    • @shawnbenoit3774
      @shawnbenoit3774 Před 2 měsíci

      @@MrOeyoenne Positional awareness in chess refers to a player's ability to understand and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the positions on the board. This involves recognizing key positional elements that influence the game's outcome, beyond immediate tactics or material gain. Key aspects of positional awareness include:
      1. **Piece Activity**: Understanding the optimal placement and activity of your pieces. Active pieces control more squares, have more potential to influence the game, and are generally more valuable.
      2. **Pawn Structure**: Evaluating the arrangement of pawns, including pawn chains, isolated pawns, doubled pawns, and backward pawns. Good pawn structure can support strong piece play and control important squares.
      3. **King Safety**: Ensuring your king is well-protected, especially in the middlegame, while looking for opportunities to expose your opponent's king.
      4. **Control of Key Squares and Files**: Recognizing the importance of controlling central squares, open files, and key diagonals. This control can lead to more effective coordination of pieces and opportunities to penetrate the opponent's position.
      5. **Weaknesses**: Identifying weak squares, weak pawns, and other vulnerabilities in both your position and your opponent's position. Exploiting these weaknesses can be crucial in gaining an advantage.
      6. **Space Advantage**: Evaluating who controls more space on the board. Having more space allows your pieces to maneuver more freely and restricts the opponent's options.
      7. **Coordination and Harmony**: Ensuring your pieces work together harmoniously. Well-coordinated pieces can support each other and create more powerful threats.
      8. **Plan Formulation**: Developing long-term strategic plans based on the positional factors of the game. This might involve preparing pawn breaks, maneuvering pieces to better squares, or transitioning to favorable endgames.
      In summary, positional awareness in chess is about understanding these and other strategic elements, allowing a player to make decisions that strengthen their overall position and increase their chances of success in the game.

      I don't think playing against bots says much about your skill level though. Because bots will blunder the most ridiculous pieces, just given enough time. And on the opposite side of things, they hardly ever blunder in endgames, where a human player would. Compared to human players, you will find some people know opening lines, whereas other lower rated players don't. Your mileage, at your own elo rating, therefore might vary.

    White lost the first game at 2:15. Had the opportunity to attack on the left with the knight then the white bishop, pinning the queen against a potential king-rook fork and preventing him from attacking on white's right, while threatening other rear pieces on the left. Going for a double rook setup on the right was always going to be a hard play to make work against a well set up defense on the right, particularly when there were many more gaps on the left.

    Maybe moving the bishop instead of the rook to pin the knight and possibly capturing the queen in a later move, instead of moving the rook would be a better idea ?

    If he told you his real rating he's not hustling

      Good point. And seeing how he played against the daughter of two grandmasters, and who had a peak rating of 2175, I don't think he exaggerated his rating in the least.

      @@dowaliby1 I don't know this woman enough to judge her but it does kind of seem like she has this status and confidence in her ability but she's going around playing random people in a park. I guess there's just something interesting about the angle here to where I'm not sure if she's fishing for amazing talent but she definitely found it in this game. He seems a bit distant and off put until she finally starts acknowledging that he's actually better than her.

      Good observations, Magneticitist. The going around playing random people in a park makes for good video entertainment. I think that social media and, obviously, her own channel, are important to her, and she wants to boost the number of views and subscribers, which is already a formidable 179,000 subscribers. She is certainly attractive, charismatic, entertaining, and a damn good chess player for 20 years old..

    I used to play here all the time! (my law school was across the street from where you're sitting). you're lucky you got a good game at your first try, the quality varies immensely lol. some of them are IM strong whether titled or not, some of them are patzers just collecting money from tourists. but the good ones are really good lol. and being hustlers they love their opening gimmicks!

      That must be NYU Law School, a great school. Much respect! One of my best friends went there.
