How does that make sense? He allowed you to believe that you made a legal move, and just continued playing? I don't see how else you wouldn't know for 2 minutes.
Another mistake players make is forgetting to accidentally knock the board over when it looks like the game might be lost. You can use any technique you wish, but this one always works well for me: When you've lost some major pieces and the opponent is positioned for a lethal attack, go into a coughing fit, move your right hand to your mouth to cover your cough, hunch your head and shoulders down, then slam your left hand down violently to the board, scattering pieces all over. Next, say, "Geez, my bad, my bad! Sorry about that! This stupid cough just won't go away!" Remember: cough, cover, hunch, slam. Enjoy the match!
The Queen is the most powerful yet prominent chess piece, it's only worth using it for particular so for your own sake, never sacrifice it for a chess piece with smaller value compared to the queen
When someone threatens a piece of yours, then you threaten your opponent, but they block that threat with a counterattack and you have two threatened pieces.
BIGGEST mistake ever: waiting too long for your opponent to move, only to realize that you are alone in your room and you don’t even have a chess board.
Another huuuuge mistake is when people play chess when they're tired or hungry or dehydrated. if your brain's not in a good condition to think then don't even bother, you're just gonna lose rating points for no reason
***** yeah, ive found its best to take a day off from chess completely when this happens. usually like once every 2 weeks I gotta take a day off. also important to always keep the brain fueled with some food and lots of water before playing
Uchiha Madara Your right playing 8 games in a row for 4 hours, I started loosing towards the last games, could not think of great moves like I normally could.
Yup chess is a game that completely depends on your mental condition.I always win my games but by chance if i lose i start losing all the games after that on the same day.
@@prettyboytwink yeah, the Doctor berated me for a good while when I went to her after it started for like 3 months. I saw the X-ray of my stomach too and I'll tell ya it was not that all pleasant even if it's just black and white
My remedy for a losing streak is just to watch a few of these videos. They're so easy to understand that I can actually remember them in a game and they always make me feel like a better player (not something I can say about most RU-vid chess channels I've seen, where they often assume something is obvious and won't explain it when it is not at all obvious to beginners or even intermediate players). Just keep doing what you're doing, these videos really do help.
Watch the Grand master games as well that’s what I do when I don’t want the anxiety of competing I’ll watch how the pros play or I’ll just do practice puzzles There’s a lot ways to Enjoy Chess of course playing is probably the most satisfying but the alternatives are enjoyable as well
One mistake I see players making is going for an "ingenious" way to checkmate the other guy by sacrificing all there pieces and getting all tactical, unless the plan is definite don't do it, just obtain the advantage and go for an end game, you don't need to finish it there and then.
Hmm and your name is Land of tears? That just discouraged me from following your advice! Ha ha! Jk. No but it's probably true what u say. However less entertaining? Oh well.
+TheLandOfTears haha I always try to use these types of plays and make it too complicated where all the moves have to play out perfectly just because when it works its beautiful. But in a serious game, not recommended.
its not so much being too tactical as it is not knowing when to be aggressive. it is smarter to go for agressive plays when you are ahead, but when you're behind, you want to stall the late game as much as possible
You're highly incorrect on this theory; this is actually a very good plan for the right people. Focusing on several pieces at once can be tricky, much easier to focus on in an endgame, which is what they try to do, spoiling your traps and plans in the process.
#4 think about opponents plan. Dude please. I dont even have a plan, and i can think max 2 steps ahead, i cant absolutely think about the other dudes gameplan 😂😂
I want to add something to the Queen mistake. When you bring your queen out it's essentialy an easy way for your opponent to gain the initiative and chase you all the way on the board. Don't forget that.
I’ve played people who tried the Scholar’s Mate on me. Ironically, I sometimes lost due to my cockiness in how much of an advantage I had in development.
Şiyar Yea opponent will try to chase your Queen if you bring your Queen out early ..BUT Make your Queen out early make your move wasted..what I mean is you try to 3 checkmate move then black try to bring out his knight to defend and stop the e checkmate move..you just waste your move and your opponent has an advantage because its defending and setting up a traps in one move ALSO When you bring out your Queen..there is about a chance your Queen Cant survive the attack like the Queen is in trap..it cant run beside eating the material..this will make opponent have an a great advantage tho..so I recommend not to bring out your Queen early.
I always finding myself moving pieces for no reason. After opening, I'm often unsure as to what to do, so I just move bits around. I guess the answer to what I should be doing at those times is found in your midgame videos?
I am better than most people at chess. I am not better than anyone who plays tournaments. I'm also probably not better than most people who regularly watch your channel because they're trying to better their game. I'm a casual player and grew up with the game. So, I have a general trap of sorts, I often bring my Queen out early if I'm playing an opponent for the first time and they think that they're good. When my Queen is whipped out early they can only assume immediately that i''m an idiot and instead of doing what you say in this video - steadily developing their pieces - they always go on a queen hunt and they end up losing. If people think you've made a blunder because you're a complete amateur, it is a great advantage but of course you can only do this once against the same opponent. I would not try it against anyone I knew was very good. Thanks for making videos!
I had a tournament caliber friend who used queen openings gauge people as well. I destroyed him our first game. then he never did it again and I only beat him like one out of 10 games.
Because most people who play chess, suck at playing chess. There are millions of people who play chess as kids a little and almost never play again as an adult. Some people play once a year on average. I would bet the farm Derek J. that I could not beat you. How do I know this? You're reading AND responding to comments on a yt chess channel. I bet you're pretty serious about the game. No?
Very good! I would absolutely agree that you nailed the top 8 mistakes made by beginners. I would be interested in seeing a similar video about the type of mistakes more advanced players make. For instance, I'm often blind to Queen attacks along the ranks after she has moved to the edge of the board. We tend to think of the Queen as attacking FORWARD not so much sideways. Also, the classic sacrifice that begins Bxh7+ followed by KxB and the all hell breaks loose.
I'm going back and fourth between this video and a game of online chess. I made a move then had to wait for a notification for the opponent to make a turn then came to the video. The first mistake is moving your queen to early. I now get a notification that the other player had moved I go back and my queen is out in the centre of the board!😂 Love ya!❤️
#4- I literally lost a game today with a move that was almost exactly like that. I just started playing recently and I sometimes do get a lot of tunnel vision. The hardest part about playing is that when you see a "free piece" that has nothing threatening around it, especially a piece as good as the Queen, you instinctively try to go for it. I forced my King into a check mate situation by something like this, and it's so frustrating. I pretty much have all of these mistakes taken care of for the most part, but #4 is definitely one I need to work on the most. I always get excited and get "in the zone" with what I'm doing and making sure to react to what he's doing, without thinking about what his overall plan might be.
"Derp I'm a grandmaster with a 1350 rating and so this is a terrible video because I already know it all!" Beginners are allowed to have videos for their level too.
@Shanaya @Hikaru Midomiya are you stupid ? can' t you see he is mocking people who are bashing the video just because they know this things already ? he is not claiming he is a grandmaster at 1350 lol. he event put that part in quotation marks. But you obviously can't read with comprehension.
Thank you for speaking English clearly! So sick of these men with horrendous accents over talking, repeating themselves, and wasting my time. Succinct and to the point. Thank you!
I would like to see a video on how to exploit your opponents misstakes in various common openings. Your opening videos are great, but they all assume the opponent will play certain lines (because they are the best and most analysed). Would love to see you make one or many!
playing too blitz/bullet games is a huge mistake as well especially if you're a beginner. I freaking went down over 100 points today on blitz simply b/c I played too much and was tired. so annoying.
I played like 10 games the other day, and had a massive headache at the end of my session. Took two tylenol and a shower, fixed me right up. Then back at it for one more game, because I couldn't go to bed with a loss! :)
I kind of agree with Bobby Fischer, chess is more interesting between lesser players who haven't memorized every opening. For high level players, Chess 360 solves this to a degree. Good video for beginner players of the standard game.
+Hans Power Only if the opposing queen is still on the board. Once she's off the board it's generally safe and can be a good way to help attack the center as well as put pressure on the opponent's castled king.
I have seen one women's game when suddenly at a crucial moment it was discovered that the winning beauty was having both bishops running on dark squares. The laughter that rocked the hall still rings in my ears!
A very common mistake I see from beginners in trying to develop the rooks with moves like a4->Ra3/a5->Ra6 or even h4->Rh3/h5->Rh6. You should generally develop your rooks by castling and by waiting until enough of your other pieces are developed that you can move the rooks along your back rank to an open or half-open file, not by trying to sneak them around your pawn line along the a & h files in the early opening.
1:52 I had my opponent play an even worse version of this opening. the first two moves were 1.a3? e5 2. h3? Nf3. I won about 30 moves later after the opponent blundered their queen and then ran out of time after I pinned their king and rook.
Another common mistake is not having a plan at all. i see beginner players play very, very defensively to prevent their dear pieces from being captured, hoping for their opponent to make a stupid mistake.
#8 Bring Queen too early #7 Not focusing on center #6 Not castling #5 Not protecting the king #4 Not thinking what the opponent is planning #3 Moving pieces twice #2 Stalemating when you could easily win #1 Fall for traps
that last segment on "traps" is incorrect -- white can avoid mate by advancing the g2 pawn to g3 (instead of moving the knight). This prevents the black queen from moving onto the H-file. Black g4 pawn takes f3 knight, white queen takes f3 pawn --> the games is even, each side has a knight and a pawn. Note: before the white queen takes the f3 pawn, it's preferable for the white b5 bishop to take/trade the c6 knight -- this is because if the white queen takes the f3 pawn first, the black c6 knight can move to d4 and fork the white queen and bishop. The white queen's effort to protect the bishop on d3 is ill-advised since the black queen will be just use a couple moves to get to the H-file (g5, then h5) and get mate.
My mistakes aren't listed! My biggest mistake, very new here, is to not look whether the next devastating move I make is to a square where I can be immediately taken! Dang, yesterday I was playing, got taken by a knight, pressed take back made a different move and got taken by the same knight! I was playing while half asleep, so not waking up and taking it as a fight was the real mistake. I noticed an even dozier mistake today, I moved my queen to a square thinking, I've forked the bishop and the king!! Yay go me, but forgot that the bishop could take me too! Am I the only one who finds it hard to concentrate. But I guess it's like learning to drive, there is a lot to take in at the start. So many things to think about and experience is the only way to learn. I started listing the checklists people put out, like 'King safe etc..' But I think a good strategy is to notice the dumb mistakes you keep making and put that at the top of the list!
well since the knight has to move (or you will lose it) the queen will come down to h4. Now if you put your knight to h2 the queen can take and it's mate, or if you move your knight to another square than h2, queen to h2 or h1 is going to be mate. Basically you have to give away your knight (which means you certainly will end up losing because you are down material) or lose the game immediately.
I improved considerably when I studied tactics. In my opinion planning and positional play are pretty useless if you don't have a strong command of tactics. The analogy I would use is like a soldier wielding a sword and marching slowly forward (planning). Now, if he understands little of tactics... it's kinda like not knowing what to do with his sword if he ever reaches his goal... which he probably won't!, because mostly likely before then, he's gonna end up with someone else's sword shoved up his ass.
deepskyblue well you see, the joke was that watch mojo makes a lot of top 10s and they have run it into the ground, so I was making a referential joke, that may accidentally be perceived as comedy
Another mistake is playing hope chess. If you make risky moves and hope that your opponent doesn’t see them then you are not going to go anywhere as a player.
Just played this guy online , he is winning by number of piece but I have the upper advantage . Then 5 mins later he starts acting all cocky by saying good game stuff like that, and then 1 min later he resigns , and i tell good game and wink then exit. XD #bestfeelingever
Not sure why but as a total beginner I keep forgetting that my opponents King is also an attacking piece and I'm momentarily shocked when it takes my piece when I'm trying to apply pressure. For some reason I have it in my mind that it's just a target and can only run away.
Brand new to the game, haven't played since grade school. There are always assholes do do the Queen/Bishop blitz, and now I know how to deal with that BS! Thanks!
Michael Bloom try playing at chess.com and study tactics, your game will improve. Check this out. Tactics Theme www.usefulchess.com/tactics/forkpin.htm 10 Basic checkmate patterns to know. www.usefulchess.com/tactics/checkmate.htm
Jacob Raymond In two moves the Queen comes down to attack the king while being protected by the rook. The king cannot run, and if king takes the queen, rook takes the king. Checkmate!
ThePigMange Yeah, you have to remove the defender. But if the player doesn't see this coming and moves/loses their knight, it could be game over pretty quick.
A few mistakes I keep struggling with are Going after the queen: I'm the player whose goal is to eliminate all the super threats that could affect my quest to checkmate, the queen being one of them. It makes me neglect the other pieces like the pesky knights and bishops. Isolated pawns: Of course people wanna advance their pawns, but having one all alone is dangerous because it could allow your opponent to sneak past and cause an early checkmate.
Take this advice with a grain of salt but it's good to keep your bishops ready to attack and the knights to protect the bishops when you attack with the queen say they have a queen and they do a queen trade you can kill it with the bishop they kill other bishop for revenge knight takes
