Hello Patrick, I was your opponent here. It was a rollercoaster of a day for me trying to reach 1500,started that day well got myself to 1499 ,then had a 7-8 games losing streak to take me below 1450. I was hanging pieces and tilting real hard just before you showed up. And as soon as I saw your face, I told myself " this game is going on CZcams, FOCUS UP"😂😂😂.So, I was determined to put up a good game for the audience . Finally, your videos help a lot, it is easier to learn and understand from someone who is at a similar level. Well keep up the good work and Good luck 👍.
Great playing man! You grabbed his dark-squared bishop, induced the weakening move b3, and ultimately killed him on the dark squares.
Patrick of course, should not have given up the bishop pair so easily. But it's a higher-level mistake compared to his typical losses haha
😂😂😂
Thought plz wait after the game was bm for Patrick taking so long to move lol
@@al87221 😅😅, I really didn't want to distract him during the game and also didn't want him to leave without a chat. So, I typed that when I thought the game was practically over ( he was getting super low on time).
Thank you for the game!!!! Really appreciate you reaching out! 😊 it was fun 😊
Time Management 🤮
Sportsmanship ✅
please just play 15/10. every game you get to the middlegame 3-4mins down on your opponent. every game you are in time trouble. you just won't improve this way.
You played pretty well Patrick. It just happens that your opponent played an almost perfect game. It was really hard for you to fine the right moves in the middle game there.
Pretty well and pretty slow
Have you considered 15/10 time controls? I think it would benefit you dude.
Hey Patrick, I ve been following your journey since day 103. If you want to reach 2000 on a 10 mins game (FIDE equivalent give and take 1700 ish) you have to stop playing chess and start training tactics, vision, patterns, counting squares. Do puzzles until you feel it in your stomach. It is impossible to climb the ratings after 1600 otherwise. Good luck and keep posting!
what is counting squares?
FORGET THE DARN PAWNS! How many pieces does he have defending his King at 25:00? Usually you’re attacking and trading prematurely, in this case, you were worried about losing pawns when his king was alone in the corner. Thats the time to start mating threats and putting your pieces on his side of the board.
True .
And sadly i think its a very very long way to 2.000 continueing this way.
400 days and same issues over and over.
Gl always to Patrick of course
Nice game Patrick, your opponent played really strong
This Nd5 move was in the position for a couple of moves. Like in the last game your decision making process was solid in general, I'm not sure why you missed that move, because it ticks all the boxes: knight gets to a well defended central square and it attacks your queen.
I think their Queen is almost trapped after they took the pawn. Chasing their Queen around would have developed your pieces.
on move 15, I like the move Qc1 because then there is a threat to push c4, which would kick the knight with tempo and then c5 would fork the queen and bishop.
how long did it take to get to 1500?
C4 should have been played to stop that knight move
Go Patrick mess em up
Hi Patrick, have you ever considered playing some blitz? Maybe it will help you to be a little faster in rapid as well.
He plays a lot of blitz but he doesn’t post the games
He isn't very good at blitz.
I am lower rated than you (so probably not worth listening to me lol), but yeah, being down a pawn or 2 I believe matters most in end game, but due to time pressures I don't see you in endgame much. Play style considerations may supercede chess conventions here??
That said, I had a more modest goal of 1000 and just hit it recently-- so keep pushing on to your goal!!
Good job finding the best way out of a lost position.
Weak black squares instead of b3 Qc1, ugly but necessary. The next step is to see your opponent's attack earlier, his ideas.
I was 1500 once, but that was a long time ago. Qb3 saves both pawns btw.
You should have just let his knight take one of your rooks and sac the exchange. That would have saved you so much time. His knight was a powerful piece and all your pieces were in each others way and your two rooks weren’t doing much. The way you played it, you lost a piece and the game was over from there not to mention spending three minutes on it.
1:22 ng3 here is never good, you’re much better just to take.
I agree. Somehow it is a book move, but it seems too passive.
@@scottniu8297 it’s just not very challenging, and doesn’t give you much success.
What's your rating?
@@MrLaeddis1 currently staying around 1700-1800.
@@sealcraft4353To reatret the knight is not bad. The point is to keep pices on the bord. My rating is 1900
There is a difference between book moves and the main line; by the time you play 5 Ng3 you're playing a side line of a side line. On a different note, I strongly suggest you revisit the review of the game you played early on against a 2,000+ subscriber during which he explained to you why you shouldn't review with the engine. It can be useful to see if you've missed a tactic, but what you're doing is simply a waste of time.
3:57, what is a half open file? 4:46, that's a check? You keep calling that a check.
Wow! This might be your worst management of time ever! You become so worried about what happens 10 moves down the road that you become paralyzed about making a move because it might not be the right move. Plus you admitted after you finally moved your queen, that you weren’t even aware of how much time you spent. So then you end up making bad moves because of a lack of time.
You should have listened to your gut and play queen c1 after than knight move.
f3 is de way o/
I feel like you’re spending too much time looking for the *best* move. Spending 3 minutes on something like Qe4 shouldn’t happen. Instead of calculating all of those lines before finding all candidates it’s better to look for moves and try to sort through them without really calculating. If you can’t find the *best* move after a long time it’s probably best to just play a move that isn’t an obvious blunder
No offense … but I think you’re too much ‘in your head’ now and afraid to make a move and just play good chess. I’ve been following you since Day 50 and you’ve had lots of improvements which is awesome!
Would strongly suggest working with a Chess Coach who can help you understand what’s a good move/bad move in current position… what’s a good pin and what’s not… when to push… when to defend… CHESS COACH UP!!!
Perhaps a little too passive and your pieces became cramped. In that situation try to trade pieces to free up more space.
It’s not so important to develop all your pieces immediately. Get your minor pieces active asap and your rooks will find their home later in the game.
So it’s ok to lose a pawn or two. It’s not worth losing by spending too much time worrying about saving a pawn.
