Every time I try to do this, I do it wrong and leave my pieces open to captures. For example, I attack the queen and the queen gives me a check and forks my undefended knight. The difference here where I still found all the correct moves was that Morphy's pieces were all tied together so well. Everything defended and the pieces just fed off of their great placement. I think the message here is to attack but not with reckless abandon. It's so easy to find good moves when I'm following a video but when I'm the one moving the pieces, there's nobody there to guide me to the correct answer.
This is the single most informative chess video I have ever watched. All other lessons so far have done me just about no good in improving my game. I am now actively looking for these moves and taking them even if they are not always the best. Thank you and keep it up !!!
we should start a blunder club...no good players allowed. The Highest Rank will be BM...only the very elite of chess disasters haha I would be amazing.
10:50 Qb4+ Bd2 Qxe4+ winning the knight. Now if Be2 then hxg5 or if Qe2 then Qxe2 Bxe2 hxg5 winning the rook as well. Edit: Qb4+ Nc3 hxg5 winning the rook. 12:50 Nd8# CHECKMATE!

Just like the title says. This tip improved my game, dramatically, instantly. Now my mantra before every move is "how do I punch my opponent in the mouth?" Thanks for this. Great video.
You're an excellent coach. I've been learning quite a lot from your videos and your way of explaining every single detail that can help us improve. Thank you so much!!
l have been playing chess since a young age . Until now , l didn't know any openings and tactics . l used to always keep pressure on my enemies with mindset of taking their pieces . But l used to get demolished . See , this middle game tactic only applies when you are intermediate or advanced player . At first , you will need to have some basic concepts of chess . You need to think about your opponent moves more than making your move . lf you keep attacking your opponent blindly , you will get defeated easily . So you need to attack tactically which needs good experience .
i feel this example is very irrelevent coz there is alot of emphasis on not moving the queen in early stages and this whole game focuses on attacking the queen, now i know what he is trying to say that we should always attack but rather use a more realistic example for an analysis where we can relate to it like with a common opening where these sort of things usually happen not show us an example that might never happen
I teach chess professionally. Your videos and conceptual teaching elements are truely profound in their simplicity and effectiveness. Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting these. You sir are a way better teacher and (undoubtedly) better player than I! I’ll definitely recommend your training courses to others . Cheers.
I played against a lady who says she'd never lost a game before and she was a tough opponent but with the help of these videos I won three out of three games.
After Nf5 I think Black will play Qb4 and if white covers with the pawn,Queen or Bishop the knight on e4 is hanging.And if he covers with the knight the Rook on g5 is also hanging...I don't know if this is the correct move but I only simply follow your reccomendations :) ...Thanks and it really helps many in my games!
Yo i just watched this and a couple videos of yours and i gained 140 elo and 11 straight wins in 1 day, im now 1600 elo!!! Thank you man! Love your videos!
This video has explained me why in high level matches often players don't captured pieces (and why at 600 elo it keeps happen 😅). Thank you very much for this great teaching, now I'll try to do when I play.
I think that the shortcut is when you have a choice between two, three or four moves that all look good, choose the one that attacks and forces your opponents to drop their plans while they react to your threat.
Hai GM uncle I am a 12 year old kid but I predicted the all moves thou US but a I am still a 1000 rated player can you give advice through a video to get stronger 🎉 I am begging
Qb4+ if Nd2 then hxg5 if Bd2 then qxe4, Ne3 hxg5 Black is up minimum of one piece and this should be enough to win the game. The ending question is Nd8#
The move for black to win was queen d2 to b4 which wouldve corned the king into checkmate. i think, (still memorizing how the grid works) im unsure of if whites queen could have moved forward to defend in that siuation but even if so he didnt have very much defense since he went so hard on offense😅 it wouldve only take. One or 2 moves more. Im pretty new to chess lol so if im wrong feel free to correct me
I won my last three rapid games, and I didn't even do anything special 😕I made sure not to create unnecessary weaknesses. I watched out for my opponents' tactics especially those tricky knight moves.
