    This is definitely high level. I would never have thought of exchanging a ROOK for a weaker piece. AND I would never have thought of letting pieces hang in favour of setting up other moves. You really need to be able to think well ahead to be confident enough to allow pieces to hang.

    It’s so very instructive to hear the reasoning behind Kasparov’s moves. I did not see the rook sacrifice until it was put in the context of positional chess, protecting the knight on D5

    After Black's move Ra2 at 6:08, Kasparov had Nbd7, winning the Rook on f8, he castled instead.

      From memory the queen can move and create a counter attack on white king and then you save room and it’s not as good

    How do we determine if a square is key?

    • @epicchess2021
      @epicchess2021  Год назад +8

      no hard rule tbf, often central squares and outposts are though, as a rule of thumb (probably google 'chess outpost' in case you don't know what I mean by that). thanks for watching!

    2:35 why didnt black take the Knight on d5 with bischop?
    Wouldnt it be good to trade a well placed Knight for a badly placed bischop?

    • @Midnight890
      @Midnight890 Год назад +2

      I’m not a very high elo player so take this with a grain of salt. I’m only 1430 but in my opinion I think he didn’t take with the Bishop because it’s a fianchetto bishop so it is stronger than the other bishop, you lose your bishop pair, and you create a weakness in the light squares and you will be punished instantly by the pawn recapture controlling the light square

    • @epicchess2021
      @epicchess2021  Год назад +1

      After the queen recaptures the rook would be attacked on a8 plus there's then a threat to play axb4 and open the white a rook to add more pressure. So yeah like said in comments probably not a good idea t give that bishop at this stage even though it's a strong knight. Thanks for watching!

    • @epicchess2021

    A simpler way to think about that rook exchange, he can take the bishop and then immediately immobilize the knight, kinda like getting 2 pieces for one.

  • @perkalov
    @perkalov Год назад

    The main problem isn't "chucking peices on a square", the problem is to identify important squares.
    d5 is a knows square to fight for control in a multitude of variations of The Sicilian. I'll know it when I see it, but spotting the less obvious or those I don't have previous knowleage of... That is the tricky part.

  • @arvinjuntereal1004
    @arvinjuntereal1004 Год назад

    Nice analysis of the game. I think that it would have been better for Black if he tried to contest the d5 knight early on after White’s c3 by playing Be6 or Ne7, eliminating the active knight before the other knight on a3 can support it. The game would have gone differently but I believe Black would be much better than in the actual game.

    • @gm2407
      @gm2407 11 месяцев назад +2

      Positional chess is about where your horizon is for the advantage. Tactics are for now. If I play a move that gives the other side a difficulty they have to consider for the next thirty moves as I bring my pieces around the king whilst they have to struggle to dislodge whatever bind has been inflicted on them, then that makes the game easier for me as I know my plan. If I play a sharp tactical line which takes 6 moves to resolve where it will be a slight advantage if best moves are played or calamity for both sides if one makes an error then the game is harder. It helps to have both abilities as stringing tactics together is a lot easier with positional understanding.
      In this instance black spent 24 moves distroying his co-ordination trying to dislodge the knight from the outpost and white was able to create other weakneases in king safety and a passed pawn during this game. Finally in the resignation position white would be able to take the g pawn and have a passed h pawn. Black allowed occupation of an outpost they had no defense for. Note even if the light squared bishop took on d5 then exd5 creates another outpost on c6. It can also be locked in by playing c4. So one thing you can take away from this is that the pawn structure is very dangerous for black even though it contests the centre. So if you play the Sicilian with this centre as black your minor pieces are super important for guarding the light square weaknesses.
      Note, am 1200 Elo player trying to improve positional understanding.

    So, can it be said that the moral of the story is, 'a knight on a central outpost which is in the opponent's territory which can't be attacked by other minor pieces is worth a rook. So, we should sack our rook and trade our minor pieces to make sure the knight reaches the square.
