    Great lesson professor!
    If I can make a suggestion: since "the first mistake" is such a recurrent topic on adult improvers, I would love to see a "First Mistake" series dealing with those different problems that all of us suffer.
    Thanks and take care of your health.

    You have no idea how much of a "mindblow" moment was your explanation that we can still safely castle kingside starting from 5:01. My first chess book was Logical Chess move by move, and the author there spends good amount of book scaring you from ever moving ANY kingside pawns, giving you multiple example where that eventually lost the game, even if there was no immediate threat. I guess that logic was firmly stuck in my subconscious, thank you for this amazing lesson!

    A real problem many of us have is really digging down into the requirements of the position. A good coach can guide us. However, many of us are alone. I recommend playing long classical games, doing postmortem with your opponent if possible then annotate your games via the lichess study feature. Only after fully annotating do you use an engine. The purpose is to find out the psychological reasons you made a mistake (did I fail to look for opponent's bestnresponses? Did I try a kingside attack when it wasn't warranted...?) Next, come up with a strategy for reducing the chances of making similar mistakes in the future. All of this goes into your annotations. Summarise and review your summaries periodically.

    Thanks for these lessons. I recently bought your course 'The Amateur's Mind' and it is amazing. I'am also studying How To Reassess your chess by Jeremy Silman. These two courses/books are really helping me 'fix' my chess. I am currently two years into my journey and almost 1800 (National Rating). My goal is to become a chess master in the next decade. I am not that guy who is trying to become it in a year, because I want to be realistic yet ambitious. Thanks Andras :)

You have struck a way of teaching that can only be reached when someone really tries to understand the underlying principles of a subject and additionally comprehends the deeper intuition of the game which can help with how you explain things to students

    It might not be as good as a coach but I've found issues like this with the engine by following the lines it gives and seeing why the eval drops. 1.6 -> -.4 is a huge difference.
    You can also play around on the analysis board and see what happens in the lines you were "afraid of".

    I think this is one reason why even if you don't have a coach, you should go over games with another human before you ever look at the engine. If you have a blind spot, you can't see it, by definition. Grab a friend or go over the game with some people on discord, or whatever but you need human eyes on it who you can actually talk to and ask questions to.

    I don't think Be3 is a real mistake, even Stockish 16 evaluates both Be3 and Nc3 the same (+1.1). After h6 was played, g5 is not a square for bishop anymore, e3 looks like the best spot. Nd2 and especially Bxd5 are screaming mistakes which student needs to understand of course.

    • @ChessCoachAndras

    Another very thought provoking video, which I fundamentally disagree with! Most of 605 million people who play chess regularly DO NOT HAVE a coach. And never will! For them, the First Mistake is Ne1?. (No Ifs & Ands, or Buts.) Why? Its the first move that PROVES the player made his move without considering his opponents possible replies, that is why. And for 604.5+ million players THAT is the only issue worth discussing. Why? Because its a bigger hole in 604.5 million buckets than positional understanding is, that is why. And then you say its easy to fix? Ouch! Man, I been working on it for 59 years, and its still an issue for me. (I am LiChess 2100, which is much better than most of those folks, so they cannot fix it either, evidently. So how easy can it really be? Yogi Berra, longtime coach of the New York Yankees baseball team famously said: "In Theory there is no difference between Theory & Practice. In Practice, there is!)
