Please, if you ever play the Pirc defence, remember it was named after Vasja Pirc. And since he was Slovenian, it would be a sign of respect if you pronounce it "Peerts". Because that's how his name was pronounced.

@emberheat990 13 күн бұрын

The Alekhine defense is pretty rare, but my favorite response is the Krejcik gambit. e4 Nf6 Bc4 with the idea that when Nxe4 Bxf7 immediately, Kxf7, then Qh5. if the king moves back to g8, or if the pawn blocks, you fork them on d5, and if the king moves up to e6, you go Qe2 and pin them, you'll win their knight next move by attacking it with a pawn, and believe it or not, white is no worse than -0.4 in any of these situations. It totally forces any alekhine player out of their comfort zone and I'd love to see your approach to playing it in a rating climb if you get hit with an alekine. I've really been enjoying the series so far and thank you for playing the scotch today, which was my commented opening last time.

Before you get to high rated elo play the rook gambit opening that was played by that guy who got his account suspended recently. Ive seen other people play it since then including hicaru and I believe magnus played it… its where you move your h7 or a2 pawn up two spaces with the first move then bring the rook out to h5 or a3 and trade your rook for their bishop

@williamsquires3070 13 күн бұрын

Hi Nelson. At 10:44, you play … Kg7, but I think … f5+! is a better move. 1) if white plays gxf6 e.p., you recapture exf6 and you now have two side-by-side passed pawns, and 2) f7 is now available for your king; this puts it closer to the center for the endgame, and it leaves g7 open for the bishop if you need it. 3) if white does not recapture en-passant, you have a pawn-bishop fence that forces the white king back and controls squares in the center. Can you comment on this? What does the engine say?

22:35 doesn't responding to ..Qe8 with Ne5 prevent black from forcing the queen trade? They can trade knights, but you have the defended pawn in the way then. They could add an attacker with ..f6 or ..Bc7 but that gives you the time to castle to safety and avoid the pin.

Quick question. If they do see the battery against that pawn in pirc isn't then the bishop move kinda just loosing tempo?

@hilibpleybey5503 13 күн бұрын

Yeah, kinda. But 1) this h3 pawn move wasn't so useful anyway. So it also loses a tempo. Kinda. 2) that's a pawn move in front of a castled king, which makes king's position less safe. So - even if Nelson's opponent would defend with Kh2 or something, he would have to keep always watching for all sorts of tactics and sacrifices against this f2-g3-h3 pawn structure.
