Ep. 128: Boosting Your Chess Rating & Higher-Rated Opponents (Game Analysis #12)

Beating or drawing higher-rated opponents stems from winning the psychological game, since attempting to outplay them based solely on chess skill usually fails. We also discuss the following:

  • Stop doing THIS and your rating will increase
  • Opening choices
  • Queenside castling: many forget to follow up with THIS move
  • Why the Queen's Indian Defense is so powerful at the club level
  • The "correct" time to consider offering a draw
  • Playing & directing in the same event
