    I’m new to chess and been trying to Duolingo my way to 1000 Elo and I cannot tell you how much you’ve helped me with this video!! That’s why machines could never replace humans!!

    15:53 Yes of course G5 is not perfect outpost for knight but sometimes you can make such move to provoke weakening pawn structure. Interesting idea I learned from ... don't remember channel. K-G5 also attack backward pawn but it could be easily kicked. Double edge sword. If side has enough tempo to do this or other side has stronger initiative.

    Heavy pieces aka major pieces (in contrast to the minor ones). Tactics flow from superior positions (Fischer quote), nice coverage, thank you.

    Would love to see more explaining about how the better positioning ends up creating the tactical opportunities. How they blend.

    I'm 2300 and terrible at positional chess but I have recently created a way to play much better positional chess especially at classical

    Superbly explained, in love with the way you teach chess. In fact from now on you are fave chess creator. But i love your long form content more than short so please never stop making long form content.

    As a Queen Gambit player. It hurts to see black playing Nf6 as a the response to 2.c4. Because that is actually inferior compared to 2..c6 or e6 or even taking on c4 but defending with the Knight actually gives White better development and initiative early on by simply taking on d5 and if you take with the Knight White goes e4 building a Big center and if black takes with Queen then Nc3 is winning a tempo and accelerating development for white Edit: anyways good game😊

    In 11:45 isnt Qc3 a better move? It threatens checkmate and forces the king to open

    Eu já sabia algumas dessas coisas, mas acabo de perceber que embora eu busque controlar mais casas com minhas peças, eu estou focado demais tentando controlar as casas do meu território ao invés de controlar também as casas do adversário 😅. E me corrija se eu estiver errado, mas aqui 9:05 o bispo vai ter que sair da casa de d3, e isso me parece que o Mini plano das brancas de ativar o bispo foi ruim agora que as pretas mudaram a estrutura dos peões e o bispo ficou pendurado, isso me parece que entregou alguma iniciativa para as pretas, eu cometo esse "erro" as vezes 🫤

  16. @SUNATEBUN

    In some openings that my opponents play i usually get some nice developmental advantage but can't attack anything because there is no weakness , what to do in those positions ?
