  • In this video I explain how to come up with chess plans in the middle game. This is typically a part of the game where many get lost, so I hope this helps you out in figuring out what to do! :)

    My plan as a 1200: dont lose in the opening, dont blunder a piece, wait for the opponent to blunder a piece 🤣

    • @PowerAnjohn
      @PowerAnjohn ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Works until 1500 to 1600. There you will face a magic barrier preventing you from winning games. This video was perfect for bypassing this barrier

      @@PowerAnjohn Yeah, thats where i'm at now. I used to just make good moves until the opponent makes a weakness and then i can capitalize. Now i'm realizing that no longer works and i need to have a solid plan and provoke weaknesses as opponents no longer blunder regularly. Its a more difficult jump for me from 1500 to 1800 than from 1200 to 1500

    Outstanding video. A great simple framework for making plans:
    1. Get your pieces to the best squares,
    2. Make your opponent's pieces BAD,
    3. Try to create weaknesses in your opponent's position.
    Please make more. Thank you.

    Before you listed the plan options, I paused and decided on Be2, but while that attacks the queen, it doesn't really do much and it blocks the knight from going to e2, which allows their knight to capture ours if white plays f3.

    Thank you Anna for a fantastic video. It would be very interesting to see some videos on how you link the opening thinking with the middle game planning and endgame planning with some specific openings like the QGD and other examples. It seems that some openings have inherent ideas that dictate what you do in the middlegame. With thanks for your kind help.

    I’m quickly becoming a big fan. I love your logic and ability to make the game fun while being strategic. You are providing me with a reason to stay engaged with the game by creating a Plan in any given situation. Many times after my opening, the London, if the opponent makes some unexpected moves, I feel lost, no plan. But your strategy is on going and now I will try again to play with purpose instead of thinking that I need to memorize certain moves for every layout.

    I watch a lot of chess videos looking for content to develop my game and increase my rating (800). For a few months I watched Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian, American, English videos and I can honestly say that this video conveys very clearly and effectively what I was missing in my game and it`s not a content about lines and lines and tricks that don't help us improve our game and we just lose time. If I could give this video 100 likes at once on this video I would. Excellent content, keep it up Anna!! 5 stars!! Kisses from Portugal

    this helps visualize all 3 segments of a game..start with a solid opening (not too hard when there's so many educational tutorials on openings) continue with plans in the middle game creating and attacking the opponents weaknesses and getting the most value out of your pieces then finalize the deal with an easy-ish endgame as a reward for a great middle game

  • @mmathems395
    @mmathems395 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You had a very constructive mindset whilst recording this video. Something or someone was inspiring you to patiently explain these things carefully, with detail and examples. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this from you. And now that I've watched the whole video, I can see where we think similarly, but also where I fall short on completing a plan to dismantle. The game is complicated, it has responses, and it is lose track of an aim or to take lightly an opponent's response - at my level. I can see that you have more consciousness or ideas of what your opponent is or might be planning. Thanks again for this content - I must be getting better if I'm thinking better 😊
