You suck for this bro. A) Didn’t even hide their names B) Idea stolen from Gotham C) you were once this level but now you’re ok to laugh at it once you’ve improved Poor form and lame vid. This channel won’t blow up
They were just after each others pieces, not the checkmate... beginners often think like that and these 2 obviously found each other... thanks for the entertainment! :)
This is what it felt like when I first started watching your channel. Cornered chess was masochist chess with all the screen screams. Glad you're much better now Nigel
I'm glad you're improving, but i sort of miss you being 500 ELO. Being extremely confident while blundering mate in 1 was quite the hoot. Still loving the channel, just make sure you never delete the journey!
I just watched a video about this trap where you fork the queen and the knight with the pawn and when the queen recaptures, you loose your knight because you can no longer pin the king ans the queen cause your rook is undefended.
Quickly becoming my favorite chess streamer. Being a 1500 rated player I feel this is content that is closer to home compared to the big dogs like Danya and Hikaru. Your commentary is fantastic. Keep it coming
I’ve been watching for a while now and your gotten so much better. From the confidence to your calculations. At this point you’re gonna be 1500 pretty soon! Keep the the great videos!
They just haven't learned the lines against the Scotch.. It's a very dangerous opening for black - make one mistake and white is just all over you wtih so many avenues to attack. Lots of 1300s won't know some fairly basic openings
28:57 you really were correct that it is really close to a mating net. Since the white king can to to the entire black diagonal consisting of f4, e3, d2, you had to put the bishop on that diagonal and the only real option here is bc1. Also, your rook on e8 needs to keep protecting that e4 pawn which you later blundered by moving the rook. And your other rook needs to block that last remaining square, d4 for the king. So, rc4 now is very threatening since bc1 would be mate without the rook, and even so, they need to give up the rook for the bishop.
On the second game if they had have continued and saved their Bishop you could have played Bxf3 winning the Knight because moving both Bishops would be a discovered check from the e8 Rook.
