If You're 800 ELO, Watch This. Rating Climb 791 to 845 ELO (Chess.com Speedrun) 

Same here - around 1000 and I'm watching in order because it's so interesting to see how the reasoning can adapt to the different ratings and playing styles. Best chess series ever.

stop abandoning games when outfoxed by opponents

Same but but 500ish,his thought process is so clear

they just memorized the opening

Yeah it must kinda suck for the lower players who spent time learning openings and getting good only to get destroyed by an undercover 2200

@@jebbush3130 yeah that's something. Not every 750 knows an opening variation i think

​@@lucaspanto9650on the other hand them not losing rating after the match essentially gives them free practise and a game against a strong player to review. i'd say it's worth the temporary loss in pride.

​@@phoenix402 they do lose rating. Nelson is playing a low rated account.

Theres a lot of people who are 1500 plus rating that smurf new accounts. No way was that a 700 rated opponent.

Why though 😂 I am not happy beating someone a lot worse than me. Like what do you even get out of it.

​@@elelonger4409I guess people like getting easy wins

I mean Nelson is rated what, 2300 and playing as 791? You never know when your opponent is climbing up with a new account or doing their own speed run…

@@gnarflethe difference is Nelson does it with permission and his opponents get their rating refunded

A lot of the time with calculations like what you're describing in your comment it just comes down to counting the amount of attackers/defenders there are on a specific square and then simply picturing what the position on the board would be at the end of the exchanges. Obviously you also have to consider whether the opponent has other moves besides following through with the exchange after the first capture, and if they do, knowing what potential responses you have to those other moves.

Pattern recognition also helps in this case. By recognizing many tactic pattern, ideas, helps you to not put your energy to calculate every familiar lines, and able to focus on other variations quickly. Usually, most tactic that i knew of, starts from whether there are any piece x-ray/close proximity with higher value piece

I assume they played that line over and over and knew it well. One slip up and they got cooked.

You understand that to get over 700 they need to play 700 first

Yeah but for how long? Might be unintentional sandbanging​@@prepaidtrash5552

It’s gonna be him trying something new or doing a move that looks interesting for the sake of content then gets punished.

is that the first game? I usually play two nights so it could be good for me

​@@gavasiarobinssson5108The first game was some variation of the fried liver. To initiate the Rousseau Gambit, black would play f5 after white plays Bc4.

51% win rate is so good

It's not good. Youre just expecting your opponent to play bad and unprincipled bullshit.

@@bruhifysbackup It's not great against higher rated players, that's for sure

Think my first published rating was 946 and then pretty quickly went to 1300 or so. Stuck there for a bit and then 1700 was when it got much harder for me. And then again at 2000 took a while before finally hitting 2200 at my peak.

1000s dont play good either

@@CatSurfer but better compared to 700s

no it's not the only move

the king can move to d8 :)

I disagree try to give us as much advice as possible.

You are wrong. I do these moves since I was 600 rated because I watched a video about this strategy. I'm still a very bad player but learn these lines is not a notable thing

They can't.

Why

it is theoretically possible for 2 knights to get a checkmate, but only if the opponent makes a mistake and allows it. you cannot force a checkmate with 2 knights

Thanks
