Love this new series. Very instructive and educational. Would be interested to see the thought process behind higher rated club players. Thanks for the high quality video.
wow, this has been a huge eye-opener for me. I'm an intermediate player (~1400) and this video has given me the confidence to evaluate positions concretely and risk being wrong! Thank you!
This is insane, highest quality of chess content. You were a hero two years ago, you are a legend now, Andras. I hear your voice in my head while I play chess hammering those statements into my mind. I can't thank you enough.
Just discovered this guy's channel, though I purchased his ''Chess principles reloaded'' a year or two ago. I only just started working through this book which could just as easily have been titled ''Operation mindshift!''. I heartily recommend it to anyone having hit a wall rote-memorizing openings and coming up short for ideas in the middlegame: you will always find an answer pondering the center and your place relative to it, after having worked through his course. As for this series, I love the premise and can't believe our luck to have such a strong player comment a weaker player's thought process as it unfolds during a game. It is plain to see he is authentically invested in that player's thinking, hoping she will awaken to obvious tactical implications, encouraging her to break the boundaries of facile and non commital evaluations, celebrating when she sees a useful line and follows through on it. Very good stuff here all around. So kudos to all concerned for having participated in this noble and enlightening experiment. I look forward to discovering the rest of this creator's content. Edit: just realized I'm already subscribed to the channel! lol
I love this new series, it's a great concept. I really learned a lot and I'm so happy to see more educational videos coming up. My compliments to Amy for commentating and sending in an interesting game, and to you for building a very entertaining and instructive video around it.
This series is awesome. As a beginner I can rly identify with this sort of content. It's a big difference from you playing a game commenting on it. Even if it is instructive too, here you rly cover gaps you wouldn't if you'd play your own game. These gaps are exactly what I'm looking for when I want to improve by watching a video. Keep up this great work Andras, thanks.
Andras. Every time I hear “hola to the chicos and the chicas,” I know I’m about to come out the other side of a video better than I was when I went in. Your no-nonsense style is concise and informative. Thank you for coaching.
Absolutely amazing video, love your content! I will bookmark this and send it to my students so they see (among other instructive things) that I'm not the only one who thinks generic truths like "Doubled pawns are bad" are total nonsense :D
In my games, often times, I don't care if I double my pawns (unless the position is not dynamic and the doubled pawns are on an open file or near my king); I care about my piece activity and material advantage and not making tactical mistakes. The computer doesn't seem to care too much about a bad pawn structure (unless it's a pure king and pawn ending or the opponent can immediately attack them in a good way, i.e., pawns are on open files or give the opponent good outposts for his knights); the computer cares more about material, attacking possibilities (sometimes the evaluation is +4 even though material is equal because of a kingside attack), and piece activity/outposts.
Highest views in 3 weeks and this video got me to subscribe. More please. Especially if you want me to record my live thoughts during a rapid game and analyse it for me.
Great format, keep it up. I will watch the next installments for sure! And props to this player for volunteering to be under the spotlight with her thought process and all.
This is what I've wanted since I first discovered your channel. Only thing I would add is the rating range to the title. "IM reacts to 900-1000 rated club player's thought process - The Amateur's Mind"
I’m 1600 and I learnt a lot from this! I also do a lot of vague evaluations and go by principles out of lazyness or unwillingness to calculate! I would love to see this exact format through 1600-2100
Andras, I really like that you in a lot of your videos you are covering game from pshychological perspective. It indeed is valuable lesson and approach. Looking forward for more videos like this. Cheers!
One thing re. reducing the number of candidate moves is obviously a good point (i'm not saying you aren't right!) But, as someone in that range from 900-1500, i think the discussion amy had at 18:20 (and on a bit) re. play c5,c4 and trapping the bishop I think isn't being overwhelmed by candidate moves but rather that Amy has enough tactical nous to recognize that there should be a tactic (because white is so pasive and their pieces are so oddly placed) but failing to see Re8 means that Amy is grasping for other moves that would immediately punish the white position. The point, generally, that I'm trying to make, is that lower rated players often find their opponents not playing theory (i.e., bad moves) which they know instinctively should be punishable but failing to find immediate refutation (or, perhaps, there not being an immediate tactical refutation in the position) start searching for things and thats when calcualtion and principles fall by the way-side. However, a really good video throughout!
Or she just needs to see more examples of positions similar to these being handled competently. Then she will start remembering what to look for in similar positions.
This was an incredible video. Looking forward to seeing more! I do all of these mistakes and it's great to see you suggest ways to avoid such problematic thinking. Thank you.
Hey Douglas, thanks for the kind words and welcome onboard! I am just about to record one now, but they will only be released after the candidates. Stay tuned!
27:30 Good to understand WHY the LSB is bad in French lines??? You block the poor thing in on move 1 with your e-Pawn… but it’s only bad so long as it remains blocked in. Soon as you trade or push pawns and open the Bishop, its potential energy increases! This is another reason to NOT bother memorizing general statements or rules of thumb Unless you understand what it means fundamentally and when your best move is to ignore or break the rule! They say to avoid moving a piece more then once in the opening… but what if you move your Knight, then your opponent offers you a fork? So you fork then take. Then they attack your Knight… but you can save it. So you move it again. Then they push a pawn and a juicy outpost for the Knight opens up… So you move it twice more to jam that Knight smack in the heart of your opponent’s position. There’s 6 moves of the same piece in the opening… all 6 possibly the best moves in the position.
Awesome idea for a series, I see great potential for "Inside Your Head." To me the most telling comment was when she was talking about her bad "French" bishop, while earlier saying she was more comfortable against the Advance. This suggests a preference for the static stereotypical French plan of piling up on d4. Leaning heavily on static catchphrases and plans is detrimental to adapting to the fluid state of the chessboard (which was no longer a French by move 4), I'd say she should start playing some 1. e5. Just my two cents.
You raise a good point, but I don't think her playing the French is the problem, more that lower-rated players are very dogmatic to theoretical moves like you said, and do not adapt to the actual position.
@@ChessCoachAndras Thanks for replying. I first learned chess as a kid, back when Bobby Fischer was heading to the world championship. Then I gave it up for a few decades, so ... I've forgotten where I read it. But maybe you can ask your current students? For instance, amy_space clearly doesn't like them. She must have read that or heard that somewhere. It could be a really interesting question! Where are players around 1000 ELO getting overly general advice? Thanks for all the great content!
Yes, doubled pawns are a weakness, but mainly in the endgame IF the game gets that far. Even then, they are usually not a fatal weakness depending on the position. They also offer a small weakness in the middle game, but usually you get some offsetting compensation such as an open or half open file, or an extra pawn to push toward the center or adjacent center square.
That's a super useful series, especially if expanded over higher ratings as well. I think the Re8 idea could have gotten some lines, as after f4 it only wins a pawn - and the immediate -7 SF eval might not be immediately obvious.
I second the point about deeper explanation of why Re8 “wins the game on the spot.” Materially it just appears to win a pawn and I’d guess that as you say the large dynamic advantage which accompanies that wouldn’t be apparent to most players below master level. I like that @ChessCoach Andras videos are generally high level and I’ve found in quite a few others that similar “obvious game-winning advantages” are not sufficiently explained to be obvious to me. Naroditsky by contrast typically offers suitable explanations, though he’s fairly unique in that in my experience.
I absolutely love this video and is helping me tremendously. I do have one question: what does "winning instantly mean"? Andras says this around 19:11, and I have seen numerous other coaches talk about this notion of "winning instantly". Do they mean winning material? winning the game? I feel like when I hear this, IMs and GMs are really saying "winning the game". But, I would love some more elaboration on this. Thoughts anyone?
11:52 I often have doubled pawns when playing white lol, cause Bg3 Bxg3 hxg3. That's not bad because it opens up the h-file for the rook and if the game progresses that far they generally tend to get undoubled anyway. In a pawn endgame on the other and I love for my opponents pawns to doubled and blocked by a single pawn of mine lol.
@@ChessCoachAndras generosity? man, who makes all the great content for free? 😁 the least I can to is study hard and give you some cash for a cool beer 😉
The funniest part of that Greek gift line is that because the opponents Bishop is sitting on that pawn there is no dark square Bishop to come out and stop it. Therefore would have shown how dumb the placement of the Bishop was the whole game. Chess is awesome it's like a story
So there is a difference between just moving a piece off the back rank and developing it? I've never heard that before. That's a paradigm shift in my head.
“Never force a player to make the best move”. Too true. Once had an opponent who played the most forcing move 4 times in a row, forcing me to checkmate them! I had no choice. 😂😂
is her video or PGN available anywhere? i'd actually like to see the game / watch her video on my own before your comments influence my thought process.
My mother, when she was a student, was playing chess with her friend. One has mated another, but none of them noticed. And so they continued to play. Somehow they discovered it later on, and then had a discussion, what should the outcome of the game be. Not arriving to any definite conclusion, they have approached some more experienced players...
my issue with evaluating the position isnt my ego, its that i genuinely dont know if im better - the opponent could make 1 move next and Im in big trouble which I did not forsee, even if i thought my position is solid.
* light bishop can pin white's queen and win it * Amy: This is a bad bishop in the French so I'm gonna sacrifice it for a pawn. 🤣 I'm just making some light-hearted fun guys.
We all have trash thoughts during a game that are easily refuted in retrospect. The difference is that I put them out there for the world to see and criticize.
@@amyshaw2340 Well.. I hope one day you'll gain the skill and humour to laugh at yourself and French bishop comment. It's not criticism it's humour. No one's good at chess compared to engine.
I'm grateful for videos rather than this than videos where GothamChess does videos of 400 ELO players to insult their play. There is a place for his videos of course, but prefer these as very respectfully done
"do, or do not, there is no try"… Coach Andras slowly turning into Coach Yoda!
Love this new series. Very instructive and educational. Would be interested to see the thought process behind higher rated club players. Thanks for the high quality video.
That is an awesome idea @Hodgey !
Was also going to comment that I would like to see these videos progress up the rating ladder.

One has to think in terms of tradeoffs. What do I get for my doubled pawns? Is it worth it?

Appreciate the analysis. Don't feel pressured to make the videos shorter.
Love the idea for this series. Look forward to the next one.
Hi Andras. I've just come across your TH-cam channel. I absolutely loved the video above. You've got a new fan! Great work, thanks.
Thanks Fabrice and Welcome onboard! I recommend you to binge watch my "Amateur's Mind" videos, they are very similar to this.
Thanks both of you, very interesting procedure. And thanks for relativizing "rules" which are guidelines rather than dogma.
This is a very interesting series to watch especially for beginners and intermediate players
Well done SIR
Great idea for a series. Love hearing how amateurs think and how their thinking sometimes is headed in the wrong direction.
Yes, I do hope it will be a great learning source!
Awesome video Andras, I look forward to many more of these!
Huge Thanks Paul for the super Thanks! I have plenty of raw material already so this is definitely going to be a series!
Just came across your channel. Exactly what i needed!
Amazing and instructional Format:)
Good game and commentary Amy and Andras -just what I Need.
Zen and the art of Chess maintenance. A brilliant new series. Your Commentary is so instructive, thank you, can't wait for more.
Thanks Dave, appreciate your kind words!
I just love the way and the style you explain the concepts and the game. Great job András!
Thanks! Koszonom!
Great format, keep it up. I will watch the next installments for sure!

Thank you! It wasn't easy to be vulnerable like that but if it helps more people, it's totally worth it!

Fantastic video, and great idea for a series, - looking forward to seeing more episodes!
Such a cool series!! Nice work!
Wow this series is an amazing idea, looking forward to more of this !
Love this series! Keep them coming :-)
Me telling myself that I have a better position and that I’m just better in this situation
Me getting checkmated 1 move after that
Both entertaining and instructive!
Love this new series and learnt a ton from the commentary and coach! Please keep them coming!!
Great video Andras & Amy 🏆

Re doubled pawns, a LOT of books and sites say they are usually bad. We intermediates didn't invent the notion, we read it.
I have read a lot of books in my life but I cant recall seeing this in any. I am not picking a fight but would to see where you read/heard it.

Twitter/Discord is best
The funniest part of that Greek gift line is that because the opponents Bishop is sitting on that pawn there is no dark square Bishop to come out and stop it. Therefore would have shown how dumb the placement of the Bishop was the whole game. Chess is awesome it's like a story
What would be even better is also knowing the thoughts of the other player as well. Analyze both sides.
This kind of video is amazing, I would love to see more of these! They give us 'amatures' a lot of very concrete and great points to consider!
Glad you enjoyed it! The idea s indeed to offer a great learning source.
Great content as always. Will you more videos with players from different levels?
Hey Andras, just wanted to ask, in 27:12 you said that it's a free piece after Re1 but doesn't Re1 only win a pawn after f4?
This is a super nice idea!
Thank you! 😊
So there is a difference between just moving a piece off the back rank and developing it? I've never heard that before. That's a paradigm shift in my head.
“Never force a player to make the best move”. Too true. Once had an opponent who played the most forcing move 4 times in a row, forcing me to checkmate them! I had no choice. 😂😂
