      I disagree slightly. He gives kids 2 minutes to solve a puzzle, but then resolves it after barely one minute because one kid already found it. And at 19:27 he does not resolve the puzzle since the queen does not have to take on f8. He should do fewer puzzles, but do them properly.

Plus, the teacher dude literally looks just how you would imagine Kasparov would have looked today.

    about the last puzzle,what if u put rook c8 then he takes it and u take with bishop then put rook a8 and its inevitable checkmate with bishop f5 unless he puts rook a6 and then u take his rook then u have 2 rooks advantage which i think is better than the other alternatives cause in the first occasion he might just eat ur bishop with knight and then u can take his rook but only have 1 rook advantage.

    • @Crateron1
      @Crateron1 7 лет назад

      +Daniel the Seventh after the white bishop captures on c8, and before white can move his rook to a8, black moves his rook to c6 giving check and attacking the bishop, so on the next move he will capture it. If white tries to attack the knight with his king (by moving him to d4), then before taking the bishop, the black knight moves to safety by taking the pawn on f3 with check, and again black is about to take the bishop, and if white keeps attacking the knight by moving his king to e4, the knight goes to g5, giving check and moving to a square guraded by the pawn on h6, and now the capture of the bishop is inevitable, leaving white down a piece.

  • @ianallen738
    @ianallen738 7 лет назад +2

    At 7:12, after black plays h3, why would you not play Bxh6? This looks devestating for black, if they recapture with the g pawn then Bxg6 is crushing, if they leave the bishop you can take the pawn instead on g7, I cant see a good move they might have played in the interim other than maybe Ne4, which looks like a desperate attempt to block the queens diagonal and lock the bishop in (which you are saccing anyhow) which can be later countered with Ng3. You are down a bishop but black has absolutely no king safety and there are serious threats of checkmate, or at a minimum a bad trade off for white in order to not lose. Or am I missing something critical? EDIT: Stockfish def. favors Bxf6. And I see it now. White loses its supporting pieces for the attack, its rooks are poorly developed, and black has a rook, a queen, a knight, and a bishop pair now able to go on a major offensive. White comes out behind in the end game with an inferior pawn structure and never makes up the lost bishop. Not so hot after all.
