Counting & Undefended Pieces | Climbing the Rating Ladder vs. freddi88 (1368)

- In this continuation of the "Climbing the Rating Ladder" series I take on players of various ratings levels while pointing out typical mistakes and spots for improvement along the way (possibly my own!? :)). Here I commentate a 5+5 game against a player rated 1368 on Chess.com. My opponent keeps the central tension against the French Defense (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5) and establishes a slight space advantage. However, with 10.d5? White miscounts the number of attackers and defenders. #Chess #ChessInstruction #ClimbingTheRatingLadder

John, you're working wonders for lower rated players with these lessons, even if it means sacrificing a few of them over the board ;)
LOL

I've done this before too. xD One does not simply miss that intro!
Played a pretty nice game against a strong IM, only to randomly drop his bishop :(
Should have sac'd the queen on h7 instead
5 minute game hard to blame him
he was using the machine vs john
Love your videos and how you explain your thought process as you play. Thank you!
I watched this live yesterday evening. I thought white played quite well for his rating.
Thanks for following my games :)
John Bartholomew My pleasure sir and thank you for sharing and all you do for chess!
As someone who never has a chance to catch John live streaming on twitch, every time I get the alert that another “climbing the rating ladder” has dropped, I take a second to pray to the chess Gods... “please let this be a long upload with multiple games...” ;) Alas, I open TH-cam and the bitter sweet realization sets in, as I’m stoked at seeing a new game, but always left wanting more... Seinfeld would be proud.
I was screaming after Bf4 "play Qd4 John play Qd4" and I was glad the computer showed me I was right
I'd love to see more videos about the French defense! It's one of my main openings! :)
This video was GREAT. Very instructive. Love how deep you went on the analysis with this one. Thanks.
Do you guys also sometimes get this feeling like John is one of your friends, even though you never met?
Watching these videos every day for a extended period of time really make you feel like you somehow 'know' him.
i have similar relationships with 2d girls
I have no idea what you guys are talking about.. This is not the forum for it
@@thecityofjoy I am merely stating that watching a lot of content by the same person can play this trick on your mind. It's the same with binge watching a TV series, you somehow feel connected to the characters. It's a _comment_ on how this video makes me feel. How is the _comment_ section of this video not the right forum for it? Also, this is a public space... why do you feel like you are entitled to tell others what does and does not belong here?
AlexMorgenthau i agree and same with when I watch Faze Censor on youtube
AlexMorgenthau I don't need to know your feelings... It's fine if you have them.. Just not the place to show it.. Focus on the chess... Go dating website for feelings
I love how John always does The Rocks 'people's eyebrow' every time he says his opponents name in the introduction to this series... I always chuckle.

This observation got a LOL out of me. It’s true!
It's amazing though, how alpha zero refuses to play the french defence at all after only a few hours of self training. And here we are stuck not knowing how to really crush it like alpha does, so we continue to play it...
There are a ton of openings that Alpha Zero doesn't play, doesn't mean they're not good.
I have played with this opponent from which this IM is playing.
He played pretty well for his rating. He developed his pieces efficiently, got castled, and didn't drop any material for a while.
Played well for his rating? He’s a 1370 and completely disregarded his bishop on move 22 like he was an 800.
@piggypigpig Well a lot of 1300's make a lot of unnecessary pawn moves in the opening, delay castling and/or create some kind of weakness in their position before move 10. This guy at least followed good opening principles. Sure he dropped a pawn but it's possible that he sacrificed it on purpose and just overestimated his chances with Qh5.
@@nickjohnson8495 No one is immune from blunders. Everyone hangs pieces from time to time, especially in blitz. I've even seen GMs hang Queens and Rooks for nothing in the Pro Chess League and those were rapid games.
@piggypigpig id like to see you play an IM and see if your queen is still on the board on move 10
piggypigpig LOL... See the beard?? John is the big bad wolf 🐺.. 😁
His opening game was solid...:)
I am super stoked that you have started uploading all the time, it's awesome to have it come up in my recommended and instead of watching random fail compilations or whatever I can actually learn something. Best chess teacher there is!
These games are way better learning videos that Chessbrahs and Nakamura's series. I enjoyed the series in the past, glad to see you do it again.
Interesting game. Your opponent played well considering he was about half your rating.
Rewatching this as a french player . Very helpful 🙏
Good morning from the UK!
I'd love to play against your french!
At 8:04, isn't Qd4 for black a bit more forcing? It makes white's previous bishop "development" useless, and if he doesn't want to lose a very important pawn on b2, the bishop must return. I think it's better to give up the pawn, but then it's game over, especially with like-colored bishops. These kind of forks should always be on our radar. Then again, it's easier to see when you're not playing!
20:26
@@JohnBartholomewChess Fair enough. I guess I was writing before finishing the video! Cheers
15:50 Ne5... John's also out of played moves
Thanks for the new video John, it is instructive. I have been following you for 2 weeks and liked the channel very much.
Btw i wonder whether you have Portuguese roots, because of your surname?
That surname is not portuguese at all, what are you talkin about
John, I'm curious. Did you think about 18... Qd4. ? Looked good to me but I probably missed something.
He talks about that move in the video. Around 20:25. As the video indicates, it's a cleaner line, and the stockfish line.
I love these videos, the lower rated opponent the better!
What is the sacrifice he mentioned at 2:20?
The Greek gift - John explains it after the game, it's where you take the pawn on h7 with a bishop sacrifice, and then follow it up with bringing your knight in with check and then your queen. Here's an intro level video on the greek gift: th-cam.com/video/LY928SzKRhQ/w-d-xo.html
Are you not watching the NBA Finals???
Playing low rated players? Nah, I'm good.
Why dont you play against opponents with the same strenght? There is nothing fun playing against 1300 when you are 2000+.
The clue is in the title and for me these videos are the most helpful on yt
the idea I think is to show viewers how to capitalise on the mistakes they'll encounter in most of their games.
Idiot
It’s an instructive series mate
He does play stronger players in other videos like the titled championship from a few days ago.
It's just that these kind of videos are more tutorial material.
