I'm with black here.

Love this

 

[Dave54]

Nice check mate. He had a better position, but he did not do well at the end.

One more hard one, but the ending was great. he kept losing figures at the end and could not do any damage to my king. Pleasure to beat a Brit guy.

 

[Dave54]

Fairly easy one.

 

[Dave54]

Another game to the wire.

I’ve really got into Naroditski videos on YouTube. Best chess tutor I’ve encountered. His speed-run series is worth looking into.

 

[Dave54]

I 'll check him out. Thanks.

 

[Dave54]

He is too advance for me. Rating above 2000 is no joke. I'm 900-1100 and I find it tough to play someone over 1000 rating. My doc kind of recommends me to play it every day, since to latest Brain MRI scan shows some shrinkage in the brain mass, which could indicate early Alzheimer. So, the best way to work around that by playing 2-3 setups a day.

 

[Dave54]

I like this guy on Youtube.

 

[Dave54]

Just finished this one.

 

[Dave54]

Tough opponent but he made a mistake at the end. I find that my endgame is improving.

 

[Dave54]

I should add some other games. This one, Michail Tal vs Vladimir Akopian, 1992.

 

[Dave54]

Final game for today. The guy resigned after a while.

 

[Dave54]

Down to the wire again. Good ending.

Hey Dave thanks for sharing and sorry to hear about your MRI. Chess will help and it's also a beautiful game.
I'm around 1840+ and will even go as low as 1500 if I don't keep playing or do puzzles for a while.
Would recommend you also check out the puzzles because they will help your in a passive way where you're not pressured for time.
Also Gotham is okay and the biggest channel on youtube but I would suggest https://www.youtube.com/@ChessNetwork if you really want to learn. Agadmator is also great (he's got playlist or sagas for a bunch of players from the past that you might like)
Wish you all the best

Thank you. You have a great rating, 1840 is no joke. I do puzzles too when I get tired from the live games, or just play with the boat with no pressure. I find that 30 minutes game keeps me concentrated better, anything less I tend to make simple mistakes.
