Close game, man! That knight pin was really unfortunate. I have no doubt that you will come back tomorrow with the biggest win in the history of chess! Keep up the good work
That was a really useful one to watch, cheers Blunderman. Couple of questions, that checkmate trap with the rook amd knight, is it worth trying it every time? If he castles you seem to lose position advantage. Also, whats the difference in the kings indian and the pirc defence?
I think it's still good for white after the castle, but I'm going to start playing a slightly different line against pirc setups. I think it's better to not play hope chess and hope that they fall into a trap, I'd rather learn some solid lines that work every time. The kings Indian and pirc are exactly the same setup for black, the difference is White's moves. I believe the Kings Indian is only when white plays c4 to start, but I never play c4, so I'm almost always playing against a pirc, but yes, same moves for black
Hi, I just started following your content and just wanted to say how much I enjoy it. I like the way you explain your thought processes. I wish I could calculate like you. I'm trying to place your accent, where are you from?
Ah welcome to the channel brother! Great to meet new people! I'm glad the algorithm is bringing in new chess enthusiasts haha! I was born in England, grew up in Northern Ireland, went to high school in the States for a while, lived in South Korea with a bunch of South African friends for 5 years and so yeah... my accent is the biggest mush up between all of those that can possibly happen... Not really sure which it's closest, but maybe that explains it haha
@@Blunder_Man Yes the algorithms are working their magic after Ben Hunt went quiet. I definitely picked up the Irish twang, and now I get the rest. Good luck, and keep going!
Have you checked out the Austrian Attack against the Pirc.? It’s an aggressive way to play preparing for kingside attack which considering you play the Dutch with black might appeal.
