      *Kurdman Pouyesh,* that is also starting to be the case for me. *No reverse Rashid,* really does make games interesting.
      When i'm in a mood for defense, I try to go Tigran Petrosian defensive style but not often.

    In the book "The Absolute Correspondence Championship of the United States Chess Federation 1976-2010" Robert Forbis is mentioned. It says he was born in 1958 and has played in some correspondence chess events including being part of the winning team in the 1992 Division I USCF Correspondence Chess Team Championship.

    @2:18 In Tal's games, 'the queen has to move' is a premature assumption, it should be backed by concrete calculations showing why a queen sacrifice makes no sense in the position :) (Just kidding, it indeed makes no sense here. But I did consider Bxf7+ briefly when you said that there's no way to save the bishop from the exchange on b3 :))

    question: in minute 5:16 if u push the E pawn to e5 u win the knight? cause the queen its unprotected. Or white have a move to refute this? its difficult to think that with two strong players in the board but i don't see how refutes that. (i don't speak good english so sorry if i made write mistakes)

    @9:50 instead of rook f3 what will happen if white plays pawn to f6, I think this defense won't work

    • @quickspinner210
      @quickspinner210 6 лет назад +1

      Won't work. After snatching white's Knight, if white pawn marches to f6, then black Q can simply snatch white's g2 pawn and protect the g file. Attack is over. White will then certainly lose due to being down tons of material.

  • @harikrishnan1427

  • @gibyjoseph5617
    @gibyjoseph5617 4 года назад

    In last part (time 9:50), instead of Rf3, white could play Qg5+ followed by f6 and Qg7+ or if black plays Rg8, then Q X h5+ / Qh6+ is a mate. Right?

    @johndarkhorse396 6 лет назад

    At 6:33 after the white queen takes the black knight, I was looking at black moving the h pawn right away, but then I noticed if he does that white can take the g2 pawn (also attacking the rook) and guard against the mate so Qg5+ is a great move that prevents white from doing that.
