That last game was so instructive! I think I learned more during that one game than any other in the series! 1. the purpose of the Vienna game is to use the rook on the open f-file. 2. The purpose of the Vienna gambit is to force the f6 knight to undevelop. 3. checking the uncastled king ended up forcing a move which required the king as a defender, so that if he castles he loses a piece. 4. line up a battery before the king castles so there's a checkmate threat, requiring more defenders or preventing the opponent from taking any sort of initiative. Really great instruction on that one!!

I've only been seriously learning about chess for 1 month, such as opening theories, basic principals, how to checkmate, things like that. I'm currently at 300 elo. Your channel has been helping a lot. I love your style and energy but obviously I'm probably not ready for your class yet. The main reason I'm losing games right now is I'm still blundering a lot of pieces (I lost my queen to a pawn the other day). I'm also sometimes not sure exactly what to do so I make a random move. Learning is a lot of fun tho!
@ViolentRetributionАй бұрын
I don't think anyone needs to pay for a chess educational course these days, especially if they're below 1500. There's a massive amount of free educational resources out there, especially geared toward that skill level. The market is both saturated and highly competitive. Anyway, good luck on your chess journey!
@ChessVibesOfficialАй бұрын
Module 6 of the course deals entirely with not blundering and details my 4 step process to minimize them! I don't think you're too low for it, you just might have to re-watch a few of the lessons for them to click. Good luck either way!

50:35 I think there was M3 there, Bd3+ forces Ke1, then Rg1+ forces Rf1, Rxf1#, all of this supported by the fact that the knight protects the rook on d2. Obviously the position was totally winning for black either way but usually you see stuff I don't so it feels nice to notice something you missed for once :)

At 26:30, you move the knight back: but it’s a discovered attack on the rook with the bishop, so you should have moved the knight to instead attack the other rook - thus forcing some rook for knight trade!

33:04 Busch Gass gambit theory here. Yes, Nf6 is a line. But instead of castling to protect f7 you play an insane looking move Nc6 after they take on e5. It turns into something similar to Traxler but with a lot more tricks. Unlike Traxler, taking on f7 with bishop doesn’t avoid dangerous lines and white might still dies within 5 moves. And if white takes f7 with knight you have a super Traxler without your own e pawn blocking your queen vision. Of course, stockfish will hate you for playing this line but I’ve seen 2000s lose in this lines countless times.

Cool to see the last game as I usually play the Vienna as white! I wish more players in the 600-1000 range would play d5 like you mentioned, I need more practice with that response but only like 2% of players play it against me. Like 50-60% of folks take on c4 instead and it's basically game over at that point.

52:40 another way to deal with the queen coming down is to play bishop c4. Yes if the queen comes down you have to move the king but you're now able to move the king to the safe square where the bishop departed from. Then you can gain various tempos on the queen and are able to get quick development at the cost of not being able to castle. You most likely will be able to castle easily by hand with a spare 3 moves which is quite likely once all your pieces are out and your opponent is spending time developing. There are various tactics for you if you decide to do this but if the opponent plays well, it ends up being a dynamic and interesting position where both sides are pretty equal. Usually if the opponent is busy trying to attack your king aggressively instead of finding the best long term position of their pieces you will find that they will blunder or get into a bad position but at the same time you do have to play the right moves when they get aggressive. If you do, you'll be winning.

I understand talking through the moves, but in a situation like 36:41 it'd be better to just take the piece a bit quicker, and explain the blunder after you take. It's a bit more respectful to the opponent, and when the right answer is THAT obvious it doesn't require a whole lot of explanation anyway.

Nelson, using your game against Surfdog as an example, after the game ends, AverageJoe's rating increased from 666 to 674, and Surfdog's rating decreased from 687 to 679. But of course, AverageJoe isn't a player with a rating in the 600's, since you are much higher rated. Does this matter to the rating system? Is it (in any manner) unfair to Surfdog and his rating? Just asking for some explanation.

If you want to make sure that opponent takes e5 in the Busch-Gass, play Nf6 before Bc5. Lower-rated players (whom this episode is aimed at) that do not bring the knight out, expose themselves to all kinds of ugliness when the knight sacs on f7, and the white queen comes out followed by the two bishops. This is not rocket surgery stuff beyond the imagination of a low-rated opponent. A quick forced mate becomes extremely likely. Bc5 is also loss of a tempo as the bishop doesn't have anything useful to do yet, and can be caught out by d4. But these low-rated games are more instructive to the average player who could practice faithfully for eight hours a day and never cross 1500. We just want to learn to play solid chess without stupid blunders.
