such a true story, I struggle to play a rated game when I get to another level in fear of dropping my rating. So then I just play a lot of non rated games to have fun and really enjoy it. I wish you all the best and just try to enjoy your journey some highs and lows just like life.
Exactly right, enjoy the journey!
I was stuck on 1600 for about 4 months after going from complete beginner to 1600 in 11 months by obsessively watching speedrun videos and playing a lot of games. Once I hit 1600, though, it seemed just doing that wasn't going to be enough to keep climbing. So I decided I needed an "unfair advantage" against the people at this level so I to started learning endgames properly. At this level, I think most people are fairly decent at openings and tactics... but lack proper endgame technique. Since I started studying endgames, I feel a lot more confident playing at this level knowing that if we get to an endgame, I'd probably have the edge. I crossed 1700 yesterday and I even won a rook endgame down a pawn against a 1735. At this intermediate level, studying endgames might just be the best way to get an edge. I don't know how good you are at endgames, but either way I'd recommend Daniel Naroditsky's endgame playlist on his channel. It's very instructive. Cheers, mate.
Never studied any end games other than checkmating with certain pieces, Thanks for the tip!
Fear of losing & the anxiety it has created has kept me from being the player I often felt I could be. I started the new year determined to find a path forward. I guess I'm not alone in this issue. Thank you for this video.
I think lots of chess players feel this, Good luck to you!
Nice TED talk, I think everyone can resonate with what you're outlining. In particular your identity/ self esteem getting tied to chess games can be brutal.
If you're entering a training arc, would love to see you try out some aggressive gambits. From what I've seen you mostly focus on solid systems.
Currently going through my own training arc and losing everything so good luck aha
I’ll check some gambits out!
Omg, I'm super excited for this video, i was really hoping for a video today and boom there it is, cant wait, thank you!
My pleasure :) Thanks for watching!
Great episode. This is why I enjoy watching chess, I can feel like I’m playing it but without the stress :)
I totally get this. I'm by no means a good player but I often don't want to play when I hit a rating milestone.
Relatable for a lot of people I think! Keep playing!
Hi, wow! You are already at 453 subscribers, good luck on getting 2000 elo
Appreciate every single one of them! Thanks so much!
So true! I wish you make more videos of the kind.
I might just!
Nice self-reflective monologue. Many of us have been there. GL with the rest of your journey, will be following for sure.
Thank You!!
I tilted HARD a few days ago. Went from 1620 to 1480😢 lol its so hard for me to stop when I keep losing, which is counterintuitive of course, but it just keeps snowballing. Glad i dont gamble! Haha
We need a training arc lol! Try to learn a new opening to reset yourself!
Good advice! I am getting pretty sick of the Vienna... I've been wanting to learn the Reti and or Jobava recently. Sticking with the Caro with black still tho lol. Love the Caro
The Caro Slaps@@OrionARS
Coming from a writing and art background, the discussion about analysing and training around 26:00 is really spot on because both art and sports can have the same problems when it comes to teaching newbies how to improve, right? As much as I love a lot of the big chess, writing, and art channels here on TH-cam and resources/communities elsewhere on the internet, they have a tendency to be like, "You should analyse your craft/games and then learning will have happened!" And while that's kinda true, if you're still in the learning or developing stage then it's not always obvious why something looks bad in art, sounds bad in writing, or why you might've lost a game or how your opponent might have outplayed you.
But yes. Been loving your journey so far, man. Hope you keep it up despite the setbacks!
Thank You!! Will definitely keep going!
You can see the described metric in the ratings graph, where the peaks are all higher on the even ratings (1500,1600,1700... Etc.)
Great video
Thank You!
Excellent video and Ted talk! ;) you make a lot of great points!
Thank You!
Like or Dislike: Like. This monolog addresses important topics, which I also explore albeit in written format. For example, "If anything, chess players are obsessive." (14:37) If the idea here is that professional chess players and amateurs who dedicate hours of their time to chess are intellectually stunted, I mostly agree, because more often than not it's the case that those long hours come at the expense of reading literature, contemplating existential questions, having meaningful social interactions, etc. "I do think there is a lot of personal growth to be found in playing chess." (27:18) Ostensibly, this contradicts the earlier statement. If there is "a lot" of personal growth to found, how is it manifested? Given that no one would argue a game like Tetris positively and significantly impacts personal growth, how is chess superior to Tetris in this respect?
Thanks for commenting! I fear the day your comment starts with 'Like or Dislike:Dislike' LOL
I don't necessarily believe the two points contradict each other, It's true that dedicating excessive time to chess, as with any other pursuit, might limit exposure to other life experiences, but that doesn't inherently negate the personal growth that can be had in chess playing. Personal growth can manifest by even dealing with some of the psychological pressures of chess!
As for any personal growth that could be found in playing Tetris, I can't speak to that 😆
i feel like i am on tilt. i was 1830 yesterday, and today i am 1780..
@@ImprovePath I just dropped from 1927 to below 1800!!
Making my way back up now, it happens to all of us
@@Turner_Chess yup.. 👍
If you are a noname at your computer playing a computer games with other nonames there is almost nothing less psychological and tilting and whatever, in your entire life.
Do you consider yourself a no-name? Also it is not just who you're playing against, but about the internal battle with your own expectations. Online anonymity doesn't diminish the psychological challenges and emotional highs and lows many of us experience in chess. Glad it doesn't affect you though, thanks for your input.
It's relatable for me i went from 1350 to 1250 in 3-4 days 🥲
It happens! You will gain it back!
@@Turner_Chess Thanks bro
