Going from equal in material to -2
“Ok I think this is good for me”
Rough one. You are still improved on your tactical awareness since 400 days ago. Like we discussed in the Discord, sometimes your improvement doesn't always show up on the board at game time. It's often small nuances that build up over time to become bigger growth. Also, there's no shame in 88 percent accuracy, win or lose. Keep at it. Don't sweat the trolls. They truly lead empty lives and are meaningless in the grand scheme. Cazad0r75.
Welcome back to the 1400 club😅 The struggle is real
Look at the opponent's clock. That's some 2000+ player that inadvertently sandbagged in this time game.
wow it's like watching homer simpsons play chess all thats left is you saying doh!
Actually, Homer Simpson got to master-level strength in an episode. He even had coaching by Magnus Carlsen, and Magnus even appeared as a guest-voice-actor for his own character! This happened several years ago.
@@phen-themoogle7651 Though that is a cartoon character, on second thought, never mind.
I really liked this game Patrick. You developed your pieces and castled. When your opponent took on c4 with the bishop, you didn't take on c4, which would improve whites knight after the recapture but instead castled because you noticed that Bxe6 fxe improves your pawn structure. Well done.
The moment when you played Kf7 is worth a second look. With less pieces on the board, the activity (or lack of activity) of each piece is felt more. The white rook was on the open a file and ready to infiltrate your position. After Kf7 he could even get the rook to a7 with tempo and soon after you couldn't hold your pawns on the queenside. The activity of whites rook and knight led to material gains. Therefore it was important to stop white from infiltrating your position with Rd8 (since Ra7 Rd1 is mate) or Ra8 might also work.
Keep grinding Patrick.
This opponent is over 1800 blitz which would explain the fast time, I suspected cheating after seeing the accuracy but the account has been around since 2017, seems to check out
Hey in this particular line of the slav/queens gambit, immediately hop your knight into e4 after the bishop goes to g5 (attacking your knight). They ALWAYS take with their knight and after you recapture with your pawn, they **almost** ALWAYS blunder their bishop by pushing pawn to e3. Qa5 check wins the bishop. I'm telling you it's a free win 90+% and I'm 1700-1800 and they still make the same mistake nearly every time lol
It obviously only works in this exact line of the slav
I play this same line and can confirm 😅. Sooooo many people play that e3 move. It’s a line worth remembering
I watch Kiwi chess, and this line happens a lot
i usually play e6 and c5. i'm going to try c6 cause this is pretty nice. thx.
I'll take 88% accuracy any day. You played quite well this game. And by that, I mean you were decisive in your moves. No wasted overthinking effort here. The opponent just played better.
I’ve noticed that whenever you do a pre move, you then undo the pre move for some mysterious reason. Then you manually do the move after they take your piece. Can you please explain to me why that is. It drives me insane every time I see you do it. 6:07
8:27 That's not the flag of the United States! HAHAAAAAAAAAAA!
Oh, now I see it. What flag is that?
@@HunterHunter-tr3itit's Malaysia, I just checked. I also just found out that you can zoom in the video in the CZcams android app
@@HunterHunter-tr3it Liberia 🇱🇷
@@MrDanielfff777 Apparently Malaysia
Look into the Dutch defense against D4. I've been using it quite a bit and almost nobody at this level has any prep for it.
Your opponent played very well. I think they are very underrated in Rapid. They haven’t played very many rapid games but are rated 1800 Blitz which is wayyyy above 1500 rapid.
This is the Benjamin Button of the rating latter series'
have you tried playing bullet chess to improve time skills?
It wasn't time trouble that cost him this time. It was his lack of positional understanding. In fact if he had better positional understanding he wouldn't need to spend so much time in the middlegame.
I think it would be interesting to hear you say I it loud why you think it’s advantageous to trade off pieces whenever you do that. My understanding is that you should trade pieces when you are up material or if it gives you and advantage but it feels like you’re just trading to trade. I’m curious to hear why.
As we look into my crystal ball: It is now day 8,264.. and Patrick is still a sub 1600 shitter :(
Hey Patrick, I hope youre not listening to the idiots on here telling you that youll never make it to 2000. You will. You have the right attitude and a genuine love for the game. I appreciate your content and I believe you will make it to your goal one day.
I recently suffered a horrible tilt from 1605 rapid to 1400. Ive been in my head, but i realized i got away from my process and its time to get back to it and grind. Same with you.
I would highly recommend you hire a coach. I was able to find a high quality coach who would meet with me two to three days a week. It helped me to understand A LOT. I obviously have a long way to go yet.
All this to say, dont ever give up buddy. A lot of us believe in you. We WILL reach our goals if we work hard.
Onward!
This is a great comment. I agree with this!
I feel like you do better when you focus on putting pressure on your opponent's pieces and looking for material gains. You might lose some games with tactical blunders but I feel like you will win more than blunder. Search for forcing moves and not trades.
Your opponent played very well, but I was confused about why you willingly went down the exchange at the end.
You played well - if you can play at 1900 ELO on a regular basis you will soon make progress.
Why not knight to b6, instead you just leave it on d7 where it does nothing. You continue to help your opponent to develop pieces.
Instead of presenting problems you solve his problems for him. Also applying general principles, get your king into the center, is not always good as another principle of taking the 7rh rank was crushing here, unlike when you played your rooks to opponent's 7th, a number of games ago, because that is what you thought you were supposed to do, but that lost you the game, then.
So general principles are good to follow if required in the specific position.
It really looks like your opponent was using stockfish from around move 15. It's not just the accuracy it's the speed at which he makes the moves... Pretty suspicious for someone below 1500
Edit: Apparently your opponent was legitimately much better than his rating so it might not be cheating
Instead of every day, try Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Giving your brain a several day break might help.
Youre opponent was cheating or sus at the very least. Every move played at the same pace...a sub 1500 player playing like a 2300 that fast with that much accuracy? Im not buying it at all
That's what I thought, but when I looked at his profile, he has barely played rapid and just a bunch of blitz and bullet. And the guy's blitz rating is like 1800. So he's really good with the fast time controls and just beasts on people because his rapid rating doesn't reflect his actual ability. Essentially, Patrick just played a much higher rated player. 🤷
@@BigFoxyChess I rewatched the game. He is for the most part playing a move almost exactly every 5 seconds give or take on just a few moves. Idk I hate jumping straight to the cheater accusation it just seems sus to me. I hear what you're saying too though. 1800 blitz is very high
@@willbollman6246 definitely go to his profile and draw your own conclusions. I actually thought that at first too when I watched the game but then when I saw his blitz and bullet ratings it made sense to me that he would be able to play the Right moves so quickly. And he barely has any rapid games, 50 or 60 at most. And then he's got a thousand blitz and bullet games so he's just used to playing fast. But I also hear what you're saying and I think you would be right to be suspicious initially.
Doubt it, those moves were all very natural, nothing sus too my eye anyway. Patrick’s style lends itself to making very easy natural moves as he likes to trade everything and/or throw away a piece early. When you are playing a piece up it’s hard not to make top moves because the engine will give you credit for most moves that don’t blunder.
Looked at his profile, he has quite a few 95+% games where he is taking 1-5 seconds per move
You ain't never getting to 2000 at this rate
It’s tough when even 1400s get 96 accuracy
Haha, not with that attitude
Are you in a rush? 1500 in one year is pretty darn good.
@GiovaneFugazza10 I'm not in a rush. Patrick has basically made no progress in one year; he was 1500/1400 this time last year. At that time, I've gained 400 elo. I'm 1800, all the other youtubers have also made progress to
I’m curious what the psychology is behind leaving this comment.
Are you trying to help?
Are you trying to make Patrick feel bad?
Are you trying to make yourself feel better than him?
Probably a cheater
