Tack för hjälpen
Don't ask your opponent for a date.
Officially, if you didn't shake hands, what penalties are imposed? Etiquette, after a game, the players put the pieces back on the board. However, a few tournament, I've seen players just walk away without shaking hands AND putting the pieces back.
oh yea. The regretting your move part stuck very close to me. I do this a lot, difficult position and 20 minutes in thinking about the move, going "oh yea, this is a great move", then moving it and thinking "oh no, I hate this move. I like to think of it as a Hikaru move. He does this a lot, and I hype myself up to thinking that it's a good enough move 😀
An ad in the middle of the video?really?
Good video
Does one still have to write down the moves during blitz or bullet
I won my first ever otb tournament i played in
i didn't know the standing on your turn was rude!!!!!! such helpful info!!!
my 600 elo ass watching this video knowing damn well i will never be in a tournament
Do illegal moves stand if they aren't noticed before the next move?
i think smelling bad is fine
This video is so good!
Fun fact: One of my FM opponents didn't know the 50-move rule and lost. That was a pleasant birthday surprise. So yeah, knowing the rules is important, as obvious as it might seem.
Tip #11: Do not overturn the entire table if you lose. I know it's tempting to send the board, it's pieces, your current opponent and possible future opponents flying, but trust me it just isn't something you want to do.
wait but how do you signify that resign, because in videos it looks like both a draw and resigning is doen by a hand shake
"smelling bad" is my secret weapon.
Great Video Anna. Despite the massive chess boom on YouTube, you identified something that probably wasn't covered by most top creators and made a video just for this.
Am i the only one who thinks she is really beautiful?
Thanks for the tips! Signed up for my first tournament at Stockholm's University. Very exciting stuff here!
I had some pop rocks cereal during my game once and my opponent got so angry. What a drama Queen,I know he could barely hear me
Great content, Anna! I started going to tournaments only recently and I even have one tomorrow. So in the beginning I had a lot of questions about how to behave on an actual tournament and I had to figure some of these stuff by myself. This video is super helpful. Thanks 🙂
Im at my first tournament ever today! I really wanted to play after your tournament streams!
We need a Pia vs alex botex video
Excellent advice! A couple of random thoughts: It's polite to remind your opponent that they forgot to press their clock button, but only do it once. It's ok to stand up and walk around, but don't stand behind your opponent. Remember to turn off your phone.
I litterally broke most of the "rules" you tell when i was young and played on a tournament.
#2 😩 Such a true with smelling
I once saw a player literally throw a chair after he blundered in a rook endgame.
i just won my first trophy yestarday, i was 3rd!!
I have a question: I noticed that when you take a piece, you start by removing the opponent's piece and then you move yours. Me, I always start by taking my piece, then I remove the one I want to take and I put mine in its place. Are both possible, or do you have necessarily to remove the opponent's piece first?
As an unrated player, I was in a drawn position with an IM (about 0.5 to him) and I asked him for a draw and he scoffed in my face and chuckled as he said to me later he would rather lose to me than take a draw. Thoughts?
Where does this chick buy her happy pills. I swear I need those too!
I don't care who cares what, i play chess, gonna do what i wish in legal terms
Great video Anna. Very helpful
Can you tell me about sweden chess
I would add J'Adoube/ adjust to the must know list. You can touch and adjust your or opponents pieces in its square.
Been watching chess content for years and haven't seen anyone do this video before. I thought it was all thought of already!
9:26 you can just say I adjust.
What happens if neither you or your opponent see that you made an illegal move?
Please come to our Chess Club in Australia, I / we will give you $500 to play our club in a simul
if i should ever play you i make sure i smell good
What if smell becomes the new meta and everyone tries to out-stink each other in the world championships to the point even the audience won't be able to handle it either? lol!
Joking aside, I never played in any OTB tournament. But they seem really intimidating with all their rules and regulations. Like, game-wise the rules seem all intuitive if you know how to play chess already, but there's all sorts of stuff on specific circumstances and a lot of etiquette to memorize that's not so intuitive. I'd probably just be DQ'd every time.
after ten years we still refer to stinky jordan as a guy who worked for us once for 2 months. thats how bad it is to be the stinky guy wherever u go. dont be stinky jordan.
dream girl. so talented.
In a tournament, if your opponent makes an obvious mistake, like moving the wrong piece because they didn't see they're in check, can you let them move it back?
This was really good advice.
At what rating should you start playing tournaments?
#11 and above all else, have fun
