Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battlefield.

Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant —especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.

We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent's mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

Hello guys! Do you think you could have found the right plan at every critical moment? If not, what is your Chess mainly missing❓ 👍😎

[desmundreid]

The breakdown of explaining why these moves have the effect that they do helps a lot. Great class!

[brasileirosim]

Amazing video, nice how you began with a certain position, jumping to some key moments, and then went back to move one. The repetition is very nice to keep the concepts. Good job!

[exuviumisopods]

That was quite instructive. Let one dive deeper in the understanding of our chess pieces and how we should use them effectively.

I came up with Bg5 and was looking to get the Knight on f5. I also got a number of the other "stop the video" moments, but stopped calculating when I saw that Qc6 could result in tripled pawns, and was not seeing how to protect the passed pawn - missed that tactic.

The fianchetto variation of the nimzo looks very familiar 🤐

Hi sir when I am playing pric the not castling the play e4 d4 nc3 nf3 be3 bd3 Qd2how continue with this moves

[mikhailvarkovsky]

When is a great idea to break the center in the pirc and when it's not? In Czech Pirc I get the idea, in regular pirc defense not so much. Is sometimes better to challenge the center even before castling? What to do if the opponent plays very passively and doesn't want to control the center, should you take it instead? I think that would be great lessons por the Pirc playlist. Thanks Doc

The Nimzoindian is such a rich source of interesting positions😊
