You’re Developing Wrong – Here’s the Right Way - The Amateur's Mind

Описание: In this third episode of my viewer game analysis series, we take a close look at a game submitted by a passionate chess improver who runs into trouble early on—not because of tactical blunders, but due to how she develops her pieces.

The opening choices in this game reveal some of the most common misconceptions about development: moving the same piece multiple times, ignoring central control, and underestimating the importance of harmonious piece placement. These small missteps accumulate, leading to a worse position out of the opening and a difficult middle game.

In this video, I walk you through:

The right principles of piece development

Why time and tempo matter early on

How to recognize when your setup is going wrong

Concrete improvements that would have made a huge difference

This is a must-watch if you've ever felt unsure about your openings, or found yourself drifting into passive or cramped positions despite “developing your pieces.” It's not just about getting them out—it’s about getting them out right.

👉 Real game, real mistakes, real improvement
👉 Learn to develop the right way and take control from move one
