Thanks for watching - Please let me know if you have questions here and also if you have suggestions for topics and games you would like me to make a video about - let me know here!
I'm not sure the video answers the question posed in the title. It does take a look at impediments to quickly finding the best moves or ideas in certain types of positions but not really at *how* to overcome them. To look ahead (or "calculate") in chess is of course a difficult skill to master, and I certainly wasn't great at it when I played. I did my best to keep track of the position by (staring intensely at the board and) imagining the pieces on other squares, but my "view" would eventually become muddled, frequently causing me to backtrack or even start all over again. It would be interesting to hear what kind of challenges a future GM like you experienced in your youth and how you trained to become a better calculator :-)
Hi, I just watched your video and it was interesting and I learned I’m not very good at this 😊 I was actually really interested in something that I say in a ted talk by Maurice Ashley. I am trying to teach people that in business that it is useful to have the end game strategy like in chess and that thinking 5 moves ahead is not as important as knowing what end game you want to create. I was wondering if you had an opinion on whether you think more of the end game when you are playing or you do actually think 5 moves ahead. Thanks again for sharing really enjoyed trying to figure the puzzles

That is true! It answers a different question - my mistake and thanks for pointing it out.
I love your enthusiasm on chess. Great video
Thank You!
Your visualization is at a different level than explained by others.
I hope a good level - I try to use 1st order thinking when explaining (not easy) - so what is most important and so on...
in 2nd puzzel queen to f6 is also checkmate isn't it?
the sweetest gm for sure 😂🥰
En løsning kan også være T f4 efterfuldt af De4, ?
Do you have to memorize openings and gambits to become better at chess
A little knowledge is important. But understanding what is going on is usually more useful than memorizing variations.
Isn’t Qd4 just a checkmate in 1 for the first puzzle?
The queen can't go there on its first move.
I think rook e2 and than black rook e4 and queen e4
If possible can you please put links to the puzzles for analysis? It would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Hi Chase I don't have a link, sorry. I should probably start having the material on the GM Talks homepage
So I'm new to chess, but as far as I can tell (for the second puzzle) isn't queen takes e5 checkmate? Or am I missing something? Thanks for the video.
Black bishop on C4 and move to C6 and block it
@@masterac9768 Truee... but THEN queen takes, and that's definitely mate.
@@molliebradford7718 it’s supposed to be mate in 1, the puzzle was if you can find mate in 1
@@masterac9768 oh my bad. I forgot what the video was after 6 months.
Mere volume på din videoer - Den er lidt mudret Sune. Ellers er alt godt.
Hi Jesper Thank you! We are working on improving the sound and I might have to buy a new computer ...

I was thinking Qh2 Rh2 Rd6 does that work?
On the first puzzle
I think only solution is Bb2
