    @Leshembenda 4 года назад +3

    Is the second position really a "sacrifice" tho? I mean it looks like black was going to lose queen anyway, as the only move besides taking Knight with the queen is King E8 and then white has Knight F6 forking king and queen.

  • @shawnpeterson1825
    @shawnpeterson1825 3 года назад +3

    It’s definitely more difficult to put your opponent in checkmate without your Queen, but in these situations it seems he had great positioning and the Queen sacrifice worked in his favor to make other pieces have a better opening and protection with each piece. Very nice! 👏🏻 Actually almost fooling the opponents, because everyone is always so eager to take the Queen when exposed and lose sight of how it might weaken their structure.

    At 2:06 can’t white go rook takes knight on e5. That would hinder the attack and black can’t take back because of a back rank mate with white playing rook b8

      No becuase after rook takes you have Bishop C8 check and after king moves you can take rook as bishop defends the mate

    At 7:02 wouldn’t it make sense for white to move Queen F2? Covering bishop G2 and also queen F3?
