    At 39:17, after h4, I thought of hxg4, hxg3, Rxh8+, Ke7, Rxa8, which is two rooks and a bishop for a queen, so I was very proud of it and was wondering why Gotham didn't mention it. So, I went to the analysis board, and the engine played Qg1+, after which you either lose the other rook or you have to sacrifice both bishops to survive.

      read how to reasses your chess. i covers opposite color bishops in that. for example if you have 2 bishops and 2 pawns up and the opponent has knight and bishop, trade your bishop for the knight that is the opposite color of the other bishop ur opponent has so u dont go into opposite coloured bishop endgames

      @crysta11ikzxc 3 года назад

      Put your pawns on opposite color of opponent's bishop and once his bishop stops covering the square in front of your pawn push it and if it is attacked push it again. This is main rule. In game it would be easier to understand

    39:17 After h4, could white play hxg4, sacrificing the queen followed by Rxh8+, Ke7/Kg7, Rxa8? Bishop and two rooks for the queen. Black has Qf2+ protected by the g3 pawn, but this doesn't seem deadly after Kd1. Idk, just a 1000 trying to outsmart an IM lol
