How to Improve at Blitz Chess (I Achieved 2700 Rating!)

In this video, I analyze 4 of my games that helped me achieve 2700 rating on Chess.com Blitz! 😍 Reach out for coaching here: 👉 https://linktr.ee/lionchess Key takeaways ("CRITICAL" next to the most important ones): ---------------- Game 1 takeaways: 1) The more you know your opening, the better your time management will be early on. Try to know at least: Where your pieces go, where you're castling and your area of attack for the middlegame. 2) CRITICAL: The opening is a race - develop as fast as you can, just get all your pieces onto decent squares in preparation for the middlegame 3) Be practical - don't waste plenty of time on tiny decisions. Realize you can't be perfect and play any decent move when the situation calls for it. The point of this is to save time for when it matters (result-deciding tactical battles later!). 4) There's a big difference between aggression and randomly moving up the board. Spot the difference with "Does this make sense/create a threat? Is my attack already there? Am I in a position to launch an attack?" 5) CRITICAL: Thought process: "Did they make a threat?". If yes - deal with it in any decent way. If no - do your thing. 6) As soon as you grab a material advantage, look to trade down to an endgame to have a much easier time converting it to a win! 7) CRITICAL: When you're stuck in the middlegame, ask yourself "What's my worst piece". Games are lost because players don't play with ALL their pieces. Include everything into the game ASAP and you'll win many more tactical battles! 8) Don't compare your time to the opponent's time - compare it to the stage of the game instead! 9) CRITICAL: The most important things in blitz are king safety and piece activity! 10) CRITICAL: Tactical awareness video (where you can learn the 5 triggers that make higher rated players think "There must be a tactic here"):    • Tactical Awareness EXPLAINED! | Stream wit...   Game 2 takeaways: 1) The lower the time control, the more likely an intuitive sacrifice will work. In blitz, do as many of them as you can and analyze them later so you get a very good intuition for them! The point of an intuitive (long-term) sacrifice is to significantly increase your piece activity or playability for the cost of a bit of material. 2) Piece activity is especially important in blitz since it's all about playability and tactics. If you have the chance to sacrifice a pawn for this, do it! Avoid being materialistic in blitz. 3) CRITICAL: Keeping everything defended is always a great strategy to minimize blunders. Make your position safe, solid and secure! 4) Whenever there's a bishop in the endgame, just play on the opposite color to make your pieces invisible to it and significantly reduce the chances of blundering Game 3 takeaways: 1) Pattern: Against a queen check on the E file, avoid trading queens and use that against them by quickly castling and playing Re1 for a discovered attack! 2) The development advantage is a very strong advantage, especially in blitz! Try to make every move a check, capture or threat to delay the opponent's remaining development while building your attack! Game 4 takeaways: 1) The best way to use pawns in chess (in blitz especially!) is to limit and dominate enemy pieces! The more limited enemy pieces are, the less you have to calculate and worry about. Don't let them roam free! 2) CRITICAL: Always try to counterattack instead of defend! Proactive moves are nearly always better than reactive moves! (psst.. remember the scene from Crocodile Dundee - "That's not a knoife. THAT'S a knoife!" *pulls out a bigger knife*) 3) When calculating in blitz, you won't always have time for the full variations (especially in complex positions). Experiment with making a "safety net" - a move that bails out of the complications in the worst case scenario (in the game, Ng3 stopped any checkmates long enough for my attack to work so I didn't have to calculate Bg3 which allowed checks) 4) The less checks you allow, the safer your king will be. Why force yourself to calculate out their checks if you can simply prevent them and save time? 5) Never relax until the game is absolutely over! 6) It's never over until it's over, never resign! Always try a dirty trick at the end, it's a blitz game - who cares! In this game, I fell for such a trick as a result of my relaxation (thinking the game was over) and time pressure. 7) CRITICAL: Avoid tilt! One of the easiest ways to do this is "Play until you lose". Win/draw as much as you want, but stop after 1 loss. If the first game is a loss, study instead or use a burner account where you don't care about rating. Tilt = lost progress.
