Qxf6 at move 13 was such a tempting move attacking knight & a pawn you missed 😅

Caro kann is my favorite opening for black

Congrats on 1400! Keep up the hard work. I appreciate your videos

A very nice caro like the engine said it ho c5 is one hundred percent the move once you can it does look scary when you take buy you can just block with your queen and you get your nice center structure. You did miss that free pawn and In thinking maybe it was because you didn't know what to do after taking it. Other than that though definitely a better caro. Id say it is a good idea to take a break if you feel like youre studying to much because soon you might over think moves and play bad. Always good to take a break. Definitely not a bad game but you did miss some winning tactics. You never made any bad moves though which is the most important. It's better to miss a winning tactic then to make a bad move.

So like you said taking the bishop is definitely the right move in the beginning the point of the caro kann is to trade those light square bishops and fight for the dark squares. I would have played c5 sooner than you did to fight for the center. But what matters is you playing weird openings that aren't necessarily the best lines to see if you can mess your opponent up which you did so that was a good idea. You did have a losing position since you didn't take the bishop but your opponent didn't understand why it was a bad move. The main reason why it's a bad move is you weaken the pawn on f7 also something to note that I saw, after white queen to c3 you actually had a good move of pushing the d5 pawn to d4 guaranteeing that you can take the pawn on E4 so you calculated correctly up to the point in which you did miss d5 to d4, nevertheless it didnt matter since you capitalized on your idea which is what actually matters . You had a set idea and g Figured out how to make it work. That brilliant move was a lot better than the engine does it justice as well. Not only do you get a free pawn you also make really easy to miss threats for white. Now I will say you did not really play a good caro kann since you did delay c5 and allowed your structure to get messed up but It doesn't matter since you made it work. Also you noted that you missed pawn to g5 later In the position but there is a really good reason to think about why that's a good move. Not only does It weaken the center it also forces your opponent to open up files for your rook to work out later in. The end game. Stuff like c5 is higher rated moves but every so often you should think about how can I ruin the center or pawn structure even if it seemingly means losing a pawn. If your opponent did take that pawn the center would be ruined and you would have won a lot sooner.A very solid win. You definitely knew what to do a lot more than your opponent

So at 5:21 you had h3 since if he takes you take with queen and then not only is your bishop active you also have a target of the f pawn later down the road. You wanna take advantage of that open file and playing h4 either forces him to take it or just wastes a move for him in which you have an obvious target. The knight cannot move either so h3 is definitely the best move. Other than that you did miss some small stuff along with that winning position of queen check then rook takes pawn because of the x-ray. That was probably the most important thing that you missed. A simple but hard to see tactic. Puzzle rush should sort that out fr. Other than that and the mouse slip you played pretty well. Clearly you did have an idea of what to do. Id say a lot of times in a position where you can check a king and the king has to move especially if it's already castled Is pretty good. Very solid game. You didn't play any losing moves and you improved your position.

How long you been playing

yo right now im at 1478 almost 1500. You can do it! I was at 1250 a month ago lol. I've realized the best way to win is to have a consistent opening for black and white so that you can get a good position in the middlegame. I'm more of an attacking player so I try to build up the pressure and pieces on one side of the board. A general rule is to always have 2 more attacking pieces than the opponents defending pieces. Good Luck!

great game and btw when did u start playing chess

Just saw your comment as I was typing. A very good game played by you. You definitely had some chances but your fundamentals were on point. Now I personally play the scotch gambit if you wanna check that out, definitely works well for giving white some good winning chances if black doesn't know what they are doing. Once he pushed that pawn to e5 you don't always have to be worried about being down a pawn if it means you go for development. I would have played Bishop to c4 and if he takes you can always play KN F3 to target that pawn while also developing your position. Also a note, the engine is nice to use but it only tells you what the best move is and really doesn't tell you why. Once you hit the middle game your pawn in e4 was a constant weakness. You never really did guard it and same thing kinda happened where you were playing moves in response to what your opponent played instead of taking initiative. Once your bishop on c4 was trying to be traded off I would have moved it to guard the E4 pawn. Obviously wasn't the top engine move but it does give you a solid position. All of this is to say your openings seem to be where you struggle. Even if you did play the top engine moves in the beginning it really doesn't do much for you if you don't know how to capitalize on it and it seems like the player you played against knew what he was doing. Also knight to d2 doesn't actually prevent your bishop from being traded off nor does it really develop much since if he plays bishop to g5 you are kind of forced to take and then the thing you didn't want to do happens. You play really well and solidly but you don't give yourself chances to get winning positions. Playing defensive chess is very good but it's a lot harder to play since if you make a wrong move you are in a lot of trouble notice how in both games you never attacked his king and you let your king get attacked. Maybe try playing with higher rated players if you can. Honestly though. Just play a bit more aggressive. Interested to see how that would have played out if he didn't hang his queen. While it was even according to the engine, you definitely needed to do a lot more work to keep it even.

A couple of things to think about. Your knight on the side of the board was pretty useless. After knught c6 at 4:27 and then the pawn push, I would have played knight b4 targeting the pawn on the a file was also being able to move your knight to the middle of the board where it's more active. You could have also put your bishop on b7 to d5 before then. Your queen was also very inactive since it was stuck guarding the pawn on the c file. You also did in fact have the fork since if he took your pawn with his knight you could moved the queen to c8 and there would still be the fork. Now that would still probably be pretty much equal since the pawn you are guarding will eventually get taken since your peices are still inactive. You were playing a bit to much of blind chess in the beggining and let the other person play how he wanted to play. Playing a bit to defensive. You still could have tied though like you pointed out. Not a bad game but you definitely did have some chances

Any tips or anything like that would be very appreciated as I am actually working hard to try to achieve this goal.

I went from 1300 to 1600 elo in a month from taking a notebook and writing down every opening i play against and watching grandmasters play against it. I highly recommend doing that.

is that a surf training shirt?

Great game

great game bro loved your reaction at 32:41

Black was doing fine until he played 2 ... a6. gg

hey bro! im about the same rating as you, wondering if you would be down to play some games

Good game buddy. When you do your review have a good look at the opening so you know what to do against it the next time you see it. Just a little constructive criticism try not to make so many pawn moves in the opening and make it your #1 priority to get castled. Well played game. I threw you a sub. I look forward to watching you climb to 1500.

Just wondering why both sides didn't develop the white bishop until the endgame....

can u try playing 10+0 if possible?

One day in future, i hope u can beat magnus. Keep practice !!

Roll up your sleeves bruh

Keep up the good work man, a lot of people plato at 1200 even I did but after a month I came back to competitive chess and now I'm 1400 and still growing in less than 10 of playing and if you need any advice just ask me

I’m your 69th sub remember the name yog0gi that’s my chess user I plan on battling you once I get high enough elo
