Day 59: Playing Chess Everyday Until 2500 ELO!
This is day 59 of me playing chess everyday until I reach the rapid rating of 2500 ELO!
Today I was having the black pieces and my opponent opened the game with pawn to e4. I quickly responded with pawn to c6 and we entered the very solid Caro-Kann defense.
The position was balanced and equal out of the opening, but I was attacking him on the queen side and trying my best not to get checkmated on the king side.
Make sure to watch the video until the end to see if I managed to win day 59 game!

i just stumbled on your video keep going
Thanks, your support means a lot :)
I need to file a lawsuit against your opponent. Playing a strong game and achieving a crushing position only to blunder it away in one move is my trademark.
Hahaha, I think I am good at this as well :)
Keep going brother
Thanks, man! Your support keeps me hyped to keep creating :)
Hey brother , good game , i play the caro myself and i think in the exchange variation it is pleasent for black to eliminate whites dark squared bishop to prevent the anoying pressure it puts on the dark squares on the queen side because usually you want your rooks on b8 and c8
That's true, I like playing against Exchange Caro as well!
why are you stuck on the more or less same elo for 2 monthes? Can u explain?
Great question! Part of my energy goes to speaking out loud my thought process and also, I was sick a lot... But don't worry I will break this plateau as quickly as I possible can :)
Bro how to learn openings
Very good question! Find openings you enjoy to play, watch some videos or learn the theory yourself. Once you do that play as many games as you can using that one opening!
I thought opponent could be sus, but he just played well I think Any reason you can't take breaks from playing while you're this sick?
My opponent played very well, I agree with you and I don't think he was cheating! Also I try to play every single day, but yes yesterday I was to sick to make content. But don't worry today I am uploading my next game :)
Good luck
Thanks!
Get well soon.
Thanks!
Get well soon!
Thanks!
it is always better to not accept gambits if you do not know the line traps, however the game is suspected not clean from your opponent
Yeah, accepting gambits can be very risky... My opponent played well, but I don't thinl he was cheating :)
Love your games Zan!!
Thanks, it means a lot!
so nice to find that move, i saw some other forks but realized they wouldnt work :D
Yeah, Rc2 is indeed an amazing move. Other forks probably don't work but still :)
19:20 I think everyone makes this type of oversight from time to time where you just assume based on the norm that knight is on F6 there. I've definitely done that several times, it happens
It is one of the most common mistake I would say, but I should have known it better :)
love the content Forky please keep it coming (not that you're thinking of stopping lol but still).
Thanks! I am definately not thinking about stopping :)
GG! Great move finding that fork… trading so much for a queen is never good plus leaving u with 2 knights and then walking in his king it gives room for fork tactic and you found it !!! 🎉
Thanks! It was a really nice game agreed :)
Awesome knight fork Forky! Grandmaster move right there.
Yeah, it is pretty beautiful tactic isn't it :)
Lep pozdrav :)
Pozdravljen!
TEETH ARE STILL YELLOW BRO
bro at least he's good at chess :)
@@xdream5175 bro hes 2000
@jov5300 Go get pinned, and royally FORK'D
Hi, I am kind of interested in chess too but i'm stuck between 900-1000, i don't really know a lot of openings, endgames and i make mistakes. Can you give any suggestions to me to improve maybe, like how do i study chess and stuff like that
Hi, for your level it is very important to solve a large ammount of chess puzzles! It will increas your tactical vision and secure you much higher winning chances :)
@@forky_chess Thanks for your advice and btw keep up the good work mate. You are pretty underrated. Love your content <3
Eager to watch your progress
Thanks! Yeah the progress is quite big isn't it?
Great game buddy. It would have been the biggest comeback if you'd won with two back rank rooks
Thanks! Winning was never an option, but I was close to a draw at one moment...
Love this format with expanded review.. Whats your tip for my improvement.. I love fast chess so i play 5min games but am kinda stuck around 850 as i havent done much theory work, not a fan of chess books though :) i guess longer format to take more time in openings makes sense, am preety good (debatable:) at adapting in midgame i guess
Thanks for the feedback! About your improvements, I would suggest you to solve as many puzzles as you can (improving tactical vision) and maybe studying some crucial opening ideas + basic endgames principles! Let me know how you are doing in the near future :)
@@forky_chess Hvala ! on it !!!
35.44: "Even Nf6 is kind of weird allowing e5, but e5 is not really good." But why would you say that?. I consider 6.e5 to be the best move...or at least 6.a3 and then 7.e5. I was wondering why you didn´t play these moves since both of these moves come with tempo, which is crucial in this playing style, I believe. I was also surprised you played dxc5. I would have thougt that´s a no-go. I think there´s the "pawns only take pawns towards the center"-thump-rule in these tactics especially when it comes to Black´s expected c5 flanking attack. Interesting game, nonetheless. Your opponent reminded me of how my late 90´s chess-computer would try to play against me on its highest level. Except, of course ...my chess computer would always lose. Lol.
Thanks for your extensive feedback! Playing e5, when your bishop is on f4 already seems kind of weird for me, because I can't push pawn to f4 and f5. Also playing a3, just bishop takes knight and some pawn storm will about to happen, opening your king. For taking c5 I have no excuse, I thought it was a free pawn, but I completely missed Qa5 fork. Even if I would be able to defend c5 pawn, taking on c5 is always a bit tricky opening the c-file! Thanks for your commentary, it means a lot to me :)
Keep your head up. It wasn't your best game but 97% accuracy does look suspicious. Some streamers will look at the person's history. If nothing indicates that he regularly plays with that much accuracy then you should go Kramnik all over his account.
Thanks, your support means a lot! I reported him and his account got banned, so he did in fact cheat!
Can I make catchy thumbnails for you!?
I appreciate your offer! Catchy thumbnails can really make a difference, and I'm always open to creative ideas here: skube.zan@gmail.com
Nice video 😊
Thanks :)
how do i get better at doing accurate calculations
puzzles help
Solving puzzles and playing a lot of rapid games :)
14:44 I was considering knight g6 to f4 . Winning the knight you so wanted, what do u think about it?
That's probably the best plan in the position. Great job finding this sequence :)
You cannot take of the "their" pawns, is what you were looking for. Nice video.
Thanks, but I don't understand what exactly are trying to say ;)
Sheesh! An hour long video from Forky. This is gonna be the best dinner of my life.
lol :)
Heyy! This is my first time on your channel and your content is really really amazing. You earned a new subscriber❤❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the content. Welcome to the channel :)
That was smooth GG
Thanks! Yes it was a nice and smooth game indeed :)
Quick victory- very nice
Thanks, yeah it was very quick win indeed :)
Mas novga fana :)
Jej :)
Playing every day has caused my rating to drop by over 100 points
lol :)
great video man
Thanks man :)
Your 2nd move is innacuracy dawgg
It's true, but now I know what to play against this tricky opening :)
Every thumbnail on this channel: 😮
Almost, yeah :)
What are your #1 Fav openings for each color if you were FORCED to choose ? (as hard as it's, lol). Mine are: White: London Black: Caro Kann and the WONDERFUL KAN SICILIAN (simply a coincidence that it's two "Kans" 😂😂😂😂😂😂). They are both effective and of course SOLID, which is what both of those are best known for. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well firstly thanks for your long comment😂 I love the Caro-Kann with the black pieces and I enjoy playing the Ruy Lopez with the white pieces, so these are my TOP 2 openings!
make videos about learning chess for low elo players like 500-600
Thanks for the suggestion. I already have made some of the videos about chess openings and I will continue to expand my video library :)
I like your background music a lot; it's quite fitting for chess.
Thanks! I like it too :)
I hope that will successful
Thanks so much :)
Brush ur teeth they yellow
Thrills and spills with Forky Chess! When your opponent only had 17 seconds left, how come he suddenly had more than 17 seconds in his next move?
Well we both get 10 seconds increment every single move, so if you make a move with 17 seconds then you will have 27 seconds for your next move basically :)
@@forky_chess Aha thanks for explaining. I'm playing Blitz games of 10 minutes each player and I've not noticed these 10 seconds increments, maybe they don't apply to this category of game. I've run out of time on several occasions on the brink of winning, it's very frustrating!
@@Fitness4Londoni feel you mate. It surely is frustrating😤
34:24 the fuck was Qxg2? xD
True, that move was very bad, but I guess he was afraid of some checkmate attack :)
Close game Forky!
It really was a nail-biter! Forky always brings the excitement :)
Bruh brush your teeth
i am watching your video from day one and i was at 900 and now i am at 1202 with 14 win streak my calculation has increase drastically thanks and your English has also improved😆
WOW! Your streak is just amazing KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and also I am glad you find my English improving :)
Nice game so far. I like your thought process, man. I enjoy in general the straightforwardness of your thought process explanations. Keep it up. From your games that I have seen, it does seem like you always have very good positions out of the opening, and then blunder sometimes later on; that's my observation.
Thanks man! Yeah I think your observation is completely true and correct! My opening are decent for my level, but I do blunder sometime and that's what I am trying to improve :)
