Excellent video !
I loved your quote in the beginning about what excellence truly is?
I have one question

#1: Would you suggest (my rating is about 1200) to use defenses i usually dont play with in order to confuse my opponent and get them out of their "comfort zone"?

I think advice ony applies when your opponent can prepare for the game and knows what you might play.

I am simply showing an illustration of how psychology can apply to a chess game. I dont know what might be best for you because I dont know your strengths and weaknesses... What I can say is that at 1200 there is alot to learn Specially in the field of tactics..

Dear Salesman

Good you destroyed the myth that psychology has nothing to do with it.
(Bobby Fischer: "I don't believe in psychology, I believe in good moves".).
More of these aspects of the game, please.

How come you had to play someone 1050 points (!) below you?

Kind Regards

Bayes

Fischer was a genius with a ego... He also said, " I like the moment when I break a man's ego. " ( no psychology in that obviously)

Thanks for your input Bayes, I hope you enjoy the second video.

Dear Salesman,

Of course I did like it.
Even if my comment might sounded a bit harsch in your last video.
I, simple meant, I do want you to post a video of the d5 line. I seem too recall (wussiesly?(I tried some different english that I am not used too)) some game that brought that line in favour of white. So, it would be interesting. I truely meant it.

I have seen the video (Dick Cavett Show, seach for it on youtube, just frabjous). I mean he had his ghosts too and it was a lie when he said "Psych....".
Any Tal game would prove this.

I like your analysis games. Your blitz live, so so, you talk to little. Though, I sheer for the white side in your retí live blizt games .
Anyway, you are a pro. so who am I?

I have not locked at your last video, but agog (Hope this means something possitive!. A bartender, here in sweden, said this was an old word. I like it!. Victorian style?!). Other words I like is mitigate and ameliorate).



Bayes/Jakob

Bayes, the outspoken one... Thank you for your inputs

Nice game, from both sides. Salesman used some decent variations at the right times to get the better end of the battle.
