8:42 Bishop h6 anyway. Point is we're threatening to win the Bishop on e5 because the pawn is pinned, and if Bishop goes to d4 we take the pawn on f4 pinning the Queen because the Bishop is covered by the Rook and they can't go Bishop e3 because that square is also covered by the Knight.

Igor, I have learned a lot from you. I don't always implement it (that's on me, not on you), but I like the idea of simple heuristics to help in the middle game. And find them helpful. It seems if you are aggressive you have to be less of a mind reader as your opponent's intentions. It works better on lower ranked players - they often give up on effective attacks.

I am looking at Bh6, pinning the pawn. That effectively leaves the bishop on e5 undefended. If, for example, white plays g3 to shore up the pawn, black can play Nxe5, and if white recaptures, he loses his queen. If he retreats the bishop to d4, then Bxf4 wins the queen. If white tries to protect the bishop with Qd4, the black plays Nxe5. If white retakes with the queen, then Bxf4 wins the queen. Bottom line is that white cannot save both the queen and the bishop. He will have to either defend the f4 pawn or move his queen or king off the diagonal, but he will lose material.

@JustRightPinedo Ай бұрын

Simply Bxe4 also seems fine bc if he takes you fork his rooks with your knight, cannot capture N with Q bc the rook is now protecting

00:01:41 Move forward and attack anything in your opponent's territory. 00:02:34 Consider moving your pieces as forward as possible to maximize their activity. 00:03:00 Choose the most forward move to increase pressure on your opponent. 00:03:30 Attack something on your opponent's half of the board to create threats. 00:04:55 Prefer moving forward in the center of the board for dominance. 00:06:01 Counterstrike in the middle of the board to overpower your opponent. 00:10:18 Operate along the central files for active play. 00:10:36 Focus on attacking in your opponent's territory rather than solely on checkmating the king. 00:14:05 Ask yourself how to advance into your opponent's half of the board and attack to develop a strong attack.

9:20 Instead of Bxf7+, white could play h4, baiting black to play Nxc3 and enter into a reversed Stafford Gambit. h4 is sometimes a useful move to play in this type of game, so it isn't a complete waste of a tempo. Interestingly, white has a winning score on the Lichess database once they play h4. Black does have some winning responses other than Nxc3, but it's still complicated.

Quiz - you could also push the pawn to d4 attacking the knight. If white takes the bishop then you simple move knight to e3 forking white’s bishop and rook. Your knight’s protected by the pawn and pawn is protected by the queen. If white takes your pawn with the bishop at d4 then you can take with your bishop and attack white’s knight with your bishop which is protected by the queen

@exisfohdr3904 Ай бұрын

The value of controlling the center of the board varies based on all pieces position. If your opponents king is castled, there is increased value to that side of the board, especially for rooks. Center board control is more valuable at opening and start of tge middle game. After castles or imbalanced positions, its definitely questionable.

If you want to climb quickly find an easy system that you can learn in 15 minutes like the London and don't worry about memorizing side lines, just get the basics down and move on to basic checkmates, tactics etc. There are other things that are more important at this ELO but that doesn't mean you can't spend ANY time on openings.

learn 2 openings 1 for black and other for white and just memorize atleast 6 moves and the main idea of the opening and dont blunder take your time and think about what moves you make

@Sixsoul 2 ай бұрын

Pick one or two openings you like and just memorize the first maybe7 or 8 moves so you don't waste time thinking in the early game. That alone will give you an advantage in short time limit games. But don't waste much time doing it, focus 90% of your study time with tactics and positional theory and you'll climb up fast

@user-ej7sr3ow8b 2 ай бұрын

The move of the puzzle should be Be5 Bh6 which pins the f4 pawn, threatening to take the e5 bishop for free. If white plays Bd4 to save the bishop, then Bd4 Bxf4 will pin the queen to the king and win the queen in the next move. White also cannot play a queen move to defend the e5 bishop, because after any queen move, for example Be5 Bh6 Qe1 Nxe5 Qxe5 will be a huge blunder, Bxf4 will fork the queen and king when defended by the f1 rook

@5150mango 2 ай бұрын

What if in response to Bh6 white plays g3 to defend the f4 pawn, then the game just goes on. I'm really struggling to see a move by black that wins on the spot. Same is true if black captures at e5 with the bishop, you win a bishop and rook, but lose a bishop and knight (and are still down a pawn), not exactly a commanding position. Like he says in the video, Nxe5 fxe5 Bxe5 is already a great trade for black but he says there is obviously a better more decisive move for black. Hopefully GM Igor will give us the answer!
