This is the first introductory lesson “How Do You Progress in Chess?” from the chess course “3 Steps to 2000 ELO”. In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov addresses why most chess players are stuck and do not progress further, no matter how much they train.
After learning the chess fundamentals, basic openings, middlegame strategies and tactical motifs, and a few basic endgame positons, most chess players often start to be stuck and they’re unsure of how to progress further despite of the efforts they’re putting to it. Why is that so? And most importantly, how to progress in chess?

This channel is such a gift
I would love to join ur course man but its too expensive for me and if i join and my wife finds out first she will kill me and then she will come for u.🤣🤣
This video makes me miss the dislike button.
I'm literally watching this just to gas myself up already being 2000 in lichess which is around 1800 in FIDE.
I watched your master class at least 6 times Igor and as much as i love playing I'm afraid at my age(64) that I'll never get over my 600 something rapid and 500 blitz rating.
All I do is play chess and I was almost 1000 rated rapid but my wifi was so terrible I kept losing because of abandonment so I stopped playing for a long time and when I started playing again I lost most of my rating.
My budget does not allow me to buy any courses .
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all your free videos you have made public to everyone.
Best regards.

Im so stuck myself, I'm at 962. 🙁 and I used to be at 1089
Almost never got to the point
I am class A I need about 200 more steps
I got to 1300, but now my rating has crushed to the bottom after the last tournament. I had lost every game but one which I drew through perpetual check. Now I'm trying to figure out what might have gone wrong.
When are you stuck at a certain rating? How long does it take?
Being between 1700-1800 for 3 months now of my 15 months of playing the game, but now is the first time i'm actually finding it hard to know where I need to improve at in my game.
What time of games are we talking for these rankings ?
I'm not stuck at a rating. Just unsure how much time I want to spend to get better.
the reason ur stuck at an mmr is cuz the number mmr is not just how good u are its also at what pace u need to learn in orders to stay at that mmr so if ur stuck at the same mmr for 20 years u will be a much better player cuz the competition evolves
Disagree 100%. Maybe 1400..and that might be stretching it
Hello mr igor.. my name is moeti godfrey maine from a village called dryharts,i jst wanna give thanks to you sir ur lessons made a strong player i really love the way u teach chess..i have a lot of ur videos and ur strategies really work so effective..ur a brilliant chess teacher ..
My blitz rating on lichess is ~2100 and sometimes I make almost 10 blunders in one game.
Can't even make it to 1000.
I was a 3200 player and now I’m a 1800 player. How do I get back to 3200 again?
I'm not gonna divorce my wife or husband but I will put a couple of hours a day into study, then my wife and husband will get a couple hours to themselves
I am stucked in 1600-1700
Like about 3 months ago I was 500, and then like 1 week later I am 800. Then I stopped playing because exams. 1 month later I started playing again, and climbed from 800 to about 1200 in like 3 weeks. and then stuck on 1200. if I don't lose today, I will have 60% chance of going back down to 1100 tomorrow. I think this will help me go higher than 1200 since I now know what to improve. If I go against 1400, I have 50% chance of winning. If I go against 1600, I have 45% of winning. If I go against 1800, I have 40% chance of winning. I know that because I almost always get a almost unstoppable attack and them barely able to survive my attack by just one move away. I am like 8/10 on the opening, 9/10 on attack, 3/10 on defense, 6/10 on endgame and mostly use less than 10 second on every move while actually making good move.
I started by reading Lasker
I went from 1050 to 1250..
Thank you for the information. a faster pace would have been even better!
Thank you! I feel like most people seem to plateau at this stage, plenty of guys in my state are in the 1400-1500 range and have been for years.
I stock at 1850
I've just arrived at 1500 today, I'm fairly happy at this achievement but still strive for more.
The niemann method raised my chess rating 1000 points in one day.
me, 800: yes very interesting
don't waste your time at this video it's an ad
Listening to Igor pronounce the word “pawn” is better than listening to Benedict Cumberbatch say “penguins”
what a waste of time, not one piece of useful information
I practice hrs a day or play rapid games I had a knack for chess when I was a kid …stopped for a bit and progressing into the 1500s…..it will get there u put in time* and study not just games and them tactics you'd be surprised
I'm barely beating 800s
