    One of the big reasons you like your king on the opposite side of an attack is that you get to add pawns to your attack without degrading your king's defense structure.

    Hi Nelson, I remember reading Grau's books (an Argentinian master from XX century. Often considered the father of the competitive practise in this country) and in his book: "Tratado general de ajedrez" gives a method, a way of thinking of always asking "what category my opponent's move falls into?" Is a attack, a defensive move, a developing move or maybe it is a mistake. So when you stop and start thinking about it as a newbie or maybe even as a intermediate you grow stronger. In the last you made me remember that lesson.
    This series is highly informative and useful, thank you🎉

      But guess we all have different methods to get some structure in this.

    I've watched a video by GM Igor Smirnov which also explained why we should not push the h-pawn too early: in a lot of cases the f-pawn could be pinned by a bishop or a queen, so if h-pawn is pushed, we will lose control of the g3/g6 square and opens opportunity for the opponent to attack

    on game 1 instead of going back with the bishop on a7 you can take the pawn on a5, if they capture back with the rook, you take with the knight and if they give a check with the queen on a4 trying to win the knight back then you just jump back with the knight on c6, blocking th check and you have a rook and a pawn for a bishop

      I understand its a bit complicated.But here's the solution:
      As you said after Bxa5, Rxa5, Nxa5 and Qa4 as you pointed Nc6 back after Nc6 you can go d5 I belive and if b5 counter attacking the Queen You can take en passant And if you take the pawn back with the bishop you lose the Rook on a8.
      And in that position of you went Bd7 for example you just take the knight and I think it should be quite winning.
      And incase of Nxe4 you take the knight if bxc6 Qxc6 and it's a fork.
      There may be several mistakes in this I am not sure if there any It will be good to know.
      I am not that good at chess just an intermediate player and this wasn't easy as I should calculate without actually making any moves visually

    • @puzzician
      @puzzician 2 месяца назад

      g3 is a very temporary, actually false, solution. The Queen is now safe and frees the rook for other ideas besides maintaining the pin. So then ...Rh8! and there is no longer an escape through f2: this time, when White tries f3 to make space for the King, g3 move has allowed the black Queen to communicate, through the **empty** g2, with the f2 escape route!

    Glad you brought up Q-G3 on first game. I discarded the move because I saw white had Q-F3 defended by the knight. This basically forces blacks queen away with tempo or a trade. But I completely missed K-A1.
    On the second game, the move I was trying to explore with white was after he took the pawn with B-H3. Instead of retreating the dark square bishop I was trying to move the light square bishop to C3 check. King has to go to D1 and can’t move - didn’t see a mate but seemed better than retreating.

    One thing to consider when castling queen-side, is that your a-pawn is instantly weak as it has no king or rook to defend it, whereas if you castle king-side, your king now protects the h-pawn (if it hasn’t been moved yet.) 😊

    12:47 This doesn't violate my previous comment, because White doesn't want to put his knight on c3.
    13:59 Principle #3 from Game #1 was "These principles are great guideposts, but there are exceptions."
    16:54 "A knight on the rim is grim; a knight in the corner is a go(r)ner."

    14:20 Why not play Qe7 first? Bb6 was because you expect white to go d4 but, if he plays a passive d3 (or something else), have you not wasted a tempo? Qe7 and Bb6 if d4 gets you the same result, but gives more options if d3. At this level I struggle to distinguish good prophylaxis from hope chess. For example (relevant to the is pawn h3 good issue) I tend to play Colle Zukertorte, and there is always a question of when h3 is good (depending on other B moves) to prevent an annoying Nb4 attacking the B on d3 in this Colle set up. The only obvious "No" is when B has played Nd7 so Nb4 is not a threat.

    • @thomaswdyoung
      @thomaswdyoung 2 месяца назад

      This was my question too. It didn't end up costing black in the game because d4 happened, but it seems like it would've been better to develop instead, and keep Bb6 as a response to d4, rather than anticipating it.

      @@thomaswdyoungPerhaps he will comment next week - but I guess it is down to experience and recognising deeper strategic subteties. But it IS hard as a relative beginner. Another good example is when to push c4 (or c5 as black). I have lost count of the number of games where I push and the engine says 'bad move' but if I had done it on any of the previous 3 or 4 ( and somtimes then on several later moves) it would be have been excellent. I'm obviously missing something as in some cases I would clearly have a higher success rate if I tossed a coin rather than trying to work it out ...

    At 11:00, so why do we want to play Ne5?

    7:30 why the long castle is the best move? I'd throw a check with a queen on g3 and continue with a fork Kxf2+. Are hidden threats here?

      Even better: bishop takes f2, forces rook to take back, then Qg3+, and checkmate next move.
