@@HangingPawns It was your thumbnail that got me into viewing your videos and subbing to your channel. And i love the theory vids.Iam a new subscriber btw
Day 1 of requesting a classical game between Stjepan and Antonio Radić (of the Agadmator Chess Channel) Reasons why I think they should play: - Both are from Croatia - Both have amazing chess channels - Both have about the same rating - Both could make an analysis video - I love them both
Also, don't shy out of putting your own games in your training videos. Even if you lose. The star of my team does that too only to show us what we can't do. Don't feel embarrassed. That's how a person can aid the ones who are trying to improve like them.
@@HangingPawnsthank you for your reply, i just got this video when watching one of your opening videos and was very excited, you really help me improve my chess, thank you!
hey stjepan I'm currently developing my middlegame from ur middlegame ideas playlist..& to be honest it's helping me a lot...u are a great guy brother...lots of love from India...hope to play a game on lichess with u very soon...just wanna ask is blockade/restriction a part of prophylaxis..?
Hey, by any chance your videos will be deleted by you OR made private in future? I have this fear that since your videos are free and you are working hard, there'll come a time you might think this all shouldn't be for all. since i have studies to finish (1 year left), I'll miss out on your videos.
I have a question, Could you tell me where you got the information for your opening series? I want to look into certain openings but can't find much information on them
use the opening notation in chessdatabases for example najdorf sicilian is B97 you put B97 in any chess database and will list all the najdorf sicilians games in that database
Stjepan, majestic content. Thank you! Stjepan Skywalker, we all miss your live streams on Twitch and the tournaments. Did you travel to Dagobah to finish your Jedi training with Master Yoda? Lol. Courage!👍
18:16 - wouldn't Ng4 instead of Ne8 create complications for white? The queen can't take because your rook is hanging then with tempo, and Qe1 or Qe2 to defend the pawn hangs either the d3 bishop or the a1 rook. Thank you for your hard work as usual.
i dont think it would work coz what im thinking is: f3 or h3 to get rid of the knight, the knight then takes on e5 coz nh6 doesnt make sense, the bishop could then take on h7 with check with an idea of qh5. so black's position will just fall apart. @Hanging Pawns, could you please show your insights on this?!

Stjepane bok Hvala na svim ovim videima. Koliko je truda i vremena ulozeno u to mogu samo zamisliti. Naucih puno, ali... koliko god ja naucio teorije iz tvojih videa moj najveci minus, i dalje, je -previd. Znaci tolko sam uzivljen u napad, u svoje figure, da ja ne uocavam koje se prijetnje spremaju. 5 sekundi bi bilo dovoljno da se uoci puno toga, ali ne. Ja po starom. Koliko teorije naucio, badava... kad bivam matiran, puno puta, na banalne nacine. Previdom. Uzas. Frustracija...
I wish i knew. I was going to sign up for one starting August 1st. But in the last few days we had more than a hundred cases. So i doubt it will take place
I was 600 in chess.com last July. Got interested in chess pretty late. I knew all the rules earlier, but was moving pieces randomly before that. Now I'm around 1800 in lichess (think it'll be around 1500 in chess.com) - might be a bit different since I haven't played rated games for 3 months (I was taking my rating very seriously and it made me lose my head - so I decided to play casual for sometime). I didn't play chess very intensely, but I think I can tell u what to do. 1. Play a lot. 2. Analyse with engine to correct your mistakes. 3. Watch TH-cam videos. 4. Do tactical puzzles and practice endgames with engine (easily available online) You should get much better very quick. My username is Josin007 on both sites.
@@josin007 Those are excellent ways to improve. What worked for me was being able to identify tactical targets in chess positions better. This happened through the vigorous study of tactics in books and online which improves your pattern recognition. This in turn helps you trim Kotov's 'tree of analysis' - to not waste time analysing dubious or dead end variations that don't lead anywhere. You only calculate the most promising ones based on patterns you've seen before. Using computers to analyse your game is definitely recommend but must be applied with caution. Computers do get it wrong and can lead you astray. The problem with computers is they're playing "computer chess" and not human chess. They'll often recommended a line which happens to be the strongest line but only if you're a machine. The length and mind-boggling amount of tactical potential pitfalls for both sides - means you shouldn't play it. Yes, it might be technically the strongest line but it requires inhuman play and from you to drift from your plan. This isn't much of a concern I suppose if you're sub 1600 level. The best moves are the ones that are simple and practical. The ones you understand, ones that place pressure on the opponent causing them to blunder.
@@HangingPawns i would really like to improve my chess skill. I know watching your videos help me well but having a coach is so much helpful. Btw thank you for trying 😊
lol e5 divides opponent position? do you remember e5 is played in a lot of e4 games? chess would be so sad if a game would be over because you block any opponent activity playing e5. luckily chess is not so ez
@@terrencecao7727 more often than not, a "30 move tactical setup" is just a simple strategic move that benefits your position (even if it barely does anything), the tactics are later found when your little advantages add up and a tactical play can be made :)

Day 1 of requesting a classical game between Stjepan and Antonio Radić (of the Agadmator Chess Channel)
Reasons why I think they should play:
- Both are from Croatia
- Both have amazing chess channels
- Both have about the same rating
- Both could make an analysis video
- I love them both
Why I feel Payne96 vibe here?
I agree
That first blockade always amazes me. One of my favorite strategies done in any game.

Can you show us examples of weak diagonal, how to open a position for our Bishops, when to close down the position for our Knights?
Nice video!!
very beautiful video

for example najdorf sicilian is B97
you put B97 in any chess database and will list all the najdorf sicilians games in that database
Didn't even know about such a concept.
Do you have any videos that cover when/how to get active with your king? And when to start pushing your king’s pawns? Thanks!
How many times this game was over?
Hi, can you make video of strategy when we are on losing position?
Hey Stjepan,
I was just wondering what chess books you used/recommend to improve at chess (as well as rating ranges for said books)
Yes if possible
Can you put those in the description
Personally I recommend John nunn understanding chess middlegames it helped me skyrocket my middle game strategy hope this helps ✌🏽
Stjepan, majestic content. Thank you!

I olso made a blockade from the events gambit. I blocked the c8 bishop with his own pieces.

Any if you're just starting. They are mostly good. Hard to go wrong.

Did you hear his reasoning at all? Also there are many “easy moves” in chess. Not every fucking move is setting up a 30 move ahead tactic.
