Man I am in love with this video. I’ve been playing chess since I was 10, I’m 25 now. I’m fallling back in love with the game again. I’ve came to a stalemate and an awkward stage at this point because I never developed my game after the opening. And it was super frustrating because I wanted to get better and better develop my game. I finally stopped being stubborn and ended up going to KZfaq and man am I in awe. Much love from Chicago my man

One thing I'd like to add about pawn storms is that there often isn't enough time to storm with multiple pawns, often it's better to just storm the h or the g pawn alone and sacing it for open files / diagonals

@MortalMauler 6 ай бұрын

Always scan the board for vulnerabilities, watch out for pins, look for forks and pins yourself, and try to push pawns to promote, pushing pawns always puts pressure on your opponent and forces them to focus on blocking the pawn.

Found this really useful. The tips "break open the centre" and "eliminate dangers" are incredibly useful. The trade off thing is also good. For filling the "what the hell do I do now?....its a good thing for us average players to focus on. The "battery" thing is what Napoleon would have called "concentrated force at the decisive point. On a 12 game winning streak online. Partly with the help of this channel. Was a TERRIBLE player for a long time.
