LIVE Blitz Game #3 Queen's Pawn - Chess Network

[artmelik]

Wouldn't have it been better if at minute 3:18 you had played bishop takes d4? Your pawn structure would have have been so bad.

[iamachessaddict]

after he pushes d5 at around 1:40 in the video, why not Be5 with Nf3 in mind for the next move? if he takes the knight, exf3 and then Be2 and you might be able to start a pawn storm using your doubled f-pawns. if he doesn't go Bxf3 then you would just push e3 and develop the bishop normally.

[Treewstx]

After he pushes d4 with his pawn, attacking your bishop (around 3:15 in the video), why do you not take the pawn? It seems like that at least preserves your queenside pawn structure.

[ChessNetwork]

@Treewstx I think at the time I was just thinking that if my pawns are going to be as ugly as this, I had better come out a pawn ahead at least for the moment.

[aemc430]

@ChessNetwork you would have still come out ahead on a pawn if you would have eaten his pawn at d4 then he eats your bishop at d4 then you eat his bishop at g4 given you a pawn a bishop vs his bishop and keeping your pawn structure . unless im seeing something wrong here

[djrnyc11233]

Are you in NYC? Looking for a chess instructor for a novice.

[moviecritic6]

@djrnyc11233 No he is in Pennsylvania

[RelinaUlryy]

That WAS a very ugly opening.  But Thumbs up for quoting Herm Edwards!

[principles297]

at 4.40 i cant believe he didnt see the potential threat of the black queen and bishop.

[DynamicDeclan]

@principles297 he did actually see it

[principles297]

haha very funny.. when the guy took his pawn with the knight he said like "woh" and then he was at a loss HAHAHAHAHA

[Hukeyohi]

Best Queen Pawn opening is (generally)

1 d4 e4

2 Qd3?!

[sshamron]

EEEEEERRRR I want to see a game where you lose

[bitsgr]

witch software are u using for mate? thx from now if somebody can help

[tastybrain]

Kne4, of course.

[truesonicshadow]

Four people play checkers and scrabble,XD

[misteratoz]

PLEASE PLAY FIRST AND COMMENT LATER- I GET NERVOUS WATCHING THE TIME TICK BY while you leisurely explain...

[dachevashe]

@misteratoz It would be unfair to Jerry,s oppenents, I think, but you are right, besides the interesting games themselves, this videos make me laugh out loud wondering just how he does this. Wonderful!

[MrPropapanda]

Desperado move at 3:15 would be better. Bxd4

[AwesomeSeanable]

@5:24 Instead of Nxf6+, you should of done Bb5 so then you can castle.

[nblfyb]

I like watching these. Seeing the time and all. :D What you think you shoulda done after the knight took in the opening?

Benson and Tonic

myspace/bensonandtonicproducti­ons

[recchi51]

I use this opening all the time but have yet to figure out what it is called. Can anyone tell me?

[Breakz]

Hey Jerry do you think playing blitz games are a positive way for a beginner to improve their chess? or are they more for masters who have already spent years learning and can think quicker and just see better moves through experience?

another nice video thankyou

[MrMarson123456]

i would say do reguler befor blitz but thats just me

[wizzynoise4thewin]

@Breakz maybe you can make a video of a beginner blitz game and post it here? :>

[GenericPurpleTurtle]

You have a lovely voice

[draigan]

Hey man I really enjoy that you show terrible games like this because for us non grandmasters they really are a reality that we encounter now and again. After he played d5 I think you should have played kf3 and then after he plays d4 you played bishop to d2. That keeps all your pawns and everything together and allows you to potentially develop your white bishop to g2.

I really want to play you some games I am rated 1900 standard, but people tell me I am actually rated much higher. FICS!! :)

[ChessNetwork]

@draigan yes...this nf3 was suggested by others as well...definitely better than my choice in the game! =)

ChessEducator on fics..=)

[kevinhdo90]

In the end game phase... The reason you didn't take the pawn was why? :( Was it so the rook and bishop won't connect in attacking the king? Thanks in advance! -Kevin =)

[kevinhdo90]

I meant to say the pawn on the B file at the end of the game, sorry!!!! xD

[ChessNetwork]

@kevinhdo90 The reason: time. I wasn't thinking about making good moves. I was premoving...already moving before he moved.

[NottinghamEngland]

thumbs up

[ChessNetwork]

@NottinghamEngland thx =)

[ghfmp]

gerenferen1 Thanks for the comment but there is not a flaw in my analysis. after

4.d5 e5 Bc1 there is no pawn on d4 for black to take. due to move four. (4.d4-d5)

ghfmp

[crayrayc]

lol maybe he disconnected! how did u comeback from that?

[ChessNetwork]

@crayrayc I'm 25% irish?! =)

[ghfmp]

The opening was rough. I thought white's best chance at an advantage was 4.d5 e5 5.Bc1 Nce7 6.Nc3 c6 7.dxc bxc 8.e4 Nf6 9.Be2 Qc7. I don't really like 5.bxc exf 6cxd Rb8 7.Qd4 Bxf3 8.exf Qd5 9.Qb8 Qc6+ Kd8 b3 Nf6. And 10.fxg leaves white's pawns a mess. 10.Bxd4 Qxd4 11.fxg keeps Q-side intact. After the opening you played really well. The game was headed for a draw but 47. Kb7?? Bg7! -+ instead 47.Kxb5 and black is slightly better, but probably still drawable. Overall good game. ghfmp

[ChessNetwork]

@ghfmp Thanks for the thorough analysis! Good insight. I only disagree with one thing...47. Kb7 I give !! instead of ?? since it wasn't time to be finding best moves, but instead to be premoving! =)

Thanks for continuing to comment. I look forward to more of your analysis. =)

[gerenferen1]

I think there is a flaw in ur analysis:

Using ur line and continuing 4. d5 e5 5. Bc1, Black can just play 5...Nxd4. Black will then be a pawn up.

[hcalderoniano]

OMg i really thonk you was loosing at the end XD...great great game,,, congratulatios, you are pretty good!!!!!

[ChessNetwork]

@hcalderoniano Thanks for the comment. =)

[aetyate]

what program is used for these online matches?

as much as i'd rather play with an actual board, i'd still like to get practice in @_@

[ChessNetwork]

@aetyate Camstudio recorded Babaschess for this video.

[Catsfaith]

Harsh start. Still a learning experience on how openings can be disrupted, and how valuable time can be in blitz games..

Thanks for the upload!

[ChessNetwork]

@Catsfaith Yes...and my setup was disrupted big time. Thanks for the comment! =)

[shotokun16]

do you have an ICC account chess?

[ChessNetwork]

@shotokun16 Yes.

[mormril]

Wow, very tricky position that you arrived at very early in the game. Nice to see how you handle this position.

[ChessNetwork]

@mormril Yes...tricky/awful. =)

[mormril]

Haha, it did look like you were on the verge of losing for a bit.

Well, I think I might have played b3 instead of f3, but then I can't really say anything as you would've probably crushed me in an actual match.=p My FICS blitz rating invariably hovers around the 1500-1600 area.

[ChessNetwork]

Yes...others have suggested b3...also Nf3 and h3 were likely better alternatives. Thanks for the comment mormril! =)

[Vicious620]

I like these videos....subscribed...come out with more...i learn a lot from your videos because you explain your reasoning behind moves and i like to see the perspective from someone rated 2000+.

[ChessNetwork]

@Vicious620 Great. I'm glad you are benefiting from them. That is the intent! Thanks for continuing to comment the videos! *handshake* =)

[andydeniedyou]

great vid, loved how you kept your cool when time was running low

[ChessNetwork]

@andydeniedyou Thanks...it's important to keep one's cool. It allows for clearer thinking imo. Thanks for the compliment. *handshake*

[Chesu360]

lol he might have disconnected .. so concern xD!!

[ChessNetwork]

@Chesu360 Yeah...I was wrong! =)

[MediumKuriboh]

good game, nice use of time

[ChessNetwork]

@MediumKuriboh Thank you. =)

[KalkiAwaits]

I like to see nasty positional play, makes it interesting. Fun Win.

[ChessNetwork]

@KalkiAwaits Thanks for the comment Kalki. =)

[Muki13]

I think, you should make another video, but playing a guy that much higher than you, it will teach us how to play against stronger opponents! It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as it was a good match :)!

[ChessNetwork]

@Muki13 Probably within the next couple of days I'll post another. Keep an eye out. ~¿o =)

[freeagentfreek]

tough game, but a good job none the less. thanx again for the upload!

[ChessNetwork]

@freeagentfreek You're welcome. I appreciate you continuing to comment! =)

[comface]

Nice work spotting the pawn fork in the opening... I thought you were just gonna be up material.

Once again, you have out-blitzed your opponent in the endgame after a slow start...

Well, whatever works!

[ChessNetwork]

@comface Thanks. Yes...fortunately the clock acts as a piece too. =)

[Bulbapuck]

It doesn't matter if the game is ugly, not to me at least. A lot of games turn out ugly, they are important too!

As always, great video :)

[ChessNetwork]

@Bulbapuck Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your continued comments. =)

[meauxx]

I actually really like these live blitz games. It allows us - the less good chessplayers - to know what pros like you are thinking DURING a game (instead of after).

Thank you for the video!

[ChessNetwork]

@meauxx Thanks. Glad to know you're finding it beneficial. =)

[flamboyant514]

Hey I like your videos but this game was indeed pretty ugly and i think it would be more interesting for the audience if you comment games with more time on the clock, those blitz games have really little educationnal value.

[ChessNetwork]

@flamboyant514 Thanks for the feedback. That's how it is though with Blitz games. It's variety and I can't posted games longer than 11 total minutes. Youtube doesn't allow such. =(

[numbcore]

still entertaining to watch :)

[ChessNetwork]

@numbcore Great! Glad you still found it enjoyable.

Thanks for continuing to comment/rate numbcore. =)

[ManosKoukoutos]

Nice game, but I think it's a shame that so many blitz games are lost on time instead of actually being played out

[ChessNetwork]

@ManosKoukoutos Yeah...But that's how it is. Playing with little time has the added strategy where you can maybe not make the best move objectively, but a second-rate one which will make your opponent have to use their time to think. I appreciate the comment Manos! =)

[ChessNetwork]

@J03lWD Thanks for continuing to comment/rate. =)

[DrouGluiN]

kayz.. nice

[ChessNetwork]

@DrouGluiN Thank you. =)

[UTCyborg]

Heh not much to say about this one except that you're very lucky and unlucky at the same time x).

[ChessNetwork]

@UTCyborg You're right! Thanks for continuing to comment. =)

[ChessNetwork]

@ChessLectures There are other humans higher there. Command "hbest" shows the top human players. Yeah, I can relate to the feeling associated with being accused of computer use as well, however not at FICS.

[Fr0ggeh86]

I found tour account a few days ago and you make amazing commentarys to your games! It's so good for learning, keep it up man! I hope to see lots of more videos like this :).

Also, I cringed at your position haha, I really felt like "oh noo! this looks terrible, gah!", but you did very well and I admire your cool, I really do! I also admire how you seem to focus a lot on the commentary part, even when in these kinds of situations!

[ChessNetwork]

@Fr0ggeh86 I appreciate the comment...kind words. I look forward to reading your comments to other videos. =)

[ChessNetwork]

@ChessLectures Being accused of what? What's your blitz rating?

[ChessNetwork]

@ChessLectures Why not h3? At the time it simply wasn't one that I was considering. Much better candidate to f3...that's for sure. d5..h3...nf3 all better than what i played imo. I appreciate the time you've taken to help me out. =) *handshake*

[nottybanks7]

y dont make a bullet live chess game next time

itll be coool

[ChessNetwork]

@nottybanks7 I think would be too difficult to comment during. It'd have to be just me playing and maybe pointing out particular squares as the game progresses.

Thanks for the suggestion. You're a loyal commenter! =)

[Robotman42]

5:11 maybe Bb5+

[ChessNetwork]

@Robotman42 I can always count on you to come up with good suggestions =).

Yes, Bb5+ and Ke2 and i'm better coordinated.

Thanks for your continued insight.

[Robotman42]

Probably because I wasn't nervous about a difficult position. Though, I never thought you were in that bad of a position - you had a pawn to compensate for the weaknesses.

[ChessNetwork]

@Robotman42 Yeah...but I think I would need like 2 pawns more for that position to be workable =)

[heraclitus44]

Your opponents name would be, almost assuredly, pronounced "Sky ler". It is Dutch. You did say that your from PA, yes?

[ChessNetwork]

@heraclitus44 Thanks for the quick grammar lesson. Yes. =)

[heraclitus44]

Ugly but I enjoyed nonetheless. Do you ever play longer games?

[ChessNetwork]

@heraclitus44 Well that's good to know. =)

Yes, I play 15 minute games on occasion.

[xBakaPeterx]

doubled up pawns look cool

[ChessNetwork]

@xBakaPeterx They might look cool, but they feel terrible. =)

[kevinhdo90]

Hehehe "Play to win" Hahahaha so true :) But do you really think you would have won if it wasn't for time? I'm just a bit curious xD

[ChessNetwork]

@kevinhdo90 Nope. I wouldn't have won. It'd be the one fighting to draw. In the time scramble KxP instead of Kb7 was better with the likely computer evaluation 0.00

[gerenferen1]

Actually, as terrible as it looks, your position only fluctuated from equal to slightly worse according to Rybka.

Seeing thru some of ur games, I see you like to develop ur minor pieces before pawns if possible. I think this impedes u from developing a slight adv. as white in this game. For instance, if you had just developed normally with plans to push e4 in ur 2nd or 3rd move, you would have secured a slight advantage as White.

[ChessNetwork]

@gerenferen1 Yeah...equal yeah, but I've be preferring black. I'm content with simple development usually. Especially in blitz games.

[gerenferen1]

Well, if you had played e4 in ur 3rd move, you could have played this sharp, interesting variation: 1. d4 Nc6 2. Nf3 d6 3. e4 Bg4 4. d5 Ne5 5. Nxe5 Bxd1 6. Bb5+ c6 7. dxc6 Qa5+ 8.

Nc3 a6 9. b4 (+0.87 in favor of White)

This could be used as a trap.

[ChessNetwork]

@gerenferen1 Yes, that is sharp. d5 I didn't consider.

Thanks for posting an alternative variation. *handshake*

I'm going to be looking to you for suggestions for ensuing videos now! =)

[KevinHarlan]

Instead of f3, what about b3 then Bb2 anticipating his d4 push. Thanks for another live game.

[ChessNetwork]

@KevinHarlan Yep..that was the other thought that I voiced. You're welcome. Thanks for the comment/rating. =)

[GrandElemental]

I've never seen this variation before, he did pretty well in the opening. And yeah, that pawn formation looked really ugly... =D

[ChessNetwork]

@GrandElemental Yeah...he messed me up good! Thanks for confirming the ugliness! =)

[stormc1nd3r]

Nice!!

Most live blitz players on Youtube focus on winning first, and educating second. It's nice to have someone do it the other way around.

[ChessNetwork]

@stormc1nd3r Thanks for such a nice compliment. =)

I appreciate the comments you continue to make. *handshake*

[ChairmanKiel]

Keep up the spectacular work. Love your games.

[ChessNetwork]

@ChairmanKiel Thanks. DO continue to comment/rate. It's appreciated. =)

[medra1980]

Bd5 after d5 is that not a possibility instead of attacking the bishop?

[ChessNetwork]

@medra1980 Be5?! you mean. Yes that's possible if that's what u meant.

[medra1980]

yes off course e5 not d5 sorry

[mraxeguy]

I love it when you play from losing positions . . . I lose all the time. xD Thanks for the upload, this round was enjoyable.

[ChessNetwork]

Yes..."You play to win the game." Luckily the clock is a piece too! =)

[barsorrro]

Wow! I absolutely admire your cool! I would have been totally devastated already after having to lose a piece in a fork so early on, and I would have been pretty much clueless after starting the mid-game a piece down and with two cases of doubled pawns. I really admire players with perseverence.

Well, actually, I'd like to add my pressure into getting you to consider a video in parts of a 10-min. game. We could learn some proper endgame :) But--anything will do! It's great you keep'em comin:)

[ChessNetwork]

@barsorrro Well...I wasn't a piece down. He gave up his knight for a pawn and then I had to give a piece back for a pawn. Thanks for the comments. =)

[barsorrro]

My bad! I should probably watch (at least) twice before I comment! :D I appreciate the correction! :))

[ChessNetwork]

@barsorrro No problem. It happens. =)

[superchess101]

Good game Jerry- probably not the best opening but it was interesting to see how useful your white bishop turned out & also how his dark bishop was useless in the middle game. Please keep uploading this type of videos they are very useful. 5 stars as usual

[ChessNetwork]

@superchess101 You're right. That setup is garbage! Play and learn! =)

I appreciate the comment/rating.

[880330145789]

OMG a new vid! nice nice

[ChessNetwork]

@880330145789 Thanks thanks. =)

[seppesai]

its amazing how you always end up winning dx

even in games with annoying openings like this one :D

congratulations, i really enjoy your videos ;)

[ChessNetwork]

@seppesai Not always...I'll be posting losses as well. Then you'll get to hear me grunt. =)

Thanks for continuing to comment/rate. It's appreciate sepp. =)

[Muki13]

That was freaken awesome, 5/5, keep the games coming! Wow, man seriously, that was pretty good match, if he didn't take so much time to move that brook, you would of probably drawn! By none the less you got lucky and won again! That was amazing game, because he pretty much had you beat from the first couple of moves, but you managed to come back!

[ChessNetwork]

@Muki13 Thanks for the continued comments/ratings. Yes...lady luck was on my side yet again.

[880330145789]

how do i download or register to play on the free internet chess server any links?

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Go to freechess org

[ChessNetwork]

@ShotDownInFlames2 Yes...what shotdown said. =)

[ChessNetwork]

@880330145789 Search: FICS chess..that's one of the many ways.

[880330145789]

@ChessNetwork i have already registered im going to start to play now ^^

[JVIikel]

Fantastic Stuff. I wanna catch you playing live one of these days!

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks...I'm sure you will soon enough. =)

[retardboydooshbagman]

If you ever find the time, you should make a video of a long game and talk through all of your thoughts. Thanks, great video.

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks for the suggestion but youtube doesn't permit me to upload a video longer than 11 minutes. I wouldn't want to do a Part 1 of 2 type either.

Thanks for the compliment/rating!

[Omeeeeed]

Hehe Jerry ;)

[ChessNetwork]

Yes..hehe as in...lady luck! =)

[nottybanks7]

ok then ill try thanks for ur advice =D

[ChessNetwork]

Sure thing! It'll be tough...you might not be able to play a whole game through, but at least shooting to make legal moves, let's say 15 moves in without getting crushed, is an accomplishment!

[Sheendude]

Great video, love the blitz games. It's amazing how deep you read in just 5 minutes! If you ever want to play I have a FICS account as well, so just send me a message! 5/5

[ChessNetwork]

I'm sure we'll get a game in eventually. =) Thanks for continuing to comment/rate. It's appreciated dude! =)

[websnarf]

Instead of f3 what was wrong with Nf3?

[ChessNetwork]

@websnarf Nothing...I guess my thoughts at the time didn't consider that move because my knight was already developed. I think that would have been better.

[St3lf]

Like i said in your last vid, i clicked your channel being hopeful (but not expecting) a new video. and there it was, i was just like 'yay' =D keep it up man you're definately one of my favorite channels for sure. your analysis is top notch

[ChessNetwork]

@St3lf Thanks for the compliment and continuing to comment and hopefully rate! =)

[nottybanks7]

huh whats blindfold ive heard of it

[ChessNetwork]

@nottybanks7 Play an online game where you don't view the board, but instead just the game's notation. You wouldn't move your pieces with the mouse, but instead you'd have to punch in via a command. Should improve your visualization skills/memory.

[nottybanks7]

@ChessNetwork holy crap thts so damn hard

notations omg i bet u can beat me playing using notations

[ChessNetwork]

I practice from time to time like that.

[nottybanks7]

i made so many blunders D= what should i do?!

[ChessNetwork]

@nottybanks7 Blindfold.

[teddster214]

a win is a win! =)

[ChessNetwork]

@teddster214 Luck is also luck! =)

[teddster214]

@ChessNetwork yes still...good game

5/5

[TheChessvids]

Phew! You got away with that one. I'd like to see a game between you and Kingscrusher. You could both give live commentary! That way we could see the thought process from both sides.

[ChessNetwork]

@TheChessvids Yes...no doubt about that. That would be very cool. Two angles of thought.

[BdizzleFaReal]

@ChessNetwork Yes, I agree, perhaps you should schedule a match of 5!

Anyway, interesting game, I absolutely love your commentary. And I would love to play you, even though you'd destroy me

[ChessNetwork]

@BdizzleFaReal Yeah...match of 5 would be good! =) Thanks for the comment and rating?! =)

[BdizzleFaReal]

@ChessNetwork On FICS I'm around 1400, and just a little bit today I happened to beat a 1600! Yay for me. I don't really study chess or do puzzles, but I think I'm going to start.

[ChessNetwork]

@BdizzleFaReal You beat a 1600? FaReal? =)

Congrats!

[IdkScapeFilms]

lol alot of observers

[ChessNetwork]

@IdkScapeFilms Yeah I know...too many got to view an ugly white position!

[IdkScapeFilms]

@ChessNetwork did oyu make a mistake or did he just force you to do it/

[ChessNetwork]

I make a mistake and he punished my position.

[jrdudedj]

Just curious, do you only upload the ones you win, or if you lose but it was a good game would you upload that too?

[ChessNetwork]

@jrdudedj No! I will be uploading those that I lose as well!

[nottybanks7]

yayyy new viid =D ! btw im doin too much blunders =( what should i do?

[ChessNetwork]

@nottybanks7 Hmmm. Play a game or two of blindfold chess per day. =)

[BloodlessSurfer]

You made great use of what you had in this game and ended up coming out on top. We should play again on FICS again.

[ChessNetwork]

@BloodlessSurfer Thanks. I'm sure we'll meet again. =)

[TauntingIntelligence]

Very entertaining. More plz.

[ChessNetwork]

@TauntingIntelligence Great! I appreciate the feedback. =)

[worldsavy]

wow what a strange strange game...

[ChessNetwork]

@worldsavy Ugly...strange...there are others I'm sure! =)

[badamhell]

good one :O

[ChessNetwork]

@badamhell Thanks!
