Chess Improvement with CM Can Kabadayi 

Aww please do another colab at some point. You both are such wholesome and enthusiastic chess coaches/content creators ⭐️

Surprisingly together. The 2 best chess coaches in the world and authors, a separate gift, very pleasant people, the conversation is appreciated

Why is there 2x Andras in the thumbnail

What a power duo teaming up!!! The best 2 RU-vid and chessable chess coaches together 🎉😊

What a banger,can’t wait to see it until the end

my 2 favourite chess coaches

So great to see you two together!!

I tried to come up with an analogy, but these two are simply the best on line coaches you could have up to 2000. If I could only get the high school team that I coach to forget the eval on their phone and listen to the thinking process given here, we’d win everything in our grasp.

Subscribed to both coaches. Definitely a "banger" of a collab.

Stared playing chess in my 30s. The discrepancy between blitz and rapid is real. For a long time the gap was more than 400 rating points for me. After extreme focus on training tactics by doing puzzles I was able to get the gap down to about 150 rating points (1700 rapid, 1550 blitz), but have never been able to close it entirely. It's the time to think thing. I simply do not have time to work out the lines in blitz. I think it's because I don't calculate fast enough, which is one of the reasons I've focused so much on the puzzles. The more puzzles I do, the more chunks I memorize, the more shortcuts I can take during calculating and the faster I calculate. That's my logic. Anyway, enjoyed the video. Some very useful positions to study in there. Hope to see more collabs!

Please do more of these videos with both of you involved. Really great

Could watch these all day.

This is an awesome collaboration. These are the two best chessable course authors, no question.

Love pedagogical discussion

Great collaboration and thoroughly enjoyed, between the two of you you somehow seemed to bridge the knowledge gap from beginner/advanced beginner to advanced intermediate/advanced very much appreciated.

Dr can and Andros are great chess coaches ....

Great learning gems here gents!

Four minutes in and already a banger of a move with Rd1!

Coach, the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things is called "apophenia". That's not limited just to humans, animals such as chickens or dogs or cats will tend to repeat the behavior that had a favorable outcome even though that outcome happened by chance (Skinner's box experiment).

What a brilliant video. Btw, you're totally right at 39:16. Noticed that so many times. In my case the gap between rapid and blitz rating is 200-250 points (got interested in chess 5 years ago at the age of 20)

Actually Mr. Andras, today I coincidentally stumbled upon the Nh8-f7 reroute in the game Najdorf - Gligoric 1953, so I assume Fischer was familiar with this game and used the same pattern in his game against Korchnoi

More inspirational content from the Boss

amazing amazing video

I got completely called out at around 40:00 when you said that I look for safer moves more than I should. I don't snag the initiative as well as I should when it's unclear but I have a statically good position that I can fall back on

Hey Andras, when do you stream? I've logged into twitch the last 4 Sunday's at 8 when the schedule says you'll be there but you never stream, but new content keeps appearing here!

Hi coach just wondering how would you suggest a 1600 go about learning the ruy lopez with its entire labyrinthine variations (for context I'm playing it and learning it together) But it's a different beast with all its nuances in different moveorders and all the early Bc5 and b5 does me in :'( Edit: For context my goal of learning this is to *understand* the soul of the position and what is really going on in every variation, rather than learning moves and theory, and I find in this the Spanish is the richest.

Twentyhundred?

@ChessCoachAndras Andras, I like these collaboration videos. You and Dr. Can remind me of Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley. I think the Psychological phenomenon you're referring to on 26:38 is 'Operant Conditioning.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning
