You're definitely going to make 2,000... just a matter of time (and staying away from the tilt!). Please keep recording your journey... your humour and honesty about the ups and downs makes it a great watch!
As a 2200 myself, there's a couple of things that I noticed and i think would help you in terms of feedback: I like your methodical process when it comes to evaluating whether a move is good or bad (checking the defenders of a square, if there's any checks etc.) It really helps you avoid blunders and checking if there are any tactics in the position. This makes sense, as tactics and calculation of concrete sequences seem to be be your main strength. The downside of this methodical approach is that it sometimes leads you into thinking too "concretely" and not understanding/appreciating the larger theme and the dynamics of the position. This can be problematic in positions where there are no tactics and where it isnt immediately clear which side is better. Although this was a pretty clean game, you can notice this tendency of yours even here. For example, in the game you immediately played 14. rfe1 without much thought. While this isnt a blunder, 14. d6! wins the game immediately, as after e6 be5 black loses a piece. My point is that if you look at the position after 13.g6, d6 should be your first thought, even if you dont see why this wins, as blacks king is still in the center and white wants to open him up as quickly as possible. Working on your intuition/positional awareness is your way to improving your rating imo, but great game nonetheless!
I actually did consider d6 right away but quickly rejected it because it seemed like I was just giving a pawn away but obviously that’s not true. Seems like I just forget other things in the position when calculating but hopefully with time it’ll improve
you kind of look like tarik. also good luck on your chess journey your content seems to be doing good. ur inspiring. also i love the way you talk through litereally every move and every thougth you have. its helpful for others but prolly helps you get better
My Dad's Rules covers that Mate-in-8 combo that you didn't see. He said (1) "don't be fancy" & then, (2) "Play the WIN that you see". That's EXACTLY what you did...without any regret. Beautifully. Now, you see why My Dad's Rules are so POWERFUL. Congratulations! This is just 1 of the many RULES that I teach in my videos & the WINNING is not accidental.

yo bro after u reach 2000, wont u do a journey to 2000 blitz or 2200 rapid or something like that?
Probably not man. I’d love to but it distracts me from actually progressing. The channel won’t end though there’s going to be lots more chess after
@@VoltzChess i think u should do more streams tbh

Thanks I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Also if you’re talking about that streamer tarik then it makes sense because he’s also of Turkish descent lol.
Nice and clean, we love to see it! Keep it up 💪
