Good points. As an 1800 player myself, the biggest shift that has helped me is mainly the mentality. I stopped being aggresive and westing my time searching for a fency attack or a checkmate. At this level you have to play positionally, you must convert small advantage into big advantages, do a lot of manuvering, put your pieces on good squares, keep everything defended and learn theoretical endgames. And that's it.

as another 1800 I disagree with some of it. You have to play positionally principled and get your pieces to active squares yes, but games are not won by converting small advantages at all. Games are still won by simple tactics or hanging pieces, I think people don't truly realise how much they / their opponent make silly mistakes unless the game review. Pick any 20 or so 10+0 between 1800s, then game-review them; 19/20 of them will be from tactical blunders, usually simple ones. Also people still fold from attacks ALOT, but you cant always create attacks out of thin air. also ive been in a theoretical endgame situation maybe twice at this level? games dont really last long enough to go to an equal theoretical endgame

This is massively true. So much can be learnt from studying model games or opening theory whilst genuinely asking why the best moves are so strong.

As a 1,800-2,000 player, You just need to follow principles. Thats it. I have played against a GM 6 times. In one of those games we reached the endgame. - I lost being down a pawn. GMs also only follow principles. I dont know how I will improve anymore.

great video man keep it up! I liked the you ACTUALLY focused on key ideas like coordinating your pieces or weak pawns. Rather than just spew the same bs that people do in videos like play more games or take responsibility. Actually giving things that people can work on now than just alter your entire life to climb out of certain elo, goes a long way.

As a peak 2102 rapid and 1809 blitz player (Definately underrated on blitz, I've gained almost 100 this last week cuz I play so little blitz) On reason was switching to a simpler opening for blitz that I understand well (Ruy->Italian, quiet game)

Im an agressive player who loves to play gambits and play behind in material for most of the game, ive been hard stuck at 16-1700 for the past year or so, im going to using the lichess database more to refine my openings and see if that can help me improve.

ANY chess opening which follows the basic principles is fine for a beginner. In other words, no Alekhine's defense, Grob, Modern defense, Nimzowitch-Larsen, etc. The bad computer evaluations of these openings is irrelevant. But you still don't want to play them, because they involve more memorization and difficult ideas which are hard to grasp. System-based openings such as the Caro Kann and London are what I would recommend. They involve basic ideas which can be used against almost any response, and less memorization. By far your biggest Elo gains will come from: * Not hanging free pieces and pawns *Learning tactical concepts from puzzles and applying them

2200 rapid player here. The video is well made but there are some issues that must be pointed out. 1. Players should not stick to one style of play all the time. You need to learn to play closed positional games as well as tactical scraps where calculation is important. 2. Opening theory is not that relevant even at my level. I only know the main lines of the openings I play and whenever an opponent plays a sideline, sticking to basic opening principles like quickly developing your pieces and fighting for the centre with pawns goes a long way.

@simpletakes7091 14 күн бұрын

Although the things I shared in the video did help me hit that mark, I’m realizing the importance of tactics and vision as I continue learning. I agree with point number 1. With respect to point 2, most openings will teach and emphasize the points you mentioned while giving players new ideas and concepts that will be hard to learn otherwise. No deep lines but general principles vs certain openings I think is valuable. Thanks for the feedback!

Ok,number 1 thing is I know they didn't find all the utube channels to learn from and or by,number 2 everything your saying is true as of books and all this great grandmasters ,high rated chess players online yes it does help a lot and pick your opening you like and learn from them and its very and more than likely your rating number will go up and even make it as high as levy or maybe it just doesn't work for you and you end up in another dimension and now for number 3 if that's the case what would you say if you could find another place that shows chess and as of a style that he only plays and is no grandmaster,no rating number,just a everyday working guy who really is in his chess but can beat programs up to 2800 with no assisted,no help of any kind but only at randomly times not all the time yet and have fun doing it and slowly,slowly developing your skill of chess through a style and could even mix and match but it's the style,after a while you will see it working all the time in levels from 1800 to 2200 but when going higher from 2300 to 2700 yes you can do it but it starts to be come with a twist or I should say it gets a little hard but the little hard is only 1 to 3 moves to get fixed to set your self back on the track from the danger but some times you can catch it at high levels and you did what you did the same as a 2000 or 2200 and I'm out to show how all low level chess player ,have fun playing chess❤😊
