The chesswithpatrick staff would like to apologize for yesterday’s video being cut short. We have since separated with the individual responsible for the issue. To make up for this oversight we are offering the next 10 videos free of charge. We hope you enjoy and we apologize again!

20:32 Love how you tried to move your king directly in front of the White queen (into check) TWO times!!!

[mitchmorgan]

"The time is ticking" *proceeds to take 45 of his remaining 60 seconds to make a move.

Patrick .. you keep repeating a thinking error

1. Every time your opponent makes a threat you calculate how to deal with it but rarely if you can ignore it because you think you HAVE to deal with the threat
… that leads to error two …
2. When you make a threat like this game pawn g5 you presume he MUST deal with it and calculate lines but not ones if he ignores it personally for him my mind jumped to Qh5 your king looks very weak

.. your opponent ONLY has to deal with Check all good players look to see if they can ignore threats

Patrick spends 2 minutes and 20 seconds in this game contemplating a knight sacrifice. Then during the review, says, “Well that would have been a blunder, glad I didn’t do that.” But he doesn’t take even one second to understand why it would have been a blunder.
Lmao, oh Patrick.

Think its better to call this series " Journey to playing better chess."
You said in one of the previous video's that you dont have a lot of time to study chess and just play a ton of blitz games.
This way you are never gonna get to 2000.
I hope you reach your goal someday but i think you should be realistic towards yourself and also your viewers.

Not sure swapping off all the pieces when your opponent has the only passed pawn was such a great idea

[Marenqo]

Nothing wrong with the music :) well played, Patrick

[johnmillett]

Patrick, against the 2 knights variation you need to plat Bg4 and be willing to trade B for N on f3 after white plays h3.

[Shudie-ze]

Moving pawns in front of the king doesn't necessarily open or weaken him, especially the f pawn. It depends on what follow up there is after that happens. It may help you to stop looking at sacrifice lines unless you see something concrete, you frequently spend a lot of time calculating them hoping they might work.

[MrDanielfff]

Why was you so hell bent on sacrificing your knight

[shazilla]

Did you shouldnt have resigned! some people dont know how to checkmate with queen and king! or its at least very difficult

[novagaming]

I like the music, it’s just a little to loud sometimes

[shanecle]

The engine really seems to love Patrick, always giving 80+ accuracy and telling him he hardly made any errors … in contrast, even when I win my games in a similar elo range, the engine usually gives me a low accuracy score and tells me I played poorly 😂

[witheringhs]

i love the music makes me feel like im playing ff7 again

[GlassOfWater]

The background music reminds me of the music that was playing in the background while getting a foot massage in Thailand.

[radscorpion]

AHAHAHAHHAHA YESSS :DDD. I'm soooo glad you commented on the "funeral music". Your music was nice at first but actually...I am starting to agree with the others...we need some variety XDD. Because I think you only play like two tracks, I mean I'm not even sure ... is it just one track?

Even you must be getting tired of it I mean lets get some meditative albums up in here. I guess it has to be free use but still there must be something. I mean even if its just a recording of you and your guitar

[BigFoxyChess]

First. Best. Chess With Patrick and coffee. Good stuff.

[StevieJordan-pp]

Far too slow on your moves you lost a good time advantage

[XinYell]

Fun fact: on this Day 526 it's actually been 562 days since Patrick's first game of the series.
