Yes! Unfortunately even if what makes you improve is a "simple" recipe (tactics, tactics, tactics + practice & improving from your mistakes), improvements takes time (it took me many years!!) and it is not easy
There is. I went from 0 to 2500 in just 3 years without studying at all. The simple way is to be obsessive about understanding every idea you come across.
@@maxkho00 " I went from 0 to 2500 in just 3 years without studying at all. " No, you didn't. Unless you're talking about some web site somewhere that has its own rating system, in which case they might as well tell you your rating is 10,000. A real OTB 2500 rating is not something you will ever achieve, no matter what you do. You just won't get there if you started as an adult. Online ratings don't count. Sorry. It's too easy to cheat online, and there are many, many people who are willing to cheat anonymously.
I started playing competitive chess at 7 and I left chess after becoming the second best player of my category at 12. The guy who came in first in the city was far above me (he was already competing with some of my teachers haha). I think that what you coach told you at such a young age (forget about memorizing everything in the opening) was a great pice of advice that I wish someone had given me. Btw, your glow-up between 12-13 to 14-15 was wild!
No way u go against Gaia in the finals. Its like a movie script lol. had to be this way. awesome video. Just started playin chess and your channel has been awesome. I can see you grind the hell out of TH-cam, its showing. Your videos are great.
The journey is more important than the goal... the question (in this case) is more important than the answer... Sometimes it would seem like wish have no rival and would be the best, but as annoying as they are, a challenge is needed and motivating. Nice video and funny stories.
I got levy’s book (still waiting for delivery) . And I’m now 2400 in puzzles. Have won 4 consecutive games so far and I’m going for 1000 elo (currently around 800)
Super! What a lovely story! But one of a lot of hard work and determination. Yes…in chess you should never give up trying to g to improve. You will always hit a plateau and even drop down. But if your determined and work hard enough you will suddenly find a rebound! Look forward to more of your video’s !
I have to say, there's something about your expressions that are incredibly funny. also I'm around 1680 ECF (roughly similar rating with fide) and in 1 of your other videos you mentioned capturing towards the centre (axb3 and hxg3 ) where you referred mentioned this upgrading the pawn, this is honestly something I had never heard explained before, always capture towards the centre unless you have a good reason, yes we all hear that but the explanation helps.
I liked the way of your speech delivery. It was iteresting and glad to know your journey a bit. I have been stucked at 1450 rating point. Yeah, I know, I have ability to make it 1600 at least. I need some motivation, so that I can concentrate consistantly.
Simple refers to the training method: tactics + practice + 1 book for strategy + studying masters games. Improvement is never easy and it has been a tough journey. BUT what made me improve was sticking to a simple method :)
I bet when you looked back at your games you noticed that most of your mistakes was because of blunders. I won 11 games in a row because of a blunder checklist. I even beat someone that was 1015 ELO with it. My biggest win so far. CCT (Checks, Captures, Threats) wasn't enough for me. I spent $100s of dollars on courses looking for the missing piece of the puzzle. I thought it was tactics at first. I studied them every day for months and I wasn't improving cause I kept freaking blundering over and over. Once they stopped my rating began to climb and thought to myself that if I just play solid and wait for them to blunder I'll win. That's my new mentality and it's working.
@@FireToasterYT 1. 1. Why did they go there ? Is it attacking something? 2. Am I about to get checkmated? a. Do I have checkmate? 3. Is my queen about to get captured? a. Can I take there queen? 4. Are any of my pieces about to get captured? a. Can I take any of their pieces? What does my next move affect?
Why would it be impossible? U still has time, u still smart i mean u have the same lever of intelligence, but it would be kinad of hard to create pathways but u will do it just like if u did it if u were 20 or 13
i remember 10 years ago in Barletta when i read the pc in the tournament for my next opponent and i saw you or gaia in the next match, i knew that it was already over. 🤣
I play chess every few days couple of games. And then I see this video, getting 2500 the easy way. Video starts with "I started playing at age of 9" lol... so its not simple way, means you're in chess your whole freaking life.
Everything is fast about you. You speaking, playing chess and making videos. I had to pause more than once. But nice you got where you wanted to be. I'm enjoying your vids. Thank you!
Thank you! Simple refers to what I had to do to get there. Nothing too special, nothing too fancy. Not so much time spent on studying opening. What I did is: Tactics, tactics, tactics, lots of practice, 1 book for strategy and watching master games for the openings I play. Simple system but it doesn't mean it is easy. It has been a f*** hard journey 😅
The simple way = study consistently for many hour every day for years and years. There's no way around it.

😂😂 I was thinking the same when that picture came up
lmao same remark xD
apparently, people with similar appearance tend to have similar abilities and even character
You stole my comment!!!

Love the accent 🤌
Rivally
Hahaha 😂
Actually doun't is how don't is pronounced (according to any resonable spelling).
Love the dramatic story of growing up and chasing your dreams!
Wow cool story- sometimes I hate that i started chess with 30 years :(
Thank you!! But you can still make improvements :)
sir you can still have fun and live in joy with chess and make constant improvements 😃

Great job!
Caruana nella foto a 5:38... "no big deal" hahaha
Less dramatic and vengeful Italian I have seen😂
Great video!
It's so cool to learn chess while growing up. I wish I had that.
Beautiful story❤
Everyone needs a rival like Gaia.
Cute Kid with "Drive". Kinda like the Olympics.
wahhhh! What a Spirit of Game and come back !!
Gaia! 😠 Let's get her! 😆
A very interesting story/video. 👍
Just found this Chanel this girl is great!
It's really amaizing thst you could be able to recover.
this is so much fun, brava Alessia
Damn I was soo foccused on your words,
this video was soo inspiring I really needed this,
thank you!!
Her rivalry with the former girls U10 vice champion of Italy is real, the pic used @4:05 is devious 🤣🤣🤣
If you can do BIM BAM BOOM and dont forget to take your FREE CHEESE MACARONI you can reach any elo u want 😊
Easy!!
"I literally devoured my first tactics chess book." Go on, tell us how it tasted. :)
Like pasta
"the simple way"
Start young
Have support from your family
Go to tournaments
Read books
Have a chess coach
Ah, yes. The simple way. Of course.

Blunders are a huge problem of mine so if you don’t mind me asking what is your blunder checklist?
@@FireToasterYT 1. 1. Why did they go there ? Is it attacking something?

a. Do I have checkmate?
3. Is my queen about to get captured?

@@FireboltJB thank you so much
Thanks for this video
5:41 looks like the boy behind the girls is Fabiano caruana😂
@5:35 That's Fabiano at the back can't be wrong XD
Heart melting story
We have to accept that it's different learning as a kid (even if you didn't study that much) and as an adult. Ben Johnson is King.
excellent!
Good storytelling. Love the accent too.
I've honestly been grinding for a year now, and im 1400. I'm a bit stuck, but it's nothing a few puzzles can't fix
5:39 is that Fabiano Caruana in the background?
I had the same thought lmao
I love the riverly, "rivalry")
Bravissima! Chissà se presto diventerai anche GM!
It's been like 3 months since I reached 1900 elo
Still trying everyday to reach 2000 😂
Such a great video !!!
im a 26 year old, started past week with playing chess, is it too late to become a grandmaster\?
Why would it be impossible?
U still has time, u still smart i mean u have the same lever of intelligence, but it would be kinad of hard to create pathways but u will do it just like if u did it if u were 20 or 13

Grazie ai tuoi video sono salito da 440 a 640 Elo in 3/4 giorni
Which is more aggressive and objectively better? Vienna Gambit or Danish Dambit? And why?
You just inspired me to play more and improve alot in chess🙏. And more importantly to not give up💪🔥
Thank you, very entertaining. Now I just need to climb off the plateau I’ve been on a very long time 1300 😂
i remember 10 years ago in Barletta when i read the pc in the tournament for my next opponent and i saw you or gaia in the next match, i knew that it was already over. 🤣
Impressive! Still room for improvement though. Good luck!
Lovely pictures!!!!!🥰
Great story!

it's so exciting to hear her history, how she narrates... its a wonderful saga... she has bloody in her eyes... now i'm subscribed#
Interesting chess life!
9:37 this tactic is definitely not my level lol
double trade fork lol
very nice to spot it on game
the king didn't had to move back on a forkable square, then black has mate in 7, she could explain it better tho, i had to check it with an engine :)
🎉nice story 👏🏻
Omg why didn't I think of that?! I just have to time travel back to when i was 10!!
Great video :) how does one get to 2500? By working hard on in for over a decade ;)
We need another challenge series!
might happen ;)
my favorite opening is italian game too in black i love scilian defense sometimes i will play queens gambit which is my favorite
Everything is fast about you. You speaking, playing chess and making videos. I had to pause more than once.
But nice you got where you wanted to be.
I'm enjoying your vids.
Thank you!
I admire your persistence. The Simple Way? Does it exist... follow your own way.
Which is more aggressive and objectively better between Stafford gambit, Latvian gambit, and Elephant gambit? And why?
New subscribe here 🇵🇰 your way of describing is amazing
Nice and good story
Very inspiring.
If you start reading a chess book how much time you should take to end it all???
I saw you today, any idea when the video will be up?
Wow, No se ingles y le entendi 😂😂 excelente video
ciao Alessia, quest'anno si farà il pogchamp ita? bel video comunque
Non me ne accupo ma probabilmente ci sarà
5:35 behind was Caruana Fabiano?
Great story, Alessia. Grazie.
I got to 1100 in a year. How long is it going to take me to get to let's say 1500?
Great Video! But I can't say this is the "simple way" 😂

So after watching this video i can clearly say there is no easy way you have to give your everything.
9:42 I'm only 1000 so dont understand why the king has to move there? Can't they just take with the knight instead?
Mate in 5
I just adore You! 🤠
