1. Cats rule, dogs drool. That said, the lil bastards definitely like to paw at recently moved pieces. 2. My DJ buddy (who also occasionally sold pot at our local school's chess club in the late 90's) has a cat named "Oontz". 3. Spot on. 4. What about free knowledge? I'm SOLD. 5. There have been some online cheating possibilities discussed here. ☹ 6. C'mon, Nelson's a pretty good looking dude. 7. Technically I'm "bullshitting" in the comment sections of YT videos all the time, but it's more synonymous with "friendly banter". 8. I've been learning sooo much from this channel over the last few weeks. I wish more people played chess. The world would be a better place. ✌❤🤘

@tctrainconstruct2592 2 жыл бұрын

actually, the triangulation part can be explained better with a different definition of opposition. According to this alternate definition, we have opposition when it's not our turn, and when the rectangle of which 2 opposite corners are the 2 kings has all its corners on the same square color. "Straight" direct/distant opposition is when such a rectangle has an area of 0 squares.

2:34, in this position I would actually prefer to O-O, I understand that I'm casting into a pin, but on the next move I'd move knight to g8 blocking off the queen and I'm fine with the semi-open f file in case they want to trade my knight for a white square bishop. I sacrifice my f pawn in many games anyway if I plan on castling kingside. Or semi open g file in case they apply pressure on the pinned pawn with dark square bishop and decide to sacrifice.

(1) I've just finished watching this entire series of videos. The only things that were new to me (I've got around a 1550 rating, but haven't played in a few decades) was not taking the opponent's pawn, but blocking it instead; and how to use the knight to avoid being checked by a queen. (Some things, like rook lifts, were familiar, but I don't recall ever using them.) (2) I was once told that the reason Grandmasters play "weird" openings against amateurs is because the GM know they'll be able to win anyway. It seems to be a form of handicapping.

I am not Nelson, but I would say the French Defense is a bit easier at our levels because #1 opponents are a lot less prepared for it and #2 even though there are a lot of variations the Sicilian has nearly infinite variations and nuances so it's very difficult for both sides to play a perfect game. That being said I just prefer the Caro-Kann against E4 as I can guarantee I reach a solid and comfortable position for myself as black.
