The SECRET To Stop Blundering Your Pieces In Chess

In this video I explain a method to stop blundering your pieces in chess. I use it all the time, and I think everyone else should too, especially in the lower ratings. This is episode 2 of my speedrun to 2000 and in this episode I’m rated 500. Hope you enjoy the video 🙂

    Shenanigans is the word you're looking for

    I think the opponent was also recording a youtube video to explain how to play with 500. But the things went wrong.

    Awesome use of basic chess fundamentals. Great lesson, Anna!

    Wow, I've been playing chess for 50 years and I finally learned some very valuable principals that I know will improve my game. Thank you so much, young lady.

    Anna… You're so cool, you could be an air conditioner!
    Love your videos, especially the NYC ones.
    You and Mike should have your own TV show.

    Ive actually improved my rating 150 pts in a week since watching this – genuinely great advice

    so happy I saw the really difficult move before Anna showed it (thats a popoff in itself)

    Thanks Anna, this was rerally useful. I´ll watch it again!

    whered you get 99% from? dont make up random statistics

    Anna's videos always teach me a lot. Now to remember it all while playing.

    Very helpful. A good reminder to not overextend your position unless there is a tactic.

    that 500 player was not that bad tbh. Played way way beyond my expectations

    Shenanigans was the word I think you were looking for.

    Great vid – simple but should be effective – thanks

    This is one of those videos that's makes me remember why I'm down here in the scrub levels. Ms. Cramling has such simple advice. Keep your pieces defended. Don't move them where they aren't defended.

    Was I doing it? Nope. I was trying to play aggressive and make those big, fun, sweeping moves across the board. I was overextending myself.

    After this video, I played four games in a row following Anna's rule. I won all of them. I missed some good attacks but I won comfortably in three of four, and she's absolutely right that your opponents will blunder their pieces for you.

    Even that last win, where I wasn't watching a piece I should have been, ended up being okay because (wait for it) my opponent blundered his win away.

    Anybody can 'miss' something every now and then even grand masters

    I have a trick that always works…don’t play chess…

    the thing with my blunder is, its so obvious yet i still blunder them, like a 1-move away from blunder not some kind of traps i fall for

    500 and playing like that he is not 500 more like 1400

    Watching you talk instead of playing with mere seconds left on the clock made me so anxious…

    Such enthousiasm 😂😂however NO RISK NO GAIN ?!?! Anyway keep up the good work funny girl, at least people will be inspired to play more👍😃

    That 500 rated player is better than me (I'm 1000)

    If you’re watching this video, there is a 99 percent chance it’s because of the thumbnail

    why would you make for a rook instead of a queen?

    Sometimes I see my blunder right after I make it. But then the chess engine does not take advantage. So I think maybe my blunder was a brilliant sacrifice the engine caught and avoided. But then I think since the engine is set to a low rating maybe it countered my blunder with its own blunder. Do engines deliberatly make blunders or do they just play weak when set to a certain rating level?

    One of the greatest informative videos ever

    I just saw her blundering her queen to a 10 year old, thinking it was a Rook! 😂

    My respect to someone when they play London 📉

    But I LIKE to blunder my pieces! That's how I maintain my 300 Elo!

    The only thing this did for me was make me stressed of all the close calls on the clock you made XD
    But yes this was actually pretty enlightening, thank you.

    I only practice safe chess and get checked regularly

    Anna a superb video and not really oversimplified but very practical! I am a 1500-1600 player and SO many games in that range are also decided by a single loss of a piece. Often it's not an obvious hanging piece but the result of a modest combination; then the rest is straightforward. I'm going to explore your other videos intended for amateurs like this who want to improve their game and rating. Also your enthusiasm is so infectious! It demonstrates well how learning can be fun!
