@MInd724070 Месяц назад

There are a lot of your videos when "opponent" loses badly just by playing "natural moves", but at the same time you are playing crazy moves, sometimes sacrificing minor pieces and even rook or queen in order to win the game. So I think the question of how to memorize the chess opening was specifically about this. How to remember all the tricks that I can play in the opening and especially how to defend in case opponent is trying to use one of them.

@srf_devotee Месяц назад

It would be fantastic if you could apply these four questions to other specific openings as well. That would be a huge source of additional content for you. I'm always in search of chess videos that give me *understanding* not just memorization.

By YouSum Live 00:01:06 Understanding the logic behind each move is crucial. 00:03:09 Consider attacking moves to activate pieces effectively. 00:05:51 Utilize gambits to develop quickly and attack strategically. 00:12:53 Remember key questions: plans, piece positions, and tactics. 00:16:01 Common tactics include knight forks and exploiting pins. 00:16:36 Utilize knight jumps to create threats. 00:16:49 Capitalize on pins to target opponent's pieces. 00:17:27 Consider sacrifices to open up the position. 00:18:00 Understanding these tactics enhances attacking capabilities.

@eclecticexplorer7828 Месяц назад

I am seeing Stockfish recommending 3.Nf3 as the best move, just ahead of 3.d4. It is also associated with a higher win rate for white, both overall and in the Masters only database. So why is d4 nearly four times as popular among GMs? Furthermore, after 3.d4, 4.Bg4 is only the 2nd most common (both among GMs and overall) and the 3rd choice from Stockfish, after Qxd5 (1st choice) and Nxd5 (2nd). White's winning percentages after white's move 4 is as follows: 4.Qxd5 -- 51% for full db, 59% for GMs 4.Nxd5 -- 50%, 41% 4.Bg4 -- 43%, 42% It seems that Igor's recommendations here are in conflict with both computer analysis and real-world outcomes. Well, at least he gives us reasons for each move. That should help us all to remember the wrong move.

@jonshive5482 Месяц назад

It's probably fair to say that NMs and above have intrinsically superior memory, visualization and calculation skills compared to the vast majority of other players. As Russian chess trainer Mark Dvoretsky pointed out no matter how hard they play or study most will reach a plateau from which they can never advance but only recede. Basically one needs a certain "chess sense" which enables superior play. A handful of humanity has it, most don't. So don't be frustrated if you can't "get it," that's just the way Mother Nature rolled the dice.There are after all other things besides chess...

@user-ek8gs4ij4r Месяц назад

Memorizing only helps to a point anyway, as your opponent is sure to throw something bizarre at you a few moves in and you're pretty much on your own, but it still helps to have a good framework to work from.

17:08 That pin is so nasty, it's not just the bishop that's going to fall. It's actually impossible for white to save their queen. That position is just an instant resignation for white.

@Zamiroh Месяц назад

I find one of the harder things is practicing a new opening. Perhaps I should try some unrated matches or something. Try them against bots but it's almost impossible to get good practice in! Either the bot is like 1000-1200 and is way too easy, or it's like 2100 to 2200, which for me is way too hard!

Igor, on 15:00 you say its a common tactic to win the queen but you are absolutely WRONG. This doesn't work in this case because the king can move forward and there's no skewer possible on the white diagonal.
