Dan the term Evaluating the position and evaluating imbalances in the position are the same thing. I have searched all over the internet but i didn't get a satisfactory answer can you help. And can you tell how can I use scid vs pc a chess database software to improve
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion, evaluating a position includes evaluating imbalances, but it also includes other things that would not always be considered "imbalances". I am not sure what "SCID" is. I assume you saw my earlier video(s) on how to use a chess opening database.
@@danheismanchess Thank you coach and scid vs pc is a software just like chessbase but free and opensource
Dan, as a beginner I've always wondered what they mean when they say "main line" in the line of play. Is is something that is best play? I mean what is best play then, even in a sideline there is best play. So what exactly is it meant when one says, "main line" in a chess game. Why is something considered a "main line"?
The main line of an opening is usually the moves that are played the most often (usually referring to the upper echelon of play, e.g. in LiChess the master database, not everyone's database). Historically, of course, everyone would like to think the main line is also the best tries for both players, but engines have changed the opinions on some lines (just as historical play does). For example, for over 100 yrs after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, 3...a6 was considered the "main line" but due to Kramnik (and then others') success with 3...Nf6 and confirmation by the engines, now 3...Nf6 has become, if not the main line for Black, at least considered 3...a6's equal. So in master databases, look for moves that are played (much) more than the other moves; those are almost always the "main line", at least for the first few moves of the game.
@@danheismanchess That makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
Dan, do you have any advice for someone reluctant to play long games due to boredom/impatience?
Play 10m. Next week play 15m. Next week play 15|10. Next week play 30|20. At the end of the day, though, any player who’s any good won’t get impatient because there’s always more to learn about the position.
I may be wrong since I don't know exactly your situation, but there is so much to think about on most moves (What are all my reasonable options? Are they safe? What is likely to happen if I do? Which sequence results in a position most favorable to me?...) that there is no time to get bored if you are playing correctly. But players who started by playing fast (say 10-15 min games) on the internet have little idea what it takes to play strong, slow chess, so they are more likely to get "bored" because they are not aware of all the fascinating things they need to do on most moves to play really well. So Derrick's suggestion about learning more about each position is reasonable. In my Novice Nook column I wrote a couple about this, entitled "The Fun of Pros and Cons" and "Chess is Decisions" - and I touch on this in some of my other videos, like "Slowing Down" here on this channel.
