This is the first episode of my speedrun where I try to go from 300 to 2000 elo and explain what players do wrong in different elo brackets. I've already played a lot of games on my twitch channel, so if you wanna see more of this type of content be sure to check me out when I'm live! I hope you enjoy the video :)

I am 350 player and anyone 400+ develops properly, castles early, and does these basics well… I keep hearing how 500 players just move random pawns and barely know the rules, and the top chess streamers mock even 800 level chess as total beginners… yet it seems everyone is so much better in real life. At least Anna was surprised by how well he played “for a 400”. Maybe it’s become a lot more competitive recently but to me this is standard 400 level chess. I just don’t think people play as badly as everyone says. Or maybe I’m just much much worse at this game than I think.

I would imagine that if u are lets say 300, you stop playing people, focus on studying + bots, you come back as much better player, it will take time to get to 500. In that time u will be a suprisingly strong 300, 400 etc. Now imagine if you improve to around 1000 from 300. It will take time to reach rank that will represent your skill

Tbh watching chess videos is a good way to improve. I went from a 600 rated player to an 850 rated player just by watching KZfaq videos and implementing ideas.

@richardclark9687 3 күн бұрын

As a "500" rated player (I honestly feel like I have reached that rating on luck more than skill) this is a very educational and shrewd breakdown of the pitfalls players like me find ourselves in. I am constantly trying to be clever and come up with sneaky tactics and end up blundering multiple valuable pieces. This is a sobering reminder to stick to the fundamentals of chess and let the finer points of the game come to me as my skill level advances to the point that I can actually leverage them against strong opponents rather than be run through by my own sword. Thanks, Anna!

@crazybunkum 2 ай бұрын

Hi Anna, that was really instructive thank you. My problem is always wanting to take take take but you have hammered it home here that you should delay tactics until they’re really clear and spend the majority of the opening developing and playing to improve your position. 🙏

@AntonFairfax Жыл бұрын

Honestly i keep hearing how hopeless 400 players are but as a 350 player who is learning, tries to develop properly and do all the stuff the experts teach, it doesn’t stack up. Everyone I play already does all the stuff Anna mentioned here. To me this guy played like every 400 play I’ve played. Maybe good chess players just don’t realise how people play so far below them

@billj4525 Жыл бұрын

@@AntonFairfax They have no consistency at all though. I think if your actually rated 400 it's more likely you're not accurately understanding your own games or the games you're seeing here. This guy definitely played far better than the average 400 player. I mean it's hard to judge from one game, but if all you had was this game to judge you wouldn't assume 400 or anywhere close to it based on this alone. There are more tactical mistake and worse opening moves from 400's than in this game. 400's throw away pieces all the time.

So basically it boils down to promote your minor pieces to control the centre while castling as early as possible and use you rooks to cover any columns that open up? Would love one for 500 elo players
