    Genuinely impressed by that Knight trap into Queen attack tactic in your first game after puzzles. Good job!
    EDIT: sure the computer doesn't love it but it was good calculation and you gave yourself more practical chances with a queen on the board in my opinion.
    EDIT2: And honestly that second game was great. Awesome episode, NL!

    The reason H5 was evaluated the way it was is because they messed up moving their knight. Your move wasn't winning their queen by force, they lost their queen because they didn't sack their knight. It is still definitely an amazing move against a human because they're definitely going to try and save the knight

    It’s a forced mate no matter what. If king moves, queen delivers check then checkmate.

  • @Dylan54Productions
    @Dylan54Productions 2 года назад

    If anyone's curious about what was going on with the analysis regarding the Queen trap, it didn't think it was that spectacular because they expected white to play knight takes f3. Pawn taking doubles up the pawn structure for absolutely no reason. I sort of wish the review looked more at opponent mistakes instead of jetting past them, haha.
    I -think- the reason the engine called rook takes Queen brilliant is perhaps because they saw it as capitalising on that mistake AND it was the 'only good move' which is sort of obvious to a human.
    And yeah, they don't consider their queen to be worth a rook and a knight, which makes sense since it was a proactive knight and a rook on an open file, while their queen wasn't doing much, so despite technically being a 1 point difference it didn't care that much.
    The move they liked was trading the b6 knight for the d4 bishop is a positional trade up, particularly because the Queen then has to take the bishop's spot where it isn't doing much. The line shows getting the black queen much more involved on the diagonal with the knights which is also a lot more beneficial.
    btw, I'm not even officially elo rated, so take this with a grain of salt

    At the end of that second puzzle (at 2:05), couldn't black move their queen or knight to F6 stop the mate in one? It would block your rook from getting involved, so no matter what you did the king would have either F8 or F7 to escape to (F8 escapes if you check with the knight, F7 escapes if you check with the queen).
