  • There are no easy rules that will tell you when to move your pawns in the middlegame. In this video, I'll give six examples of pawn play that make sense in a variety of different positions.
    I recently collaborated with @Thinkerteacher for a live interview about my chess journey, goals and advice! Check it out here: • Chess helps developing...

    example 6 was really instructive, whenever i try h pawn attacks i seem to end up in sharp positions where my attack fizzles out after a couple bad moves, so watching that was really helpful

    These videos are very helpful. Since you only recently rised up through the chess ranks, I think this is giving you a big advantage in teaching those of us at a lower rating, over those who learned at a younger age or who are at a far higher level.

    Great video. Thank you for so much for making this. I've always struggled with understanding the Pawn pushes. Especially against a castled king. I enjoyed all the examples though as they were all very informative. Can't wait to see more of these middle game videos. Thanks again and I subbed a few days ago after I watched your London to 1500 video

    Congrats on a great video! I really like the format of abstract pattern/idea + specific example from a real game. There are a lot of ways to easily learn about "simpler" tactics like forks or pins, but as a beginner, the higher-level patterns (f.ex. when is a bishop strong or not, how to use one's pawns) are not as easy to find online. I'm making flashcards from this and hoping for more videos! :)

    I'm really enjoying your content Kamryn, the information all seems so directly relevant to my games. I think perhaps this is because because even though you are 500 Elo above me, the fact that you have advanced so quickly means that you can relate to the thought process a player at my level has more than the IM/GMs can. Keep it up.

    Hey Kamryn
    Could you do a video on what you think the best and most useful POSITIONAL concepts you learned on your rise?
    What I mean is that I've only recently learned about things like a minority attack, the difference between AN Isolanted pawn and THE Isolated pawn, and it would be really great to know what you learned and found the most useful implementing into your game.
    Love your vidoes though. More of them please!
    Also what is your day job!? Are you still studying? ty

      @macdonaldnnadi Před rokem +1

      You first compose yourself, the next step is attempt to regain your strength after you find yourself in a losing position. I hope you could understand. Let’s be real here, that’s mentality not a video that can teach you. Just try to play well idk what you would really want in a video like that.

      @@macdonaldnnadi well idk it was just a suggestion. CZcams is full of videos about mental resilience so clearly it’s something that videos can help people with, but there’s not many when it’s relating to chess. Can you give me practical tips on how to compose myself or regain my strength? What has worked for you?

    • @macdonaldnnadi
      @macdonaldnnadi Před rokem

      @@sarrystylesofficial personally what I do is take a deep breath and open my eyes wide. You have to tell yourself you made a mistake but will stay open to catching your opponents mistakes. You have to be tricky and resilient in losing positions. In the end, you must remember it’s a game and just for fun. If you aren’t going for chess as a profession, you should never feel such great pressure playing it. That’s what I tell myself

    bruh, I play the 150 attack too in example 6, and never know what to do against black's pawn push. I just end up saying "let's see who gets there first" without defending, and lose like 70%+. Now I know to move the king over, cxb3, a3, and then Ka2
