  1. 1:13 yeah….. but I’m 400 and I use friendly and use hints a lot

  2. I'm a patzer and I'm proud of it! And, yes, I drew once in an International Open Tournament with a strong IM. After all, "every dog has its day!" 😁

  3. There are times when I play really nice, but I also make silly blunders. I do try to think from my opponent's perspective, But then I lose on time. 😢

  4. Im so bad that you just read my mind twice 😭😭😭😭

  5. not only can i not explain the opening i also dont think i can finish this video

  6. thank u so much man , i needed that video .

  7. Basically I'm bad because I take a game as a game and I don't overthink about it when playing. Seems right, it's better to be bad at chess I guess.

  8. 5:41 i was actually like bishop g5 cuz when im confused from all sides i give check
    and to protect the king they got to move king or ruin their own position
    thats some master level noob thinking XD

  9. One of my biggest weakness is bishops, my brain Just stops working and can not see the bishops sometimes, many games i hang some pieces just because i forgot the bishops

  10. At 15:36, I think BLACK was thinking he wanted to "pin the QUEEN" to the KING. Just not fully thought out.
    I don't think he wanted to trade QUEENS, but of course that was best course for WHITE.
    I'd bet BLACK thought "he cannot take my QUEEN because it's protected by a PAWN"

  11. …says the guy who is barely 2300 and would not be able to get an IM norm any more. Red thumb.

  12. every move have a looser or winner thats the key

  13. elo of 100, i am outside of this range.

  14. @GothamChess How much do you want to coach me 1 on 1 for 3 days. Preferably Friday- Sunday

  15. 5:39 watching this video for the second time and still I considered queen takes knight as the best move😢

  16. "do not think youre outside of this video" me, a 200 elo player: hum….

  17. I'm bad because I only started 3 days ago..

  18. It´s funny but I see this games of people 1400 and I wonder why the people I play, 1000, 1100, are SO good at chess. They don´t make this kind of mistakes, not as often as you would think.

  19. 5:35 nah Bro! Only someone who doesn't understand a checkmate would do something so stupid as taking the knight!!!

    People won't lie!
    I haven't played for 15 years! I still know a checkmate!

  20. these videos make me realize how awful I am, lol. im just starting to try and learn chess – im having trouble finding content basic enough to help me, cause i have no idea whats going on

  21. me watching this video not understanding anything:🥲
