How I Got From 0 To 2500 ELO (the simple way) 

The simple way = study consistently for many hour every day for years and years. There's no way around it.

5:36 look at the kid with Glasses. Is that Fabiano Caruana. 🤣🤣 hola fabio 😁😁

2:10 Don't ❌ Doun't ✔ Love the accent 🤌

Wow cool story- sometimes I hate that i started chess with 30 years :(

i don't know why i cried like it was my child's story

No way u go against Gaia in the finals. Its like a movie script lol. had to be this way. awesome video. Just started playin chess and your channel has been awesome. I can see you grind the hell out of RU-vid, its showing. Your videos are great.

I started playing competitive chess at 7 and I left chess after becoming the second best player of my category at 12. The guy who came in first in the city was far above me (he was already competing with some of my teachers haha). I think that what you coach told you at such a young age (forget about memorizing everything in the opening) was a great pice of advice that I wish someone had given me. Btw, your glow-up between 12-13 to 14-15 was wild!

Love the dramatic story of growing up and chasing your dreams!

The journey is more important than the goal... the question (in this case) is more important than the answer... Sometimes it would seem like wish have no rival and would be the best, but as annoying as they are, a challenge is needed and motivating. Nice video and funny stories.

Thanks, I really like your way of explaining ❤

I have to say, there's something about your expressions that are incredibly funny. also I'm around 1680 ECF (roughly similar rating with fide) and in 1 of your other videos you mentioned capturing towards the centre (axb3 and hxg3 ) where you referred mentioned this upgrading the pawn, this is honestly something I had never heard explained before, always capture towards the centre unless you have a good reason, yes we all hear that but the explanation helps.

I liked the way of your speech delivery. It was iteresting and glad to know your journey a bit. I have been stucked at 1450 rating point. Yeah, I know, I have ability to make it 1600 at least. I need some motivation, so that I can concentrate consistantly.

Nice video, i just noticed at 5:40 , that's fabiano staring 😂😅

Charming way of telling your story ❤

This is impressive A really great story

Merci pour ce story. J'adore ton humour. Et ta façon agressive de jouer. :)

You are like the best chess youtuber ever!!!!! If i become gm one day, its all credits to u :)))))

Super! What a lovely story! But one of a lot of hard work and determination. Yes…in chess you should never give up trying to g to improve. You will always hit a plateau and even drop down. But if your determined and work hard enough you will suddenly find a rebound! Look forward to more of your video’s !

congratulations for your english!

My favourite chess youtuber just uploaded hell yeah!!

Inspirational 👏......keep going 🎉 ....

Beautiful story❤

I love the way you narrate!! It always feels like my elder sister is sitting in front of me and teaching me chess hehehe😅

Damn I was soo foccused on your words, this video was soo inspiring I really needed this, thank you!!

7:13 👌 agood journey miss Alessia

It's really amaizing thst you could be able to recover.

You told us nothing 😊

I've honestly been grinding for a year now, and im 1400. I'm a bit stuck, but it's nothing a few puzzles can't fix

If you can do BIM BAM BOOM and dont forget to take your FREE CHEESE MACARONI you can reach any elo u want 😊

Gaia! 😠 Let's get her! 😆 A very interesting story/video. 👍

You gain one more sub from me🎉🎉 Great job!

my favorite opening is italian game too in black i love scilian defense sometimes i will play queens gambit which is my favorite

@5:35 That's Fabiano at the back can't be wrong XD

What a journey!!

"the simple way" Start young Have support from your family Go to tournaments Read books Have a chess coach Ah, yes. The simple way. Of course.

Cute story! Really enjoyed it.

"I literally devoured my first tactics chess book." Go on, tell us how it tasted. :)

Lol shows Catalan when saying "No boring openings". I thought i was going to see the Philidor

5:39 is that Fabiano Caruana in the background?

Everything is fast about you. You speaking, playing chess and making videos. I had to pause more than once. But nice you got where you wanted to be. I'm enjoying your vids. Thank you!

We have to accept that it's different learning as a kid (even if you didn't study that much) and as an adult. Ben Johnson is King.

You just inspired me to play more and improve alot in chess🙏. And more importantly to not give up💪🔥

I bet when you looked back at your games you noticed that most of your mistakes was because of blunders. I won 11 games in a row because of a blunder checklist. I even beat someone that was 1015 ELO with it. My biggest win so far. CCT (Checks, Captures, Threats) wasn't enough for me. I spent $100s of dollars on courses looking for the missing piece of the puzzle. I thought it was tactics at first. I studied them every day for months and I wasn't improving cause I kept freaking blundering over and over. Once they stopped my rating began to climb and thought to myself that if I just play solid and wait for them to blunder I'll win. That's my new mentality and it's working.

Grazie ai tuoi video sono salito da 440 a 640 Elo in 3/4 giorni

Which is more aggressive and objectively better between Stafford gambit, Latvian gambit, and Elephant gambit? And why?

Great storytelling 10/10

excellent!

it's so exciting to hear her history, how she narrates... its a wonderful saga... she has bloody in her eyes... now i'm subscribed#

Thank you, very entertaining. Now I just need to climb off the plateau I’ve been on a very long time 1300 😂

Good storytelling. Love the accent too.

wahhhh! What a Spirit of Game and come back !!

I play chess every few days couple of games. And then I see this video, getting 2500 the easy way. Video starts with "I started playing at age of 9" lol... so its not simple way, means you're in chess your whole freaking life.

It's been like 3 months since I reached 1900 elo Still trying everyday to reach 2000 😂 Such a great video !!!

Caruana nella foto a 5:38... "no big deal" hahaha

Omg why didn't I think of that?! I just have to time travel back to when i was 10!!

Very inspiring.

Bellissimo! 👏👏👏

New subscribe here 🇵🇰 your way of describing is amazing

Do you and Gaia get along outside of chess? I hope your rivalry is not in all aspects of your lives. Life is too short to just be enemies.

I'm stuck at 994 elo 💀 can't touch 1000 I'm winning, reaching 994 then loosing again, I laughed when I lost and won and again lost and then won 6 times in a row😂

After 1 years since I played chess i granted 1k8 elo at first I can't beat Martin but i watching every video how to checkmate and then i win

Lovely pictures!!!!!🥰

It's just practice in a nutshell.

Nice and good story

"So I started playing chess when I was 8" yeah we are not the same

Gaia is seething with anger !!

This video is great

Great Video! But I can't say this is the "simple way" 😂

Basically she did in 1 year what i am trying to do since 4 years. Nice.

Thanks for this video

I love the riverly, "rivalry")

For me 0-1200 was just me playing with a classmate for 8 months, I'm currently 1400 and I haven't been consistently playing

this is so much fun, brava Alessia

i remember 10 years ago in Barletta when i read the pc in the tournament for my next opponent and i saw you or gaia in the next match, i knew that it was already over. 🤣

Enjoy your video

So after watching this video i can clearly say there is no easy way you have to give your everything.

5:36 FABI!!!!!!

A very fine example of never giving up on 1z dream(s) Guidance & Protection Mannerz & Respect Peace 1Love 2U Your very funny Balance

I had someone ask me the other day what my real rating is I said I don’t know I been playing for few months was horrible at first found some opening I liked now I try to switch openings but mostly focus on middle game and end game skills the last month I been at 60 percent win rate form when a I started at like 30 percent win rating I’m 500 right now starting at like 100 rating the highest level I have beat is 1600 my goal is to at least have game rating of about 60 percent or higher. I had two week period this month where my rating was no lower then 80 percent. My goal is to at least only make one blunder or no blunders. Sometimes I don’t get the miss yeah I’m not letting some take my queen with pawn I’m moving my queen but somehow it’s miss. I should say I played one FM and got destroyed in like 10 moves I wasn’t made my game rating was still like 80 percent they were just 90 percent. I should say I was nervous playing such high rated player

9:37 this tactic is definitely not my level lol double trade fork lol very nice to spot it on game

If you start reading a chess book how much time you should take to end it all???

9:42 I'm only 1000 so dont understand why the king has to move there? Can't they just take with the knight instead?

I almost went down the path of studying chess, then I realized I could learn a useful skill to make me money instead!

I just want to help with one word of pronunciation: rivalry rival - ry not Rival-ly The final sound is not an L Y, but R Y

Endgames❌️ Handgames✅️

Me who kinda learnt all the basics in 10 days

5:37 Fabiano Caruana

Bravissima! Chissà se presto diventerai anche GM!

ciao Alessia, quest'anno si farà il pogchamp ita? bel video comunque

Molto belle le foto di repertorio!

5:40 fabino
