    Tbf to White, they thought that promoting to a queen is only worthwhile if they get to keep it, so they didn't want to promote because they knew they would just lose it right away, without considering that it would be a massively good trade in their favour.

      @@asgacc8789 Play slowly, 15 minute games, watch for obvious attacks like forks, checkmates, back ranks, traps, non-benificial exchanges, ect. Do not get tunnel vision. Know how to defend against common tricks like the fried liver attack, ect. Learn a few solid openings for playing as white and playing as black. You can get to 1000 elo if you do these things.

  • @joshuareynolds8134
    @joshuareynolds8134 Před rokem

    At 17:08, I think the reason white didn't make the queen is because he saw that a8 was defended by the black queen on g2 and he didn't want to make a queen just to lose it immediately. It's silly, but it's exactly the kind of evaluation I can imagine a 400-500 or so player making. He probably thought he had a better play than to make the queen and trade with the opponent, even though doing so would put him absurdly ahead in material, especially considering that pawn on the b file that could just promote to another queen in case white isn't confident in pulling off a king and rook checkmate.

    I've gotten to the point now where I analyze my games as if I were writing a script for one of these videos (with help from the eval bar). It actually helps me figure out when/where I make stupid mistakes and how to recognize when I need to check myself and slow it down. Also, LMAO at the eval bar swinging 100 points in a SINGLE move. I'm pretty sure white didn't just promote the pawn because they either didn't know that king+rook vs king is a win, or just didn't know how to do it
