Respect for posting it even though you lost. You were doing well early and mid-game. But you lost focus later on when you had opportunities to finish the game. I can relate to that.
Of course, I do not win all the time and losing is part of the journey. Yeah, the openings tend to be alright. But as soon as the mid-game or end-game surprised me, I tend to make irrational moves which usually result in blunders.. :')
@@yorrinvdg You know your stuff though. I am currently 675 in Rapid and you already know more than me I think. So if you can work on less blundering you can definitely reach 1500 by playing on a consistent basis.
I think you have the potential to become a high rated player after seeing your moves, it has nice ideas. Things i will say is that try to think what does the opponent wants, e.g. to move a piece into a comfortable square that carries out an attack, you should counter their plan by playing moves that could prevent it, making them uncomfortable, and hard to play. Also try not to attack a piece without thinking where they are going to move next, but attack their piece in order to make them move to a worse square.
Good one! In the heat of the moments I tend to get stuck in some methodology mindset where I play moves that I've read or seen videos about and (of course, unwillingly) forget to either take down the opponent its plans or better my overall position. Thank you for your take here, I appreciate it!
from a person that played in 2 state championships and got obliterated, i know the feeling, dont feel like you are a disappointment or are bad at chess because you made a blunder or played bad, theres always next game, and you gotta face each game with your head up high and confidence.
Thanks! And yeah, I was just not in the right mood at that moment and had to play to post some content. This resulted in playing moves I normally do not play, taking risks I did not asses well and “just played to play something”. This weekend spending time on refining the craft! 😁
i'm sure you spotted this in your game review after the recording, but you had mate on move 18 with Qf5. never give up bro! chess is hard, but not impossible!
(i wrote a really long comment and it automatically disappeared for some reason so here is a water down version of all that i wrote compressed to 30% size of the actual comment ) It seems you have taken my advice to learn openings , tho be careful to not misunderstand me and reduce chess to learning theory , as chess is art and not something thats a memory game , not saying to not learn opening just making myself clear . Now coming to your games , the opponent tried to "fried liver" you and he could be destroyed with a pawn move but the move you played was better and i love the creativity but you failed to follow through since at one moment u had qf3 winning the game since king has 2 squares one is m1 and other loses the queen and you played it but failed the follow up(9:15 - qf7 king h6 knight e6 wins the queen from discovered check )Tho dont take this game negatively since chess is one of those games that req a LOT of grinding to get good , i started 3 years ago and now over the board i am able to beat 1500s but it took me 3 years , i lost countless games . one of the things u lack rn is killer instinct that most players at 1500 lvl have , that is only achievable by playing a LOT of games and solving a LOT of puzzles ( i have done 12k puzzles overall in lichess by now which pales in comparison to serious chess players i know ) but you are starting to develop chess instinct which is a great news
I did fail to follow though. I m/was stuck with a mindset of following rules I've either read or seen online. This negatively impacts the ''natural moves'' I could play, for instance the queen move.. I prerecorded a lot of videos and found out that I need to change my psych and do more puzzles on end-games, checkmates, and improvement of moves to help me better up. :)) Thanks for your take!
Wow. Really saved a defeat from the jaws of victory. You blundered your queen twice in row - at the first time he didn't see that checking with the knight wins your queen but then you offered a royal fork. That's why I keep on saying that whenever you have opportunity to trade while leading in material - just trade and simplify. Traded queens cannot be blundered. The only reason not to trade is that you have a solid plan how to check mate or win more material. You also had opportunity to trap his bishop but whatever... How about doing those blunder checks before moves? I think I have suggested doing that before.
I think you focus way to much on common patterns/openings, at least from how you talk in your games, you mention gambits and names for everything and instead of actually looking at your current board it feels like you try to remember something you have seen or heard, I think you should focus WAY less on following something and just play natural moves, with each move only look for the usual check-capture-attack, this way you learn to see the board, which is FAR more important than learning a system at your rating and will really help you a lot when you actually need to learn some theory later on.
I receive mixed messages about this. People say I need to get a system to apply almost every game and others say, like you, to play natural moves. I am going to study and find a healthy combination of both. I am a beginner, so I can blame that for now, haha.
@@yorrinvdg yes, there is probably not a single answer to this, just a heads up that even if you decide to learn a few openings you can still keep this mindset as your main prio for every move while still having a plan. Most important is still just to have fun and play a lot of games whatever way you approach it.
I'm going to have to believe I might start a losing streak...
@9:26 queen to f7 check wins the game on spot
You should have seen my face when I spotted this in editing 🥲
16:00 there is some queen move?
when i see it right...
queen f3 to f5
I never saw that one, not even during editing/evaluating! Good spot!!
At 15.20 you had a mate in 1, queen to f5. You do have some good thinking, respect the grind. I am at 1444 elo, still pushing for 1500 myself

15:25 Qf5# is mate in one. opponent moved queen to block only square not covered. It happens.
Yeah, got load of comments and saw it during the evaluation of the game and got a hurtful reminder during editing, haha.

@@yorrinvdg if you'd like, i could coach you (for free, i dont like people that charge stuff for education)
i'm sure you spotted this in your game review after the recording, but you had mate on move 18 with Qf5.
never give up bro! chess is hard, but not impossible!
I laughed during editing (I review my games in Chess.com and during editing) that I missed this 😂 silly

DONT... over-think...(over-cook your head became bad moves...)
relax... make simple moves
Yeah, that is something I need to work on, to not overthink. 😂
Whenever you are ahead trade your pieces Hikaru said. So trading your Queen off would’ve been a really good and easy move.
Agreed, I will take this into account for the next time I am recording/playing!

Yup… not my proudest games are coming up (I prerecorded a lot of videos). I just wasn’t in the right mood to play, unfortunately.
i believe in you bro
Thank you brother!
