No it's not. He's essentially saying play positional chess instead of overly aggressive chess. This is great advice for low rated players who tend to blunder a lot

I understand what he means. It's like, 'Wait for your opponent to make a mistake and don’t do anything foolish in the meantime.' The thing is, you won’t learn much that way. To win with skill and actually become more skilled, you need to put yourself in slightly messy positions and try to outplay your opponent there. That way, you learn more about the game and about your own strengths and weaknesses. It doesnt mean you always have to play risky. But if the position allows it, then go for it.
I actually disagree with that statement. There's always a time for tactics but you don't have to enter complicated lines when an equally as good option is more simple to play
It was fun, I started playing a year ago and was a very solid and happy player, about 2-3 months ago I started playing blitz (for the first time, never played fast controls before. Was 1600 rapid and 400 blitz when starting blitz) then started going for dubious lines to get quick attacks. Altjough it improved my calculation skills it worsened me as a chess player. I started losing motivation as I even lost to weaker players due to this new style and lavk of opening knowledge in these new lines. Just watched your for the first time yesterday and it reminded me where I went wrong. Love your playstyle as I feel it is well suited to me. Hope to see more of these lessons❤. Can you make a Colle System guide BTW?
Thanks for the shout out at the start! First class lesson. Liked the idea about not making pawn moves too early. Extremely useful format. Slowly the imprint of how to play is created. Much more effective than focusing on moves. How to play, there's the rub. Thanks very much!
New subscriber here. As others mentioned, you do an excellent job of explaining out loud why a move is good or not good. It really helps to hear your thinking process as you play. 👍🏻
Basically if you don't have the requisite visualization, calculation and memorization skills you won't get far with chess. Some cats got it, vast majority don't. Great chess players are mostly born, not made.
What's the value of disrupting the pawns in front of the enemy king? I suppose it depends on the pawn and situation does it? The consensus is to not to move any pawns in front of your king at all, yet I see quite a few games they are moving their pawns, or at least moving one. I'm confused around what move this is allowed, and the safest pawn to move if any (I assume the corner). Or does it again, depend on the situation? Am I allowed to move multiple pawns as long as they are protected, or pawns two spaces during the opening such as the Kadas? Or does it always inevitably leave vulnerabilities? If so, I was curious if-and-when it's worth sacrificing a knight or other pieces to open up the enemy king's side. For eg. is the middle pawn worth opening up pretty much any time?
Very good question, I will need to make a video about this. Every single pawn in front of the enemy king has a defensive purpose and every pawn push has the potential to weaken the structure. It depends on how open the position is, if queens have already been exchanged, what minor pieces are still present etc.
This is helpful as I am a beginner. When deciding what move to make do you first consider your king, then queen, then rooks, then bishops, then nights, then pawns? Is that I hierarchy I sense you using? Recently I have found myself very closed in and maybe it is because I have pushed my white pawn from e4 to e5 supported by a pawn on d4. I'm wondering if I'm pushing the centre too quickly to give me more space but it ends up restricting me. I think I've experienced a few pawn pushes and wanted to push first but it seems to close the position. I will endeavour to moves my pieces before pawns as you suggest.
Well, very interesting indeed! Certainly an unusual angle to apply and I have not come across it before!? Interesting that you choose the Scandinavian, but I guess it would apply to other openings as well?! Look forward to seeing some other openings of your choice done in this way!
The Scandinavian is one of my all-time favorite openings, perfectly suited to my playstyle. This 'thinking system' can be applied to any position, though some openings are naturally more tactics-heavy and demand a mix of precise calculation and solid move selection.

"you'll always win if you play solid moves only" is the same vibe as "you'll live forever if you just dont die"
Homeless? Just get a home ahh statement

I laughed for real when I read this
There is only 1 chess rule you must follow: do not wear jeans in competition.
😂
You will always win in chess if you dont lose
Love your series about pawn structures and different kinds of patterns, definitely one of my favorite videos about chess on TH-cam!
Thanks! 🙂
There is only one rule in chess:
Don't be checkmated 😂
Avoid “castling” on your opponent’s ‘side of attack.’
A way to avoid is to not “castle” too early.
A very good advice: don't push pawns!
Excellent. It is one of the rarest and most helpful things to get an instructive "thinking out loud" session like this!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for your comment, I will play Colle in my next video!
well described thank you!

Thank you, I always keep that in mind 'you can't move pawns backwards'. Makes you think twice before ruining your pawn structure
@@Pegasus-Chess Something to be said about being "reserved".
As always, wonderful video. Keep up the good work 💪👍
Many positions in chess require daring moves which work out barely. So "solid moved only" is quite limited as a general advice.
good analysis ❤
Perfect time lenght.
After Black plays Qd8, and white plays Qb3, isn't the white b-pawn suddenly vulnerable? You could try Rb6 to win the b-pawn.
Yes, Rb6 was better than Qd6

Mine is "do not check with your King"
