This is so useful. From 2000 to 1600, thank you bro!
Can't wait to continue the journey! Best of luck on yours! I'm hoping to get 1800 by end of 2023. Then we'll shoot for 2k!
@@KDlearns Thanks bro 😭
Am i tripping or is nobody understanding he is trolling?
@@playcrizes I feel like they're trolling each other sarcastically
@@KDlearns i dont think chess analysis is accurate cos i had games with 2500 elo when im 900 elo
Now show us how to get 1700 before our chess match Monday
Can't publish that secret until after our match
You have to know this 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Here's the moves it starts with:
They don't know they just see this
What a wonderfully instructive video mate, essentially giving out a complete roadmap for any 1200 player to improve FAST (towards 1600 or more). Everyone loves helpful content - keep it up mate 😊
This comment made my day!! I really hope it helps a ton of chess enthusiasts!
Started playing chess more consistently about 4 months ago and I’m closing on 1200, going to use this vid in order to help me accelerate my improvement, congrats on 1600
I believe in you! Best of luck
Hey @LRC good luck on your journey. I started in February and I just hit 1275. Hoping to hit 1500 by the end on August! 🙌
Hi nice work.
I reached 1600 rapid and 1500 in blitz this week after 2 years of hardworking exactly like you at age 30. I'm glad to see other player like me sharing their experiences. Keep working 🙏🏽😍
Congrats! Sorry I’m just now seeing this! I’m 28 so very similar in age too! Who said you need to learn chess as a kid to be good!
I peaked at 1580 a week ago and now I'm back to 1500 due to continuous loosing 😵
You can bounce back! I believe!
Yeah like me in blitz i had like 700 and i kept losing and i got all the way down to 400 and now I'm at 500
I had peaked at 1580 then dropped to 1400 in a week, a week after now im 1600
congrats on 1600. great game
Thanks!
reached 1600 today too after 2.5 years! Forecasting, positional evaluation, visualization, being aware of threats... these are the things that needed to be improved.
Congrats on your accomplishment! I agree those are all chess skills that are super helpful to reach 1600 and beyond!
Great job! I just crossed the 1500 mark last week. Trying to get back to my peak of 1600+ from a couple years ago then hopefully reach 2000 one day
Thanks! You can do it! Hope this video helps you get to 1600 and beyond again!
What rating are u now
You probably a 1800 now
11:56 M1 with Qf5#, but congrats on 1600 (:
Good eye! Like I mentioned, I was seeing all sorts of ghosts with that Qf3 move 😅 both Qf3 and gxh3 were ideas winning fortunately!
I started playing 7 years ago with many breaks, I am only 1200, and now I am wondering why everyone is playing now...
It’s been quite a chess boom! Queen’s Gambit show on Netflix, chess cheating allegations, Mittens bot, etc. Admittedly, I only joined during the recent boom, but I’ve absolutely loved every bit of the journey!
I just hit 1800 this morning I’m so happy!
Congratulations!!! That’s awesome
I like the 80s upper smooth cut yk
😂 not every day can be a good hair day
I really learned how to play chess about 4 months ago. And I think that I'm getting better, I'm closing in on four digits in blitz and I'm 1687 puzzle. Thanks I hope to one-day become 2450
In puzzles?
@@Deadeye1967 I know that you get a rating in puzzles. It's just that the OP said that he wants to be 2450 rated, and I asked if he meant in puzzles or a format of chess.
@@mathskafunda4383 Ok, I dunno then..
1600elo in 2 years ? I m 1450elo i only played for 5 months this gives me hope that i can became a master one day so thank you
Congrats ! I hope to get to 1600 someday .
Thanks! I believe you can do it! The nice thing is that there’s no deadline for you!
When u say you forgot the bishop can just take the rook, you also have mate in 1 with queen f5.
I’m 50. It took me 6 years to get to 1550 rapid. I’m hoping to reach 1600 by Christmas but it’s getting a lot harder to gain elo while gaining age. It sucks discovering chess this late. I’d like to be 2000 rapid by the time I’m 55. 400 points in 5 years seems doable right? Yes. When you’re 28 it is but your brain starts to atrophy after 30 at 1% per year until it increases to 3% at 75. At 50 your brain has been shrinking for 20 years. And you really start to feel it. I don’t think I can increase at my normal rate of 100 elo per annum at this point. But I will continue to try. Thanks for your video. Wish I watched it at 45. ;)
I just reached 1700 Elo. Started September 2022. My goal is reaching 2000 Elo in a year
Love it!! Good luck on your journey!
@@KDlearns love your content btw, very cool stuff
@@macdonaldnnadi wow you just have a genius iq. i saw some other people bragging of getting 2000 in 2 years and i thought they were gifted
@@nicholasintrepidity5073 bro even u can be 2000 in a year too just study chess 12 hours a day :D
@@SanjitDoesEverything ever heard of burn out? not everyone can do that. quantity over quality
Started 5 months ago, and im 1550, so close to my goal. Which is also 1600
Keep up the good work! You can do it
Thank you, ill try you advice from now on
Best of luck implementing these changes!
There was mate at 1155 with QF5 in his variation
Sharp eye! I was seeing all sorts of ghosts in that moment and figured the other line was also winning!
I have been at 2200 or so puzzle rating. I feel like I have the really bad habit of moving the pieces around too much while thinking though. That’s not allowed in over the board 😅
Lol yes! When solving puzzles or playing games, it’s best to develop the habit of not drawing arrows! I draw arrows on stream but I do my best not to when I’m offline playing/training
As someone who didn't get into chess until i was 29 in 2021 I have started playing chess960 and i find it a much more enjoyable game than regular chess.
Great video friend! Thank you so much for everything! ❤
Thanks! Hope it helps in your chess journey!
Thanks bro. I'm currently rated 1000. But before playing more games, I focus on studying first. I feel like I still have many things to learn. Hope to reach 1600 soon.
im currently 1100 but im tilted over 370 elo and this video should help me push back up
Tilt is real! When you feel in full tilt, gotta take a slight mental break yo collect yourself again. Could be 5 min, could be a whole day. When you get back to it, clear away the past mistakes and focus on the now!
11:55 Mate in one with Qf5#
Great spot! I missed it in the game because I was seeing ghosts! But luckily both Qf3 and gxh3 were winning!
Just found your channel. As a beginner, I find your explanations really helpful, def subscribing
Glad you found the channel and I hope the videos help you learn all sorts of chess principles! Good luck with your chess journey
At 4:10 you can see the two arrows coming from the rook and at a later point of time, 11:21 you see those two arrows. Just goes to show how much effort he puts in these videos that he has a script written. The giant fork and a small fork also exhibit the same thing I want to show.
Sharp eye! I do prep quite a bit! I want to make sure these games give you maximum educational value that I can deliver so I try to do a fair amount of analysis and scripting before
You are more stronger than just 1600 bro 🥳🥳
One day at a time!
11:10 The knight is actually not hanging because the pawn is defending the bishop.
Hi, I just stumbled upon your channel, your dedication to the game is highly commendable. Thank you very much for sharing your thought process and journey you took to improve your chess. The way you relayed all the info in the video regarding your methods of improvements, thoughts regarding games were excellently presented. Instant fan and I have subscribed. Will try to implement what you have suggested to reach 1500 myself. Thank you so much and keep making such great videos and improving chess :)
Thanks for the kind words! Best of luck on your journey! It’ll be sure to keep the chess content coming! Breaking down my games as well as pro chess player games!
Helpful video, thanks. The best advice that I'll take away from this is "what changed in this position?", which I will now ask myself every time my opponent makes a move.
Im 1500 rapid. I used to be stuck at 1200 for one year despite putting in a lot of effort. (I guess i was the only 1200 who could checkmate with knight and bishop) and then suddenly i gained 250 rating points over the course of 1 month.
Congrats bro i just hit 1600 last Tuesday
Thanks! Congrats to you too! Let’s make that push for 1700 💪🏼
Well done! I am one victory away from hitting 1400, I had the chance to get to 1400 twice yesterday but failed both times. I have been playing for just 4.5 months. Wish me luck! My goal is to get to 2000 someday. I have beaten so many players with peak ratings of 1650-1700 that are just tilted
11:58, its mate in one, you did not see it ?
Not during the game! I was seeing all sorts of ghosts 😅 and I knew the other variation was winning so I stopped calculating down the other line!
What’s your opening reportiore? I am a couple games away from 1200 and the analysis rates me at anywhere from 1300 to 1700 but I still just play the London and kings Indian, (occasionally Caro kann)
I play these exact openings and peaked at 1682 rapid today so I’d say don’t worry about your opening repertoire too much
@@taslim_abd thanks for that. I’ll keep pushing. I always feel like I’m higher rated than I actually am since I win most of my games but just don’t play enough to reach my actual rating
One more thing, puzzles are plans. Know all the puzzles and you know all the plans. Also, pick a puzzle that you like and reverse it back to move 1 so you know what opening will get you to that plan.
i got from 600 to 1500 in one week
I rarely comment on a video. It was pretty good and I am impressed how much you saw for a 1600 like no joke. I have currently around 2000 elo and was thinking of the same moves like you.
@11:55 in that position you have checkmate in one move using your queen 👑
Good eye! As I said, I was seeing all sorts of ghosts after Qf3 and decided gxh3 was definitely winning so went with that option instead 👍🏼
i swear bro is much better than 1600, i started this year and got to 1600 rapid about 2 months ago and feel like kd would whoop me lol
Way too kind! You gotta remember that most of what you see are my highlights! Ofc I still post blunders or talk about mistakes, but in general, the games I post will be my better performances!
classic right triangle checkmate
Love from india .i reached 1600 in 6 months but now i have anxiety of how much i took time to reach 2000
Old geezer learning chess at 28, lol, I'm trying to learn at 60.
Good luck gramps❤
Love that! Chess is truly a lifelong journey! Best of luck on your chess improvement!
You were right about kids soaking up the chess like a sponge. I am a 13 year old myself, and after 6 and a half months of learning, I have achieved 1400+ rapid, 1600 blitz, and 1700+ bullet. I should tune into your streams more often lol, If you play viewers at any point I would love to play lol
Link to your account?
@@ColotJrAlex the username is Shlumpino. I can’t link it here unfortunately. I’ve been trying to climb very recently after a long break in rapid but it’s difficult when I play good games and then just miss simple mates that I have known for months
6:27 Ne7 is actually a very high class move
Amazing bro, make a video when you get to 1800 good luck!
Idk if this video applies to an 800 player (like me), but I hope it does!!! Thanks KD!
It 100% applies for 800 ELO as well! Good luck with your journey!
Good game , and tactics young man.
Thank you!
I started playing chess 6 months ago and currently 1671
I literally know only two openings and play mostly based on opening principles. I have no idea how I'm 1700.
Opening principles > opening theory especially for our level!
Nice game. I'm working on getting over 1000 after a few months of learning.
Thanks! You can do it! Keep up with doing your puzzles and you’ll get to 1000 in no time! And ofc remember to ask yourself “what changed”
@@KDlearns wdym
@@astudentinhighschool6041did you watch the vid?
wow, thats very impressive, 1600 in 2 yrs is awsome, GJ
thanks! still working on climbing more!
Man I started out and reached 1200s pretty fast, but now Ive stalled here haha. I guess 1200 is my real ranking
It will take some training but you can go higher!
It's not your real rating. After making a fast progress I was stuck for 3weeks at 1220-1250 and I thought damn I have never been in the same range for this long and boom then I hit 1300 and now I am a game away from 1400 and the fun part is that I was 1220-1250 around 2 weeks ago
Gg for 1600!
Thanks!
I peaked 1785 and came back to 1600s any suggestions??
Generally, make sure you’re playing your games with no distractions. No phone or other tabs visible! And as always, do your puzzles training to stay sharp. Oh, and ask yourself “what changed” after every move!!
I’m currently 1600 and trying to reach 1800. Do you have any tips that could help me??
Well idk about 1800 yet, but I only just reached 1700 myself. The biggest thing I’m noticing is that 1600-1700 seemed way easier than 1500-1600! Maybe people get complacent or being consistent has just helped me out that much! Consistency with puzzles, analyzing games, and you’ll be on your way to 1700+ in no time!
@@KDlearns 👍
i reached 1600 this month too
I play since February this year and i‘m already 1500.Hope to reach 2000
Nice
Started playing chess 20th January 2022 and got to crazy 1479 peak rapid elo in 4 months and 3 days. My progress was super crazy too. in one day I jumped from 1015~ to 1100 winning 11 games in the row. Rn I backslided and lost about 100 elo dropping from the peak of 1479 to 1365(rn 1401). All that was done without buying any courses and spending money on coaches.
It’s very natural to have some volatility in your rating! Great job reaching 1479 peak!
@@KDlearns dudee I just got to 1500! Also, I ment to say 20 th December 2022, not January
what openings did you use?
@@goofyahh7113 when I was 400-900~ I played Vienna as white and kings Indian/pirc as black. Then, I got really stuck at 900 for a long time and decided to switch to d4 as white, playing Catalan. Man, gotta say, it’s OP
And also started playing caro against e4, not pirc.
your eyes when you squint -.-
How long would it typically take someone to reach 1000 elo points?
You can reach it in 2 months. Some people 1 month. Some 2 weeks. Anything after 4 months is sketchy though.
I would say that the average to get to 1000 elo is 4 to 6 month, but if you play everyday, in 2 or 3 month you coukd get it
@@AnthonyHotBreadLIVE ok mb. I wasn’t very aware on the average time.
It really depends! Everyone has a different starting point and a different amount of time that they can dedicate to learning chess. I wouldn’t worry as much about how quickly you get to 1000 but rather your plan to do so! I highly recommend doing puzzles to improve board vision and learning to see tactical patterns. Following basic opening principles is more important than memorizing move by move
@@macdonaldnnadi I mean it really depends how much effort you are putting into chess haha
Thanks for the vid helped a lot
started at 300 and curretly 1400 in 6 months
Awesome progress! Keep up the good work!
I started around the same time, puzzle rating of 2700, but I hit 1900 in rapid recently. I wonder what's different. Also 2700 is not super gm, 3300+ is.
Super GM rating in OTB is 2700+. Just a joke I’m making to claim super gm status in puzzles (ofc I’m not). For our difference in rapid, maybe calculation is one of my strengths, but I have other weaknesses! I know I need to work on clock management and endgames so been trying to improve there
Great work man congrats 😁😁
Thanks!
My number one tip to 1600 players is to learn from your mistakes by analyzing your games, especially those that seem to repeat. Learn the best moves in the common lines of the systems that you usually end up in (no need for endless chess literature at this rating). Also if you play online, don’t do tournaments. They are terrible for rating.
He thought he had the big fork but he kind of had the little one 😂
love when this happens to my opponent
As a 1000 rated player, what percentage of time should I spend on games, analysis, and tactics in your opinion?
11:55 if rook comes, there is Qf5#
Correct!! I was seeing ghosts and just went for the other option which I knew was still winning!
I'm currently one game away from 1600
Good luck! Focus up and eliminate distractions for that game!! (And ideally future games as well)
Just hit 1500 in my first year
Wait... What does the scouter say?...
I'm sitting at 1300. Almost there!!
3 things. Openings puzzles and game analysis. But that's pretty much online chess. Here's the truth. Only one thing matters. Puzzles. Puzzles teach you everything. Except you definitely don't know how to do puzzles if you've only done 10k in 2 years. You are only using the classical time control for puzzles when you should be blitzing out puzzles 200/hour.
amazing video, but why do people take so long to get 1600? I started 6 months ago and now I have 1730 rapid rating.
Everyone is on their own journey! Different amount of time available to dedicate to chess, different strengths, etc. And congrats on your quick journey up!
@@KDlearns ok thanks bro and congrats u too
1730 rapid lichess
@@BMWE-hm7uz now im 1830 lol
yo can you give me some advice , i am stuck in 1400 elo
…Rf8 also hangs mate in 1
In the symmetrical vienna just get your queen out
Puzzle is most effective
I truly think that’s the #1 thing that helped me improve during this journey!
I am 2070 after playing for 1 year and 2 months
Congrats! What a fast journey!
I just use stockfish.
im 700 on blitz, what do you think my rapid elo should be?
Anywhere 700-1000. Just depends! You should definitely play rapid for improvement though!
Should I do puzzle battles?
Honestly I do more puzzle rush survival and rated puzzles than puzzle battle. Battle is a lot of fun though and I’m sure it still helps
@@KDlearns puzzle battle is basically the same as puzzle rush but in puzzle battle you play against Someone and in puzzle rush you do it by yourself
@@Jusio Puzzle rush survival allows you to take time on each puzzle. Being able to focus first on accuracy instead of speed really helps your improvement, too!
1 year maybe or little bit more reached 1700 not doing any of that
1:33 How do you determine which pieces are defending the king? Why is that pawn defending but the bishops and rook aren't?
Diamond membership helps you get to 1000 elo in a week. The free trial is clutch. Using chessable helps you master your favorite opening.
other dude had 58 seconds left...you could have flagged him if all else failed
Yeah I like to sack my queen in those games to give them a false sense of hope 😂
i am 1605 finally for 10 minute games
So, I am 1204 rapid and i started at 512 in December 2022, how good is that jump?
Pretty good
That's likeeeessseeeeee
688 points up I think
Started in March I’m at 700 now
Keep up the good work!
At 11:50, when Qf3, isn't Qf5 mate?
Iam 2148 how could i improve.
Why ask him that?
Isn’t 2 years is lot for only 1600 ?
Depends on who you ask! As an adult learner who worked 60-70 hours a week at my job for the majority of these two years, I feel like 1600 is a win!
Mimmic moves aren't playing chess, just practice.
