    I almost bought a chess book at Elo 400 range. I'm having a hard time focusing once it comes to mid-game, and seldom do I last above 400. I can't count how many times I've had to climb back from 300. Sometimes it's full send on forming structure or full blunder mode because of the opponent's play at my elo. To grow, I need to do Puzzles, rapid games (don't worry about wins or losses), and study. Thank you so much! I'm ready for the grind. Insert songeboob with scholars mate blunder, checkmate.

    1. Always analyze your games
    Well, I would if they hadnΒ΄t made it so ungodly expensive recently

    5:15 Disagree with this one. Endgame principles should be learned from the beginning for two reasons:
    First, you don't have to do it later when it becomes more important
    Second, in this elo range, knowing these basic and slightly advanced endgame principles will give you an upper hand, meaning every game, you can try to push into endgame as quickly as possible and dominate there

    also about spending money
    you have tons of free features in lichess and stronger engines for free

    naroditsky and ben finegold are the best channels to learn chess by far

    Damn it only take 8 months for me to achieve 1800☠️

    it took 7 months for me to get to 1800

    I have a question i do not have diamomd membership to do puzzles.

    As an engineer, I appreciate the humor, the numbers, the approach… great great video! πŸ™‚ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

    Man I'm 19 and already got humiliated and destroyed by my grandpa πŸ’€

    Sooooo as a fellow chess player, I disagree. For one, who has backed you up? Is this some technique that GMs use? I do agree watching educational content on YT is helpful, but saying that puzzles are crucial? No. Of course, at a certain level, puzzles are really important, but until you reach 1500 elo, all you gotta do is know what a fork is. To get to 2000 elo (I'm using USCF elo, it would qualify as an expert, the first title that isn't class a/b/c/etc) that's when theory and opening-middlegame transitions become important. Also, bullet is helpful for vision and not blundering (I would recommend bullet for 0-1500 elo players and blitz can help intuition.
