  • dang! you almost lost! lol at 16:04, you gave black a completely free piece checking the king when N-h6. he could have simply Qd2xNh6, and your attack would have been sadly halted. my next move would have either been Qxf6 to swap queens, to rethink an attack and get my king out of trouble completely. if you play the waste move of g4-g5, even to get your rook involved, i feel that i could still offer queen trade by then and give myself some escape squares. it probably wouldn't go too well for u.

  • what was the name of the opening at 9:04? I like its quick development but can't find it online.

  • not sure if it was said but at 7:11, knigh takes pawn at d5 followed by bishop takes rook, then knight takes pawn at f6 wins 2 pawns. after knight to f8 to block mate at h7 you can take the rook and mate i think will follow or at least you can win back the bishop, because your rook is still attacking it.

    not sure though.

  • @d5fox dats wat i thought too,great minds think alike

  • @18:26. A possible idea could be to hit a check with the queen on e4. He could block with the bishop, but then you could play Nc2+ forking the king and the rook.

  • nice checkmate for the 3rd game, really epic :D hope to see more

  • on a side, one of the most discouraging and disappointing parts of chess is the propensity of players to resign rather than play to the end.

  • u r good o my god u rock

  • @14:18 what happened if black pushed rook to c1, wouldn't that result in mate after you pushed his king around for a couple of moves?

  • in the second game, u actually hang ur knight 1. Nh6+ QxNh6 ...your opponent didnt have to move the king...luckily he missed it though

  • great reviews, I like your channel alot, it definatly improved my game some! At 16:00 he was free to take your knight with his queen, I wonder why he didn't?

  • which application do you use to seek rated games? 

  • Just a quick question on your third game. What does Pawn to a4 do? I see it in some of my games but I could never really wrap my head around what it accomplishes.

  • lol first game...

  • You gotta love that opening SEQUENCE!

  • 21:00 missed knight fork on e2 (N-e2+)

  • I'd be scared if I played you.

  • At 16:06, black could've taken your knight with his queen

  • at 3:07, how its possible that the pwn tooked yours if they were in the same line ???

    great vids btw i really enjoy them

  • you're probably talking about En Passant. its a pawn move that takes another pawn after it moves up two spaces.

  • At 12:53 won't Rxe4 be better for black??

  • @laicharlie2004 White queen then does a back rank mate

  • At 10:48, you could've taken the knight with the queen.

  • After 4:45 you said: "If the knight comes toe4, I will just take and I´ve 2 pieces for the rook", but the can take the Ne4 with the rook, if the knight goes there, right?

  • Your "bird's opening" looked like the polar bear. :)

  • posistion at 18:37, couldn't you move your queen to e4+ then if Be2, Nc2+ forking the knig and rook knowing the queen can't capture?

  • Unless white were to respond with Kf2

  • Kf2 doesn't solve the problem, though, because black can still just play Nc2, which accomplishes two things: it threatens to expose the king, forcing it to g3, and it attacks the rook on a1. White can't block with the queen because after trading, the rook is lost. I'm sure there's a better move afterwards, but Qe4+ to Nc2 looks good.

  • haha, this is a good video.  You should do more of these. This is a bit more natural.

  • can u also try to do a longer game live? that would have been fun tooxD

  • loved it^^

  • hahaha, you're awesome!

  • i like this new blitz format, keep it up

  • You should do another one of the extended blitz videos in babaschess, they are great.

  • Hi: thanks for your excellent videos. I've played chess for many years so I can understand your presentation, and I really enjoy your style. Anyway, I paused the video at 25:25 and was thinking: that's where I'd get stuck trying to figure out a strategy. I'd be interested to see how you would use rybka to analyze a position like that, and how you would learn from the analysis.

  • I like this vid a lot!

    It's amazing how you can see down lines with so little time to analyze the position.

    5 stars.

  • in the 4 pawns attack game, you aren't meant to play e6 until you develop your light squared bishop

  • It was good, but I really enjoy the analysis more than the blitz itself. Thanks again Jrobichess

  • add in Qxe1 after Bxe1 xD made a wrong post

  • 4:40 Black could play Nd5 Nxd5 Bxe1 c6 and black is one piece up

  • Great video i enjoyed it

  • I like your funny comments:)

  • This is definately enjoyable.

  • I think its just awesome to see you play and hear some of what you are thinking of while you are playing.

  • Thanks for the feedback rachenabc123!

  • @rachenabc123 agreed! This is really helpful to beginners

  • no if he check with the queen jrobichess would have drop the knight down to c-6, think before you post a text comment please.

  • I didn't feel like going through all of the comments but at 10:48 why not QxNf4?

  • probably he didnt saw that line...

  • He missed it simply, you see the mouse concentrating on the action. QxNf4 would have been a good move...

  • 2nd time i watch this... nice vid again jrobi... also do you ever play in tourneys at your chess club?

  • in ur second game when ur getting into the ruy lopez wouldnt it be better to play knight to c3 insted of bishop to b5

  • I like both ideas. Running multiple games, especially with the same openings really helps get a grasp of what to look for. also individual games help with in depth maneuvers and whatnot. You can't possibly make a bad video anyway, they're all good so far, just keep goin!

  • at 6:45, Nxd4 going for Nxf6=game

  • Your doing a great job jrobi! I hope you can make some more chess blitz videos.

  • great vid u should do more seriously

  • yeah, that was really good. I like the format of watching games, it provides an overall view, unlike the other videos that start at a preset point and seem rather fragmented

  • Great vid, i personally enjoy this longer format, its really great seeing you play all those blizt games in one run, but i also want to see a regular chess game, you have helped my chess games alot. thanks and i cant wait to see more of this type of format

  • Great vid!! Cant wait to see more videos like the one you have made here.

    Thanks.

  • I enjoyed watching this, I believe you should do more like this and maybe some long real time games as well. Blitz games are always fun because blunders are numerous, but you should try a real time long game.

  • i really enjoy watching your real time blitz games, i also like this format better than the others, make the videos longer :)

  • Also at 10:48. I think after black recaptured with exd4, you could have snagged up the hanging knight on g4 with your queen.

  • At 15:05, after 1. g4 (great move btw), Qh6, I think you had the pretty good move Rd1 with threat of Rd8 next move. G4 kicked the black queen from guarding the crucial d1 square.

    1. g4, Qh6

    2. Rd1, Rd2 (only defense)

    [if 2. g6 (give king escape square)

    3. Rd8+, Rxd8

    4. Qxd8, Kg7

    5. f6# (mated by pawn on f-file guarded by queen on d8)]

    3. Rxd2, Qxd2

    4. h3

    You have a winning advantage in this simplified position. Still good to see you pull a beautiful win out of that whole mess.

  • 16:12 you are a genious my friend :P

    I did not see it

  • hi,

    at 25:38, what about Bc8-d7, than Rook c3, to double the c4 pawn to get some material.

    If he comes out with the b pawn to protect the pawn on c4, you just push up your a pawn

  • Really amazing vid , you should do more, i definately enjoyed this one :D

  • maybe Qe6 was a good idea at 15:55 because you can force mate with the smothered mate.

  • Comment removed

  • at 12:52 if black moved pawn to g5, what if white played rook to f1?

  • 16:06, he could have taken your knight with his queen and you would have lost lol

  • i thought so too but it was actually a forced mate. if queen took knight at 16:06 then white could have played pawn to f7

  • but then black could have just captured his the f7 pawn with his queen again

  • no he would just push up to F7 check the only move is king H8 then he could queen the pawn and when rook captures recapture with the queen or check with queen rook takes back and then pawn captures rook promoting to either queen or rook

  • In the second game around about 7 mins you had a crushing victory open to you. Nxd4 if black takes the pinned rook Bxe1 then Nxf6. Black has to move the knight to prevent Qh7++. A possible continuation being ...Nh4 Nxg8 Rxg8 Qe5+ Rg7 Qxg7++.

  • I like this please keep doing it!

  • 21:12, you could have just forked king and rook instead of taking bishop

  • At 10:48 you blundered.Insteed of Rxd4 you should have played QxN

  • Good video! I liked the long format, it was interesting to see the variety of games and how you handled each opponent.

  • 18:18 Queen to E4 check could have been nice 2 move ur Knight in a better position

  • Thanks for the video watched it 2 times now. I myself am really interested in chess but I am just learning the basics and have only few openings memorized. I like the longer video you shoud do more of these!

  • Boy, how I would love to play you Rob! HEHE

  • Please make a video on a queen king checkmate

  • nd5!!

  • Congratulations Jrobi on attaining a new best rating on FICS of 1258.

  • That's a great blitz rating isn't it! =)

    Maybe I should practice new things less on my blitz and get it closer to my standard rating. We'll see how it goes - whenever I try to play unrated for practice I land a lot of computer opponents which is annoying. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • i assume you playing against a cpu? if not then your opponent is a noob.

  • All real people in the blitz vids - thanks for checking it out!

  • The first game made me pissed. He gave you his queen for a bishop?! WTH is that about? Please tell me you were playing a computer...a very low level computer...

  • My commentary on the first game pretty much expressed my feelings on it. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • wat site or program is that?

  • Free Internet Chess Server - I have a vid on my channel along with links to software on my main page. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • do some of ur traps haha

  • I LOVE this :D can u do more :)

  • Thanks Tave! I definitely plan on it!

  • Can you please do a video on a Queen King Checkmate ?

  • what around 12:00 the other guy's queen could have taken ur knight for free : /

  • Yeah I didn't think through the rook capture long enough. I actually say in the vid I am gonna drop it but for whatever reason my opponent played his other move. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • at 6:14 I like queen takes PAWN.

  • at 3:45 you should have captured the pawn with the knight then forked knight and bishop

  • interesting your comentaries about Alekhine defence. Seeing the Fischer 's games agaist this defence, I had the impression that the agresive play of white is efective at the first moment, and then, is a very dificult defence for black, but very interesting endeed.

  • The defence definitely has its merits, and still has a healthy use at the top levels. That being said, it's definitely one of the more difficult ones when playing against certain lines at white's disposal - thanks for checking out the vid!

  • This was a good vid jrobi, 3 wins to one loss. AT 32:35 he might have forked your knights with the bishop on e3. i suppose? good intro to alakine defence. good upload. It is fine to have a long video like this as the games are unfolding and the suspense keeps it moving well i thought. best of luck

  • what website is this? I mean what website does jrobi play chess on?

  • Free Internet Chess Server - I have a video on my channel on how to get setup there. Thanks for checking it out!

  • where are you playing chess

    what website is that?

  • really good

    more vids of this kind would be great

  • Thanks - I appreciate the feedback!

  • what is your opponent doing?

    look 2:00 after pe4 why not just Qc2

  • 12:31: Oh yes it does. After the rook takes the knight, you can back-rank mate black.

  • hey jrobi, great videos!! how do u seek, ive got rybka too...

  • Hey do you play world of warcraft??

  • great vid

    fun to watch

    no problem with the length

    keep 'em coming

    5/5

  • keep making these videos.

    definitely fun to watch.

  • lol at 730: the knight is also attacking

  • Great video, as usual. I wouldn't worry too much about the 'quality of the commentary' - it's interesting to hear what you're focusing on and how quickly you're able to assess each move, and that can be picked out of sentence fragments and brief comments.  You'll never be able to do narration during a live game without disinvesting yourself of the outcome.

  • Can you do this more often? It is fun to watch?

  • i've watched your videos for the past 9 months with tons of excitement...

    not sure what interface you work with, but Yahoochess is free and no matter what, there is always tons of competition...

    i think if you can achieve a solid 19xx on 5 min games you rock...i'm sure you could

  • Comment removed

  • 8:37 OMG Jrobi plays WoW!

  • where is it

  • I really enjoyed the video the games were all fun to watch and listen to you thinking out loud is interesting so you should do that more often! One thing you could do instead is one less game so you'll have the time to analysis the other games more. Good job!!!!

  • Thanks for the feedback ezjisalive! Next time I am going to try to fit in some more critical positions from all the games at the end.

  • At 7:20 in game 2 you wondered if you could get compensation for the rook if you moved the knight. I don't think it was relevant. Nd5 Nf6 could've forced mate together with the bishop and the queen with the king in the corner there.

  • This was a good video. I enjoyed it.

  • Thanks recchi51!

  • hey jrobi, i've asked you before... i guess u never got around to answering it. What is ur real rating, blitz and regular? in real life?

  • I usually default to my last vid for rating, although I plan on entering official over the board standard rated tournaments this summer. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • I agree with the previous comments.

    It's instructive and fun to watch a game

    as it ebbs and flows. Many thanks.

  • Thanks john - appreciate the feedback!

  • I don't have the patience to watch videos that are much more than five minutes but I watched the whole video here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the good work Jrobi!

  • I am glad to hear that - I was unsure of the longer time limit when I uploaded. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • I like this type a bit more, bot only because it makes up for the infrequent postings, but also because it lets us see casual games which are just as important as the ones you regularly pick out. It's also always nice to see how someone reacts in real time. But damn, that was a quick 34 minutes! I guess time flies

  • Thanks Beatle!

  • Hey jrobi, how much does your rating fluctuate, and how much do you value your current rating? I find myself playing less with better ratings for fear I might lose the newly acquired title. Just wondering what your thoughts on the subject are.

  • Currently I don't place much value in my online rating, but I will be working hard for my official tournament rating starting this summer. That being said, I went through exactly what you talked about a number of months ago. When I get like that I just remind myself it's a great game, and it's fun. The rating part is just a number, and if the first two pieces are in place (having fun and studying because it's enjoyable) the rating will follow. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • 25:46 Bc5+ would have been okay, and your opponent couldn't really block it so then his king must go to h1.

  • This was awesome, I love hearing your thoughts during the game. Helps me recognize how bad a chess player i am. :)

  • Hi umm at 18:23 . . . cudnt u push ur queen to check on e4? and if he blocks with bishop then fork on c2 or if he pushes queen in front u can take queen and after he retakes with bishop fork once again fork on the c2 square with the night. . . i dunno i just thought that would be a good idea let me kno :). Even if he takes with the king u atleast made him unable to castle :D

  • eww spelled knight wrong -_-

  • Really like this style of blitz videos. Very fun to watch!

  • Thanks for checking it out Umba!

  • Cool video, found it on the most discussed list. I like these blitz games, and I like watching you play, as well as the analysis. Subscribed.

  • Thanks for the sub and feedback mytwosense!

  • yeah hehe totally oblivious there.  =)

  • Nice vid Jay how do you get it extended?

  • Please do this more often. It is fun.

  • this was a great video the extended time was great

    hey in 23:40 u moved the pawn to e4 and the white pawn somehow took it when he got to e3 is that a computer glitch or something?

  • Google "Pawn En Passant"

  • thanks dude i checked it out

  • i liked it

  • Glad to hear it hestafer!

  • Even if you wanted to be lazy, and not put any commentary on this video, I would of still watched it and greatly enjoyed it. (I swear the beginning of this sentence is like an April Fool's Joke, with the lazy part XD)

    On second though, keep the commentary, as it's awesome. ;)

  • Thanks kazabullx! =)

  • he could have killed your knight with his queen on the 3rd game near the very end lol

  • GIEF MORE! :D 5*

  • Yeah, I'd love to see more.

  • i like de blitz

  • Thanks walkman!

  • I love this style thanks J!

  • Glad to hear it ukruler!

  • great format, i wish the games were broken up with maybe a mention of your site, or behind the scenes footage. and then back to the next game.

  • I was thinking of breaking them up but opted for the more free-flowing option of just playing until it felt like a good time to stop. I would like to add more analysis at the end though (from more than one game). Will try that next time. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • ya blitz's all together was good

  • Thanks!

  • which interface are you using

  • I play on the Free Internet Chess server, and use Aquarium for analysis with Rybka 3. I have videos on both of those to help get you up and running. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • Hey, tnx for your reply i'm cheking your website everytime and this post was the first i ever made on your videos. When I have the ocasion to solve the daily chess puzzels and more, as i find your website a chess treasure. Hope to see more videos from you, cause i'm getting bored...

  • I enjoyed the extended video. (:

  • Thanks senekis!

  • Great video buddy. Can I ask what website you play on and what analysis software you use?

  • I play on the Free Internet Chess server, and use Aquarium for analysis with Rybka 3. I have videos on both of those to help get you up and running. Thanks for checking out the vid!
