(video 2 of 2)
Sharing for anyone looking to beat those hyper aggressive players all over #Chesscom

For greater perspective, this video is from black's view.

Here's what I notice in black's aggressive approach, which is really common on the chess.com platform:

• Their queen is undefended, center-board most of the game.
• Pieces come out 1, 2 at a time for kamikaze missions, like they are the queen's "flying monkeys."
• Most importantly, look at how undefended black's king remains after they castle, vs how white castles INTO heavily defended territory.

Black's aggressive style of play freaks out people learning the game. But notice how even when black shifts their attack onto Nc3 (knight on C-file), they really have no control of the board. It's all hot air, a house of cards.

The goal of agro chess:
Aggressive opponents want to make you stay in a reactionary state, because that's the mindset where you'll be most likely to make a mistake. Keep your cool!! They WILL tire themselves out, at which time you can start advancing an attack of your own.

Moral of the Story:

• Develop, develop, develop! Move everything off its starting position, and relocate pieces to more active squares
• Dont let their stabby game create a distraction from your own plan; only react to imminent threats, otherwise maintain offense plays.
• Understand castling and keep an eye on that king. If your opponent's king is put in the corner all alone, attack.
