WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.680 Hi there. 00:02.340 --> 00:09.420 In this, we're going to talk about feedback mechanisms now in chess, the wrong rating systems, and 00:09.420 --> 00:11.760 you can have ratings for particular time limits as well. 00:11.790 --> 00:12.600 Time controls. 00:12.600 --> 00:16.740 You can have a bullet rating obliterating a rapid rate. 00:16.740 --> 00:19.650 And, you know, there are ratings for different time controls. 00:20.340 --> 00:28.260 And really, you should be aiming to play on the longer time controls and not really worrying at all 00:28.260 --> 00:33.930 about your rights and start off with the value of the rating is to try and find someone that's just 00:33.930 --> 00:34.950 slightly stronger than you. 00:34.950 --> 00:40.560 Each time in your initial stages of chess, your initial weeks and months, you really should be focusing 00:40.890 --> 00:43.140 on improving the rating systems only. 00:43.140 --> 00:50.940 That's how you ideally to find suitable opponents around your rating level as you improve slightly on 00:50.940 --> 00:56.630 that time, control level up a little bit, find someone even stronger. 00:57.570 --> 01:04.020 So the core emphasis in your initial steps in chess, your initial days, weeks and months should be 01:04.020 --> 01:06.540 on the fundamentals of that foundation. 01:07.410 --> 01:12.570 That logic would divide that chess has is a good starting point, opening little game end game. 01:13.290 --> 01:20.520 And within those, your inner circles should be the core principles and philosophies. 01:20.520 --> 01:26.790 You need to get them as strong as possible before you go into the more detailed outer layer. 01:26.790 --> 01:27.710 Outer Circle. 01:28.410 --> 01:34.140 You don't want to spend time, for example, memorizing technical opening variations without having 01:34.140 --> 01:42.660 truly mastered opening principles and seeing the basic entraps basically the initial levels as set out 01:42.660 --> 01:43.620 in this course. 01:44.070 --> 01:50.280 When I say introduction beginner before going on to the intermediate, make sure you definitely know 01:50.610 --> 01:56.140 your introduction and beginner levels totally before going on set. 01:56.190 --> 02:02.550 An Outer Circle concentric circles method has been used in teaching for years and years and years. 02:03.090 --> 02:09.890 You definitely want to get your core principles and philosophies in place, so make sure you do master 02:09.900 --> 02:17.520 in this course, for example, the introduction and the beginner levels before taking even the outer 02:17.520 --> 02:23.400 levels that seriously of intermediate or advanced. 02:24.810 --> 02:26.690 So fundamentals first. 02:26.700 --> 02:27.660 First things first. 02:27.660 --> 02:28.680 Get the fundamentals. 02:29.430 --> 02:36.000 That's your essential navigation system as well for how you navigate the more detailed material fundamentals, 02:36.210 --> 02:38.490 correct in all phases of the game. 02:38.790 --> 02:40.380 Opening the game and game. 02:42.470 --> 02:50.540 As a high priority, later on, you can be concerned about results and take it, you know, but take 02:50.540 --> 02:52.610 it always actually with a pinch of salt. 02:53.900 --> 02:59.120 For me, you know, I actually prefer just winning Stallman's of tomato. 02:59.360 --> 03:03.800 I don't care if I lose rating points in the process on some sites. 03:04.160 --> 03:08.960 There's even the thing when you give time odds and you get extra points to try and win. 03:09.260 --> 03:12.860 I don't care for my rating, especially online. 03:13.490 --> 03:21.440 And in fact, if you're in the UK, for example, you know, there's a local rating system and even 03:21.440 --> 03:23.780 even local rating system, even your over the board. 03:23.780 --> 03:28.720 If you take that more seriously, that's fine to take that more seriously than your online ratings. 03:28.730 --> 03:32.590 But ultimately, there's also a feeder rating system, which is an international rating system. 03:32.900 --> 03:38.540 So if you really want to take it up again, eventually there are even more serious ratings. 03:38.840 --> 03:43.790 But whatever, you know, ratings you have rule kind of learning about chess. 03:44.150 --> 03:45.020 And you know what? 03:46.220 --> 03:49.730 Computers can beat the world champion like convincingly. 03:50.030 --> 03:56.000 Computers would be like 3800, not 2700 if they were playing. 03:57.510 --> 04:02.970 Use your mobile phone, can probably beat the world champion quite a lot, you know, he doesn't like 04:02.970 --> 04:09.240 playing because we're all basically kind of tourists in the game of chess so we can give ourselves this 04:09.240 --> 04:10.050 rating system. 04:10.290 --> 04:12.420 It makes ourselves feel good. 04:12.420 --> 04:16.890 But actually, if you look at your games, there's going to be horrendous mistakes for the next few 04:16.890 --> 04:17.720 weeks, months and years. 04:17.730 --> 04:19.710 That's going to be horrendous mistakes. 04:20.220 --> 04:26.970 And really, your ratings should just be a side effect of you mastering in a concentric circle manner, 04:27.360 --> 04:31.860 the inner circle, the principles and philosophies, then going into an outer circle. 04:32.770 --> 04:35.860 And making sure you cover the different logical aspects. 04:36.950 --> 04:43.160 Of chairs which have different priorities to opening new game in and game, but definitely get your 04:43.160 --> 04:50.730 fundamentals in place first before getting the more in-depth technical knowledge, basically. 04:50.750 --> 04:52.280 First things first. 04:52.790 --> 05:00.080 And so hopefully in this course, definitely pay attention to the introduction and beginner sections 05:00.080 --> 05:01.220 as high priority. 05:02.330 --> 05:04.720 So you might want to skip the intermediate sections. 05:06.230 --> 05:10.380 So fundamentals first, details later. 05:11.150 --> 05:17.660 And also, I think it doesn't harm to be inspired by the history and culture of chess playing over most 05:17.660 --> 05:24.170 games, just enjoying the game, enjoying Chernov, as I've mentioned, get that passion flowing, that 05:24.170 --> 05:28.350 passion and your energy to really want to master the game for the game's sake. 05:28.370 --> 05:32.780 If you love the game, as Fisher says, then you'll become a strong player. 05:32.810 --> 05:36.460 It's only players that truly love the game that become strong. 05:37.190 --> 05:42.530 So focusing on passion and love for the game and your fundamentals concentric circle method is very, 05:42.650 --> 05:46.850 very interesting and that applies to opening the end game. 05:46.880 --> 05:52.910 So there's a basic core foundation, for example, and game principles and philosophies, as well as 05:53.130 --> 06:00.410 game principles, philosophies, processes, patterns before getting a bit too, you know, tacky about 06:00.410 --> 06:00.830 things. 06:01.070 --> 06:06.820 You need to get those fundamentals in place first, those inner circles back. 06:07.230 --> 06:08.300 I hope that's clear. 06:10.080 --> 06:10.710 Venceremos.
