Can you win this position against Stockfish? 4k2r/8/8/8/8/8/4P3/4KBN1 w - - 0 1

The white Bishop is buried and is useless . The black Knight has a few outposts. I'd say black is better

I'm happy I did see this dangerous threat 😀 Great example!

What book is that?

I'm just remembering how much I enjoy playing chess.

At 23:22 I would have simply moved my rook back to a2, since the pawn is now forfeit if I do. Rd4 looked nice, but Ra3 resolves both threats that I create.

It's such a bad rook, that if RH3 was still blocked, I'd probably move it to h1 to force the bishop to trade off for it.

H2

Nice

Hi coach I have the database which consists of 4.3 million games of gm. I want to learn some instructive ideas or patterns which arise in gm games and apply to my own games. What do you suggest me to do because it is obvious that i cannot go through all 4.3 million games. And how to identify the moment that idea come into play. please help!

what a fantastic video ! Super helpful !

I play bad chess started at 400elo and have been in 950 - 1050 for 6 months . I am 52, played for 1 year about 1-2 hours a week. No study, no puzzles. It's all on me!!! So yes getting serious is the way to go... but I love the game.

I found the position with the domination of the rook on h2 instructive - in that position, I'd take care of my backrank first with some luft but then several plans come to mind - such as advance my h pawn with the goal of restricting his h pawn to keep that rook buried, centralize my king (as endgame kings should be), and realize that his rooks are essentially dead because he cannot move his other rook due to a back rank issue, in terms of piece activity your bishop and knight are far better than his rook, and your other rook is much better than his which is stuck guarding the back rank, therefore a rook to the 7th rank or g- file with may also be a good plan along with advancing your pawn majority. On the g-file he meets Rg5+ with Kf1 which you can meet with Be2+ which he responds with Ke1 which allows your rook to invade on the 1st rank with a skewer to his other rook winning it and the game

Improvement suggestion: make evaluation bar visible during analysis e.g. in this case to show Martin when he thinks he is only up a pawn that maybe he actually has much bigger advantage/disadvatange due active/burried pieces!

I watched this video in one "breath". I want to say it is not too long for me. Maybe the reason is that I am at the level near to Martin's. I am making similar mistakes, not seeing deeper etc. But that's why we are in the Dr. Can's clinic. To be healed! 😉

Great video - not too long because your analysis is both educational and entertaining. Your love of the game and genuine desire to help others improve their game is obvious. Kudos to Martin for sharing his game.

In my opinion, that rook can't be worth very much, maybe value of one pawn at best, as it literally stuck buried in that corner. So sad. Poor rook is crying 😢

One thing i never saw in this video til now is when he opens up with exchanges he gets the opponent creating pawn wall so nothing can get in to defend or escape. Tnis channel is gold

Fantastic video 🎉 really enjoyed 👏👏💯 so many times our blunders come from an emotive state, where we feel that everything is under control and we are holding a won position 🤔 then haste takes over and then boom we blunder😔i think however a process of retraining, ourselves from a different approach an perspective, to embrace the scientific approach,as the only way🤔

Hi

Thank you, all your video's are great !!

nice analysis. was this a blitz game? for me it is a bit sad that black didn't appreciate his knight pair. they were crazy dominating and worth a rook each. people should forget that simple economical thinking like: knight = 2,75 or 3 points. rook = 3. it takes away attention and makes you miss chances.

Thank you Martin. Thank you Dr. Can. So instructive! Appreciate it!

Congrats to Martin. Imho he is not considering alternative moves for each move, which isn't important by itself, but builds the habit of calculating the right line.

I just saw this series for the first time. I find it very educational and entertaining. I think it would be even better if you switched directly to the analysis board that you show in the last 10 minutes when the need for an explanation arises, even if that would certainly be a bit more complicated. Otherwise, thank you for this content. It was really fun to watch.

what elo did the player have?

where can i send a video 👉👈?

Very helpful lesson. Thanks!

Very nice 🎉

I like this format, because it shows some typical mistakes that amateur players make. You cannot get these kinds of lessons from GM games, because they don't do these mistakes.

I really like the length of the video, in longer Videos i am able to delve deeper into the position. 👍 i am learning a lot here

Oh this kind of analysis is really good and help my thinking process

Credit to Martin for sharing his game, I really like the fact he was willing to choose a game that not only showed his strength but also his weakness. Very interesting to watch and hear his thoughts especially for me as I'm now starting to face gambit style players. Enjoyed the anylasis and all the pointers along the way, great format which I personally find refreshing to see as its just a bit different but still has that instructional value

Great insight thank you. If you could please make a series from the learners perspective would be wonderful

1:59 instead of Qg6+ Bh3+ seems nice but doesnt work due to Bh3+ Kxh3 Qf3+ Kh4 Bf6+ Bg5 Qf4+ and theres no mate after Kh3 while Qxa8+ and Re1+ are looming.

Hey Dr Can! I'm a big fan of your coaching! Loving all the insightful videos and frequent uploads! My best wishes! ❤

This is great stuff. I'm sure that a lot of improvement happens through gaining experience and through gaining knowledge. But I also believe that subtle mindset shifts with large effects are possible through videos or courses such as yours. By the way, in English "seek" is a transitive verb, meaning pretty much the same as "look for" but no needing a "for" itself.

Ne7 looks appalling since i dont like the structure after Bxf6. However, g5 looks ever worse - in this example the sac seems to be working, since we got no bishop stopping f4. Both rooks and the queen can find avenues to our king, while our pieces are a bit awkward and i think we might suffer a lot on the dark squares. So Ne7 might be the necessary measure in a worse position. I dont see how our pressure on c3 is significant in any way yet, since it is a dynamic position the static weakness doesnt matter much at the moment.

12:18 the a-file started crying in despair 😢

I hope you make a course for 3200 to 3500.

I would love a longer video on Zugzwang breaking it down for us lower Elo players!

I’m waiting for my time machine. Then I can go back and learn these things at age 5, instead of age 55.

This is excellent advice. Simple to understand, but it takes practice to change one's previous bad habits! Homework. 1. Rxb2+ Kxb2 and black just loses the rook. 1. Qb6+ Rb5 and black Queen must move. 1. R e5 pins the rook in an absolute pin. if c4 then 2. R e3 will take white Queen. So this line is good. This seems the best. Yo could capture g2 with the rook but the rook pin looks the best.

Nice nice! I've still a hard time with the Zugzwang. But with these short examples I will get more wise :-D Thank you!

What Super GMs can see in 5 seconds, CMs can see in 15 minutes. That is mind boggling. What CMs can see in 15 minutes, I may be able to see in 15 years!

Um the king moved in to check black

Sir, facing difficulties in remembering chess opening and opening analysis

Hey! I just saw your video on how to sense the critical moment and what I understand is that imbalances of the position will guide me through the critical moment and also show me plan of action is that right. Pls tell whether I get it correctly. Also the imbalances from the opening dictates the middle game plans.

Fantastic video Dr. Can!
