Chess Match: INDONESIAone (1536) vs jrobi (1587)

[zerolord999]

jrobi the knight played to A3 @3:17 was to prevent you from playing your knight to c2 threatening his rook cause you know his queen wasnt going to attack your knight cause it was lined up with the bishop but its still looking silly but it had purpose ^_^

[159yankees]

At 10:04, would nf4 be a good move?

[159yankees]

@159yankees haha, Well I guess you answered it for me.

[TheDogsDevils]

at 1:46 y not try for the greek gift!!!!!!!!!for those of you who do not know the greek gift this is how it goes:  h4 Bd7,Bxh7 Kxh7,Ng5+ Kg8,Qh5 and whatever Black does, forced checkmate on h7 by white queen

[edd9d8]

youre a boss thanks

[turbotrice]

very cool game :)

[mrlsinc]

Its pronounced al-YEK-een

[sych1399]

Great video. Sounds surprisingly like waitzkin, and the commentary is very similar also. No doubt you have moved well above the 1500 ratings.

[themafia306]

6:30 what do you think about ...Qc7?

[Llynok]

2:10 -- Ph6! AHHH.

[kuffell]

5:05 Bishop d3 would be actually a blender. Good video I like to play this opening for black

[TheChessBeginner]

@kuffell I agree, Bd3 would lose to Bxd3 because the White Queen is the only piece defending it.

[dp1569]

Jrobi, at about 9:53ish, the most obvious move in my mind is to put your knight on f4 attacking whites queen. After the queen moves off, knight can then move to e2 forking white and capturing a rook.

[fundyspokerblog]

"Thrust F6 forward like a Spartan spear". Hahahahahaha! GREAT line, which is one of the reasons I love your videos. Not only educational but entertaining as well. Other guys just sound so boring when they're explaining moves but you come up with lines that also show your passion for the game.  "Ripping into the position" is another one of my favourites.

[aceofspades7050]

jrobi, do u have any more recent videos of your actual matches? I greatly enjoy these and am curious what your rank is right now??

[alexlaw7734]

I agree with thegreatNEb

I feel resigning here is a bit early. Ra2 would have garunteed the win back of a pawn, and the black king still has to move all the way to the c file in order to promote the weaker pawns.

[thegreatNEb]

That last move Re6 was brilliant.

I'm very much a novice, so I feel like White gave up too soon here. In subsequent moves I see the check from the knight, followed by the rook falling, followed by the pawn on b3 being taken. Is there no chance that the white king and knight could stop the black pawns from promotion?

I find the King and Knight combo to be very frustrating to attack with in the endgame.

great video again, many thanks!

[bannnjac33]

the best analzsis of chess on the internet!

[pedroca2424]

´´These videos are addicting´´ never heard anything more true lol

[aronoldm]

just now he made a mistake when he moved his bishop to d3. you could capture it jrobi!

[tarunthaaaa]

[plugger543]

dear Jrobichess, I have a chess game that I would like u to analyze, i won, but i would like to know if i could of check mated faster, and what i should of done to improve my structure, etc. if u agree to analyze tell me and i'll send a link to the vid.

[MrMeowmix9994]

Jrobi doesn't make mistakes; he lets his opponents develop a false sense of confidence before slapping them with utter humiliation.

[cuber9]

at 1:48 your opponent had a greek gift which wouldve won him the game..

[bsht123456]

whos jrobi? hes only 1500 and hes an adult...

[armatageshanks66]

Author of these videos.

You make it sound like being rated 1500 is a bad thing.

What are you, a snob?

[TittyTittyBangBangXX]

6:45 why not bishop to D3 and if he takes Night to D3 forking the 2 rooks??

[kranya75]

u rock

[kranya75]

lollolollololollol

[FOIVSI]

At 3:03 What do you people think about ..Na4, threatening Nxb2 and hoping for b3?

[narutoccgattics]

you got much higher



[HandyTheXxxX]

What rating are you at now jrobi? Have you cracked 1600 yet?

[DrLasker1]

Well played jrobi. You were clearly the better player in this game.  (nice analysis too =)

[majotnf]

thx for the vid... ur current elo if u dont mind askin me...M

[Damhiz]

good game, and were those ratings from chess[dot]com

[MusicalAdrian]

Wow. For the first time ever, you prompted me to pause the video to assess the position, and I was actually able to see what you were driving at.

[chesswinner7]

Great video! Enjoyed it so much and learnt allot! I Play the Sicillian Defense Nadorf variation as black I used to play the Alkine defense but I decided the Sicillian Defense I better because later on in the game I usually find My nights in a Horrible position! I have one question for you what opening do you play as white?

Great vid, Chesswinner7

[jac7232010]

I have a few exciting matches I've played online could I submit them over to you for a analysis review? And put your twist of what you do like your utube video commentary

[adhdboy699]

what about Re8 at 10:46

[urilikescrack]

What would you recommend to a 1320 rated player to help improve his chess? I do good in the opening but I get ripped apart  with attacks on my kingside and positional mistakes. Check out my player profile on FICS chess and give me some advice. (Urilikescrack).

[xAllAboutMe]

I like the way you talk, it's very interesting ;D

[sahilmakhija2007]

u are doing a gr 8 work btw what is ur rating

[jestrogoal2]

on 3:05 , why not the queen to d7 ? you have the rooks connected and protecting the b5 quare and both bishops...? Btw, all your videos are excellent!

[bassieeee7]

I think at 06:32 a better move for white would be c5. After some material exchanges i think that black will either lose the b7 pawn or the knight on b4. Interesting game Jrobi!

[CablloBlanco]

Yet another excellent video. Thanks!

[KillerPawn2]

14:06 why not R-d1? then you get a rook behind your passed d pawn.

[saahil0489]

good game jrobi!!

do you play on chesscube?if not,plz join us on chesscube.we would love to have you there.

[UberDTfreaK]

at 10:30 do you really want him to have a pawn on d7?

[VitalSigns1]

I like how this game gets very developed before any pieces get captured. You don't usually see that.

[MyMusicalMelody]

you are very good at analyzing

[soldier4242]

I completely agree i have been following Jrobi for longer than i can remember

[MyMusicalMelody]

yes and he is the best chess channel on youtube-- if not the world!

[ahmology]

at 13:26 when u threatened your opponent was thinking about queen to h5 after u thrusting that pawn a pretty good move but he forgot about his rook un protected

[dantube11]

thanks for the video

ciao

[BobbyFischer0000]

another good video robi. do you play on ICC?

[deluxdevil]

what rank do you currently hold Jrobi?

[DaTUkrAinIanKiD2]

jrobi (1587)

[TheSaintPain]

Nice vid

[bassieeee7]

i mean knight to f4 ofcourse

[bassieeee7]

He jrobi, your videos are very interesting!

at 10:00 isn't knight to F5 a good move? It forces the queen to move and if the queen moves you have a knight fork on e2 to win the rook. If the queen tries to go to e3 for a queen trade you can still make the fork: Qe3 Ne2+, Kf1 Qxe3, fxe3, Nxc1

[UnderDog988]

why is he just rated 1500?

[jrobichess]

Was rating at time of this game - higher now but I go by last posted video to keep it simple. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[UnderDog988]

Yeah because some of your analsy are pretty good and rate much higher then 1500. Also am 1800 and some the people that i play are rated higher then me but play less good then you.

[tarunthaaaa]

@jrobichess: Dear jrobi,

Pls let me know ur current rating & how much time did u spend 2 get 2 this rating from 1500.??

Thanx, TARUN

[MrDan1066]

Very good thanks Dan

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out Dan!

[AgeofEmpiresPlayer]

Great video jrobi!!!

[jrobichess]

Thanks!

[drizztman101]

@jrobichess couldn't your opponent at 14:26 have played Kf2 taking out your jump square and activating his king?

[HeYImMikiie]

lol 13:04, thrust f6 forward like a spartan spear. very entertaining.

[sourdiezel0916]

these videos are addicting

[ochamocha]

I think he uses Rybka 3

[goldkidaran]

JRobi what is your latest rating

After analysing all those games you must be getting good.

I wouldnt mind a correspdance game.

[chessguy0]

I think it would be helpful to point the fundamental things. You had the idea for a favorable minor piece trade with Nb4 (good thinking, not bad) to which your opponent should have kept up normal development with Nc3. Then again fails to play Nc3 by playing Na3. Giving you a great game out of the opening.

Fundamental points like these will help your viewers more than engine analysis (eg 6:30) that will leave them thinking like 7:15 "I like how the knigts surround that pawn"

[sk8erboi248613]

IM A HUGE FAN!

[born2range8]

I think instead of move Re1 for white (time 4:20) was bad move because Nf3-e1, follow up with Na3-c2, would be nice since you will be force to move the knight on b4.

[LifeChalice]

That's interesting. But actually I didn't know your rating before. My word is that you are much more better teacher than what you are as a player ;-) But someday you will be a good player too

[downrightignorant]

wow

another long awesome video

[Seananananan]

I saw the fork move!

[monkeykillz23]

wuts your chess ranking now?

[jbragadeesh]

Hey.. I got impressed by your video uploads. And i've uploaded a game and added as a video response. I'm your official fan now.. :)

[DaScrews360]

I think the knight move to a3 at 03:36 was just to guard c2 square.. Nice game, jrobi.. Thanks for posting..

[06hurdwp]

at 10:17 i would've played knight to f4 because if we do the queen trade his knight can't do anything for the short term, but the knight can take the rook, and it can get checkmate in 2 moves with the queen.

[yakov53]

lol prety meen check..love thet..9:54

[06hurdwp]

thats gotta be the longest game uve played so far

[felixutube]

Great game mate, you have an amazing mind for chess, loved that last move that caused him to resign.

Just wondering are these games timed, if so how long are they?

[jrobichess]

Thanks Felix - for standard games I generally play 30 mins + per player. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[NeverDawiser]

great video, makes me appreciate more about forking with the knight ( if not the bishop! )

[jrobichess]

Thanks NeverDawiser!

[MxChriz]

good one

[musicguitar]

OH man! you absolutely rock! i wish i could take some lessons from you!

[undyingflame27]

Lol go to his channel and go to the first video he ever posted. It is soooo bad.

This guy has improved so much on his own. Props to him. Love his videos.

[jrobichess]

Thanks guys - it's been a fun journey so far for sure.

[fezzjr]

i will say again your personal games (or anyones for that matter) are my favorite vids... love to hear what you have in mind when you make a move... also just curious why you haven't gotten an offical rating and begun playing OTB tournements?

[jrobichess]

Thanks Fezz!  The long and short of it is that I don't live in an area with an established club for tournament play. I am looking to make some trips in the near future to begin some OTB tournaments though - I will post when it happens. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[mickaelx99]

"thurst f6 open like a spartan spear"

Awesome quote, great video.

[jrobichess]

Thanks mickaelx99! =)

[topshonuff]

Great comeback.. gg

[darkling9109]

Nice and educational as always. I've been going over my games a lot, recently comparing old games with new; it's always nice to note the improvement in play.

Hey also you mentioned correspondence chess, are you playing via email or traditional mail? I've recently joined the International Email Chess Club and have found I enjoy email chess and the high level of play it offers, in addition the international factor is pretty cool. :)

[darkling9109]

bah nevermind on my question, turns out the answer is right on your channel, imagine that lol.

[PhoienixSniper]

thanks for the vid it helps me quite alot in lerning the alakine defence a bit more

[daveincork]

It's Alekhine defence, don't mean to be pedantic - just can't help it! Thanks for the video :)

[Myleanne14]

thanks for the upload, good video.. nice tactical win at the end jrobi... keep up the good work..

[yp06407012]

As always some thing to learn from this video also. Thanks and looking forward for more.

[Supreme4321]

i need to play you, go to Yahoo games and sign up for free i need to play you

[lolmmmol]

i love your chess game analysis. keep posting them

[tallguy1618]

these are excellent vids. i don't play in leagues or anything, but I can actually stand a chance against my dad now. It's funny, when im playing and thinking about the different moves its like i hear jrobi's voice inside my head

[luisfranciscanora]

lol that was very very interesting..

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Thanks for the video, I'm learning a lot from your games.

I especially like how you dealt with losing the knight.

Are you on FICS? (I think you mentioned that somewhere before)

[kennyb270]

7:14 "I also liked how there was 4 knights surrounding this pawn, I thought that was pretty cool" LOL, fun times.

[KungFoodChef]

we all make mistakes!

[smashinsomething]

Nice work 'thrusting F6 forward like a spartan's spear'. HAhaha! Great video again!

[SNoCappidona]

nice jrobi... thank you so much for posting this. I love the alehkine defense and play it almost exclusively on pogo. I've been looking for grandmaster games on youtube with the alehkine defense but i can't seem to find any so thanks a lot for this man.

[downding]

Haven't checked chess vids lately, but it's nice to see that you're back. This was a very nice video, nothing dramatic but a good game to show how a mid level chess game could and should be played. Good recovery and finish too.

[jrobichess]

lol

[jrobichess]

Thanks Sasuke149 - glad to hear that!

[pejoni26]

at 5:07 you say: "If my opponent plays bishop to d3 i bring my bishop back to e6" ??? Why not just capture the bishop ;);)

[jrobichess]

Because then my bishop on E7 falls and it's pretty useful in the position adding a defender to the knight on B4. .

[mustafaupk]

if he captures bishop, white rook on e1 will capture black bishop on e7 and get control of that file.

[jrobichess]

Plus the file as well - good comment mustafaupk.

[akvvarier]

nice video jrobi ..........

[jrobichess]

Thanks akvvarier!

[midasfan8888]

Cool.

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out Midas!

[bigcat55404]

I'm surprised white didn't just go Nc2 far earlier (say, in direct response to c6)... just strikes me as a far better challenge to your knight. Certainly, it'd be better than the theoretical futzing around with bishop threats that'll just give you the exchange that you want.

[jrobichess]

It wasn't too easy because of my light square bishop + knight bearing down on C2 - and the only defender would be the white queen. White could definitely prepare for that with Rc1, though, which was eventually played. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[Nola213]

great Video Jrobi, please keep them coming as you a bit closer to my skill level. I'm rated lower than you in 20 and 25 minute games on the FICS (thanks for directing me to that, and helping me set up Babas through you webpage, great stuff).

But yea good game, I can learn alot from these , more than watching high rated 5 minute blitz games; although entertaining, it's way above my level, and I don't really play blitz.

So again thanks for the upload, and please, keep the games comeing. thx

[jrobichess]

Thanks Nola - I appreciate the comment. I have slowed way down in my blitz playing to focus mainly on my longer time control performance. Blitz is fun, though, no doubt about it. =)

[Byakuyax13]

Another great chess lesson. Thank you for all your hard work!

[jrobichess]

Thanks Byakuyax13!

[bibcath]

It is very reassuring to see players of your caliber making silly mistakes because now I don't feel quite as stupid when I make silly mistakes.... :-)

[jrobichess]

There are some grandmasters who have dropped their queen's, so I think mistakes just will always happen - it's the frequency that we can modify. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[IAmNotNico]

your vids are awesome!

[jrobichess]

Thanks!

[cataphracts123]

When you moved your knight up to C2, instead, I like pushing the G pawn up to G5 and either he peels off the e5 pawn defender so the rook can take it or you get the pawn next move

[jrobichess]

G5 would definitely be a solid move in that position. Thanks for sharing!

[SuperDieMaxx]

plus 10 seconds for writing this comment o0

[Mrius86]

Your last move Rxe6 was brilliant!

Good job, I`m learning sooo much from listening to you and watching your videos! They just get better and better! :D

[jrobichess]

Thanks Mrius86 - I was happy to get the opportunity to play it. =)

[heraclitus44]

The rook taking the pawn is brilliant!

I'm looking forward to more of your videos.

[jrobichess]

Thanks heraclitus44!

[ghyogod]

very good Bf5 :) i think B:b1 would be better than Rb8 - it wins some tempos. the Ng4 Bf4 Nf6 is a waste of time resulting in the loss of one tempo and hes got a very good position now for the bishoop.

[jrobichess]

Taking the bad knight with the strong bishop doesn't do much for black's position unfortunately. After rook takes, white has A3 coming up and I think will be setting the pace of the game.

[Fruitjoke]

At 4:10 some time, white sould push the D pawn. It attacks the center and the knight on b6. I actually could see the fork straight away!

[jrobichess]

I don't think a D pawn push at 4:10 would be good for white. Black can just take the pawn, and if white recaptures black can just get a free pawn because the black knights will be defending D5.

[ebrn01]

jrobi i believe someday you will become a GM. its a long journey, you'll be there someday :)

[jrobichess]

Not sure about that but I am definitely going to push it as far as I can! I am excited about getting into some over-the-board battles with some points on the line. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[ALIENstupid]

nice video jrobi i enjoy them

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out A!

[DriftStallion]

Awesome!!! Im definitely looking forward to it!!! :-D

And those 4 knights around the pawn was cool! Lol

[jrobichess]

Thanks Drift! =)

[ArmSor]

At 5:07 or so, couldn't you just take the bishop on D3 and just win a piece?

[jrobichess]

No, because the bishop on E7 doesn't have a defender unfortunately. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[worldsavy]

Nice come back, it's amazing how many moves you can find when you analyze the game, I think most of us would have made similar mistakes as you.

[lilondra]

Oh noez Jrobi is posting frequently we certainly don't want that at all ^^ You kidding me ?

[jrobichess]

hehe thanks for checking out the vid lilondra!

[SrbijaDavidp]

11:22 you weren't threatening checkmate, there was after qxc1 nf1(just trying to look cleaver ;D )

[jrobichess]

Good catch David - it would have just been a rook after first taking A3.

[jrobichess]

Added a text bubble to the vid - thanks again for pointing that out.

[SrbijaDavidp]

no prob

[jrobichess]

Thanks R!

[dootdbc]

What time control do you play with?

[jrobichess]

30-60 mins per player. This game was 30 mins per player.

[mnfchen]

nice commentary, as always

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out mnfchen!

[assaultcito]

Nice match

[jrobichess]

Thanks assaultcito!
