Maybe you’re trying to comment on your own ability but it seems weird to generalize quite literally 95-99% of players into one skill bucket. What’re you, 2100-2200?
Low Elo is so much fun. The feeling when you capitalize off an opponents blunder just to realize you hung mate in 1 that your opponent missed all while the queens have been hanging for 4 turns is just indescribable.
I'm 600 i remember once i made such an amazing calculation to win the guys queen, like seriously 5 moves at least and then i executed but you know people take some time to think and at the final move everything went according my plan but i forgot i had a plan and just took his rook that open up cause it was the first thing i saw free. Only on the recap of the game i remember i had this plan cause i saw his queen hanging.
@@STREEEEEETYeah, it's not that hard to make plans but remember them it's another thing... Specially on daily games, i have no damn idea of what am doing
@@OutrightIgnite As a 1700ish player, I just wanted to say that you absolutely can play the Caro Kann against d4. If they play e4 on their 2nd move then you've successfully transposed into the Caro Kann, and if they play something else like c4, you can still go ahead with d5 on the second move and it's a completely playable opening.
@@SaketRaman-jh6fw This might be true, but honestly I think you can play Caro Kann system with black against literally any opening moves. I am yet to find an opening for white where black has a disadvantage after c6, d5. I would recommend Caro Kann and Caro Kann system to any chess beginners honestly.
You are surprisingly very good at this. Your tactical vision is very sharp for a 600 elo player. I gotta say that you have so much potential. Keep going!
He's definitely thinking tactically rather than trying to memorise many moves of openings as a lot of beginners do. I'm about 1000 points stronger and he's seeing a lot of the same tactical ideas as me - just that there are a few wtf moments along the way 😂 He should defs stick at it
8:45 A piece of advice to anyone around this ELO: you are up a full Rook at this point. Force the opponent to a trade of Queens, via Qc3+, and you basically win, by stalking the pawns on column "a" and "b"
It’s very good advice, because the whole check hitting the queen and king thing to force a queen trade trick just completely eliminates any counterplay from your opponent in cases like these. It’s such a good practical decision.
@@psf95 As an 1800-rated player, I have to say there's still a skill gap between a 600-rated player and a 1200-rated player. A 1200-rated player will still make mistakes, but if the video reminds him of how he used to play, let him enjoy watching it. There's no need to spread passive-aggressiveness
he actually does the correct sequence by exchanging his knight for the bishop before taking the rook. if he takes the rook then takes the other with his queen, his knight isnt defended on e5 anymore bc his queen moved.... so then he loses his knight to Qxe5 and the white bishop isnt being lost because the white queen can defend the check and the bishop at the same time by coming back.
Nah, his knight wasn’t hanging. It was a discovered attack when white moved their knight, but black protected his knight as soon as he captured white’s knight.
11:37 Knight c3 to e4 stops this whole pin. B takes B on d2 stops you castling as king must retake, but unpins, so thats a fine outcome thats slightly in his favor. The best line i found is this: Kc3 to e4: Pawn takes pawn d5 is the best counter most players will see as they are going to take the knight and continue the pin, and this is undefendable if black isnt blind. The solution i found is bishop d5 to take back the pawn and sack the bishop. He should retake with queen, other moves i cant find may salvage it, knight f6 takes bishop d5 is probably the correct move as it has him at an advantage, yes, but at least his pin will be blocked and your queen slips out though you're down 2 material. However, if he takes bishop d5 with queen, as most players will, he has instantly lost. Knight e4 takes knight f6 with check must be retaken by pawn g7, if he moves the king either direction, queen e8 is M1. If he takes back with pawn, he is still lost to forced mate; your queen takes his rook with check, then he has to go king g7, and in a WEIRD twist since the white H pawn is on g4; it is rook h1 takes pawn h7, making king g6 forced, and queen g8 is actually Checkmate as his pawns block him in while keeping his own queen out.
Funnily enough Ke6 is the best move at least on a low depth. It's completely winning for White and either Knight to e4 is roughly equal and loses most of the advantage.
@Batman-bh6vw Yea, there are 2 or 3 other lines for trades for black in this position if you go e4 and they win the same material, but in a better position for black. I figured e4 would let you trade off better, but nope, you pretty can't salvage losing something here.
Hey @OutrightIgnite, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your content. Your game analysis and voiceovers are not only entertaining but also really educational. As a fellow 600 Elo player, I find your insights and style incredibly relatable and motivating. Even when chess feels a bit boring, your videos reignite my interest. Keep up the great work your unique approach definitely makes a difference!
Damn man...think I might shed a tear, that was the most heartfelt comment I've ever gotten 😭 Thank you so much for watching and happy you enjoy the videos! Also, happy I can reignite your interest in chess, no pun intended ;)
11:54 the funny thing here is that... You dont even have to worry about the queen, just take the pawn kn b7 whit ur pawn on c6... The point is if they take ur queen whit the knight, you take the rook on a8 whit the pawn and make another queen. The opponment can fork ur king and rook but at least the situation is still equal ig
There's a reason why low elo means lower skills and high elo means higher skills. Or do you think someone with 600 elo could beat someone with 2000 elo?
Elo is meant to represent your skill. When your skill goes up, your elo will go up. In a way you're right, ELO doesn't matter, if you improve your skill. But most of the time a low elo player will lose to a higher elo player.
8:30 queen to f6 check, king goes either e1 or g1 , then rook takes rook at c1 , queens needs to come down to defend and rook takes queen, the same plan is executed
Dude I love this low ELA chess analysis videos, they are so fun. I'm also about 600 ELO rn in 10 min games (any time constraint and I totally crumble so I'm trying to fix that) and probably only like 700 in 30 min games so not great there either. But chess is a fantastic game and a lot of fun to try to get better at, also as a low ELO player I can totally relate to a lot of the thought processes going on in these vids
one tip is when it starts to become endgame and you have your queen and another big pieces (bishop knight or rook) then try and look for a queen trade that favors you for example 8:45 when u could have moved your queen to c3 and then bc if he moved his king u will get his queen he has to trade and you come out with him having nothing you having a rook and tempo (who is reacting and who is attacking best and easiest is to attack a piece or put them in check) i see that alot with your endgame w/ queens alot also same exact thing with 9:26 - Val
This is so relatable. I once hang my queen to a pawn just cause i saw i could threat his horse with queen, never saw the pawn neither did he cause he moved the horse instead of taking my queen. I only see that on the recap.
Damn this was fun. Please make more chess commentary. Like of not so famous games (elo 200,400,800, etc) Seems like those are fun, wanna know what's on their mind.
As a 800 elo player learn the smart queen start plays it goes like this.(as white) Kings pawn two spaces up (hopefully) opponent does the same thing. You bring your queen as far as it can go to the right he goes pawn g7 (hopefully) and you go check with the queen at e5 he block with either queen or bishop doesn’t matter and you take rook at h8.
Are you talking about Qf5 after Ne5? I'm not seeing the pawn you can pin with the queen. Edit: maybe Qf5 after Kf8? Those are pretty much the only moves that pin something with the queen.
@@geleiatorta1QG3 and then BH6, pinning g7 to the king, threatening checkmate, forces his to defend with a pawn push in front of his king or some other piece. I don’t know if it’s the best attacking idea and it might not even be as forcing idk
You should try Danish Gambit at low elo. It's so much fun to quickly check mate people cuz they can't even develop while you have your bishop and queen threatening checkmate 60% of the time
Very good first game! Decent game plans all around, bringing queen defending mates & knight to g-file, trying to disconnect rooks (btw you could've tried Nh2+) etc. Also you could've gone straight to end game by forcing queen trade at 8:22 left, but still impressive for a 600 elo. E: subbed
Up to 1:30 really solid gameplay, this whole sequence is just a good opener you can confidently use until at least 1500 or higher. If you played the rest of the game at the level of these first 8 moves, you'd be +1300 without much issue. Move 9 isnt awful but its probably not good. Move 10 brought great sadness, Everything after it until 3:00 was damage control and not actually too bad as it was a good bait. At 3:00, I actually pref knight c6 its just better development. I think at 4:15 the best move is pawn g6
11:30 since you asked, Nce4 blocks it, and it has 2 defenders (queen and knight) vs 2 attackers (rook and knight). If he adds another with Qe7, cxd3 defends it. The only thing to watch out for is Bxd2+, to make sure to take back with the king and not the queen which would drop the knight
