    Hey @journeytograndmaster I have been using the Chessnut Evo for a while too, and I see you've also discovered how nicely Forward Chess (at least web version) works, but I was wondering why your board wasn't working and realized. You can turn on your "chess visions" button (lower right) while playing forward chess, click on the book move, and it will show you where the move is on the board - I found that way easier.

    My chess game improved so strong from your videos. I am still early (800+ ELO) but after weeks of consuming your videos, I have gained high percentages of good moves in the middlegame..it really changes everything because most people loose in the middle. You're explanation is so clear and good to understand ! Thank you for your work in the chess community ❤

    I kind of disagree with you on learning opening traps, cos it kind of improved me a little bit, cos i learn the reason why somethings are blunders and i easily take advantage of them, and i get ideas on working with squares and avoid opening mistakes due to pressure, on low elos everything mostly gets bad on the openings cos we don't know how to respond to certain things

    • @journeytograndmaster
      @journeytograndmaster 21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Good for you! I would say though that you would have improved much more if you invested the same time in understanding the fundamental chess principles. Again, it's just my opinion, it's okay to disagree.

      @funnypetstube3815 21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @journeytograndmaster of course 8 learnt alot from you actually and i really appreciate your efforts in making your videos free, so i can't actually disagree fully with you cos you're superior obviously, but im just saying the way i learn things is quite different from the majority

    I know these rules but in specific positions it is still very difficult for me to find moves that comply with the rules and do not worsen the position. Even playing with two more pawns can be terribly tiring for me when the opponent does not want to exchange pieces and, for example, there are still queens, a rook, a light piece on the board. If the opponent is careful that I will not force an exchange, then often these two additional pawns are just a problem that must be defended if they are not close to becoming a queen. And another rule complicates the game for me even more, which is: in the endgame, in an advantage, do not exchange pawns, only pieces, so as not to make the game easier for the opponent. My notes: 1. Which pieces you need to trade and which to leave on the board - exchange opponent active pieces for your unactiv pieces 2. King in the endgame is most important 3. Create an imbalance in position 4. Do not hurry 5. You have to play on the part of the board where you are stronger 6. Principle of two weaknesses 7. Optimize all of your pieces 8. Your're not playing alone

    This channel is increasingly becoming my go-to for all things chess improvement - such helpful content! One piece of feedback: the aspect ratio you used in some of your earlier videos, like “Three Chess Principles You Must Know”, (where the board diagram takes up half the screen and the banners are above/below the video of you) are more ideal for folks watching on smaller screens with limited real estate. Cheers!

    • @journeytograndmaster
      @journeytograndmaster 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks a lot for the kind words and the feedback! Making videos with the Chessnut board is what makes it possible for me to produce such videos. So I can't completely get rid of it. I hope you understand But I do my best to increase the size of the digital board. It's already significantly bigger this time and I have another idea how to make it even bigger next time.
