    Good game! I've never made it into the endgame in the Ruy Exchange, so I never knew that exchanging queens gave such an advantage here. Very instructive.

    At 15:20 my choice would probably have been Na4. Forcing his b pawns to free the c5 square for my knight. After kd4, organizing space and a passer, i guess the ending makes more fun to play for white. :-P

    That was great! Thanks Eric. How were you able to calculate that the queenside pawn structures were locked down so easily? I'd have stared at that for an hour and still been none the wiser!
    Hmm, I guess I see you calculate at 20:40, but I still don't know if I'd see that.

    • @eric-rosen
      @eric-rosen  6 лет назад +23

      It wasn't actually a matter of calculating. It was more just a matter of knowing that the crippled 4-pawn majority can't forcingly create a passer against the 3-pawn minority. It helps to play out a bunch of scenarios and see for yourself.

      Actually, that person's rating is "unknown"--that's why there's a question-mark next to it. It's a provisional rating.
      Considering that Black managed to stay close to equality for a long time, and didn't commit any gross blunders, my guess is he's quite a bit stronger than 1675.

      Sorry if it came across that way... I guess it's just an innate reaction to premove any obvious re-capture.
