Hello Elliot. The book is called "Train Yourself On Blindfold Chess", by Sourav Sahay.

Stay tuned, I'll work on that as well.

Thank you for your feedback.

It’s when the player whose turn it is has no legal moves. It’s white’s turn and the king cannot move because the pawn is blocking G1 and the other king is blocking G2 and protecting the pawn

@@danmilew ok thx

like a checkmate, without a check(and no more legal moves)

Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you for your feedback! I will cover only one game per world championship match. I’m planning to go all the way to Gukesh VS Ding. It will be a long journey, but interesting from a historical point of view.

​@@IMGiorgiSibashviliwell, in this case I am really very curious to see your choices in the 1972 world title, but also in Sevilla 1987 and the 1990 world title. In all three cases, I have very specific matches that I particularly loved and studied in depth . But I won't tell you until I've seen your favorites (or maybe the ones you consider most informative)👍p.s. I'm happy that you will cover the world title, but if Ding doesn't recover from his current form, I'm afraid we will only analyze Gukesh victories...

Well you are not wrong. 😂😂

They probably would’ve used descriptive notation like pawn to kings 4th (e4 or e5)), or knight to kings bishops third (Nf3 or Nf6), where it would be symmetrical for example 1. e4 e5 would be written as Knight to kings 4th, Knight to kings fourth

There's a really old game that I recall, that was a poem, that we can deduce what the actual game was. This might be something like that.

Maybe not, maybe they had the idea of creating castling due to the king lack of mobility in the center and the rook always left on the corner during their games, so they decided to make a move that switches quick places to give more value to pieces as they were barely used

@@XD_Ryanit was initially from the kings leap/jump, where you can put your rook on f1 or d1 and jump your king over to the rook to the adjacent square in 2 seperate moves, then eventually evolved into a single move 15th century, whether they played any of these rules is uncertain, however since they didn’t castle or try to execute kings leap, probably not

@@XD_Ryan Thank you for answering!

@@PsychoSledgeHammer1237 Thank you for answering! Yes, because there was no castling I thought the same.

My guess is that you meant this line: 1...Rxh3 2.Rxc5 Qg3 3.Qxg3 Ne2+ 4.Kh1 Ng3+ 5.Kg1 Ne2+ 6.Kh1 Rc3 -+ Black should win with an extra piece.

Ne5 then Be6? I think Bxf7 must be first

@@ExtraNerfGunif be6 you just take and damage the structure, your much better, bxf7+ does work though, however Ne5 is better because of your centralised knight and their weak e pawns

because it cuts whites king off. even black king goes across the 8th rank it doesn't make it in time

​@@GeorgeRChess I mean logically, you would only go towards the a8. It's bad for explanation of "the rule of the square" to move randomly with the king.

According to the Lichess Database, 1.d4 f5 has been played almost 25 Million times.

On which move?

Just imagine them protecting with a pawn instead of knight but a very good stategy

@@Enclyd I assume you meant 1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.f4. There you can play a good move 3...f6 4.exf6 Nf6 5. Nc3 d5 followed by Bc5-Bf5-0-0 and so on. Black gets good compensation for material deficit.

Have you tried it? What's your rating?

I have played against it tons of times and win 9 out if 10. So I stand at my assessment and if you are in doubt - check how many Englund gambits there are played in high level chess. If you meet an unprepared opponent or weak opponent then yes you will probably win but it's down hill from. there.

@@TheCryron Thank you for the feedback. Those opening traps are for players rated around 1000. Clearly not for higher-rated players.

In this case the trick no longer works
