Love the opening. I feel like almost all of these videos, which I have been watching a lot of in recent weeks, talk more about what black might do instead of speaking more about the strategy, goals, and how you want to most effectively use white's pieces that fits the strategy.

Thanks for your video and time. We need to get you a more diverse vocabulary...dubious was used more often then any word...also if you are going to be referring to chess notation this often, labeling the square by row and file on the outside of the board would really have helped a lot.

@johnenock1198 4 жыл бұрын

I'm sure I came across a refutation of the Double Muzio somewhere once, but that it was a forced win for white against Queen Knight odds! So white is 3 pieces down but gains a tempo with an eventual Rad1. Amazing.

I am pretty new to chess, like around 8 months now. I have always found the aggressive games more exciting (Eric Rosen being a favorite of mine with his excessive use of the word *Gambit*) and I have watched Morphy games a bit to try and understand how good of a player he was (and as GM Finegold would say - how not good I am). I am ashamed every time I don't instantly remember a game at mention of the players though. The Morphy game shown has a great ending and when I saw the tactical Re8+ I face palmed pretty hard and immediately knew the line/lines. This is gunna take a while to get good at huh? xD

@ne0romantic 7 жыл бұрын

9:53 Black doesn't have to defend f7 at all. Nf6 is a good line but Nc6 is probably the best move. If you're analyzing it with an engine like he seems to be doing that's one where you have to let the engine sit for or very long time to realize White can't then take on f7 with the Knight or like stuff like Bc5 follows Qe2 to prevent mate and then Black's g3 and if White takes the rook Black's Bf2, Nf6, d5, Bg4 etc... you'd have to be an engine to avoid losing a miniature. Black has more than enough compensation for the exchange.

Also, not a chess single video on youtube shows how to best respond when a bishop is used to pin a knight with a King on the other side and the bishop is challenged and pushed back by those nearby pawns. Apparently nobody does at the higher levels, because it happens to me every time I use it and I'm forced to either rush the knight and trade pieces or have my pawn pushed back and out of the lane it was originally in.

@bl1398 7 жыл бұрын

i was told by my teacher that advancing those pawns to attack the bishop and break the pin is a mistake as pushing those pawns out weakens the position. so if the other player does that just let them, they are making their position worse

@Jealod24 6 жыл бұрын

That position has been addressed many times in older videos... if black pawn to a6, maintain pin by bishop to a4, then if pawn to b5, bishop to b3 and now you are putting pressure on f7 and can dev from there.

not at all. you could throw people who've memorised openings by responding with a move they have never seen before, and then beat them with better tactics. Back in the day when my openings were wack, I would just respond with bong cloud attack as black or h5/a5 as black just to throw them off, because they have guaranteed never learnt how to respond to something as ridiculous as h5/a5 (which doesn't even put u into THAT much of a bad position)
