I wasted years losing at chess, until I learned this

I laugh in 3 minutes 😂

excellent , you are great teacher

personally i like to push h3 as it is a free move that give an escape to my king or potentially for Bc1 and give a potential future threat with g4. But yes it weaknesses g3. Personally the weakeness is well compensated by the benefits.

Hey thanks
This is helpful

Would be curious to see you play against LeelaQueenOdds with this strategy.

I have learn a lot, now I can challenge you and win the game.

As a beginner I very much appreciated this video. Simplified everything for me. I was racking my brain trying to learn multiple openings, now I will focus on making good decisions and improving my board awareness. CCTO is great tool as well.

Does this guy ever show a game that he loses or does he win every time?

but isn't ccto instead of cct?

Thank you. I see it but, I like dangerous exciting middle games with opputunities for both sides. Fun is more important than winning to me.

"How do I win at chess?"
"Easy. Don't do anything fun."

what's your elo sir?

How to be better at chess: just play good moves, duh

Pragg in white has always been playing h4 with alot of success, pushing the k side pawn even he has already castled k side

this theory is not for me. Seems like you just anyhow play the black pieces

What would Arjun think about this ?

pretty strong player, no frills, just simple logic. You have a Capablanca style

Well I instantly subscribed. What an excellent concise explanation of real world chess even a low level player should understand. Love your teaching style and look forward to learning from you. Thank you my friend.

If I initially learnt this approach to chess and followed it I would soon get really really bored and give up the game.

What a silly advice. Do not attack? Why would you do that? You are a passive positional player that will lose a lot of attacking chances. If your opponent plays an opening that violates a lot of opening principles, that's your cue that it is the best time to attack already in the opening phase of the game. If you will not attack, you will miss a lot of opportunity to be aggressive at the right time. It would be a better advice that if you think that your opponent violates chess principles, that's the best time to attack.

Just a little FYI. Since I watched this video, my rating has gone up 150 points......seriously

Nice exposition. good use of squares to show options. CCT quite important, useful.

Couldn't you have trapped his Q with the pawn, after Bishop E7?

Weak

Excellent lesson, thank you. I have found it important to examine the CCTs from both angles before each move -- those I have and those of my opponent.

You dont win chess match without attacking, what are you saying? 😂

Is it for me?, I don't think so If you want to be a good player so . be aggressive, dare & brutal 😂😂😂

So..... 19 minutes to say "Play positional chess" ???????????????

In another video you said that double pawn is a weakness only if there are no pawns next to it. In this video, you call it a weakness 😮

2nd black move…bishop?

Every good chess player always has analysis after opponents move. Even a mediocre analysis is better than none. Checking strength, weakness should become habit. Experience very valuable

"Do not attack" just think were you can make CHECK, CAPTURE, or THREAT😅. (Loved the video, btw. You have a new subscriber)

If you want to go from USCF 200 to USCF 300, this is the way to go.

Your voice and attitude makes me so comfortable you are a blessing for beginners like me
