Hi Philip. Great content, thank you. I like the fact your lessons are just that touch deeper than most and appear to target the 1700-1900 level. Lower than that and the market is saturated, higher than that and it becomes so deep my nose bleeds. I just wanted to say you are very much appreciated and please keep up the good work. The theme of infiltration hit home for me and followed up on Stean’s classic book, simple chess.
Hope you all learn something new from this vid! What do you all want to see in the next one?! 😀😀😀(most Liked comment will be the topic of the next vid 🤫)
Honestly, how to defend a central isolated pawn when going into an endgame with just a Rook. I know I have to get behind it, but quite often I've already pushed them up there and it feels like I'm coaxing a goat that can't move.
How about white has a rook plus knight while black has 2 rooks.. Ive encountered this position in many games and in an open board , knight can create problems.. Pawns lets say white has a slight positional advantage
Haha nice one, it neeeeearly works, Black in this case has a sneaky defense - Qb7 Rxb7, axb7 Qb6! 😃 definitely in another similar position, Qb7 is a killer
@@chess_explained_ It was only once I got to where you said it that I realised it's a no-go. Really nice explanation though. Had to do an Edit during. Love the vids mate.
Welcome back, mate. Im a fellow kiwi and love your vids. Thanks for what you're doing here with the channel!
