That was a brilliant lesson, a really intelligent extension of your series on focusing on making good, sound moves. Fleshing out your thesis with particular emphasis on trades was really instructive. The bot played really well, I thought, but your logical moves won out. Really good game. Thanks!
@Pegasus-Chess, I'm getting great value from your series on "solid chess." I realize: the terms "solid chess" and "solid moves" are frequently thrown around in chess RUclips videos, but I've never seen these terms defined. I'd love to see you do a video on: What, exactly, is a "solid move"?; What's the opposite of a "solid move"?; and, What thought process can I use to find a "solid move" in any given position? Love your content. Please keep up the great work!
Wow, as someone who is 900 rated, that was huge. I just naturally think bishops are stronger than knights so I always trade when I could. Also, I had never considered the concept of keeping the middle closed or open. Learned so much, I just subbed to you...
I’ve improved a lot just by following your idea of playing simple moves that improve my pieces. If there is an option that involves calculating a lot of complex tactics I err on picking something simpler which is safe that I understand. Sometimes I’ve found I have a tactic by accident just from having more active pieces.
Great video. The double knight attack is great level chess, edging knowledge up from basics. Knights over bishops closed position, thus bishops better than knights open position, don't forget bishops of opposite colors is drawish. Great advice on when to trade or not. Well done
I am a fan of this channel but I need to say this was not a good video. Sorry. The subtle judgments are not well enough explained and alternatives are not well enough explored. This is like so much flawed chess teaching out there(Gotham, Andras Toth, Journey to Grandmaster, etc,, etc.) because it does not really lead to generalizable knowledge that an intermediate player can apply in his own games. Although it is tempting to nod along with the superficially reasonable storyline of Jonas' decisions, there were just too many missing pieces, too many questions swept under the rug or not convincingly answered here. Sorry.

I have a habit of valuing bishops above knights, so I'll have to bear this lesson in mind
I still value bishops over knights. Bishop pair in endgame is amazing
@@CS-en5xz Similar to "real estate". Location matters. Seems Positional to me. I've seen Queen sacs that win. That said, I feel the same as U.
Thank God you popped up on my algorithm!!!! Thanks for your content and teaching. Keep it up!!!!

Thanks, yes I am trying to now teach some extra ideas that fit perfectly into the solid moves framework.
@Pegasus-Chess Excellent idea. Very impressed.
This channel is so much better than many because it's more conceptual. I've had some revelations about the game watching these.
I'd love to see you play against some human players to see how this strategy works there. I enjoy your videos a lot, thank you!

very eye-opening video
At 54, I just started playing chess in November 2024. This video was EXTREMELY helpful! Love your videos!
Very good thanks

Can tell me which castling is better kings indian vs normal castling as shown in this video
which castling is better kings indian vs normal castling
Kings indian castle is better and safe as compare to normal castling because there is a extra bishop which defend the king
This channel is so good.
thanks
