This is day 267 of my journey to get to a rating of 2000 on chess.com.
I am glad that I'm playing the french more now. I think it's a very solid opening, and extremely good against anything white throws at me. I'm even open to playing it against d4 and e4, depending on what happens, but it's something I need to improve at a lot for sure. I think I'll stop playing the pirc, it's far too complex for me to be able to focus. The jobava is still going well for me and I think I am winning most of my white games overall. I'll try to focus better after this french, pirc, and jobava game.
So far on the series:
226 wins 29 draws 184 losses

"completely winning" should be on some of your merch. its a pretty cool slogan to sell.
Haha, great idea, I need to come out with some new merch for sure
Whenever I hear "Let's try this." My stomach jumps a bit. The blunder mark has come out one too many times after that phrase of yours!
@@DaVaidrRaidr hahahaha, I need to remember this and do a double take after saying it
Every time you say you're completely winning, I start to worry a little bit about you.😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 oh man
Nice video, even though you lost elo, that's part of the journey. Maybe just study the french a bit more and then also play it against e4. I also play the french against e4 and I really like the positions that I get from it
Yeah I think it's quite enjoyable honestly
Thanks Sir
@@sandeepverygoodvedeo8693 glad you're here brother!
If you want, you can watch one of Alex Banzea's Caro Kann videos and scroll through the video(he usually does an excellent job marking the variations he's playing so you can just watch what is important to you) where he does the Advance Caro Kann variation and also look at the Botvinnik-Carls variation in the video. The reason I say this is not to learn the Caro Kann but those two variations are very similar to your first game and are basically the same as the French Defense except your light squared bishop doesn't get trapped. If you like the French Defense you'll probably love playing that variation of the Caro Kann as it's basically as Alex says it "an improved French Defense"
Yeah I've seen a lot of his videos, but not a big fan of the Caro as so many people play it, and also it's a bit positional and slow I feel, but maybe I need to give it a proper go
@@Blunder_Man Absolutely! You do what you feel is best for you but that's why I suggested just those 2 variations as they were already similar to what you were playing. I agree Caro isn't your style lol
@@Imagoofygoober42 I def have a lot of room for improvement. I listened to a video from Magnus recently, saying that his best advice he ever got was to try new ideas, and learn new things, instead of sticking to the same Sicilian that he had learned. I think it's true, I need to keep exploring the chess board and learning new stuff, but I need to get to a better level of what I have already kinda learned so far as well.
Try the Karo against e4. It is a very solid opening.
Eughhhhh idkkkk
I wouldn’t recommend playing the French against d4. I know the Ginger GM does it to avoid the Hopton attack but he plays the French against e4 so is well clued up on it. Easier just to learn a line to play against the hopton
@@Lucan23 I just think I like the French, I've always enjoyed playing it
You look better without the stache
@@tmshaffer thanks brother
@@Blunder_Man no offense ment
None taken
Phew....😅
Yes sir!
No views but I’m the first one here
What accent is that ?cant place it.
Northern Irish, English, American, South African mixture
@Blunder_Man Wow I got 3 out of 4 missed south African, cool.. 😎 Thanks
@@bethm2131 haha, I don't think I have a South African accent but I have been told I do from several different people. The only explanation I have is that I had South African friends who I hung around with for 5-6 years and apparently I picked up their accent/inflection a bit.
