WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:02.730 Hi there in this section. 00:02.770 --> 00:04.800 I want to show you a real world scoresheet. 00:04.830 --> 00:06.930 This is from my good friend, A.F. Lantis. 00:07.170 --> 00:09.720 It's pretty legible, much more legible than most of the mine. 00:10.380 --> 00:14.220 You should keep them as legible as possible so we can read this. 00:14.520 --> 00:21.120 And in fact, you can even sometimes you get Barracas, you can sometimes see more and more of a chess 00:21.120 --> 00:23.910 game in your head, your own virtual ball in your head. 00:24.240 --> 00:25.510 You don't even need to board. 00:26.070 --> 00:27.170 Bobby Fischer, it's fought. 00:27.180 --> 00:32.490 So, you know, he trained himself quite young to be able to do this in his head because he couldn't 00:32.490 --> 00:35.260 be that far apart from a chess. 00:35.400 --> 00:38.370 You know, he needs a chess in his brain. 00:38.370 --> 00:39.420 He was so addicted. 00:39.750 --> 00:43.500 And it's a great way of improving your visualization skills as well. 00:43.920 --> 00:50.640 So see 496 G4 three Jeoffrey and then we see C6. 00:51.030 --> 00:53.220 So the first two moves D4 namesakes. 00:53.220 --> 00:54.660 This is an algebraic notation. 00:54.660 --> 00:59.130 I put those on on the board has CIFOR might have sex. 00:59.580 --> 01:04.500 We can see that we record in algebraic notation and then we see the move. 01:04.500 --> 01:09.750 Jeoffrey, this means --'s jeoffrey so I'll put that on board as well. 01:09.960 --> 01:13.980 But now we're going to obscure the book because I want to talk about the scoresheet a little bit more 01:15.270 --> 01:18.440 so we can see, like I'll move nine. 01:18.450 --> 01:26.190 It's actually if we play that we see more evidence is if because of detailed details, a then it takes 01:26.190 --> 01:30.180 a four and the no transaction Nikifor. 01:30.190 --> 01:35.340 So something's happened around that to do of A4 being played. 01:37.020 --> 01:42.420 So even in your casual games, it's good to record the game and learn from your losses. 01:42.450 --> 01:47.460 The great Capablanca, one of the world champions, said you learn more from your losses than any of 01:47.460 --> 01:48.030 your wins. 01:48.030 --> 01:49.680 And it's true, especially for me. 01:49.680 --> 01:53.640 The more painful losses, the more I've invested time, energy. 01:54.390 --> 02:01.530 And if I lose, you know, I try and do searching for the truth of sometimes bigger lessons, bigger 02:01.530 --> 02:04.080 philosophies that helps you become a better player. 02:04.080 --> 02:05.850 And sometimes you learn a bit of opening theory. 02:05.850 --> 02:08.220 Sometimes you learn some Angang track. 02:08.850 --> 02:12.450 Sometimes you sharpen your tactics, you do you do the training needed. 02:12.840 --> 02:20.160 So taking a scientific approach to the game, the start point of that is actually recording your games 02:21.300 --> 02:22.230 now online. 02:22.230 --> 02:23.280 They're recorded for you. 02:23.280 --> 02:25.890 That's so, so convenient when you play online. 02:26.280 --> 02:31.620 That's one of the great convincing series of games and you can go over them even if maybe you do some 02:31.860 --> 02:32.890 want to take it more seriously. 02:32.890 --> 02:36.900 You eventually get a coach or you just take some amazing courses. 02:36.900 --> 02:38.010 You don't even need a coach. 02:40.200 --> 02:40.920 So anyway. 02:42.570 --> 02:44.610 So, yeah, in the real world, though, yeah. 02:44.610 --> 02:49.890 You'd have this thing called a scoresheet and each move is those two half moves all play. 02:50.790 --> 02:56.790 And according to the official Phedre rules, if you play the most serious Tómas, which are Phaedo approved 02:56.790 --> 03:03.930 Holman's where your feeder rating is at stake, not just your local federation rating, then you should 03:03.930 --> 03:10.350 be recording your moves as clearly as neatly as possible. 03:10.800 --> 03:15.960 And both score sheets are usually given after the game with the results. 03:15.960 --> 03:21.990 But both of them signs actually you'd sign your opponent scoresheet, they'd sign yours. 03:21.990 --> 03:27.570 And they're both given to the tournament controllers and they do the pairings for the next round based 03:27.570 --> 03:29.610 on the results, etc.. 03:30.180 --> 03:36.050 So the scoresheet plays a very important role, not just for the mechanics of pairing in the real world, 03:36.300 --> 03:37.620 but also for your own learning. 03:37.950 --> 03:39.420 And I recommend to you. 03:39.420 --> 03:41.340 Yeah, to take a scientific approach. 03:41.340 --> 03:47.460 If you do lose he Blanca's advice, you need to translate chess not just as a sporting event. 03:47.460 --> 03:48.120 Oh, I lost. 03:48.120 --> 03:49.230 I'm going to answer. 03:49.230 --> 03:49.860 I'm going. 03:50.490 --> 03:51.600 No, don't be like me. 03:51.600 --> 03:54.030 I actually gave up chess for a couple of years when I was small. 03:54.030 --> 03:56.700 When I played my first tournament, I was crying. 03:57.060 --> 03:58.500 I gave up for a couple of years. 03:58.500 --> 03:59.550 I took up programming. 04:00.090 --> 04:02.700 It was quite good because I like programming today anyway. 04:03.210 --> 04:05.880 So there's an upside to everything anyway in life. 04:06.600 --> 04:13.030 But in general, you know, I came back to chess and I later won a national under 18 in 1999. 04:13.350 --> 04:19.440 I was one of the greatest players on the East on the BSF, as it was called then British Chess Federation 04:19.440 --> 04:20.520 ranking system. 04:20.940 --> 04:22.560 I beat that free one nineties. 04:22.830 --> 04:26.610 I became Loyd's national unrattled champion in 1999. 04:26.910 --> 04:27.600 But anyway. 04:27.600 --> 04:32.400 But when I was much smaller, I played in this tournament and it was more about the sport, about the 04:32.400 --> 04:32.860 heartache. 04:33.070 --> 04:34.560 You don't want it to be like that. 04:34.680 --> 04:39.420 You want to turn again into a kind of scientific experiment. 04:41.170 --> 04:43.960 That you lose, OK, you're gutted. 04:44.080 --> 04:51.580 I accept that you got everyone, especially me, but if you got scoresheet and even in your casual games, 04:52.870 --> 04:57.400 first of all, you can train your visualisations and even try and read the scoresheet without even a 04:57.400 --> 04:58.000 chessboard. 04:58.120 --> 05:01.440 That helps your visualization, which will improve your test results. 05:02.410 --> 05:08.680 Some grandmasters, you know, were reading games just from from books which hardly had any diagrams, 05:08.680 --> 05:13.660 but they're sort of training a visualization like Tony mauls notes to just read chess books without 05:14.020 --> 05:14.800 any boards. 05:14.800 --> 05:17.830 You know, it makes it very convenient if you've got a board inside your head. 05:18.220 --> 05:20.980 Magnus Cosies can complete loads of games. 05:21.070 --> 05:23.860 This blindfold simultaneous, by the way, that's the side. 05:23.860 --> 05:24.910 That's when you get really strong. 05:25.100 --> 05:29.100 But in general, you record your games and try and be scientific when you lose. 05:30.190 --> 05:33.280 So it's not just for the bureaucrats, the score sheets. 05:34.960 --> 05:36.590 So we're talking about the rules section. 05:36.610 --> 05:37.860 It's all about the bureaucrats. 05:37.870 --> 05:40.240 No, it's also for your own interest. 05:40.240 --> 05:41.740 For your own improvement in chess. 05:43.030 --> 05:48.640 The score sheets a great vehicle for going home, seeing where you went wrong, maybe putting it in 05:48.640 --> 05:49.050 a computer. 05:49.050 --> 05:51.610 A computer tells you at least your technical mistakes. 05:52.630 --> 05:54.160 Maybe you get some coaching later. 05:54.160 --> 05:57.880 You look at my amazing courses and you find out fundamentals that I'm going to tell you. 05:58.240 --> 05:59.050 We're not computers. 05:59.050 --> 06:01.660 We want to make the positions as easy as possible for us to play. 06:02.230 --> 06:06.370 So, in fact, your mistake wasn't actually not playing this super accurate move. 06:06.550 --> 06:11.140 Your mistake was having that position in the first place where you had to play a super accurate move. 06:11.320 --> 06:13.780 You should have positions which are easy to play, ideally. 06:14.410 --> 06:15.610 See Art of War. 06:15.850 --> 06:17.590 I reference Art Werlau. 06:17.980 --> 06:21.800 You want to make winning as easy as possible or not some sort of thing where you need to. 06:22.060 --> 06:22.810 Perfect move. 06:22.810 --> 06:23.500 Perfect move. 06:23.500 --> 06:33.670 But no, but anyway, so the main core of this particular lecture was about the legality and a real 06:33.670 --> 06:40.600 well, Toubon, you'll be recording in a scoresheet in a thing called algebraic notation. 06:41.170 --> 06:44.890 That's the standard for chess algebraic notation. 06:45.340 --> 06:47.230 And we'll be going over that. 06:48.650 --> 06:51.750 In the coming elections, OK? 06:53.790 --> 06:59.490 I remember being legible as possible when you write in school, she just do a favorite organizations 06:59.490 --> 07:04.090 yourself if you want to read what happens, like, you know, later. 07:04.160 --> 07:05.580 OK, and so much.
