It's true, I like how at about 34:00 he says, "and if he moves this pawn, he actually blunders his queen" and then premoved the capture....an the dude immediately moved the pawn and lost his queen 😅

@@mdoebs5946 and at 40:40 too :D that's hilarious)

Guys will someone please tell me what's the origin of "don't support these guys"? I'm really looking for an answer

​@@EddieCrayMarshmallowyeah it basically went like this, I was getting my morning coffee at Tim Hortons when out of the corner of my eye I saw two young lads trying to cut in line. An older lady hit the blonde one with her purse and said "no cutsies" after which the higher rated one climbed on the back of the blonde who in turn used the, now limp, legs of the higher rated one to sort of slap/push the older lady to the back of the line, all the while screaming from the top of their lungs things like "IS THIS THEORY?". Now I know the old lady was also in the wrong here, but anyway don't support these guys.

@@ColeckZz oh wow that really helps, thank you! Now I know one more crazy story about the brahs. Definitely don't feel like supporting these guys now. Do you know what STARTED all the stories though?

@@EddieCrayMarshmallow Glad to be of service man, and if I recall that was some one-sided beef from an old moderator who was disgruntled about something or another and made up some crazy shit to try and smear their rep. The real story never stuck with me as it's not half as funny as the meme

Everyone talked as though gm’s were all prodigies who could calculate 20-30 moves ahead… which isn’t true. And thanks to KZfaq and watching them think through their process, we see that it’s more like 5 moves if the position has multiple lines of equal value, and around 10-15 moves if it’s toward the endgame with fewer pieces and only one or two lines for both that makes sense. We’ve seen and heard lots of gms talk nowadays to know they are a highly specialized player and the top players are best at pattern recognition, recall, and creating similar motifs to the ones they know already. If you take a person of average intelligence but who has high determination and motivation, and start them learning chess between the ages of 5-8, get them to read, play, learn, and analyze chess everyday… then they would become a gm. The less innately intelligent, the more one needs determination and the motivation to persevere. So, if you’re a younger player who wants to be a gm, you can be. But it has to take centre stage over everything else… gl

If that was true than we'll be having a rain of GM's. The combination of an amazing memory, the ability to access it on command, the intelligence to know and prioritize which lines to calculate and then go deep is very rare IMO. Don't forget the "GM effect". Their moves look logical and obvious, and you understand why their decisions and it seems easy, but then you play alone and realize that even 1800 elo players are amazingly strong. So no, many people will try but you need to be born with the apptitude for it, sometimes hard work won't get you there, IMO.

Seriously! How is it that everytime he plays as black, the opponent never pushes their e pawn? I feel like he is omitting these instances because the stonewall crumbles

The exchange is boring and so is the stonewall

@@ethangilworth7891 hot take there buddy

@@ColeckZz not realy bro. the stonewall is boring.. its a 'stonewall' defence. doesnt mean you cant play it and win with it but its a boring opening. all g homie

​@@aidanklassen1572Poople play boring openings usually to avoid theory and to get spicy middle games. But when some poople, especially with white, just exchange pieces til some dull king endgame then you can call them boring pieces of shoot.

I would love to see a caro speed run!!

It's exactly the same result, so it doesn't matter.

@@Xialo_Universe_Art Thanks!

I was looking for this comment. Yes, it looks like mate in 1 to me. EDIT: He acknowledged it after the game: "Mate in one, look for better".

If you don’t mind being 600 that’s perfectly fine. If you want to go up in rating, try these things: 1. Play in longer time formats. It allows you to really calculate moves and makes it easier to remember them. 2. Learn to avoid the Stonewall if you simply can’t get an ideal structure. If after 1.d4 d5 2.e3 they play Bishop f5 preventing your Bishop from going d3 without being taken, it might be better to go c4 and Qb3 in the future. Key thing is that their early Bishop move leaves the b7 pawn a little weak and it often becomes a target. 3. Learn the attacking ideas in the Stonewall after the setup. For instance you might want to lift your rook to f3 or push your pawn to g4 g5, to force their Knight away from the defence of the h7 square. Sets up a nice greek gift. That’s just one example, the best way is to find an avid Stonewall player (Yaacov Notowitz) and look up how they play the Stonewall. You can really see what moves they run into and how they respond. 4. Try puzzles. It’s not for everyone, but if puzzles if for you I recommend ignoring the clock and just calculating until you find the right moves. Simply improves your calculation strength and you may recognize these patterns in your own games. This has gotten me above 1400, which isn’t anything to boast about but I’m happy with it.

for black or white? for me black seems to be quite easy, opens the king too much. but white is solid. but then again im rated 1200 so yeah

@@ZebecZT for both. Yeah at 1200 if you dont hang any pieces you win so its not the same.

For me my story begins in grade 8. I was at the grocery store in the produce section with my grandma when Eric threw two apples at my head. Plunking me with each and I was knocked flat onto the ground. He yelled out "how bout them apples?" as I was holding my head, I slowly staggered up and GM Aman busts out of the onion display with a bag full of oranges and thunderously smashes me in the midsection and as I'm laying there crying my eyes out I hear him whisper "how bout them oranges?". Don't support these guys.
