Homework spoiler ahead: White rook is in an absolute pin. Black 1...Re5 2. Kc4 Qc6+ 3. Rc5 Rxc5+ black queen quards against check on d7. Black 1...Re5 2. c4 Re3 skewers Queen and King. Any other white move and black rook captures rook and black is up a whole rook.
One thing i have started doing is counting the ply for each candidate move/response. This helps ensure that I calculate opponent moves and makes it easier to keep track of where i am in the move tree. I always try to count until an even number so I know I have calculated an opponents reply
@@Dr.CansClinic Do you think it is a dumb idea or not useful long term? I am trying to see if there are any drawbacks to this practice once it's more automatic.
This is excellent advice. Simple to understand, but it takes practice to change one's previous bad habits! Homework. 1. Rxb2+ Kxb2 and black just loses the rook. 1. Qb6+ Rb5 and black Queen must move. 1. R e5 pins the rook in an absolute pin. if c4 then 2. R e3 will take white Queen. So this line is good. This seems the best. Yo could capture g2 with the rook but the rook pin looks the best.
I really like that you seem to understand that most of us can't calculate long lines. Not because we are lazy, or don't want to, but because we just can't! Most masters can't understand this and think that everybody can calculate as they do, or somewhat close to it. They think why???, it is so easy, I can see 10+ moves deep, how someone else can't see clearly for 4 moves deep... impossible
Wow what a nice video. I was thinking I can never become a good chess player because I can’t calculate too deep until I watch this video. So helpful, thank you!
1. ...Re5 pinning White's rook if 2.c4 Re3 if 2.Kd4 Qa3+ 3.Kd4 Qxd3+ loses the rook on d5 3.Kc5 loses queen on d3 since White's rook on d5 is pinned. 🎉
I bought your course and I'll be starting it very soon. If it works like this video, I'm certain it will help me lot, because the video was great for my brain. I need the kind of correction in thinking that you're offering. I found the same lines in the homework assignment as eschiedler.
Thank you so much for getting the course and your comments on this video. Right now the course has an Introductory video, but we are considering extending the video to all the main chapters at some point in the future. Please leave your review on it on Chessable :)
Awesome! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! I hope your chess will greatly improve with this course. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions on Chessable, I will gladly respond.
Thank you so much for your motivating comment and getting my courses :) I hope you will find great value in them. That is one of my course ideas actually, let's see when that can be realized!
i just found the channel and this instructif videos, i didnt play chess for 2 years, i forgot all that and when return to play , i play a lot of tactics and strategies but i feel frustated because i was good on finding a good move directely but now its very diffcult, but wth your videos remember me the foundamentals and all the important way of thinking in chess, another advice for those who read the comment look also when you openent made a move, if he take a weakness lke unprotecteded piece or a square that we can do some tactics or a weak square for an outpost etc etc or if he exchange a bishope and take a color of square weak that we can manuver and attack in this color easly etc, and do the same for you if you make move what can openent can do for you too, if its dificult to vsualze openent perspective turn the board and play in your head like if you are the openent , and with practice it will be so qicly to see all that , so thanx a lot for this vdeos, and dont give up just practice tactics learn strateges from games and book lke kramnc move by move of strategies etc , and it wll be ok sorry for my english too i hope that my comment is understandable hehe +1 suscribe for ths fantastic channel . +1 le for ths cool master ❤
Thank you sooo much for your detailed comment and feedback! I really appreciiate you took time to write this message. Motivated to produce more content for my subscribers! :)
@@Dr.CansClinic you are welcome , thanx to you for your generosity to share all those informations and instructive content with a clear and cool way to explain all that informations too , its very helpful for me too :)
My pleasure! More important than missing those, did you see why you missed them? Was it about not generating enough candidates on the first move, not looking at the strongest reply, or not setting the goal right at the beginning?
@@Dr.CansClinic On some not seeing all the candidate moves at all. On another seeing two candidate moves and choosing the wrong one, not seeing why the correct one was the complete calcuation and correct one.
The main skill I would like to learn is how to get my subconscious mind to "move" the pieces for me automatically to give me 2 to 3 lines maybe 3 moves deep for my "conscious" mind to evaluate. Once I acquire this skill I think i will hit 1500, but right now, when I look at the board, I have to "force" my subconscious just to see 1 move one line at a time!! lol
Chessable has a nice series called "Visualize" that may help tackle this issue. Also Step Method 2 Workbook: Thinking Ahead may be what you are looking for. Solving calculation puzzles in a slow medium where you really try to "see" a couple of moves ahead surely helps!
When you play everyday for yrs, I mean yrs. Not that you can calculate that deep. You have seen the position over and over and over. Or something like it. So you know automatic . I was a general contractor for 43 yrs. Everyday, I could calculate a project in thirty minutes to with in a few hundred dollars. Why, because I had seen everything so many times you just knew it. So play play play. Then look over your games and find out what you could do better rather than what you end up doing. You will see the same formations again and again. My thoughts
