something in your calculation... then perfect your calculation. what I needed to hear!
What a great example position! Thanks a lot!
Excellent video. Very insightful. The only thing that I wish was mentioned was some specific examples of recommended source material to practice this.
Excellent video, as usual, from an experienced, insightful, and motivational coach! His idea that you get better at calculation by doing lots of practice (and, as he recommends elsewhere, writing down your calculated lines + evaluations) is on point. Andras Toth is a great teacher!
another awesome video from andras ..keep doing it man :)
I hope you had a great time at the Davis. ‘Sideways moves are the hardest moves to see.’ Pal Benko.
Incredible class
Awesome as always!
This is great stuff
Super instructive content, truly a youtube pearl!
Hi Andras! Can you recommend any calculation book? I want to have a structured, organised calculation method, as Kotov describes in his book, but Kotov's suggestions are severely outdated and unrealistic. Also Jacob Aaagard's calculation book was criticized a bit by GM Kraai(from Chessdojo)
P.S. My FIDE rating is 1820
Complete book of chess strategy by Jeremy Silman, I read all of his books and his look at positional chess, using squares as goals or an opponents piece. My understanding and game play improved.
Great example!
Nice content as usual
You help me a lot
very instructive
Just seen the video, AMAZING and very funny to calculare before you announce lines….BUT…. My question is: given:
* the startint position
* my almost 1800 rating otb
* my immediately gut feeling that Qh6 somehow works and white is winning
* some optimism for white that should play for attack and not for defense
….. which lines should I calculate in around 10 minutes to make a move and when should I stop the calculations ?
Thanks Andras .. I have the first comment n I never thought I would type something like this in my life .. btw I m 36 n m a doctor but ur video makes me a child
Thanks. From Mars.
superb video, please do more on this topic. What is a good book on pawn endgames?
Many books on endgames also cover pawn endgames. The thing is that one can't really recommend anything without knowing your needs and your playing strength. For example, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is really famous, but not suitable for players under 2000...
U can’t be this good man
are there any references that you recommend for calculation?
This is amazing, but how do I find such games?
At 14:26, isn't Re6 simpler for White to win?
- Andras rants in many video's about why we should be playing mainlines and play the open sicilian
- Andras gives 2.c3 versus the Sicilian in his Chessable course
I am sure that it is really not that hard to grasp...
It's a beginner's repertoire. Open Sicilian is for intermediates and beyond.
@@Panflap Its not even that. In beginners repertoire I dont get to say "learn these 20000 variations " or "just play it and you will be fine!"
Exactly! I think you did a terrific job. Intuitive, well explained lines with companion model games for middlegame plans. What more could one want?
@@ChessCoachAndras Was tongue in cheek on my side ofcourse. I understand it's impossible to make a low theory friendly beginner course with the open sicilian. From what rating range DO you recommend the open sicilian though?
TI-84 is the best chess engine
Yeah this was too advanced for me. But I get what I need to work on.
This is by far the hardest thing for me to do in chess. I'm not gonna give up tho.
Whatch your middle game for endgames
5:03 i gave up on e5 too
!!
"is it going to cut the cheese?" Ew I hope not!
