Most excellent! I really appreciate the combination of catch phrases WITH the specific explanations showing why a move was poor, which moves were better, and why the alternate moves were better!! Perfect 🤓
4:30 under 1200? Jesse you sweet summer child. I played a 1675 otb 2 weeks ago. He played a pirc. He castled kingside, I queenside. I started moving my kingside pawns to open up his king. He played Kh8, Ng8, f5 because that's what he learned to do in his setup. Easy win for me.
Pls pls don't stop the great work you all are doing in terms of systematic study and explanation , as we are in need of your content and experience and support ....lets all support the channel ..
Thank you so much for opening my eyes. Since i watched your rating videos, were you talk about tempi loss in the opening and later in the game, have my strength improved a lot. Before my last tournament i was rated 1447 otb, but after it has gone up to 1564!! I now have a greater understanding of what to avoid and how to take advantege of tempi mistakes.
Hey Jesse ! I love your content ! I had the "pleasure " of being crushed by you, in a casual game on my folding chess board set at a cafe in Santa fe . You constricted my game like Tigran Petrosian .By the middle game I was in zugswang 😂 Keep up the great work , Thank You ! Gregory .
Even as an intermediate player, it is good to be reminded of these simple principles as we can all fall into the trap of playing positionally weakening moves by trying to be fancy with our calculations!
this is useful. its easy to get caught in this trap -there is so much openings material out there, thankyou jesse! something that would help imo is to talk to the players about their game. When you play opening theory, you can play rote or you can play with understanding. A good move can be good but with the wrong idea behind it.
If you play chess with your opening repertoire open you'll quickly find out that once you run out of moves and you have to play on your own, the story is still the same. It's all up to you and your skills.
I'm famous!!! Sorta. I thought I had played my opening pretty well (no theory, just principles) but Jesse tore me apart - places I was playing the middle game instead of finishing the opening. Greatly appreciate the feedback! Training Program is amazing!
At around 1200 it feels like im consistently outplayed in the opening since I have studied 0 theory at all Since e4 e5 is so common at my level, I've just started playing 1. Nf3, e5? and collecting the free pawn in about 20% of my games despite not knowing any theory following Nf3
Game 2, if the bishop goes alongside the first one, so everything is symmetrical, is one of my *favorite* positions in chess. I don't know if it's *good*, but it is *beautiful*.
I'm sure all this is true, but simply playing through a GM game in a book without having to start over multiple times because I missed an early move (or set the piece on the wrong square) is an uphill battle. In theory this gets easier. 😕
@@hosiahjones Yes, they certainly did train beginners in lines that were more than 5 moves. You can go check the Russian grandmasters from the middle of last century, their first recorded games, they were playing theory.

There's something funny about Jesse saying "weird" when he sees a move he doesn't like. It always gets a little chuckle out of me.
Loving this little series.

as I got better at chess, I found that opening theory was more easy to remember because I could understand the moves and the ideas behind them
I love the video. It helped me a great deal to get the value of the opening principles. I do think that solid basics are the most important.
Cheers

Thank you so much Jesse, will watch a few times.

@@ChessDojo Thank You. Just had to rant. :)
Greetings!
wtf does he not wear a Mr. Robot jacket?
Could u please define "beginner"? is 2100 blitz on lichess a beginner?
Ive heard a gm call anything below a fide master a beginner
@@hosiahjones Ty
@@jackweatherhead8171 Semantics
@@nomoreblitz yep
opening is uninportant until Jamal's 1800 Danish get destroyed by someone who studied Qe7.. as a beginner of course you SHOULD study theory
The word "study" is a good word. More than merely "memorize,"
Nothing in the game 2 suggests White studied theory, also calling Bh6 a mistake is absurd.
Game 4. His mistake was playing the Exchange
Exchange is the only good French. :P
@@mgweirdo9828 The weird thing about the Exchange French players is that they never play c4 which is the best move. Shows how lazy they are
The Russian School of chess had beginning players learning opening theory. I don't buy your logic at all.
@@hosiahjones Yes, they certainly did train beginners in lines that were more than 5 moves. You can go check the Russian grandmasters from the middle of last century, their first recorded games, they were playing theory.
So are we talking Soviet grandmasters or Soviet beginners? 😄
@@ChessDojo This is cognitive dissonance. First recorded games would mean they were beginners.
