Don’t they just take your queen after bishop c4? Or is there some trap? I’m not familiar with this opening
@ChessCoachNick
@ChessCoachNick 3 ай бұрын
This is the Center Game Accepted: Paulsen Attack, Berger Variation. Very romantic chess esque and super fun to learn! The white queen has been chillin on e3 since the knight went c6 to punish the capture of d4. Bc4 is “last move” of the opening for white, but it is supported by stockfish as well. After d6: h4, f3, Nh3 are all appealing. Nh3 is known as Hanham’s Variation.

FEEDBACK: give your game example the same attention to detail and time as the previous examples. I do like that you kept things concise but felt like some value was lost. To echo other comments, go into more detail of thought processes behind the moves made. Liked the format, no over hype, no filler. Subbed

@Stratosarge

FEEDBACK: When you went into the first game and you evaluated the position as being close to equal regarding material, the type of the position and king safety. But before you showed the first move I would have loved to hear about how you can spot the positional advantages in that position. What stands out for you? Where can the potential energy be found in the position that allows for the long term advantage? What is your thought process? Many times coaching is all about explaining the self-evident. There are things that are self-evident to both you and the student, and there are things that are self-evident only to you, and you often cannot tell which it is beforehand, so I felt lost during the moves as I felt like I was expected to see things that I just cannot on my own level. Or perhaps I just was not a part of the target audience.

for anyone wondering why the moves are like that it's because white King can't take the pawn cause after Kx black takes the knight with his bishop and RK vs BK is draw if played perfectly. so, after Rg8+ king has 2 choices and both get checked by Nc5 saving the knight from danger (or maybe if Kd7 you can go Nb8+ instead). The black king chases after the knight so the white king won't be able to take the pawn because RK vs BK is a draw. after Nc5+ black has 2 options for chasing the knight and to keep it simple: -if the king moves to the same diagonal as the knight then the knight just moves with check until eventually they end up in the backrank -if the king goes to the same file the rook can come to protect the knight while giving check
