How I Gained 2200 Elo in Just 2 Years

Have just launched my new website for coaching & courses! A full beginner Chess course is available there for free, and my coaching is available there also!

Please do note coaching is recommended for people that do not have the time to coach themselves (whether it be work or other commitments). Coaching is expensive as not only are you paying for the lesson, but the hours of work that goes into every lesson.

If coaching services aren't financially suitable for you, I recommend watching these videos which you may find useful also.

Contrary to what's mentioned in this video, I've just launched a website for my coaching & courses. Currently there's a completely free introductory course for you guys to watch if you're new to Chess.

If you have a lot of free time I highly recommend coaching yourself using free online resources. I'm continuing to post videos like this on my channel to help you do this. But if you don't have the time due to other commitments, or you've found yourself in a bit of a rut - coaching may be your best option.

Not playing too many games is the best advice to increase rating. If you play too much you just end up exhausted and playing mindlessly

Still plays the London, unacceptable. Amazing video to be honest, motivated me to turn from 2000 to 2200.

Bro first off amazing video, the new lighting is so much better and you can clearly see the hours of effort that went into this edit, you deserve this!

Im 1800 Rapid and I’m vibing here for a bit but damn 2200 in 2 years is wild. Hopefully 2000 is in reach over the next couple months but idk

2 years ago I also started chess. The only difference is I became hyperfixated on it, it was an addiction. I became 1700 in a matter of mere months. Then, I abruptly quit, it was too much, to be honest, I played way too many games and became tilted. Not playing too many games is crucial and it's better to spend your time spread out throughout the different aspects of chess, I completely agree with this video btw. (getting back into chess rn after a year)

I was really scared there that you wouldn't mention this guy, glad you did hahahaha

[danielstarr]

I went from 800 elo to 1000 in 1 month because of this video, thank you man

[leonardosciolis]

Watching specific opening speed runs was an excellent advice. Thank you for that!

[mevadavraj]

Right now i am stuck at 2150, not reaching 2200, 2 years ago i was stuck around 1500, then in last 9 months i gained rating rapidly and reached 2100+ , main reason i started watching youtube videos of daniel naroditsky speedrun it gives lot of insights how grandmaster thinks . But now i am stuck at 2150 last 1 month .

[CrazyGamerOO]

First he played re8 capturing the king and that’s how he won in those 2 years💀

[uninteresting-content-dump]

despite your opening bit sounding (and looking) like your generic "don't call this number at 3am (gone wrong)", complete with intense eye contact, I'm glad I made it through the whole thing. great video.

As someone who followed a similar path as you (peaked at 2200ish rapid like a month ago, currently 2000 blitz and started playing in around late 2021) I think your point on paying for courses may be wrong; for me, the chessable courses, especially opening ones, were actually very useful because of the detailed text explanations. Definitely no need to purchase video though, course only is fine and typically costs arouns 30-40$

[gravitraxrocker]

This was an awesome video with very nice tips. I started around a year ago and now I'm stuck between 1600-1800 Elo. Now I realized it's time to put more work in to eventually hit 2000. I regularly watch Naroditsky, by far the best content that is out there for free.

[DensiBensi]

Hey this video was really instructive and super helpful, thank you so much for posting!

[missquestion]

That’s impressive, you inspire me. I recommend to Play against +3000 Elo bots with evaluation bar, you decide your move carefully and them you compare with evbar’s opinion

[bencash]

nice video so far, when you mentioned tilt, I thought of my own games, and for some reason I tilt more on rapid than on blitz, sometimes I'll go to 2150 rapid, just to fall back to 2080 in one day, while I stay fairly consistent on 2050-2080 on blitz (doesn't matter much how many games I play)

0:35 bro really sneaked in gothamchess and thought we wouldn't notice💀

[popularRevolution]

very impressive! overlooked great opening for black in low elo: alekhines defense. hardly anyone in low elo knows what to do, and even if they premove Nc3 to defend the pawn instead of pushing, you just go e4 and go alekhines scandinavian line and have your opponent out of his prep on move 3 or 4.
