Chess Master Made an Entire Course On How To Beat Me...

What's your name? Ruben. Ruben? Ruben, Ruben. Oh! Ah! Oh, yes. You have a full traceable against my opening, so I'll give you the white pieces. Okay, okay. Do you want this? Yes. But I actually have a twist, so since you do have a full traceable against what I play, you have to play the first three moves blind, as in we can't see, and not like with notation, but as in actually blind. Okay, I cannot see your moves? And neither of us can see. No. Okay. That's the twist for the first three moves. Okay. Good luck, Ruben. All right, I'm going to start the claw. Okay. Tell me what you move. D4. Don't tell me what you move. You're not supposed to tell me your move. The whole point is that you have to make him... Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Wait, let me give you more time. The whole point of this is so that you can't do your traceable first against me. Okay. Wait, okay. You have to make it without looking. You have to close your eyes and guess. Okay. That wasn't my variant. I already played. Okay, okay, okay, good. You played. Okay. Good. You're allowed to touch all your pieces before you move, I guess. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand. I'm still afraid. Okay. Okay, just three moves. I moved. Okay. Let me touch my pieces. But you're not allowed to touch mine. You can only touch yours. Okay. That's the rules. Just three moves. Where is this one? Here. I already played. I already moved. Okay. I'm thinking. Okay, yeah. You didn't touch my pieces, right? Yeah. Okay, good. I think, yeah. Well, yeah, as long as you didn't use them. I'm playing. Okay. One more move left for both of us. Okay, it's my turn? Yep. Let me know when you move. I already moved. Okay. All right. After my move, you can. Okay. Oh, okay. All right. Our last move, I'm opening. Ready? Okay, yeah. I took. Okay, this is the position. I just took your pawn. Okay. Now you can't beat me with your preparation. I wanted to play against the King's Indian. I know you did. That's why I came up. You're too high rated to let you, but I'll still see your prep. I'll still let you play that line, but I knew you would crush me, so I thought it'd be nice. Yeah, I saw you play the King's Indian, so I was like, okay. I mean, I can try. Oh, I saw your course. You're not only 2,100, but you also have a course against the only line that I play, but you should still try. Smash the King's Indian, yeah. But I wanted a fair game versus the 2,100, which was not very fair for you, but more fair for me. That's justice. Okay. But now, okay. Do you think I'm underrated or overrated? What do you think my chance is? No, you are playing really good. But I saw you. You usually play night before. In most of the games with that bishop. Oh, I never play this. I have no idea what this is. No, no. I mean the plan against the C2 pawn or the King's Indian. Oh, you prepared for both of them? No, no. I was seeing your games. Okay, I have to play fast. What do you do for Chess.com or mainly Chessable? Yeah, I'm working in both. I'm working in the support team. Okay. In Chess.com, Chessable, Dr. Wolf, and some kind of things, and also in the fair play. What's the funniest thing you've seen someone need help with? If that's like any funny stories that you've ever had to fix. Well, there are a lot, but I usually make like relationship with the customers. I try. Maybe someone asking me, oh, I need help with this back. And then we started to talk about the life. Oh, that's really wholesome. Yeah, yeah. Maybe three times I started a new relationship. That's really sweet. That's actually really wholesome. And also in the last month, I released the Chessable course. I am pretty new in it. Smash the King's Indian. Yeah, exactly. How long did it take you to build that course? Maybe three months. I had a lot of material this opening because I usually play this since I was young. So I'm pretty confident with that variation. Yeah, I was pretty scared. All right. Once a trainer told me that when I was thinking about which rook move, I had to think, think, and when I was sure what rook to move, move the other one. Oh, really? That's funny. Yeah, honestly, that's a good advice. That's probably the best piece of chess advice I've ever heard. Bing, bing, bing, bing. Ooh, okay. I think I get a pawn. Yeah, maybe. Ooh, and I have some tricks. It was all calculated. Okay. I'm going to take this one. Don't like that Bishop. All right, let's just play normal. Okay, you've got a nice position now. It's equal, I think. Are you one of the strongest, highest-rated people at Chess.com? No, me? No, no, no, no. Really? 2100? I would assume. No, no, there are grandmasters. Oh, you're not from Chess.com? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I have a... Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, yes. Oh, no. Oh, yes. That's interesting. I thought I blundered really bad. I was like, it's over. But I've got some things. Again, always calculate it. Always calculate it. Okay, it's not plus, right? It's five plus zero. Nope. Monkey school of chess. We need a win somehow. Okay, let's do it. All right, he's going for it. Let's see what happens. Oh, j'adope. That's French. It's hard to think that this trade could have been better for you, but maybe I'm missing something. Oh, I guess you take my pawns. Yeah, only one, only one. Or maybe two, yeah. Wait a second. Okay. I could sack everything. These are stuck. All my pieces are stuck. All right. Oh, this is really annoying. I can't do anything. Bang. All right. I think now I can do this. It took some time. I had to wait it out. Had to be patient. Sorry, we were not good at the calendaring. I told Billa to give me what times, but... Okay, good. Okay, 40 seconds. I have to win on time. I have to. There's no other way to win this. I don't know. All right. Knights are in action. Okay. I'm so slow. Oh, ----. Check. Oh, it actually worked. I had to... Oh, my God. Wait. Let's have some more. No balls. You cannot keep balls. Check. It's going to be a stupid draw. Okay, you know what? I'll take the draw. I have seven seconds. Okay, good game, good game. I wonder if I would have done the other check. I don't think I could have saved it. I have to take it with the rook. I didn't save it. Yeah, GG. Okay, okay.
