Guys I'm new at chess. Does one really say "en passant!" loudly when playing over the board? For real?

This is perfect! I’m probably too low rated to really be examining the Sicilian but I don’t really care. The first two variations I really started cracking into are the accelerated dragon and the rossolino with that g6 line. I could spend the next ten years looking at the Sicilian and still never fully understand all the theory and subtle nuances in any given position.

I've only been playing for a year, and I always play the Sicilian. You should play what you like. I find the Sicilian really fun, and e5 really un-fun. It's not some scary opening. It just means you'll get both players out of their prep quickly, which I like.

@@giovannitigalo7011 I hear what you’re saying but I think you missed my point. If I’m gonna learn the Sicilian I want to know more about it than just e4 c5. I wanna understand all the intricacies to all the vast amount of different setups and all the different ways white can respond. It’s easy to get blown off the board if you don’t have at least a good understanding of the ideas you’re looking for in each variation.

How does it mean both players will be out of prep? The sicilian is scary because of the many prep and lines...@@giovannitigalo7011

@@mikecroke6078black most often plays the same setup everytime, most people just play the jugoslav variation as white, in which you probably need to know some knowledge when to sacrifice material for counterplay but in general some kind of dragondorf works really well around 2000+

Sac'ing a bishop for two king-protecting pawns is always good in my book. I wouldn't even call that a sacrifice. Hell, I'll do it for two random pawns sometimes.

@9:22 after Re8, is that skewering the king or pinning the knight? Or are they both technically correct and can be used interchangeably? Skewer as I understand it means you attack a piece with bishop/rook/queen, then the piece being skewered moves and you eat the piece behind it. But now that I think about it, is it still a skewer if it's not the king being attacked since they don't have to move, thus it's just a normal attack threat or a pin if they cannot afford to lose the piece being X-rayed behind the pinned piece? Asking the real important questions here.. hahaha

@ex0duzz 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, I don't think it's a skewer. "In chess, a skewer is an attack upon two pieces in a line and is similar to a pin. A skewer is the opposite of a pin; the difference is that in a skewer, the more valuable piece is the one under direct attack and the less valuable piece is behind it."

@epicchess2021 4 ай бұрын

Ah sorry you’re right I always mix those up, yeah it’s a pin you’re right, almost feels like there should be two types of skewers to me because in either direction I can imagine sticking the pieces on a kebab skewers haha

@ex0duzz 4 ай бұрын

@@epicchess2021 you're right, there are two types according to the wiki page. Absolute and relative. King vs everything else basically(queen or rook im guessing since they are the only pieces vs more than a rook or bishop that's used to do the skewer, but I guess there's always exceptions based on the position. "Skewers can be broken down into two types: absolute and relative. In an absolute skewer, the king is in check, therefore the check must be handled (under the rules of chess); whereas in a relative skewer, the pieces involved do not necessarily need to be addressed, but it is generally disadvantageous to not address the skewered piece."

@kingsgambit7098 4 ай бұрын

I was hoping the game would continue a bit further. Knowing Magnus, he would have sacked the rook for a knight once his king got the optimal placement. 4 pawns are better than a minor piece. Especially when there is play on both sides of the board against the knight.

@michaelmassaro4375 4 ай бұрын

I thought he would too he’s confident enough one of those passed pawns would’ve promoted

@kingsgambit7098 4 ай бұрын

@michaelmassaro4375 Wouldn't require confidence. That endgame is actually very straightforward and Hikaru wouldn't have any chance of winning. At best, white could draw.
