Hey NL chess tip incase you see this. i have watched all of your chess vids and you are quite the positional genius I must say. I think these two games demonstrate your biggest weakness currently. I think you have problem falling into the "opponents game". For example in the first game you countered your opponents moves with higher threats and such and kept your opponent on the backburner until you could trade the game down into a winning endgame beautifully done. The second game however you let shallow threats force your pieces to disadvantages spots where in turn your opponent found tactics to win. You also traded your extremely well positioned queen when you were only a pawn up. My suggestion would be to analyze your oppentes threats a little longer and keep on the attack as long as you can. To anyone who has read this far these are just suggestions and i have the same elo as NL so i'm no expert.

At least at Lichess (SF 12+) depth 18 white's situation just gradually gets worse until there's a mate some 50 moves later although black's been hopeless even in my amateur eyes for quite some time. How didn't I see that.

@besNait 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah the main problem seems to be lack of white king safety, when it spends moves to put its knight into a corner for a rook that was out of play. Engine line is complicated, but non engine lines are also showing that black attack is hard to stop.

@andregoepfert2745 3 жыл бұрын

I think (as mentioned before) people often overvalue taking the cornered inactive rook with a knight that had to make at least 4 moves or so to get there and now itself is stuck in said corner (at least that's how i explain it to myself 😂)

@SanderJK 3 жыл бұрын

I set it up to test. It's a pretty good thing to look at actually, if you walk the knight to d4, then to C2, you trade knight for queen, and then you can walk back with your king and get the black knight. So it's a free queen 6 moves deep, or if you (like me) don't see that far especially in short games, a queen for rook in 4 moves.

“They’re gonna queenside castle, which, I’m flabbergasted” I mean, they are playing the Scandinavian. What else did you expect? Not castling queenside in the Scandinavian is like not threatening scholar’s mate in the Wayward Queen Attack. If you’re not prepared to castle queenside into a dubious pawn structure, you’re not prepared to play the Scandinavian. Then again, there’s usually a pawn on c6. Or c7 if you like to live dangerously.

At 7:29, after Nd4, I thought the opponent's plan was Bxd4 Rxd4 Qxc2 Rxh4, and I thought that this was low-key genius because after the dust settles, the opponent has two rooks and potentially a queen (after e4) threatening NL's king. Rxd4 makes the initially blunder-looking Nd4 move potentially good (it could still be a bad move, my analysis wasn't thorough). Anyway, after Bxd4 exd4?? I literally facepalmed.

If nothing else, that was the wrong time to play the c5 gambit. It’s dubious when you do it right (after an immediate d4), but it’s awful when the discovered attack is already set up like that.
