Me watching Anna play a 1400: This looks easy Me playing a 1400: gets brown off the board by move 15

@chupapimunanyo2596 6 месяцев назад

Probably because you’re violating opening principles, aren’t aware of common opening traps and playing without a strategy

@twoplustwoequals5733 Год назад

I think this where the most people struggle, first big wall, you've learned openings, your opponent doesn't hang pieces, then what? what to do next xD

@TheDestroyer7102 Год назад

@@twoplustwoequals5733 yes, that's exactly right. Knowing the middle game plans for the opening u play is extremely crucial in my opinion.

@TheSLK66 Год назад

9:28 There's Nb3, same fork you were trying to avoid but in a different position. Otherwise nice analysis! I liked the re-routing of the light-squared bishop.

@joannewilson6577 Год назад

Indeed! because of the time pressure..so she should play 10 min like many that i watch and it's a lot better...

@fritzgw7094 Год назад

Notice that one after Anna placed the bishop on f6 easy to miss that move due to time pressure should have played 10-15 minutes explaining while playing.

@ckobo84 Год назад

Yeah very risky to put her Queen and Rook deep in enemy territory where it was basically 2 vs 5. It would take very thorough calculation (which she didn't do) to make sure there's no danger there.

@Blinkers2007GameDev Год назад

Yeah I saw that too.

@kotmatroskin4941 Год назад

Not the same fork, coz 9:19 the bishop on f6 is very important - the best move Qb2, Nc4 fork, Rxe2, Nxb2, Rxe1, Rh1xe1 (or Rc1xe1), Bxb2 and the weak a3 pawn is under pressure. The other var is - Qd4, Nb3 fork, Rxe2, Qxe2 giving the rook for the bishop

@nilsalmgren4492 Год назад

Never really understood pawns. I think your explanation about the weaknesses created and understanding what is not possible after that pawn move was helpful. Very practical explanation, not just saying a weakness, but explaining the weakness was helpful. Thanks.

@Beery1962 Год назад

Please make more of these videos! I find your explanations very useful. I'd like to see more around 1100 to 1400, not just because that's my level, but because your explanations seem clearer at those levels - maybe getting into time trouble was a factor here.

@TheDMFW62 Год назад

I've spent a long time stuck bouncing around between about 1200 and 1500 (sometimes going backwards) so it is helpful to get advice for this playing strength. Some things I took away from this video were that I should be playing longer time controls (I play too much bullet and blitz) and I need to develop more positional awareness. I should also broaden my opening knowledge. Great to see your thought processes in playing these kind of games and the way you formulate plans to exploit weak moves from the opponent.

@ellisj98 Год назад

Definitely play rapid if you want to improve at that level. Blitz is too fast and won’t give you the chance to properly think. The reason hikaru for example is so good at blitz is they have developed the openings, move intuition, pattern recognition from longer time controls

@casewhite5048 Год назад

She called us out at 29:46

@BlitzMaul Год назад

The logic in playing chess above 1200 is simply amazing to me,I'm barely 1100 but I definitely spot blunders,but the way Anna just coordinates pieces is just so amazing.she makes it look so easy wow

@robertakerman3570 Год назад

Anna is so worthy. Can't miss an episode.

@joshualandry3160 Год назад

Here is a quick way to get a lot of it. Look for the most forward attacking move. That is a move that forces your opponent to do something they don’t want to do. That is usually the best move and will probably get you a healthy rating boost. Also focus on moving pieces to the forward center. They will tend to coordinate on their own.

@RunPJs Год назад

Am exactly 1500, never read a book, don't know openings, but I spend a lot of time practicing chess tactics and trying to learn from each one. When I play a 1500 I'm usually losing until the end game where my opponent might blunder or I find or set up tactics and tricks. But if I play a 1600 player I generally get smashed because they don't fall for my tricks.
