Actually, as a fellow 1300, when I analyse my game, I noticed I'm making the most mistakes with knight. Pawns are usually pretty good for me(except last game, where I missed one good pawn move five moves on a row, until my opponent made it impossible).

@hombreelefante123 6 жыл бұрын

At 14:06, Ben says, "You have three pieces that can take (the black pawn) on D4. Somebody suggested to take it with the white C pawn. Ben kept a straight face, and said, "with the pawn", but that's risky because it gives black a "slight" advantage. Then, he kept a straight face while we discovered what an enormous understatement that was. Hilarious! This was entertaining to watch.

at 13:12 if the white knight moves as the black bishop is threatening it the black bishop cannot take the pawn on g2 as after white moves the knight to g5 and then black takes the pawn on g2 with the bishop, white can play f3 trapping the bishop and it can then be taken by simply playing rook to g1. just something I picked up there as he said after white moves his knight away black can then take the pawn which he cannot

Why would not at 13:00 black go ...c4 (explosive!) and then next move install the bishop on d3? There is no light-square bishop and both knights are totally unprepared to attack that bishop. I suppose white could go Kd1 followed by Ne1 but that still seems excellent for black. Or b3 followed by bxc4 (to which bishop would respond Bd4 but the bishop looks excellent on that diagonal.
