- The King left in the center is often the beginning of brilliant chess victories! It should be the main focus of your attention and most of your play should be based around how to punish it!
The safest and the best way to play chess is to follow classical chess principles - develop your pieces (knights before bishops), castle, and only then start creating attacking plans. There is a whole school of chess neglecting that! Modern openings and many aggressive openings choose time and the initiative over safety.
In some cases, the aggressive player is left with his most important piece stuck on e8 or e1, in the middle of the board and as a target for a deadly attack!
A king left in the center is a feature of the position which changes play completely. The player with the uncastled king will often look for attacking chances and a quick initiative to compensate for the lack of development, and the other player must adjust his play too. The way to play against a lack of development and a king in the center is quickly, aggressively and mercilessly!
The pawn structure doesn’t matter, the material doesn’t matter! Your goal is to open up lines, bring in reinforcements and checkmate.
One thing I think is crucial is taking more time in these positions. Even though it’s the late opening or early middlegame, take the position seriously and stop at each move. Think as if you were solving a puzzle saying: “White to play and win.” Very often you will have a deadly tactical blow!

The most underrated chess CZcamsr. This guy deserves more
Thank you very much for saying that Prashant:)
Sir your reply means alot 😲😭. Thanks alot
I agree 100% I try to get Stjepan more viewers through my #twitterhype machine @johnbrazel. Give me a follow and RT. Help spread the word, buddy!
I will try to promote it through youtube comments
Very true
your videos are even better than the saint louis ones - they might be GMs, but you're the best teacher. Thank you!
Thanks David:) That means a lot!
@@HangingPawnsits true. and the setup is also very poetic. do you read poetry?
Wish this video lasted for 2 hours he he! Thanks a lot, Stepan!
:) No problem mate, thanks for saying that!
Bravo! Another concisel explanation of a basic chess principle with excellent examples. Your series is extraordinary.
Thank you David. Your feedback is much appreciated as always:)
I loved the kings gambit and all the messed up position and the bishop gambit is very enjoyable thanks so much
Thanks for uploading these videos, this one was of particular interest to me as I tend to play the Kings gambit with the hope of sacrificing a bishop on f7 then luring the black king out :-)
man every time when i read a book and wanna revise it on youtube and type the chapter name, ur name appears and it makes me super happy since ur explanations further deepen my understandings. thank you very much
I think you should include the opera game. The best example of why you shouldn't keep your king in the center for a long time.
Again very good!
Thank you Joel:)
Very instructive videos. Thank you!
No problem:)
thank you for the interesting info, one day i hope i understand all of this!
thank you sir!
You will mate! All it takes is effort and patience. Good luck:) And thank you for watching!
Helpful ideas and well presented. Thank you.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video and helpful points about the engine and human capabilities to play certain positions. Someone will often burn all their time in the opening trying to defend this type of position the engine defends easily
Ah I missed the video on the first moments... nice job and thanks so much for the informations XD
Thank you for watching Anes:)
2nd time in this video and grasp everything.... Thnx for sharing
I think you must advertise your channel. People must know that there is something worth time on youtube for free
Lessons like yours are genrally paid. You must have atleast 1 million subscriber. I ll try my best to advertise ur channel as much as i can through instagram
Thank you very much mate. It really means a lot to have someone say this and try to spread the word about my channel. I am doing my best at the moment, but I can't find the time to do social media properly. I will get to that I hope.;)
You should watch titled players on CZcams
@@ubicutvojuporodicu1039 Well if u know that a Prime minister dosent requires a education qualification because he understands the problem of public well. Same goes with this man. He will be GM soon and still understands what we need to learn first before jumping on complex ideas.
@@ubicutvojuporodicu1039i do watch games of titled players but i think that their games are more of calculation based and they generally dont explain the ideas behind their moves
the navara game was insane, that was just beautiful attacking chess!
Yeah:D
Excellent video mate. Thanks so much for the great content. Have you considered putting up a donation link? It's clear that you're putting a lot of effort into these videos, and people might want to contribute. Keep up the great work!
Hey. Thank you. I have put up a donation link:) It's in the description.
nice one sir
Thank you Ankesh!
liked the video
Thanks!
I haven't played a game in a really long time against a non-castled king and it really threw me off when my friend who isn't very good at chess didn't castle... I drew that game and I am very sad
Please make a video on how to attack a castled King.
Can you make a video on playing a whole game without the theoretical chess openings, cause everyone suggests not to learn openings for beginner to intermediate opponents and none of the beginners follow the opening theory
Hmm. I was hoping that this middlegame series could accomplish that. I'm not sure what you mean exactly.
tyty
Do like a lichess stream, where you are just getting your online rating up, while talking about tactics and ideas
I was thinking about that, I probably will when I have more time.
At 9:36, after the pawn sac, why not force checkmate?
Good work on all your videos btw, they're excellent
The sound is not as crisp as usual.
Please make a video on Reti Opening All variations. Waiting for an early feedback
Please make video for attacking in castled king.
The Sacrificing bishop and Insert the bishop and the knight leaping those ideas please make for that topic sir :)
Agreed speed kills, tempi matters. Great stuff buddy! #tweethype machine activated :-)
Thank you very much John:)
sir pls make video on grunfeld opening
And also for the opening A File or H File for the rook. Those Behind Ideas please have it Video.

21.15 why didn't the queen take the bishop?
It's a double check from the rook and the bishop
Oh yes, I missed that, thanks
