    @ibiwisi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +119

    Thanks for the clear explanations, @AnnaCramling! A humble suggestion, if I may. "KMPPS" is not very easy to remember; it's particularly hard to remember which "P" comes first in the analysis. You might substitute the first "P" with an "A, for "Activity." This is a double-purpose move! "K-MAPS" is much easier to remember, and now we don’t have two "P"s to sort out. Just a thought. Thanks for all of your excellent chess content!

    Hi Anna. Your channel brings a lot of light-hearted fun to the game, and so is always a joy to watch. But it's also nice here to see you delving into a bit more traditional theory, because that showcases your more serious side, and a sound theoretical grasp of core principles. I've been trying to get back up to speed with chess after not playing for many years, and for me this was a great little refresher on stuff that I already knew but just needed to blow the dust off. Job done. Many thanks for all of your efforts!

    @alecmisra4964 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    19:52 It seems to me that your opponents best chance is to attack the knight defending the king (using the ws bishop). This necessitates a rook exchange as the opening move for him. Black king can still hurriedly retreat however after the exchange. But it is a bad position.

    • @roblemmens7487

Your explanations are clear, simple and help me A LOT to understand this game I love so much but that is so mysterious to me. I am playing since 18 months and I'm stuck in a plateau. Not many good players like you take time to explain to beginners. You do it so well in your own style, without being arrogant and you know exactly the mistakes we do and the things we should know. I was about to give up but I watched you for the first in your vidéo Check/Capture/Attack and i immediatly saw à difference in the way i play. 🙏 thank you!

  • @fabiangradolph
    @fabiangradolph 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Good summary. But I would add a 6th element: the tempo, or who has the initiative. Mijail Tahl was asked about which was the single most important factor in chess and he said it had taken him a time to understand that tempo is the most valuable element. You can sacrifice material or accept weaknesess in your position to gain tempo and initiative.

    • @klauspoetsch1841
      @klauspoetsch1841 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, you are right, but I would put this into piece activity, too. I would even put the important lines (moves) in this category, so you have to remember only 5 categories.

    • @MrNASoul
      @MrNASoul 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    • @Nova04550
      @Nova04550 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Eh yeah but I would say you have tempo either because an attack on the king or attack on pieces, so that falls under king safety / piece activity.

    I need more continuation! What if bishop to h3, now guarded by the queen, with the idea of displacing the great knight to open up the checkmate square on g7? Is the rook forced to exchange? Does that even things back up? My unrated sub-1000 brain can’t cope…

    Hi Anna,
    I don’t know if anyone else told you in the comments but some would say your missing the third part of your presentation. You got the first two parts right: 1) Tell your audience what they are going to learn. 2) Teach them.
    But you need to finish it this way: 3) Tell them what you just taught them. Part 3 reinforces for your audience what you want them to know! Or,
    (Tell them what your going to tell them. Tell them. Tell them what you just told them!) 😀

    @privatename3621 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This was helpful Anna, thank you. As a chess newbie, it's easy to dismiss the power of pawns to the end game, treating them as easily expendable and wanting to protect the more valuable pieces with my life, even to the point of not wanting to make any "exchanges" because it feels like to do so, you are losing your most powerful weapons. Which is why I am amazed after watching many of your videos at how quick and breezy you are at trading pieces to winnow down the other player's pieces but also your own. These are the hardest mindsets to break free from as a newbie which is why your videos are so important to watch and learn from.

    SUBSCRIBED !!!
    For me, this was very insightful for not only the calculus but for the fact of assessing the real threat of a powerful piece in your backyard and maybe not needing to be too freaked-out; and that by placing a strategic piece with an appropriate capability (in this case a Knight) you do not have to be so preoccupied to the point of distraction!
    As a side note (and maybe a video for your?) is the use of the King as an active piece and weapon. I have had so much better results with strategically (and tactfully) using my King to not only attack, but to bolster the power of my other pieces, even if they are pawns that have already moved forward. I used to just about ignore my King and found that I spent so much time, material and calculation on keeping him safe--yet dormant; whereas if i looked to him as a support-piece, I found that I could free up so many-more resources especially in an attacking campaigns!
    So for me, I would really appreciate as many instructive videos as you feel would be valuable. Thanks You Very Much Anna! 😀

  • @johnkeller9448
    @johnkeller9448 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    In chess, one should be totally Ruthless if you want to be the best. From Merriam Webster "Ruthless can be defined as "without ruth" or "having no ruth." So what, then, is ruth? The noun ruth, which is now considerably less common than ruthless, means "compassion for the misery of another," "sorrow for one's own faults," or "remorse." And, just as it is possible for one to be without ruth, it is also possible to be full of ruth. The antonym of ruthless is ruthful, meaning "full of ruth" or "tender." Ruthful can also mean "full of sorrow" or "causing sorrow." Ruth can be traced back to the Middle English noun ruthe, itself from ruen, meaning "to rue" or "to feel regret, remorse, or sorrow."

    Yes, I enjoy your teaching videos. I hadn't played in forty years, then the algorithm stared serving up your videos. I just watched "One." A week later I had an online chess account, and was up at night watching your videos about pawn structure etc. You are a good teacher. As a beginner, choosing one voice to listen to as a teacher helps. Trying to learn anything on TH-cam can be like trying to drink from a fire hose. I like that you talk about the fundamentals. Not just 'if x, then y' but how and why.
    A couple of things I'd like to understand better:
    1. When and why to sacrifice, trade, or defend a piece. As a beginner, I want to protect and defend ALL of my pieces. Every taken piece feels like a failure. However, when I watch better players they will seemingly happily trade, or sacrifice even the Queen, if it's the 'right' thing to do. How do you know when, and why to defend or not?
    2. When is it time to be done 'Opening' and developing, and start to attack? How do I know when I've moved from opening to the mid-game? Should I think about them differently? And then, when do I start to think about endgames? How do I control those changes in the game? Can or should I force those moments on my opponent at times of my choosing or advantage? Or, is this something that just happens organically as the game proceeds, and I need to identify it and adapt as I go ?
    3. The initiative. Related to #2 and controlling the flow of the game, how and when to take initiative and press; so that I don't spend the rest of the game on defense and running for my King's life. Even more importantly, how do I take it back when I am on defense? How do I create the space, or steal a tempo to begin a counterattack before it's too late?
    4. Traps. How to set, bait, and spring them? Conversely, and more importantly how to detect and avoid falling in to them? My biggest blunders seem to happen when I think I'm being clever, and setting a trap; and then I get crushed from someplace I never saw it coming. That, "Oh man, how did I fall for that?" feeling is the worst!
    This lesson was a good one. I actually did write it down in my notebook. Lots to think about in what you laid out here. Thanks Anna.

    (4:00) Well :D The utter most important thing - as you realize looking at this - is: Training! To make it your hobby! To have plenty of time and events to make yourself familiar with the goal at hand (in this case: evaluation of chess configurations). Even such simple things like math rules on operator precedence will put you down if you have no continued and thorough training in it, but will become drastically trivial if you have. The same with chess (even not as trivial as operator precedence rules).

    ¡Muy útil Anna! ¡Muchas grácias!
    La verdad que sería muy útil si pudieras hacer algún que otro vídeo más sobre estos conceptos analizando otras posiciones y así poder reforzarlos y que los vayamos interiorizando.
    ¡Gran contenido! 💪

    Hi Anna,
    Thenks for the video! This approach is really for me!
    I often get fustrated in mid games, being overwhelmed by the options I have.
    This guidlines seem simple enough follow for my simple mind :) .
    What I like about it, is that it allows me more spontaneous thinking by taking away the fustration..
    More of such videos would be really great!

    Anna, a light went on in my head when you made the connection between pawn structure and Queen trades. I had not really thought of it that way. Before I'd evaluate the desirability of Queen trades based on if I was up material, or my opponents queen was extremely active and threatening.
    This was really really valuable to me!

    Awesome video. Thank you Anna! Yes a video showing how to convert the pawn piece/structure endgame advantage to a win would be great. How and which pawns to move in the endgame is difficult for me and makes me anxious even when im up in material 😅 thanks again for the great content 🙂
