Shadowing Practice: SPEED vs JYNXZI CHESS BATTLE - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Ladies and gentlemen, in today's video, I will be covering a chess match played between two of the most recognizable streamers in the world.
2
The first is Aisho Speed.
3
If you don't know who Aisho Speed is, he's done international world tours.
4
He's been to dozens of countries, has made an unbelievable amount of viral content, just traveled the entire World Cup and made videos from there.
5
and his opponent is none other than Jinxie, the bright protégé of the Gotham chess community.
6
In March, April, and May of this year, we trained together.
7
He won a tournament.
8
Since then, he's gone on to other games like League of Legends.
9
He plays a ton of Rainbow Six games that I would love to learn one day, but are a little bit difficult for me.
10
And they played a chess match when they did Who is the Best Gamer.
11
They each selected some games they want to play and one of the games was chess.
12
Also, I joined an esports org.
13
That's another big announcement.
14
I'm with Basilisk now, Science's esports team, joining some amazing names there if you know anything about the world of esports.
15
And if you don't, check out Basilisk.
16
They made me real handsome in this nice collared shirt.
17
More details to come.
18
There's articles out on chess.com today.
19
You know, you guys can go check those out.
20
Super excited.
21
I will be the head of chess.
22
I will be responsible for content initiatives and all sorts of other things.
23
So cannot wait.
24
And as the head of chess for Basilisk, I would like to show you this game.
25
So, the game kicks off with Pawn 2A4.
26
Which I am, I'm not a big fan of Pawn 2A4 here as a first move.
27
Let me also turn on the sounds of the board.
28
Also, move highlights, for some reason, are not on. And I sneezed.
29
A lot of things are going wrong so far.
30
A4, not...
31
Okay.
32
When we start the beginning of a chess game, we need to go in the middle.
33
Having said that, Speed doesn't play chess, really.
34
I think he's only played a handful of games in his life.
35
He once played against Manny Pacquiao.
36
I have a video on this channel, Speed Pacquiao, where Pacquiao pulled off something incredible.
37
He made Speed choose a pawn, and then he checkmated him with it, which is kind of unbelievable.
38
Now, Jinxie, very principled, an opening that he learned, both from his cousin and from me in content, the Carl Khan defense.
39
I mean, this is excellent.
40
Putting a pawn in the center.
41
The truth is, there is no Karo Khan against a4.
42
You try to put two pawns in the center if you can.
43
If you dominate the entire center of the board, it allows you to develop your knights and your bishops.
44
And I would love to see Speed playing a little bit more chess.
45
So I gotta train him on good fundamentals and good principles.
46
Speed here plays pawn to d4.
47
Now we're kind of back in a normal queen's pawn game where the knight has come out to c3.
48
a4 is still a little bit of an enigmatic move, a little bit mysterious, but it is what it is.
49
And now black should probably develop the knight or the bishop.
50
And the reason why you want to develop the bishop is
51
because you would like to play e6 and finish the triangle of pawns.
52
But if you play e6 now, you block your light squared bishop.
53
Jinxie goes here.
54
And unfortunately here, tragedy strikes.
55
In this position, speed goes e3.
56
Yeah, not great.
57
It hangs a queen. And Jinxie takes it.
58
and speed here he gets very gets very annoyed
59
because his his live chat his audience was telling him moves
60
they were just writing moves like a5 knight f3 bishop f4 b4 e3
61
and he saw e3 now you might be thinking isn't
62
that not a good thing shouldn't you not read your chat when playing yes.
63
The short answer is yes, because your chat could give you the best moves.
64
That's why chess tournaments for money on chess.com, you have no chat.
65
You can't, right?
66
This is clearly not that.
67
And it's clear here that even listening to the chat is very dangerous because they could sabotage you.
68
And that is exactly what happens.
69
Now, let me be very clear.
70
This position is still completely winnable with white.
71
It just depends on who's playing it and what the level difference is.
72
Any two players here in the world above 2,000, black will win 49 out of 50 times.
73
One game, you might make a draw or lose.
74
And obviously, the time constraint.
75
If you're playing a one-minute game, this is still very losable for black.
76
Totally losable.
77
And Jinx, he goes e6.
78
Super principled he's going to get his knight out, his bishop, his other knight.
79
When you're up a queen for a bishop, you want to make trades.
80
Trade pawns, trade knights, trade bishops.
81
Speed goes f3.
82
Nice little spiky pawn move.
83
If the knight comes in, it's not going to be able to access the position.
84
And here are the next few moves that I would like to see are developing the bishop, developing the knight, castling.
85
That's exactly what Jinxie does.
86
Now, I know what you're thinking if you're still here.
87
If you're an audience member that is a little bit older, you're wondering why I made this into content at all.
88
I am asking myself the same question.
89
I'll be very honest.
90
Some of you are going to complain about this video.
91
You will.
92
You're going to be like, make the slow run, make something else.
93
I want to see content where I can learn something.
94
I get it.
95
But the beginners are watching this.
96
Now, speed here goes here.
97
That's not a good move.
98
That loses the bishop to the pawn, to the pawn.
99
A better move would have been to develop the bishop safely.
100
But if anybody's watching this rate at 119 or lower or a little bit higher, keep your pieces safe from the enemy.
101
That is one thing you really got to do.
102
So the bishop goes out to b5.
103
Jinxie takes it.
104
And it shows you the difference.
105
Like Jinxie peaked at 500 in chess, which is a shame because I guarantee, like if he and I worked together more,
106
he could get to a thousand and that would be a major milestone
107
but chess is not as fun to play as some other video games.
108
That's just the reality.
109
It can be a bit brutal.
110
And, you know, it shows you the level difference.
111
Like, he immediately scoops it up, and now speed pushes this pawn forward.
112
These pawns now clamp the center, but every time you move a pawn in chess, something gets stronger and something gets weaker.
113
A pawn moving controls new squares, and then, look at this, different color arrows for you to visualize, right?
114
Blue, you used to guard those squares, and here, rather than castling, he goes here.
115
And I think at this point, Jinx, he actually was feeling a little bit bad.
116
He was like, hey, you should stop this.
117
You should move your king because I'm going to jump in here with my knight.
118
He was coaching a little bit here.
119
Speed was doing his best.
120
He ended up going knight back to A2.
121
That doesn't stop the threat.
122
This is obviously somebody who has not played chess.
123
And chess can make you look very, you know, it can make you look worse than you actually are.
124
It's very much a game of skill.
125
There's no luck.
126
Like in poker, I can go right now to Las Vegas
127
heads up against one of the best players in the world and luckily win the pot.
128
And I know the poker people that watch this are going to be like, that's not true.
129
The better player always wins in the end.
130
In chess, it's purely skill-based.
131
There is a phenomenon in the world of chess that
132
if you were locked in a room and had to defeat Magnus Carlsen, you're never leaving.
133
You have to beat him to get out of the room.
134
You're literally never leaving.
135
You can live multiple lifetimes.
136
You're never going to win.
137
Maybe one of those lifetimes, you're born as a better chess player than you are now, which probably won't be, you know, even that difficult.
138
Jinxie castles.
139
I think he was feeling a little bit bad.
140
Knight 2f3 here.
141
Again, knight 2f2 is the best move.
142
He goes g6.
143
I don't know.
144
I mean, again, I want to bring out the knight.
145
I want to bring out the queen.
146
When both sides have seven pawns in this position, both sides have seven pawns.
147
Actually, I think white has eight.
148
White has eight pawns.
149
You need to make pawn breaks.
150
Pawn breaks open up the position.
151
h4 here played.
152
And now I like this queen b6, activating the queen.
153
He's going to take this pawn and try to get his queen in over here.
154
He always has knight of two.
155
He's not playing it.
156
He finally does play it, and it actually does fork the rook anyway, but now the rook is protected.
157
Now, the way you win this position, you clean this up with the black pieces.
158
You take this pawn on b5.
159
You get in here with the queen.
160
You just absolutely obliterate everything in the position, or you bring the knight and the bishop as well.
161
You put this rook on the open file.
162
You can send this to an endgame where you simply trade the bishop, and then you trade the knight, and then you trade the rook, and then obviously you win, or you can win this game by checkmate.
163
Now, this is a very brave move from speed, but it's unfortunately not going to work.
164
He runs the king into the position.
165
King c3 does not work.
166
The best move now is queen e2, which is a very nice move.
167
Queen e2 doesn't just attack the knight.
168
It's not attacking the pawn.
169
It is attacking the knight.
170
What it does is it prevents the king from ever going back.
171
That's the most important thing.
172
Now that the king is out here, the king is going to be subjected to the knight, the bishop, the rook on c8, and this is just game over.
173
Jinx, he plays a little bit more impulsively, plays queen a5 check, which is fine.
174
The king goes to d3, and now he plays a very professional move.
175
Top move of the computer, brings the rook to the open file.
176
This is an amazing move, good for understanding how to convert a winning position.
177
Speed continues to run the king around, king e2, he stops protecting the pawn on c2 with that move.
178
Jinx, he spots it instantly, and I think at this point he was like, all right, I'm gonna just win this game.
179
But Jinxie, even months ago, had a blind spot for king captures.
180
He forgets that kings can actually participate offensively.
181
He could take this.
182
Maybe he let it go.
183
You guys would know.
184
You probably watched the game live.
185
Knight to d7 was the move.
186
He forgets that the rook, I mean, it's a full rook.
187
You lose the rook, and speed actually takes it.
188
Unfortunately, speed doesn't have a lot of time remaining.
189
He can't really mount a comeback, and Jinx, he replaces the rook, and knight c3 is a very creative idea.
190
It actually attacks the queen, and if you don't pay attention with black, you're going to straight up lose the queen.
191
Unfortunately, now you've lost this piece, and a queen and a rook together are just going to dominate a knight and a bishop every single time.
192
Speed's trying his best.
193
He goes pawn up to b3, but that opens up the vision of the queen.
194
It's actually even better to play rook takes c3.
195
I'm having a funny bug in this position.
196
I would like to show it to you if it's possible.
197
The mate evaluation is showing up for white.
198
Do you see that?
199
I'm extending the screen.
200
It says M5, but it's for white.
201
Whereas if we go back a move, the evaluation is in black's favor.
202
Absolutely hilarious.
203
Chaz.com?
204
I mean, I don't know if you think that, maybe it's because I'm on dark mode.
205
I don't know.
206
B3, queen C3, queen takes C1, and with one second remaining on the clock, this is the only move at which point Rook to C2 would be made.
207
A dominant victory for the protege.
208
Where's he from?
209
Something like Tarpon Springs?
210
Is that the meme of that community?
211
Listen, this game was like a sparring session between somebody who just entered a martial arts gym
212
and somebody with half a decade of experience.
213
Jinxie looked good in this game.
214
I'm a firm believer this man can eclipse 500, but he stopped playing as much chess as he did earlier in the year, and that's all good.
215
Those were the glory days.
216
If one day he wants to return and make a run to four digits, I firmly believe that we can do it together.
217
And last but not least, if Speed wants to play more chess, which I have to tell you, he did not seem particularly excited to play chess.
218
This is a guy who is in extremely good physical shape, does a ton of backflips, crazy challenges, travels the world.
219
chess might not really be might not really be a speed no pun intended full pun intended
220
anyway
221
if this video ends up getting watched by community members from
222
Jinx here from speed welcome to the world of chess it's
223
great here watch as much content as you like you're gonna get better for sure you're gonna play games
224
that look ridiculous like that at the beginning
225
but then you're gonna improve very rapidly and stop making as many mistakes like Jinxie did by the way
226
became a very very very decent player in just like a month two months of practice
227
that's all I have for you today we will get back to regularly scheduled programming whether it's top players engine games,
228
Gezdilo, whatever tomorrow shout out to Basilisk, go check them out on their social media,
229
can't wait to do more collaborations with the folks on their roster including top 10 players Anish Giri
230
and Vincent Keimer so I'm not going to help them win the esports world cup
231
but I will help them make a tremendous amount of content and hopefully start some new initiatives that's all
232
Get out of here.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
