I am going to post some fun blitz matches once and awhile to mix things up.

This one was at 3:00AM after drinking a large coffee while leaving the chess club that is an hour away from my house.

Got to love being wired on coffee late at night!

  • You know , you said on some other blitz vid that you don't learn anything from this kind of games. I believe that doing alot of em it actually improves your thinking speed and you get to see better moves more quickly.

  • They help if you study them, but if you don't review them and learn they don't do much. The problem with quick thinking is sometimes that gets you into trouble when you reach a decision quickly and its a bad one. That being said, it's definitely fun to blitz it out!

  • Yeah it is fun to play blitz games :) Anyway i'm not too good at that since i just started to play chess like 1 week ago , and moslty learned from your vids , so thanks alot ! I'm trying to learn the openings and defences now , yet still i don't have any material to learn from besides your videos.

  • Make sure to check out my site - there's tons of resources there to help get you started. Also, tactics practice is very important and you will see the biggest gains in the beginning by doing chess puzzles along with researching your favorite openings and working on your endgame. Keep me posted on how things go!

  • At 4:50, you could move your pawn up to d4+ and get the f7 bishop..

  • you missed d4+ at 4:47 (that would win his bishop)

  • @jrobichess wasnt d5 like much better!???

  • Lol lucena position111

  • What's the program

  • 9:48 - b5? Win a pawn, don't you?

  • I agree coffee is great and so is staying up late!!!

  • White should have a draw at 7:10 if he just avoids moving his king in front of his pawn. When you have queen against enemy pawn on the 7th rank, the pawn needs to be on the knight file or the king or queen file. If it is on the bishop or rook file the weaker side can force a draw.

  • You're so friendly in your comments.

    I'm sure you're just a lovely person (:

  • 4:55 You should of pushed your d pawn with check and attacking the Bishop!

  • at 4:54 you should have pushed your d pawn up to check then take his bishop with yours
