I was about to read the Jeremy Silman's How To Reassess Your Chess, and this video really helped me get used to it and cleated my concept. Such an underrated channel. Subscribed
Initiative - is your opponent defending from you or are you defending from them? Material - the amount of pieces you have captured compared to your opponents? Pawn Structure - are the pawns setup in a way that gives you the advantage? Lines - do you have file control? Officers - are the minor pieces being useful or useless? (Knights, Bishops, Pawns) Development - are your pieces more active then your opponents? see Officers and Lines E - eh I didn't hear that one :( Space - do you have control over more space then your opponent?
Nice little summary list you out together. I'll add to some of the summary: Pawn structure you want look for weaknesses in opponent's pawn structure--like undefended pawns, double pawns, hanging pawns (Important: To find ways to pin pieces, gain a material advantage). Lines you look for lines to control with Queen, Bishops, and Rooks. Officers--you want to see which of your opponent's bishops and knights are blocked or free to move (you also want to evaluate your own bishops and knights the same way).
We've got many live online and recorded chess courses at ChessUniversity.com! We try to record TH-cam videos but our priority right now is teaching the online chess programs.
can u ask you that wih specific advantage or weakness, we have some finite ideas we have learned to exploit right because i dont think there are new strategic ideas i can find to exploit it. Tks so much professor
Hi Shaun! We're just testing things on TH-cam. We haven't officially launched our channel here but will do so soon. We'll post more installments of this series once we have launched. In the meantime, you can find us at ChessUniversity.com where we are teaching the Prodigy Program.
I'll try. You need to PLAN the work. You need to have the right MATERIALS for the job. You need to perform various tasks at the right TIME. When you make measurements, you need to CALCULATE. You may VISUALISE the final result. You need CONCENTRATION to do a good job. All of these factors, and more, are also needed to play strong chess.
Thanks for very good lessons! It has been a while there i has wondering about those imbalances. What were they? Since i am pretty good in the opening, and middlegame. But im starting too screw things up at the end of the middlegame and i think's it's because i didn't ask my self those questions. So it's good that i can now ask my self those the questions in the middlegame. So i can improve position for the endgame and improving my analyze skillz. Thanks alot again! (Y) One question btw! Could you have made a video about tempo/tempi as well? There we get examples in the very opening and middlegame? Im getting confused about when too use A3/H3 and A6/H6 - when am i gaining tempo or losing tempo on that? What's half a tempo? And how to gain/lose tempo at the middle game. That would been awesome!
Yeah i know, but i didn't have the questions too ask my self. Like you demonstrated. So now i got the questions i know what i am looking for during the game. If im just asking my self those questions after each move i think i can getting alot better. But again: "Could you have made a video about tempo/tempi and half-tempo/tempi for for opening, middlegame especially and end-game?" :) I would have appreciated about it if you could do that. :) One other thing... what's the order too ask the questions? Is it like you asked your self?
Thank you, I am reading Silman's Amateur's Mind book and needed exactly this to comprehend specifically what he meant.
A very good lesson! Thank you very much. Looking forward to the next ones. I subscribed to get notifications.

That's funny. 11 months later, and I'm here after reading silmans reassess your chess, looking for more on imbalances and how to exploit them.
Initiative - is your opponent defending from you or are you defending from them?
Material - the amount of pieces you have captured compared to your opponents?
Pawn Structure - are the pawns setup in a way that gives you the advantage?
Lines - do you have file control?
Officers - are the minor pieces being useful or useless? (Knights, Bishops, Pawns)
Development - are your pieces more active then your opponents? see Officers and Lines
E - eh I didn't hear that one :(
Space - do you have control over more space then your opponent?
It's just IMPLODeS, excluding the letter E
Nice little summary list you out together. I'll add to some of the summary:
Pawn structure you want look for weaknesses in opponent's pawn structure--like undefended pawns, double pawns, hanging pawns (Important: To find ways to pin pieces, gain a material advantage).

Can anyone give me an analogy of a construction worker's approach to chess? How could I apply my knowledge of roofing or installing windows to chess?

There are many types of imbalances, including: pawn structure, development, material, space, king safety.
Yeah i know, but i didn't have the questions too ask my self. Like you demonstrated. So now i got the questions i know what i am looking for during the game.
