Eliminate visual distractions
is it just me or did that guy at the beggining's elo go down after 8 wins💀
if I lose 2 games in a row I'll always stop playing and if I really wanna play chess I'll do problems instead
i started playing the bongcloud and my elo was up by 2000 already
UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF YOURCOPPONNENT INSTEAD OF ONLY focussing ON YOUR OWN GAME PLAN
Ritalin helps me focus
When I gey stuk and there's mate in two I just ceep checking the enemy king tell he blunders and now it's even
To caculate you should look for these 3 things Number 1: look for checks that your opponent can make and attacks Number 2: look for checks and attacks, if you see an attack its probably best if you do it Number 3: look for open files and free pieces
This helped so much, thanks.

Call me old-fashioned, but a pinch of Adderall helps me focus.
1. Visualize that you're a tough opponent, also when the chips are down. Instead of losing faith when you lose a piece, complicate the situation on the board and go for that checkmate.
2. Get that win-streak mentality going.
I think a series of checklists would be helpful.
1st checklist is about what opponent did last… Where did my opponent move last, is this piece threatening any pieces? If so, is that piece defended. Am I doubly sure that piece is defended and the result of capturing back would result in a discovered attack or something? If my opponent captures and I trade does he have a possible discovery attack? Does his take force a particular move that then leaves a piece undefended? Did my opponents last move reveal a discovered threat such as he just moved a piece out of the way that revealed a discovered attack? If so run through the checklist again looking at this piece instead of the first piece.
2)Checklist of all immediate direct threats my opponent has. I’m not going to make the checklist of checklists for you but it would have a lot of questions you have to answer like the above and then what you do about it.
3)checklist of all the indirect threats… can my opponent fork a piece in the next move? Create a check with a forced move? Etc etc
4)Run through this checklist again based on wherever your piece moves to to see if it is a save square or can be captured or attacked or kicked with a pawn movement
5)go over checklists for attacking. What weaknesses did my opponents last move leave, what pieces was he defending is his piece protected, pawn structures, etc? And then where can I fork my opponent or something in one or two moves or can I get more pieces into the attack or set up discovered attacks, or kick a piece or whatever
Once you go over the checklist for several games it should become part of your natural thinking process
I won 10 games in a row
I was struggling at 600 elo for more than 3 months but after this video I am at 700 elo just after 7 wins in a row
All thanks to the mighty Chess Page 1
Set up the option to confirm move.
This way after you move it says “are you sure”? And then you say out loud “are you sure you aren’t doing something stupid?”
Then, Every time I blunder or am about to blunder but don’t click confirm, I crank up my tens unit to maximum and shock the hell out of myself.
After enough of these shocks, now when I’m about to blunder it physically feels wrong
Aversion therapy.
I’ve also developed paranoia and insanity as a result like most good chess players.
Lots of puzzles! (:
Play less, play better
Actually an amazing video and great tips
since i have adhd I chew gum to focus i don't think its for everyone but its good to try it out
Thumbnail is very cringe dude
Can 300 elo players find brilliant moves their opponent made, because i found a sacrifice my opponent made without any help
When listening to phonk my roman emperor roars at me and says checkmate this @ss
The tip i usually tell others is to not let your emotion and ego run the game. Get ready to loose alot ( from GothamChess)
This tip make me from 260 elo to 889 elo this day and I am still improving my skills
best tip ever : never force your self to play and study chess.
When you start a game play with the intention to win
Enough sleep, which I seldom get because here the tournaments start at 9AM and end around 4PM-6PM 🫠
The only solution to that is to go to sleep at 9PM or earlier
Also joining some chess discord with helpful 2000+s works too, as long as you're down for a deep analysis of your own games and you're willing to document your own thought process in your own games.
I'm still a noob after all this shit tho, so idk I have to sleep more
complete a ton of puzzles, they help way more than playing a lot of games
Don't play too many games back-to-back, you'll start to blunder way more and you'll miss more opportunities
Things that help my chess:
1. In online chess, play with warm colours/low brightness
2. Get comfortable so you don’t have to keep on adjusting
3. Learn ONE opening for white
4. An ineffective move is better then a blunder
5. Don’t always try to spot the best move
6. If you lost a few games/are feeling bad, consider taking a break
7. Get good sleep and improve your energy levels
8. Drink caffeine. This helps because it gives you energy
A thing that I find very useful is to recognize the the key moments of a game and actually to take time rly thinking about how the game will go o based on your move . I mainly play 10 min , whenever I have to make a move like closing a diagonal with a pawn , or exchanging piece , I take at least 1 minute to envision the continuation of the game . Also I listen to eminem for confidence, it rly helps if you actually belive you are better than the opponent and prove it , rather than moving pieces hoping you don't love în 30 moves .
I lost 200 rating in a single fu*king Day
I will come back and comment let c how much I am focused. 🏃💨
get done with your homework and shit, gets alot of stuff off your back
Can’t say it enough, I love the videos and the humor is great!! My take away is to increase my time to 15:10 and to get rid of distractions! Thank you
A good way to focus in general is learn a new skill or about a subject that that takes focus to achieve it. This could be playing a musical instrument, model making or studying a subject you want to know more about.
Otherwise mindfulness and meditation exercises will help you to relax and focus on the present.
Never take on any activity that requires concentration if you're tired, stressed or emotional.
If you're having a losing streak, stop playing. Return to the games you played the next day and learn from them. Learning how to play chess is a life long pursuit.
Do some puzzles for 10 minutes.
∆ think more in complex positions. Because there might be tactic.also you could blunder in that type of position
∆ think more in the endgame because if you do one move wrong,you can turn a completely winning position into a completely lost or drawn position.(Happened to me many times😢)
In my case I do not do blunder and I win and in endgame I used to think more
Play the board not the elo
Focus on your focus
people tend to be distracted by their emotion. I am not saying that you should not have emotion, but deal with it properly. When I detected emotion rises, I just give myself some time, allowing the feeling to flow in my mind, the emotion will flow away in like 20 seconds. Dont hold it, it takes will power to do so , and its unhealthy. Allow it to exist, to flow and give it time. And its totally worth it to spend 20 seconds to avoid a blunder. If you can avoid sentimental distractions, not only in chess but in life, you already win.
Make video on French defense
No GothamChess was harmed in this video😁
Playing face to face rather than dumb online chess
I’m good at hanging pieces so I learned openings that involve hanging my pieces that also give me a huge advantage
