Don’t feel bad about it 1500 is around beginner level in terms of playing chess without making obvious blunders, take out the obvious blunders and learn some basic tactics and you can definitely get to 1500 without much work if you enjoy playing, if you’re casual and play shorter time controls 800 to 1500 isn’t much work just by playing 10/15 minute games and really letting the clock bleed on every move

At 7:12, I think you could have taken the dark-square bishop with your rook. This would defuse the tactic where their bishop was laser-beaming through your e-pawn, and would end up just being a trade of a bishop and rook from each of you.
@aleksherstyuk83192 жыл бұрын
That still loses a piece though, since white rook takes black bishop with tempo on the queen, and then after the recapture queen takes rook, the pawn just takes the rook on c3. He had a way out completely (where he's only down one pawn) by actually taking the rook with the queen (which he thought loses), and when bishop takes, queen f8. Best white can do is a forced queen trade and winning back the exchange, only being up a pawn with both players having a rook and a bishop left. So if white doesn't know endgames well, that might as well be a toss up

@aleksherstyuk83192 жыл бұрын
@@Moley1Moleo no your move is definitely a lot better than resigning! It really requires a "counter-tactic" to beat. Idk whether to call it a desparado, a tempo gaining move, danger levels, or whatever, but he has to see rook takes bishop. So if white recaptures your rook with the pawn (after all, he's getting a rook for a bishop right??) thinking he just went up a further exchange, then hey, what you said works! Below a certain rating, a big issue is people forgetting what's been hanging or not hanging in a long sequence of tactical moves, so realistically, theres a big chance he forgets your queen can take the rook, and then the idea works great! What's your rating? (I'm around 1700-1800). The fact that you saw the idea behind rook takes bishop, but missed certain concrete calculations, makes me think it's around NL's, but you'd benefit from doing a shear large number of short little tactics (like chesstempo or something), focusing on speed and accuracy, cause that's how I actually built my automatic scanning mechanisms for moves like these. Honestly, that and a few good openings are all you need to beat almost everyone below like, 1300 or something

The point of puzzles is to practice pattern recognition. Its to recognize the themes of puzzles. To notice similar concepts in your real games.

E.g spotting and setting up for attacks, protecting vulnerable pieces, that sort of stuff.

6:55 in the first game NL can just take the rook, and defend with Qf8. Idk why he didnt see it, he sort of took his time on that move. And he didnt even bother reviewing the game up to that point! He would have seen a sweet forced maneuver that overall, only leaves him down a SINGLE pawn in an endgame (...Qxd6. Bxe5 Qf8, Qxf8 Kxf8, Bxc7 Rxc7). Who knows, if NL is better at endgames, that could even be a win
@aleksherstyuk83192 жыл бұрын
The only problem is after Bxf7 Kxf7, then it's possible that Qxh7 ideas win for white. But white would have to make that weird extra Bxf7 sacrifice once the queen is deflected, and if he was tunneled on Bxe5, then white throws almost all of his advantage away. So still, taking the rook gives the best chances

Still down a piece. He probably should have taken the rook, and when bishop takes pawn, THEN Qf8! Which liquidates into a bishop and rook endgame, only down a pawn. Problem is after Queen takes rook, best is probably the in-between moves Bxf7, Kxf7, and Qxh7 (or Bxe5 before Qxh7), but white is down quite a bit of material and has to find a mate with his 3 remaining pieces
