My Immortal Game Against a 2700 player! - King's Indian Defense

This was against a friend whom I've played several games against in the King's Indian Defense a few months ago. A few months prior to us playing, I invested quite a bit of time into prep for the opening and had a good feel for different tactics / ideas in these positions. Eventually all the hard work paid off in the form of a brilliant and stunning move. The game is a wild one that just keeps getting wilder.

I'll add this that this is just one of many games that we've played and he has beaten me WAY more than I've beaten him but this one feels like enough to make up for it. My friend is VERY prepared in these positions and it is so much harder to beat him in this opening now. I see him regularly beat titled players in this opening as a result of all the games we've played. He is 2700 blitz and at the time I was 2150 rapid.

I hope you all enjoy the game!

nice game!

Thank you!

Be honest bro how did you get so good at chess.

would you like to see my best KID game on chess.com?

The honest answer is a lot of games and a lot of valuable analysis. Pretty much most losses, especially the really bad ones, I reviewed the game after it was over to see if there was a critical moment that I made a mistake. I then focused on what I had to learn to not make that mistake again in the future. The more often I did that, the less I would make that mistake until I didn't make it anymore. That naturally leads to improvement.

When I didn't make many "big" mistakes anymore, I focused on parts of the game where I didn't really feel like I knew what to do. I began learning whatever I needed to learn what I should do in those moments. Eventually I reached a point where I felt like I knew what to do most times. From there it's simply refining openings, endgames and calculation.

Yea, ofcourse

@ice3old I see, how many games a day would you recommend?

I don't know if I'd recommend a number of games to play a day really. The main thing is just consistency. Don't take really long breaks from chess, try to play at least a few games every day if you can but every other day is totally fine too. Stick to only rapid if you really want to progress. Make sure with every loss you're learning why you lost. That basic plan will guarantee your improvement if you stick to it.
