Really like how much respect Jerry gives his much lower rated opponents (1390 in this case). He doesn't go for cheap tactics or a crazy/unsound attack, but plays and analyses as if he's playing a master.
Dear Jerry, I "learned how the pieces move" as a kid and lost chess for years. Now I'm in my 30's and have become interested in chess again. A few months ago an Agadmator video randomly showed up in my recommended feed. He INSTANTLY got me hooked on chess again and I credit him for that. But after about a month of faithfully sponging up only Agadmator videos I decided to see what else was out there in the wide world of TH-cam. Found other great teachers like Mato, and then I found your channel. Now I really love watching your channel among a few others. It's all new and exciting for me - there was no internet/technology when I encountered chess as a kid in the 90's. So yeah, I am an adult beginner - don't know what rating I would be but I can just beat Magnus age 8. Too scared to try age 9 yet still, I'm getting better at playing the younger ages. It's just very fun being a beginner and learning about/admiring great chess players of both past and present. Your style is educational and interesting and I thoroughly enjoy your content. Thank you Jerry for making chess interesting for me! I wish you the all the best in 2018.
Hi Jerry, yes, a step by step method would be great. I just looked up this series on your channel and I will watch and study them all! Thank you for the suggestion.
~1700 at best here. I can relate to your moves in almost all the openings and throughout most of the middlegame; it’s when you launch into endgame at bullet pace that you lose me. In any case thanks for ALL your commentary. I sometimes wonder if you sacrifice accuracy and time in the tourneys for it?
Everybody knows Jerry. 52:53 Jerry attempts a castle of his queen. "I'm cool with double b-pawns, 'cause my rook will be happy." Fun drinking game: every time Jerry uses the sunglasses emoji, buy a chess set and throw it into a bonfire.
Hey Jerry, are you going to review that AlphaZero game where AZ sacs the exchange in order to lock Stockfish's queen in the corner? Amazing stuff, especially after watching it neutralize bishops in its other games. Or did you review it already and I missed it?
I was thinking rook on f1 takes f7 with check. Rook recaptures, knight recaptures. The light-squared is defending from a2. Knight takes would also be throwing a punch at the queen. There is nowhere the queen can move to defend h6, so if the queen moves, it doesn't seem to matter where she goes. Jerry's queen can take h6 with check. If I'm seeing it correctly, it's mate in 1 if the king backs up, and it's mate in 1 if the king moves forward. Kg8 is met with Qh8 with mate, and if Kf6, rook to f1 is mate. So in that case, if black tries to avoid a mating sequence, the only way to do so that I could involves sacrificing the queen. This variation seems to be the forcing that I could think of. Otherwise, if the rook takes f7 with check, and the king goes to h8 to try to avoid that sequence and a discovered check sequence, in that position, Rh7 also = mate. gg
Nice tournament performance as always. You might have forgotten about your bishop on a2 in the grand prix game, looks like Nxf7 would have been crushing (34:40).
Jerry what is your best series for learning about your journey/reletionship through/with chess over time? I've been playing chess for a couple decades now and can only imagine the trajectory of your career. Big fan btw keep it up
Jerry! Just think about this one move at 34:41 that caught my eyes. What if you consider Rxf7? Or even Nxf7 right away? Forcing the black rook to take otherwise you would give mate. Peace to all. And have a nice year full of love and chess.
I'm quite sure he was. Almost all his moves were 4-5 secs and were decent, but when he was down on time, as Jerry said, quality dropped a lot. The lack of "pre-moves" on very obvious moves, I think gave it away as well. I would bet on an engine not set on top difficulty.
ChessNetwork and after 13. ... exf5 you missed Bg5! (Re8 Nd5 and if Ndc6 trying to defend the piece Nf6+ is crushing) Well... atleast thats what stockfish told me ;)
I actually prefer 5-minute games. I'm not a good chess player and it's difficult for me to follow the action in 3-0 games. My favorite, though, is classical- Jerry articulates his principles and hypotheses in much greater detail when he has the time. It's the hi-def version of commentary!

I think there might have been a few clowns in this tournament

+BMessemer Great to read that. If you’re looking to learn step by step, there’s a series Beginner to Chess Master I’m working on.
Hi Jerry, yes, a step by step method would be great. I just looked up this series on your channel and I will watch and study them all! Thank you for the suggestion.
ChessNetwork time to look that up that series ,never played chess before but I enjoy logical thinking,and seems like chess is something I would enjoy
Jerry, download the Magnus app and do a Chessnetwork vs Carlsen ages 5-27 series. Would be great.
Shikhar Davla good idea
awesome idea! that'd be sick, how far do you think he would make it through? Magnus 12 maybe?
That's tough to answer, Snw
This would actually be great thou
I crush magnus 90 - 95
Jerry for president
Jerry/Ferrari 2020
13:39 First time I've ever heard Jerry swear.
😎
Penguin signed up but then got cold feet because he knew you'd style on him, Jerry.
I'm so happy to be back watching these. I missed Jerry's content!
I'm always on the lookout for your old nemesis Ferrari. The dude would always berserk and make it exciting

Jerry you are a wizard as per usual
Great video as always! Your commentary throughout was fun to listen to even for a super casual chess player like me!
Thank you...both! :)
Hey Jerry, are you going to review that AlphaZero game where AZ sacs the exchange in order to lock Stockfish's queen in the corner? Amazing stuff, especially after watching it neutralize bishops in its other games.
Or did you review it already and I missed it?
at 34:41, knight x f7 pawn, with winning attack was missed and then you said they were 'defending with precision. ', or did I miss something?
I was thinking rook on f1 takes f7 with check. Rook recaptures, knight recaptures. The light-squared is defending from a2. Knight takes would also be throwing a punch at the queen. There is nowhere the queen can move to defend h6, so if the queen moves, it doesn't seem to matter where she goes. Jerry's queen can take h6 with check.

Big fan btw keep it up
Thanks Sean. I don't really have content out there like that. I have however shared my first tournament game. th-cam.com/video/rJyzU4psRBc/w-d-xo.html
Hello Jerry, what do you think of the Bird Opening?
Eh. Moving the f-pawn so early...be careful.
That game against suwoo was definitely "weird".
Hey Jerry I saw you comment on Gracie Breakdown. Do you do BJJ?
22:48, after Ree8, there was a tactic for white - Rxh3, and after white retakes with the rook (Rxh3), a knight could fork the king and queen on g4.
White gets 2 rooks for the quuen after qxh3
Jerry, just wondering on your thoughts of playing an immediate c7 to c5 to c4 in the French advanced for black
Your uploads make my day :)
Jerry! Just think about this one move at 34:41 that caught my eyes. What if you consider Rxf7? Or even Nxf7 right away? Forcing the black rook to take otherwise you would give mate. Peace to all. And have a nice year full of love and chess.
was suwoo an engine user?
thugnificent very likely
I'm quite sure he was. Almost all his moves were 4-5 secs and were decent, but when he was down on time, as Jerry said, quality dropped a lot. The lack of "pre-moves" on very obvious moves, I think gave it away as well. I would bet on an engine not set on top difficulty.
31:20 engine user?
No. A good player who defended well. I missed my opportunity after h6. I had Nxf7. I forgot 3 pieces were attacking that point.
ChessNetwork and after 13. ... exf5 you missed Bg5! (Re8 Nd5 and if Ndc6 trying to defend the piece Nf6+ is crushing)
Well... atleast thats what stockfish told me ;)
ChessNetwork Their account has been removed from lichess. The excellent defense can be attributed to Stockfish.
Really? He was banned without real proof?
AdamReddick No, no it hasn't lichess.org/@/juketsuu
Stop the paranoia
I don’t know where in PA you live, but it was almost 50 here in Fleetwood.
13:34
Ouch!
Nice tactic
At 36:34 can someone explain why it was a blunder?
Ninnifier O.o
After ...Na2+; Na2
1. ...Qf4 (what happened in the game, piece up)
2. ... Re2; Rd7 (rook up, with mate threats)
3. ... Rd3; Qf7 (mate to follow)
Brennen Chua why couldn't ...Rxd3 and then ...Rxd2 after pawn recaptured
Ninnifier O.o Qf7 is check
26. ... Rd3
27. Qf7 Kh8 (forced)
28. Qe8 any
29. Rf7 mate
Hey, Jerry! Since you live in PA, are you a Steelers or Eagles fan?
+Guillermo Azuara My team is the Browns
Oh my god, Jerry... So sorry
Jerry2020
why was his time so short in his second last game?
If you berserk a game on lichess you get more points but get half the time to play.
If you play one minute games, why are three minute games harder for you in terms of time?
You didn't get the last game's point???
Bc5+ instead of d6 in the last game won an exchance because Rxh2 and Qh4# . maybe not that bad after Rf2 Qh4 h3 Qg3
great skills, Fun to watch ! Thx for Sharing :-)
When Jerry asks for pepperoni on his pizza, I'm guessing they give him pepper, so if he actually wants pepperoni, he asks for pepperonioni...
Those chess ads are so intense. The music, man!
Atreyuguy590 My name is grandmaster mezgen amanov..
Atreyuguy590 *I know you want to get better at chess*
I wonder if hiimgosu was Aman Hambleton. Eric Hansen in first.
hiimgosu-v2 is wayyy too low rated for Aman
Whats jerrys elo
+Sakia Neumond I last competed in 2010/2011, FIDE low 2200,USCF low 2300
ChessNetwork thx I have 1800 Elo and almost 1900 DWZ (German Rating)
I love these videos.
3:00 Bg3 not winning there? Not sure if I'm missing something
9:33 Bishop b6 ? :D
Oh nvm you talk about it sec later :D
The player hmmmmmm lost to a user who used computer assistance. Look at gunnar304's lichess profile....
Ok Howard Stern ACTUALLY plays chess???? Proof please?
chesstosterone.. legendary username
44:28 if 9.h3 then ...Qxh2#
I think you need to use colour correction for your streaming software, everything looks pale.
**Chants** Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Jerry seeing engines everyone lol
Boss is playing. Great
PA is definitely not the most beautiful state in the union. Sorry Jerry but that title belongs to New Hampshire.

Go Jerry!
Notification squad is here
i didn't get notification on this video. weird
Great video as always. Like if you prefer bullet to blitz. Comment if you prefer blitz to bullet (1st comment haha)
