RIP to all the noble knights who sacrificed themselves in this video. 😢

It feels like the knight move in game 6 is more of a clearance sacrifice rather than a deflection because the idea would still work if you could just remove the knight from the board and the bishop remained on the same square.. Either way great concepts!

@mattt3942 2 жыл бұрын

Same idea with game 1 ? Had the knight not been there, the pawn simply could have blocked ?

16:28 the starting position is not from the game Jonasson - Antgantysson, but probably a reconstruction (of what happened in the ending) that works better. White's advanced pawn was on f6, not e6, attacking both black's queen (on e7) and the bishop on g7. That's when black ignored it, and pushed the pawn to e2, and white took the queen on e7.

9:22 Why is this a win? At least it’s not trivial, queen vs rook + knight endgames are tricky. 16:40 The move played in the game was not e7, but the pawn on f6 take the queen on e7. It’s a very famous "resigning in winning position" example.

@samuelrussell5760 2 жыл бұрын

Ask Nepo if a queen beats a knight and a rook.

@RulezAPower 2 жыл бұрын

9:22 Both pieces are hanging for black, knight c3 DOES defend it, but pretty sure after a few checks the hanging knight will just fall due to the uncoordination of the pieces. Rook e5+ ofc simply doesn't work as well, cuz king f4, both pieces are still attacked and the knight can't defend the rook

@MrBjornhenrikformo 2 жыл бұрын

You're right about that e7 move. The night deflection only popped up in a news paper long after the game. Of course, this was before the computer era🙂

17:36 why black doesn't play e1 then white could only delay check mate by Qf1? If white uses rook to block the bishop with Rf2, after e1Q, Qf1, Qxf1, Kxf1, Re8, black has a good chance to win with extra bishop vs. 2 pawns (e7 pawn is on dark square, same color with the black bishop and cannot be saved).

@jennytseng572 2 жыл бұрын

15:58 If you look closely you can see that black queen can just take the rook on D1 and then it’s checkmate so idk why black didn’t do that

@netspirit79 2 жыл бұрын

These Mitrofanov deflections are simply surreal. I wonder how the players even considered them as candidates moves for longer than a second before dismissing them. They had to be from the future, running Stockfish in 1952.

@rgqwerty63 2 жыл бұрын

Can someone better than me explain why in the 1st example you cant just block with Ne2? I see white has qh8+ but black can then block with qg8. What am I missing?

@Zaranathax 2 жыл бұрын

That move works as a defensive idea but not if you want to win the game; white would be able to force a draw with a perpetual check between h8 and h6.

@alipp08 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, it wouldn't be a perpetual between Qh8 and Qh6 because black can block Qh6+ with Qg7, and then white can't go Qh8+. Your question made me curious so I plugged it into the analysis, it gives white a slight advantage after -- 19. Ne2 20. Ne4 Qh5 21. Qxh5 Bxh5 22. Nxf6 Bf3 23. Nxe8 Rxe8 . Black loses a rook and white has the bishop pair.

@alexanderxyz6146 2 жыл бұрын

11:40 but how is it falling apart? (K->H7) I thought we should understand the why? I would have wished you elaborating on that, despite I'm aware higher levels watching and it might not be necessary to some. Because I have seen that position in my head (Qe6 check) but I couldn't find how it's winning or gets to a mate cause with the black queen there (not falling for the deflection "trap") the king is protected against mate against only knight and queen. Maybe I expected too much and your point is fischer will have more pawns :-) Anyways, amazing stuffs you show here!

I feel like we’re kind of cheating when you ask us to guess what move would be best. Maybe in the future you could have a video for deflections but it could be any piece instead of one piece in particular so we can guess with a little more difficulty/imagination. Wonderful video of course though thank you

Game 5 - What did you mean by "Even Fischer was aware of it" referring to the knight deflection. Sounds condescending. In my mind it's "of course Fischer saw the deflection, as he was one of the best tacticians of his era, and became a world champion!" I personally think he was an a§§whole, I didn't like anything about the guy except he had an exceptional mind that was focused on only one thing - Chess.
