I like your sensible philosophy. Most of us have wasted a lot of time and cash on the wrong things, including forgetting that this is one of the greatest games ever invented and should be played with joy and fun and the acquisition of mental agility, especially for seniors like me. Don't be afraid to play and likely lose badly to a younger person, (or bot, my fave is Maia, almost human). Just record your games and attempt to analyze, as best YOU can FIRST. THEN use machine assistance. That's the learning path.
I played this way against a seasoned chess player. I won twice, he won once & never want to play me again. Once I started taking his pieces one by one, he felt humiliated in front of his wife.
I see a lot of comments requesting certain openings whereas, from what I gather, Pegasus chess is all about just playing solid chess without any opening requirements. I find it quite refreshing to avoid the memorization requirements and just play solid moves.
That's true, I focus on playing solid chess and avoiding the 'trap' of memorizing variations. I do try to showcase how this 'solid moves only' ideology can be used in different types of openings.
I have already strengthened my game considerably after watching this channel for just a few days. But I have a question: At 3:41, after black pushes his pawn to d4 attacking the knight on c3, doesn't moving the knight to e4 (at 4:05) hang the knight, leaving it undefended and subject to capture by the black knight sitting on f6?
I play this opening, so this was really helpful. Optimise your pieces before pawn moves is a big takeaway. You had some nice calculation going on there too assisting some tactics I would have missed. BTW I watched your passed pawn lesson on patreon and did the exercises. Really excellent. Thanks for all this material. It's brilliant!
@Pegasus-Chess I just put a recommendation for you on Chessable, as there is a lot of bad feeling at the moment and users are looking for alternatives.
I Will, trying to figure out how to do that and also make it a good video. If I play rapid and explain my thoughts I end up in a winning position but down 6 minutes on the clock... If I focus on my play and barely explain it's not good as a lesson... Still need to figure out how to make it work so it's both engaging and educational
@Pegasus-Chess play a 10+5 rapid and just reduce the explanation in the game a bit and give more at key moments in the analysis after the game. Real players will throw more erratic curve ball moves and positions than computers
@Pegasus-Chess But your advice has helped me get back on track. I went up to a 1999 blitz rating two years ago and then slumped. Was sitting 20 points plus minus 1800 for the last few months, but have gained 50 points in the last couple of days just by reninding myself to be patient and develop pieces not suffer from premature attackulation (ginger gm phrase!). So thanks for the good advice! It's funny, I've advised plenty of players the same but have recently failed to follow the advice myself!
@stephenwells1559 Hey, Stephen -- I recognize you from Patrick's channel! I always find your comments insightful and instructive. Nice to see you here!

That's very true, good luck with your chess Journey
Good points 😃

That was great. Thank you!
Can you play the Jovaba London? Thanks
I Will!
I’m really enjoying your videos. Could you play the Sicilian, or Ruy Lopez in future videos… Thank you sir.
youre channel is so underrated
I'd like to see you play against a live opponent as well at some point. Loving the videos!

Hmm. But that f6 Knight is pinned to Black's Queen!
@@ibiwisi Ah yes, I overlooked that. Thank you. I still have so much to learn about this game.
Can you play the Vienna I'd like to see how you play it
Once again, a very good lesson.
Thank you!
Can you play the Ruy Lopez sometime, maybe?
Could you do Pirc for Black?
I will play it soon
I would really like to see the Jobava london. please
Good idea
Caro Kann Please!
I Will play this soon 🙂

Thanks for our feedback I am glad you're enjoying the Patreon lessons.

Yeah I have seen they're trying hard to monetize everything. Thanks for sharing, every small recommendation helps to push the channel forward.
3rd to comment 😬 Which means Pegasus owes me a follow 😮😅
Funny, "charming" as well.
FIRST VIEWVER!!
I really need to see you play against people, not computers.

@@ibiwisi cool thanks. It was commenting on Patrick's games that i was specifically thinking of in my last comment.
