Yep, I noticed it too. Looks like the best move there….
thanks a lot.
thats annoying given all your chances! thanks for the vid.
how was the social the other week? couldnt make it unfortunately.
Thanks a lot. Only when concentrated well and think you can make a proper a move. On time pressure it can be problematic.
Excellent video Crusher! I read once that the time for the biggest mistakes is often just after one avoids a pressing attack, or plays through a sequence of solid moves maintaining equality or gaining a slight advantage. Kind of like breathing a sigh of relief, and then all of a sudden totaly making a mistake throwing it away. I am focusing a lot on keeping that in mind lately. This video reminded me yet again of that. Keep up the great work!
Great video wat openings would you recommend for someone who enjoys extremely wild and open game? many thanks
Boy, I bet that you were madder than hell after you lost that.
I surely would have been
ESPECIALLY when it's against a higher rated opponent and you have a chance to move up.
Well, I tried to learn a lesson from this game, which helped me win some games I think in Week 2 of the Championship. As long as you can try and learn something from your games, its all a positive experience in the long run.
If you like a wild and open game, then you obviously need to open up lines – so maybe gambits would be suitable for you, or positions which are very sharp in nature – i.e. 1.e4 in general and finding sharp variations in each of black's defences.
Yes complacency is a dangerous thing to have. But also I should have emphasised perhaps that it was approaching the 1st time control at move 40, and so that kind of panic set in as well. Also this game also illustrates not playing "simple chess" – i.e. rook on the 7th, and hoping the strategic benefits outweigh even losing some material.
Quite. Even our wins are not often played that accurately – especially now with engines it is possible to dismantle even GM games to find plenty of mistakes. We are all tourists in the game.
Yes, and it got me very excited to win a pawn, and be able to get a rook to the 7th. Except then I didn't support the rook, like a dummie! I was too worried about losing a pawn in the Qg4+ line.
Well, I wouldn't aim to play "defensive" – I would instead aim to play for a dynamically imbalanced position, to give you at least the opportunity of counterplay. If you aim to play defensively you could end up losing a lot of games with black.
Maybe try finding your favourite GM in the Fide top 10 list, and try and model their opening repertoire.
The social was quite good – it livened up after about 1.00 especially. There was a super strong 4 way 5 minute tournament between Fatandmad, The Cypriot, and Paul Georghiou, which I am pleased to report I was leading when we ended play 🙂
Hmmm.. I think the mazes of chess are sometimes too complex, and often it is better to steer for "simple chess", especially when the 1st time control approaches – i.e. moves with strategic benefits, which you can enjoy later, rather than always trying to calculate everything, and ensuring not losing material. If you lose material, but gain strategic benefits – in this game, the rook on the 7th, then often that is the best winning path.
No, but I messed up on the 1st upload of one of them yesterday, and had to reupload.
very good video! im a fan of your vids. ive got just one request. could you explain with a video the differences between positional and tactical games? keep on making vids.
man.. a tactical game is a game full of tactics. Tactics are combinations of moves that enable you to gain material or mate ie: give you an advantage. For example at 3:10 when KC wins the pawn he is playing tactically. Tactics are usually short term combinations even though some can be quite deep.
Positional play has a slower pace. Positional play is stategic. For example Karpov likes to squeaze and "sufficate" his adversaries by reducing their freedom of moves. You play positional with a long term idea. Eg: a queen side push. Good positional play will give good tactical opportunities. So you must learn to ally both.
Sure…. But I'd be replaying that one in my head for awhile. congratulations on the later games.
But you know the old adage…..
The winner of the game is the player that makes the 2nd to the last mistake.
thanks for explaining carabin33fr, but i would like kingscrusher to do it in a vid! no offense, its just I wanna see a game where both ways of playing are shown.
Man, nearly brought a tear to the eye seeing how that went from triumphant to dire for you in a few short moves. Condolences.
Qh6 would have been a wrap… that should have been the only variation lol
What was wrong with Qh6 after Rh7??
You had an attack, but no forced win. Your knights were trapped. Of course you shouldn't have given up the h file.
