This is exactly the kind of player you come up against and lose against all the time at this level. Tricksy little hotshots playing for fishing pole tactics, playing moves like Kf8, pushing all their pawns and suffocating you... So nice to see the weaknesses destroyed calmly and logically. THANK YOU

@atwill1999 3 жыл бұрын

While that guy was definitely playing for tricks, moves like Kf8 are pretty common if the rook’s file is open or has the potential to be. It puts your king on a safer square while keeping your rook in the attack

@kbk239 3 жыл бұрын

I hate players that plays like that, but just be calm, you have to see the plan to destroy his weaknesses. Now that I understood that, I can get a good positional play.

Same thing happens in other games too. The mid ranks always has someone who plays irregular but aren’t explicitly bad. They can be punished because they are playing suboptimal, but to punish you have to be a top tier player or just grind tons of games against unorthodox players at that level to get used to it.

I think what the person near the end meant by "at my level there's basically no such thing as theory" is that your opponent most likely will not play the theoretical moves. Only knowing the correct line means you don't necessarily know how to punish suboptimal responses, which is why you would need to understand the ideas behind the opening in order to get an advantage.

@benmeitzen4184 3 жыл бұрын

Well said!

@SeeMyDolphin 3 жыл бұрын

Well, I don't know a lot of theory myself, so maybe I'm off-base here, but I was always under the impression that a lot of openings had 'traps' or responses that you could memorize for when your opponents do play something suboptimal. So in that case, I guess in a way, you'd almost need more memorization at lower levels, as compared to when you can expect your opponent to play theory 95% of the time, if you want to have consistently solid openings.

@WARnTEA 3 жыл бұрын

Yea, I feel like thats where I always stumble with trying to improve my chess. I understand all of the opening principles of taking space, and developing. Most of my games have a trend of my position just gradually getting a higher evaluation with every move, but then I don’t really know how to punish/recognize the bad moves because I will often have multiple missed wins in the midgame, and then nearing the start of endgame I’ll always end up blundering something and throw my lead away, mostly because I’ll try to force something since I struggle at recognizing when the enemy plays a bad move.

@hunterthompson5680 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry but I disagree. Knowing theory means that you understand the main ideas so well that you know how to reply when the opponent makes the most critical, testing response to your opening moves, and that you understand exactly why those moves are challenging, as well as what the associated plans are. This means by the time you have finished the arduous process of abaorbing all of this knowledge, you are well familiar with what aspects of the particular opening you are playing are critical, simply important, or trivial. This gives you the ability to come up with easy plans for piece placement, trades, and pawn breaks when the opponent plays a sub-optimal move that breaks from the theory, because you understand exactly how they gave their advantage away.

@TwenOalley 3 жыл бұрын

@@hunterthompson5680 it sounds like you're describing what he said "which is why you would need to understand the ideas behind the opening in order to get an advantage." James just meant that if you only memorize critical lines it's useless if your opponents don't play them. However, if you understand critical lines, you can get an advantage regardless.

These offbeat players are actually very dangerous and quite successful at lower level. In fact, that is why they exist in the first place! I once encountered a player who only pushed pawns for first 10 moves! It was really weird and hard to deal with. It was also very satisfying to beat him in the end but I was getting rattled by the way he played. This is also the reason why offbeat openings and gambits work so well at 1500 level. I hate to play a gambit personally because it just becomes a crutch.

@dsrguru 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed about bad gambits, but not all gambits are bad! Queen's Gambit, Benko Gambit, main line Two Knights Defense with ...Na5, etc. Kasparov showed that the Evan's Gambit is a totally legit opening as well, but it might be forcing enough that they've analyzed the main lines to a draw by now, not sure.

@manfrom20xx13 3 жыл бұрын

@GMBethHarmon 3 жыл бұрын

Gambits definitely shouldn't be thought in the same terms as low-rating pawn pushers who try to intimidate and hustle you by pushing you out of theory. There are one-trick pony gambits like the Budapest Gambit, where you can end up with a crushing victory if your opponent doesn't know how to respond to the gambit... but if they play reasonably, then it's you who'll end up busted. But there are plenty of very sound gambits you can play - the Queen's Gambit is very solid from a beginner level, right through to Grandmaster and Engine level.

Honestly I think beginners should go watch Ben Finegold's kids lectures. The things he say may sound silly but it's mostly true. For example, he often says that you shouldn't teach beginners ten moves of theory because they're never going to get this kind of positions. Instead much better to teach "whose turn is it?" and "how many legal moves do you have?" Like you'd be surprised how often beginners (and even intermediate players) miscalculate because they forgot whose turn is it or didn't see an alternate legal move. Plus there's advice like "never play f3" that at least stops you from losing horribly...
