Playing Chess Everyday Until I Hit 2000 Elo : Day 285 

yeah only play the opponents that are on a losing streak, weak stuff

Love how you keep improving your thought process and your game. Only natural that your elo is following. As a caro player myself, I enjoy the games too. But! The coolest thing is that you're staying humble during the process. Meanwhile, that other streamer keeps losing games and is convinced that he actually had winning positions. You're up 100+ points over him too. Kudos.

i always knew you could get 2000 because of your insightful thought process and all the questions you ask to yourself about the position

Just subscribed because I have been enjoying your videos. Wish you the best on your journey! Just curious, how many games do you play per day? Just one, or do you play long sessions?

At 7:40 the ending is super interesting. It is actually quite amazing that black is two pawns up and white is actually drawing due to superior king. If black's d4 pawn would be actually in d5 (not in d4), this would be easy win for black: Ke2 a5 Kd3 b4 Kd4 a4 Kxd5 b3 and black wins. As soon as black gets pawns to b4 and a4, white king cannot ever approach the queen side pawns without a breakthrough - black does not even need the help of the king to stabilize the queen-side pawns. The ending at 7:48 is crazy play. White has 28s left which is plenty. No way you should try to flag at this point. Once you bypass 2000, your opps will play speed up easily. You have a winning advantage with two extra pawns, and plenty of time to make great moves. It is also more educational, if you want to get better. At 7:50 Rc5 would be my move. White gains a lot of activity, so I would definately think how to stop that, especially as Kxd4 can't be played. Now black has ideas of Rc4-Ra4. White is forced to keep the rook at e2 to prevent black king from getting to center, and also the king at d3. White has no moves. In the long run, just sac the d4 pawn at the correct moment to create a breakthrough. At 7:55, I believe black should push. b4 Rxg7 Rb5 Ra7 b3! axb3 Rxb3+ Kc2 Rc3+ and white king has to decide whether to defend a2 or prevent d-pawn from passing. Easy win for black.

Almost 1900 !! Congrats dude

I love seeing this progress you’re learning your lines very well and it helps me a ton in my learning process the way you explain it! Keep it up!

Seeing that the end is near is such a depressing yet very excited for you Apex, the grind really pays off, the decision to play one game per video has really gained you a power spike

I love this channel it made me so much better at chess amazing content keep it up 👍

Damn, gone from 1700 - Almost 1900 in no time, keep it up

i made the same mistake with b6 in the panov where they push and got killed on the light squares

Good stuff man hope you hit 2000 elo soon

ahhh you are doing so good, so much fun to watch!!!!!!!!

1900 on the horizon. Let’s goooooo

I currently hovering between 1520-1550 elo right now. Any tips for getting past this region? My goal is to be around 1800 someday

I learned most lines of caro kann from your videos... continue playing this .. we both get better 💪

The 1900's are easier than the 1600 ....Great game!

Oh nice. Great games today.

steady puttin in that work 😎

Bro good luck on your journey to 2000 im a 900 and my goal rn is to reach 1000 im just too scared to play normal games as i might lose a lot of rating any advice?

Game review takes less than a minute to analyse the whole game, that's simply not long enough. A lot (well enough to make it unreliable) of the "best moves" aren't the best moves at all. It's a useful tool but it's a bit gimmicky and sometimes wrong. The engine is much more reliable if you want to know what's actually best. You just have to let it run for long enough to make up it's mind.

What a banger

Why are you not recording your off-camera games?

Nice

🎉

honestly it would be amazing if you hit 2000 elo on day 300…..

happy for you🎉🎉 pls make a detailed roadmap when u reach 2k for intermediates like 1500-1600 and share ur daily chess routine too like time spent on openings+puzzles+live gameplay and all the sources you followed

Ride or die with the Karo, love it. That was an instructive game, well played my man!

Don't stop the caro kann! We love it....

Another great game. I am never tired of watching you play the Carro Cann. I win most of my games using it while playing black.

I have been on the edge to start a chess channel in my local language for months now. Are there any pointers you can provide on getting started? Love the channel. Hope you don't stop daily uploads after reaching 2000.

Domination

first.. pin plz..
