ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: This is 0 Elo Chess

Ladies and gentlemen, did you know that there are more possible chess games than there are atoms in the entire observable universe?

There are 10 to the 80th power atoms in the total observable universe,

and apparently there are 10 to the 120th power number of chess games.

I wouldn't know because I haven't counted.

Now this is both good and bad news.

It's good news because we can create

so many incredible games from start to finish and it's bad news because you can create so many horrible games.

I have an inbox on this channel where you all send me games that you play against humans, bots, your friends, enemies, cheaters and so on.

And today I'll be showing you yet another game from this inbox, from the viewer submission list that made me question everything about my life.

On that note, here we go.

Maybe I'll send both of these players my next book, and maybe the first one, and maybe my book called Chess for Babies because they need it.

This was a rampant game played between two 300 level players.

Now, 300s are obviously just beginners, and the disclaimer is that we are not laughing at these people.

We are laughing with these people at them.

So, white opened the game with E4, and black played the move D5.

We have an interesting matchup, Japan and Mexico.

I'm not sure we've had Japan versus Mexico from the viewer game playlist on this channel.

It's also a potential World Cup matchup, right?

So, a Scandinavian defense from black, who it's a dangerous opening to play as a 400.

because you have to bring your queen out.

And the rule of thumb is, if you bring your queen out early in the Scandinavian and move it to the outskirts of the board, you better not lose it, right?

You better not lose the queen.

White plays knight c3.

The nice thing about the Scandinavian defense is that this position is expected in about 90% of the games that you play.

So it's a very predictable opening.

People will develop a knight and attack your queen, and then you're gonna move the queen over here.

And now white will generally develop the knight, the bishop, and then castle.

So with black, you also have a very easy plan of action.

And that is exactly what white does.

White spends six seconds, plays knight of three.

For the record, for the record, like this game, make no mistake, is going to be awful in its own way.

But then it is going to be actually, not then, it's also going to be pretty decent at the same time.

Four hundreds nowadays are much better than they were ever before.

And 400s are only getting better than what they were in the past.

So if you're watching this as a 2-3-400 and you can't get out of your rating range, it's normal.

A lot of people are entering the world of chess every day.

Like, look, we have a bishop being developed pinning a knight to a queen.

Five years ago, a 400 would have swallowed a bishop by now.

White plays bishop e2.

So white has developed a knight and a bishop.

Black should now develop a knight or put something in the middle.

I would not take this.

Like, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Black develops a knight, like very good opening principle play.

White plays pawn to h3, attacking the bishop.

And again, here you would think a lot of people would just chop down the knight because they're beginners and like, you know, then develop some pieces, you know, some other pieces.

And in the Scandinavian, you could give up your light squared bishop, and then you should put other pawns on light squares.

Because when you leave only one light squared bishop on the board, it's kind of like having the elder wand.

That might not mean anything to you.

Do kids nowadays even watch Harry Potter?

That series in those books were like my whole childhood.

Bishop f5 back.

Okay, fine.

You wasted a little time, but it's not the end of the world.

Normally, these games get really idiotic already, but this one actually develops quite nicely.

White plays castles.

Black plays knight c6.

Excellent.

Now we begin the comedy.

White plays d3.

Now, d3 is a reasonable move you just want to get your dark squared bishop into the game.

That's following very good principles.

Black can castle long, but black here plays a pawn in the middle.

I mean, very good.

Very good.

By the way, there's a positive conclusion to this game.

And white now decides not to develop the bishop.

White decides, well, I move d3, but I really want to move d4.

Now, this is chess at a much higher level than 394.

If you look at the move d4 and you go d4, pawn takes, knight takes, knight takes, queen takes, my queen is really strong.

You're probably correct.

This sequence of moves is actually very reasonable for white.

The queen stops the king from castling.

The queen is close to attacking.

Obviously, don't hang your queen.

The bishop is going to come out.

The rooks are going to come out.

But if they don't do that, then you might be in trouble.

And in this game, black actually castled long, which is a great move.

Long castle, and now the rook hits the pawn, and there's a queen on the other side.

And we don't have to go very long in the game of a 390-rated player for a queen to be blundered.

White has given away one pawn.

It was taken on the second move in an exchange.

And the second piece that white ends up giving away is the queen.

White spent six seconds on the move pawn takes pawn.

The only idea in the whole position was to long castle and put a rook opposite the queen.

And the queen has been taken. And white takes back.

Rook takes d1.

now at this point i would like to activate the rule

of keep it simple stupid black can take knight takes pawn

because it's protected that is what you should do

and you should not think about it

that pawn is attacking your knight just take the just take the pawn because

if you can engage in a trade white is going to

lose a lot of pieces white's going to lose a knight

then they're going to lose a bishop they're not going to be able to create any sort of counterplay

and that is what you should do.

This next move I don't like.

Black spent 33 seconds, and let me tell you, if a 375 rated player spends 33 seconds, nothing good is going to happen.

100

You're going to overthink it.

101

Black plays bishop takes c2.

102

That's just not a good move.

103

It's not a good move because white, first of all, if you do the math, will get a knight and a bishop for a rook.

104

Just generally the bishop and the knight are going to be better than the rook.

105

But furthermore, white could just go here.

106

Now you still have a hanging knight, and now you have a hanging bishop.

107

So if black were to take this, you would just lose the bishop, a full bishop.

108

And the more pieces white wins, the better the comeback is going to get.

109

So please, if you're 370, just don't think for 34 seconds.

110

Just do us all a favor and stop.

111

Okay?

112

In the game, obviously, white did not do that.

113

In fact, white played a move here that's so impressive.

114

It's...

115

I couldn't even begin to explain it to you.

116

Like, you could take the knight or you could move the rook, right?

117

Those are the two choices, obviously.

118

White goes bishop g5.

119

Why?

120

I don't know.

121

Black takes the rook.

122

So, black has now won a queen and a rook.

123

I mean, that's pretty freaking good.

124

White plays pawn takes f6 now.

125

So white plays pawn takes f6, which means this bishop can just take another piece.

126

The bishop can eliminate a rook and a bishop.

127

Just keep eliminating pieces.

128

His bishop is just there.

129

You don't have to take anything here.

130

Of course, black does not play that.

131

Black responds with pawn takes pawn.

132

Because when you're 300, you have to understand, when something takes you, if you can take it back, you must.

133

I mean, that's the rule of the universe.

134

It's like checkers.

135

Like, I understand this pawn took this, and if it takes this, there's this.

136

Totally.

137

Like, you can take a piece worth much more than a pawn, but you have to take the pawn.

138

Now, white can take the pawn, of course, and the rook is hanging, and the bishop is hanging, right?

139

Like, the bishop is here, the rook is here.

140

Credit to black, because black actually takes the bishop now.

141

So now black plays a great move.

142

White can take a rook.

143

I'm not sure either player saw this.

144

Instead, white takes this.

145

and if you count the material, it is a queen for a knight.

146

That is the balance of material.

147

Black has a six-point material advantage, who now moves the rook out of the way, and you really just wonder,

148

like, how can I make a video out of this?

149

Like, this doesn't make any sense.

150

Okay.

151

Well, let's proceed.

152

White plays rook d1.

153

Good move.

154

Honestly, if this knight wasn't even there, this would be a checkmate threat.

155

Here's the thought process with black.

156

You see this, you go, is that, no. Okay, so what about bishop to e7 or bishop g7?

157

Let's just trade the bishop.

158

If you want to take some pawns, you can also do that.

159

Bishop e7, I love this move.

160

Bishop e7, excellent move.

161

And now white retreats the bishop, which is a good move, and attacks the queen.

162

Unfortunately, the queen is just going to take the pawn on a2.

163

Now, if I gave you 20 guesses in this position for Black's next move, you wouldn't be able to guess it.

164

Wouldn't be able to guess it.

165

And there's like 40 legal moves probably.

166

Once again, the player playing with the Black pieces thought, which was a mistake, for 26 and a half seconds

167

and played the move f6 um i can't even explain like i don't know what

168

that does i don't know i don't know what

169

that does like for once i'm completely defeated like did black want to go here?

170

Was black like, I'm defending the square?

171

I don't know.

172

Did black not want the bishop seeing?

173

I don't know.

174

There are two ways you can avoid a move like f6 in the future.

175

And if you're wondering, yes, white took the queen in three seconds.

176

So, first of all, you avoid a move like this in the future.

177

When the move bishop c3 appears, you do a scan.

178

Does the bishop see anything?

179

Well, the good thing about a bishop is that it only looks on diagonals, right?

180

And you have two diagonal attackers, which are staring just about as close as possible to each other.

181

And then you would move your queen or you would block the attack.

182

The second way that you avoid a move like f6 is more philosophical.

183

And that is, hey, I'm a queen.

184

I have a queen and they don't.

185

So I should probably do something with that.

186

I shouldn't just forget about my queen.

187

Like, You can play queen a6 just attacking the knight.

188

You could take the pawn.

189

You could go here.

190

You could go here.

191

There.

192

You know, hey, what if I made a battery with my queen and my rook, and I went for checkmate?

193

Like, you just have to...

194

Anyway, the queen is lost.

195

So it's game on again.

196

The position's equal.

197

Black plays knight takes a5, and we have an equal endgame.

198

Of course, at this level, this is anything but equal.

199

How do you play an endgame if you are rated 300?

200

Well, you lose a pawn immediately.

201

You just...

202

You can't have the position be equal.

203

you have to just blunder upon.

204

And this is part of the thought, you know, the move process.

205

I want to push and attack the knight.

206

Can they take me?

207

The one mover concept, like the one mover, which is like they can just take you in one move.

208

There is no calculation.

209

Has to be something you get to develop before you get to 1,000.

210

Black plays knight c4.

211

Black sees that the knight is hanging, does not process they can take it.

212

You know, now I expect another move to attack the knight, like Rook to d4 or Rook c1.

213

White just plays Knight f4 here.

214

This is not a bad move.

215

Black responds with a one mover.

216

Knight to b2.

217

I love chess at 300 level, man.

218

Like, chess at 300 is literally, maybe they won't see it.

219

That's it.

220

That is the extent of the thought process that you have developed.

221

It's, oh crap, I didn't see that move.

222

And hey, maybe they won't see that move.

223

It's amazing.

224

You guys are like playing water polo, but you can't swim.

225

This is just a 300.

226

The knight attacks the rook.

227

The rook goes to d4.

228

Okay, fantastic.

229

Now black is like, I don't know what to do here.

230

Let's just trade the rooks.

231

That's a fair trade.

232

White is like, I don't know what to do here.

233

Let's just take the rook.

234

I don't know.

235

All right, now there's no rooks on the board.

236

Now you have five pawns each, two knights, and knight and bishop.

237

So allow me to explain.

238

Every endgame is either relatively balanced or relatively imbalanced.

239

This is a very imbalanced endgame.

240

The imbalances lie in the positioning of the kings, which are on opposite sides, which is not about safety, but about stopping the enemy pawns from walking up the board.

241

So kings are on opposite sides.

242

Knight and bishop versus two knights, very different.

243

The knights are close quarters fighters.

244

The pawn majorities, you have a three on two and three on two.

245

So it's really going to become a race.

246

It's equal, but it's balanced in an imbalanced fashion.

247

You both create threats.

248

Okay, knight to e6.

249

Of course, we're going to try to trade the bishop.

250

Black just pushes a pawn.

251

Fine.

252

White is, I mean, not even going to hesitate, is obviously just going to take something.

253

But at some point, you're going to run out of natural capturing moves, right?

254

Or are you?

255

Maybe you can just go knight to d4 or g4.

256

Okay.

257

Black now should enable the movement of these pawns by chasing down pawns with the knight.

258

That is what black should do.

259

Knight d3 is an excellent move.

260

White should play pawn to a3.

261

White plays pawn to g5.

262

That simply loses a pawn.

263

Because, well, honestly, I guess it kind of doesn't.

264

Because I was going to say if knight takes, well, if knight takes, pawn takes pawn, knight takes pawn.

265

If pawn takes, knight takes, this pawn is hanging.

266

So I kind of understand.

267

All right.

268

Of course, black with four minutes and 57 seconds is like, pawn me take.

269

Yeah, that's just not, I mean, the knight comes in and now your pawn is hanging.

270

Of course, with black, you take this pawn.

271

and white takes, of course, h7 and you take a2.

272

And suddenly there has been an apocalypse on both sides of the board

273

and it's just a two on three and it's simply a race.

274

Now, you know who wins a race generally?

275

The person that has a head start.

276

And black right now has a head start.

277

They are four squares away from queening.

278

If you count one, two, three, four, this is the square, right?

279

So the white king needs to run to the left to stop the pawn and get in the square.

280

If you don't do that, the square immediately gets smaller and your king can't do hopscotch two at a time.

281

The knight can come back and try to help, but that means that these pawns can't move.

282

And when you have three pawns together, they're very difficult to stop.

283

Also, if you have pawns on opposite sides of the board, they're sometimes difficult to stop.

284

Anyway, now we're going to have a pawn race.

285

H4.

286

A5.

287

So instead of moving the pawn that has already moved, and you are guaranteed to promote here.

288

Guaranteed.

289

B4, it's guaranteed.

290

This knight cannot get back effectively in time.

291

Look, knight F6, B3.

292

Knight E4, B2.

293

Knight D2, it's not effective because knight C3.

294

So I'm going to at least force you to give away the knight.

295

And if H5, you can't just race me here.

296

You can't just race me here.

297

Here's a very nice way that you could lose the game.

298

So the black king does have to walk over The white king can no longer walk over

299

because he's completely boxed out by the black knight Okay, h4 a5 two three hundreds play an endgame.

300

Here we go h4 a5 h5 b4 h6 b3 and I think the players have realized It's over.

301

I Think the players have now realized

302

that this is the end of the game knight f8 you try your best b2 h7

303

b1 is a queen with check check, king g2, and queen b2.

304

And if white wanted to try something here, they could try to come back to g6 and then queen,

305

but still, black would give away the queen and then promote this pawn, probably.

306

Instead of that, white went h8 queen, which doesn't work because it gets taken.

307

Knight e6 check, King d7.

308

Knight g5.

309

And black started pushing pawn to a4.

310

And the game is finished.

311

Here also with black, you can try to pin the knight, etc. a4, f4, a3, knight f7.

312

You don't blunder the queen here.

313

Excellent move.

314

You keep trying with white.

315

You don't resign.

316

Okay, well, you lost the knight and you lost the pawn.

317

And now you try to win with the king, which is obviously impossible.

318

Black now can...

319

Look, you know what? the easiest way to win this is to promote a second queen, move the knight out of the way, promote the second queen, and deliver ladder mate.

320

Two queens.

321

Easy.

322

What you don't want to do is just start pushing the other pawn.

323

Okay, fine.

324

King g3.

325

And now, queen g5, or here, your queens slide perfectly along a rank together.

326

They guard each other.

327

It's mate and two.

328

Black decides that two queens is not enough.

329

Fine, I completely understand.

330

You need a third queen.

331

Now the game is over.

332

King g4, queen g1 check.

333

King to h5.

334

And you have no less than 1 2 3 4 5,

335

6 7 mates in 1.

336

But you know what they say?

337

When you have mate in 1,

338

you should spend .9 seconds and end the game with a stalemate up 30 points of material.
