The SECRET To Stop Blundering Your Pieces In Chess

In this video I explain a method to stop blundering your pieces in chess. I use it all the time, and I think everyone else should too, especially in the lower ratings. This is episode 2 of my speedrun to 2000 and in this episode I'm rated 500. Hope you enjoy the video :)

"your opponent will blunder" yeah but I won't notice it

[joseville]

It's amazing how she's still explaining her thought process with only second left on the clock.

[prash]

I'm getting major anxiety watching her remember "shenanigans" with 10 seconds left on the clock

This is the calmest person I have ever seen playing on 10 seconds

[EvanNagao]

This 500 played way better than me lol

[Zakkargg]

i have 1970 in rating and the way you can explain this to beginners is amazing! good job especially since some of the things are hard to explain to beginners

[joeremus]

Thank you Anna, this has been a great help. I didn't realize the fundamental mistakes in my game and watching you play let me see what to do, especially strengthening my center. I'm surprised that in all my studies of tactics, etc. I was missing these basics. This makes my immediate goal of rising above 900 easier and less mind taxing.

[evantm]

I’m 1700 and you will blunder your pieces no matter what, the trick is to not blunder before your opponent

[vaclavpasak]

I was getting hearth attacks watching annas time 😃😃, while she was happily explaining

[brockk]

I love your enthusiasm. You acted like you were opening a birthday present.

[steveminla]

It's very enjoyable AND educational to not just play through a game explain along the way but, to hear the variations and the whole thought process for each move is an even better way to learn!
Thanks for sharing!
Subbing for more content like this.

Rumor has it, when Anna's family poses for photos, they say "chessss"

[belpack]

I"ve come to the realization that even if I stop blundering my pieces, I will still find creative ways to lose.

Shenanigans! :) This is an awesome video - thank you. I've never played chess before but recently started watching some competitions in New York as they came up on my YouTube feed. I saw you absolutely crushing the competition, and I'm excited to see this explanatory video. I may be way too old to begin playing now, but it's enticing, nonetheless. Thank you for the great teaching and explanations! I look forward to watching more of your content and seeing how much I can learn.

[LouisEmery]

13:00 shenanigans. Thanks for the lesson. I wanted to be able to play at a low level on my cell phone at least and no more, since I don't have hours to devote.

[ryanodonnell]

The opponent played ridiculously well for a 500!

[debopamroy]

the single most informative video I have seen in a long while. Teaches opening, middlegame and endgame. You should do a course like Levy. Naturally gifted at imparting knowledge, Anna!

[infinitonica]

Woah. I have been just really getting into chess and scouring books, tutorials, apps, for basic fundamentals to get started. This might be the best I have seen. You are a phenomenal teacher, and your passion for chess is infectious.

[macmoss]

Anna a superb video and not really oversimplified but very practical! I am a 1500-1600 player and SO many games in that range are also decided by a single loss of a piece. Often it's not an obvious hanging piece but the result of a modest combination; then the rest is straightforward. I'm going to explore your other videos intended for amateurs like this who want to improve their game and rating. Also your enthusiasm is so infectious! It demonstrates well how learning can be fun!
