Chess but I tell you EXACTLY what you did wrong

I played a couple rapid chess games and explained all of my moves as well as where my opponent went wrong, so that hopefully you learn something and improve at your own chess games!

I could watch 20 of these. It feels like an extremely quick, effective way to learn

Opponent: Wow they're thinking so much I must have them stumped
Anna: Explaining why the opponent is losing

[mauriciojcYT]

I learned
- developing early is important
- don't lose time
- don't attack just for attack (don't overcomplicate)
- check, capture, attack
- if a pin happens, that piece is useless as a defender.
- two bishops is good
- bishops blocked are just pawns
- to see the board also in white or black diagonals, not only in columns and rows.
Thanks Anna.

I love watching Gotham and agadmator, but I find that Anna has a better grasp on the rating level of her viewership. The advice hits a nice sweetspot between "knowing some basic opening and the basics of chess" and the intermediate "coming up with plans, and knowing the ideas in a position".

I love it when youtubers talk through their moves and their opponents moves in chess. It's so helpful in learning.

[arishtj]

LOVE this mode. Please make more of these

“if my opponent doesn’t checkmate me then i’ll probably win the game”

wise words

One of the most useful chess learning videos I've seen.

[hotstepper]

Phenomenal content as always, Anna. You should do more videos like this! Very informative and it’s intriguing to see how a 2100 player thinks!

3:51 you could do move f6 (exf6 ; gxf6), then both two bishops would be under attack.

[JayLooney]

I think the move at around 4 minutes was Qe2, defending e5 and c4. Also, the biggest tip for calculating is "Always calculate every check, capture, and attack"

[dylanouimet]

Amazing video. I really learned a lot from your play by play commentary and explanations for fixing mistakes people made. Thanks so much Anna ❤

[teemupulkkinen]

Thank you Anna for the educational content, it is very helpful for me. :) I really need to start to use the Checks, Captures, Attacks-analysis more often during my games so I can hopefully attack in smarter ways that way.

[PalKrammer]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful advice. The approach of thinking about check-capture-attack for each move is a revelation to me, although it seems obvious and basic. Your discussion of the opponent’s white squares becoming weak was also a revelation. I believe master level players view positions on the board at a high strategic level that I will probably never attain, but it is good to have masters such as you still showing us these tactical basics.

i dont do progress since 5 years. Im still 2250 rated and my highest rating was 2370. I did a half year no game because im frustrated and i often think why im not higher rated because i do so much right, but in the reality i miss in blitz games so much that i dont want to play anymore.
When i watch a game i see so much more and i literally only watch chess videos insteed of playing.
I like your happiness and hope i can feel the same when im gone play again.

[adrianobonforti]

Great format! And super useful too, thanks :)

[JD-tdkl]

Very helpful video, Anna. Please do more of these in the future!

[moosewild]

Extremely helpful. The commentary was great. Nice to hear the thought process. More of this please. Great job.

[Gretchaninov]

These are easily the best kinds of videos for learning. It covers all aspects of the game and highlights the typical weaknesses (and strengths) at a given rating level.

I found this format very helpful. Thanks for the great content.
