    Great game, excellent commentary. Thanks Jerry. I appreciate how you pointed out all the little details -- these are definitely things I'll have to keep in mind for my own future games. The details (making your opponent waste a tempo, getting the rook back to cut off the king, IDing good knight squares) were excellently pointed out!

    Rewatching this because I liked it so much the first time. I really love this game, a super instructive game that I would miss the reasons for a lot of the moves - but knowing them makes me excited to play and think much deeper about restricting the other player rather than material advantage.
    Thank you Jerry for being an incredible teacher!

    Really appreciate the clarity of your commentaries, Jerry. For us not-so-strong players you concisely explain the reasoning behind each move, allowing us to learn valuable lessons. Too many commentators rush through complicated games too quickly for the relative strengths and weaknesses of each position to be recognised, thereby failing to be properly instructive.

    7:12 couldn’t you move the white queen to e8? If rook takes than rxe8+ and the np qf8 blocking. Then you can take the queen and after king recaptures, then you move rd8+. Checking the king and attacking the knight in the same move.

    Wow. Such an amazing and instructive analysis. This channel features the best instructional videos. Deep, accurate, to the point analysis, without the frequent but ultimately boring and stalling humorous chit-chat so many teachers seem to resort to.
    I see now that most of my positional thinking in chess is largely correct but my mind is too compartmentalized. I just tend to focus on what I consider "star" pieces, i.e. the ones that are directly involved in whatever is at stake and overlook other pieces that may have an impact if activated - not because I don't know they can be moved, but in the midst of the chaos and analysis, unwittingly and unwillingly, I just deem then irrelevant. This flaw of mine goes very far unfortunatly and it makes me blunder a lot of times. I just fail to look at the chessboard as a whole.

    At 10:00, instead of making a king move, why not Rb7? No matter what move black makes, white chases down that pawn structure and begins setting up passed pawns on the opposite side from black's king. Why is this not a viable line of play? Am I missing something here?

Being a tactical player myself I felt like I needed a more positional approach to the game and then I found Botvinnik...ge just makes it look so simple.

    • @gsp_admirador
      @gsp_admirador 6 лет назад +9

      Nxf4 Rxf4
      Rxd7 Rxd4
      The material is equal but now black rook is more active than before...
      And the previous tactic you were talking about was different... That was when knight was on f3 square instead of d3... And black rook on g7 instead of f7
      That was
      Nxg5 Rxg5
      Rxd7 ...
      And there is no Rxd4 possible here... So white retains his material advantage

    I feel like the only way black could survive is if in response to the knight move in turn 20 they move the rook in G8 to C8 and then turn 21 King to F8. But maybe I’m just bad lol
