I have a feeling that Master level players might also sometimes get stuck wondering what exactly to do next. Especially considering that each move arguably might compromise the position and what a piece was doing previously; what a piece does on a new square needs to be worth what is gained over compromised.
I just recently started teaching and I was trying to do my lessons with less words, to avoid confusing my students too much. This really summed up what i wanted to say! Thank you!
When playing as white, I use the kings Indian defense, and make it my goal to get my pieces off the back row and let my rookes see each other. When I do this, I rarely get into the position where I think "I'm stuck". I love kings Indian defense if any wants to check it out
actually he is not showing any game he was just explaining us the 3 things to consider when you're stuck remember he was neither showing a game nor showing a trap
Yea, but in that scenario Black can then Nxe5 and black is ahead and there is nothing for white to fall back too, besides bishop which at this point can only take a pawn. So it would be smart for black to go for a pawn trade
I prefer personally to continue with ng5 and transpose into the fried liver attack. its a pretty sharp line, and if they don't play their next move very carefully knight can fork their queen and rook.
an X ray in chess means that a strong piece like a queen is aligned with a rook or a queen but pawns or other pieces are in the way also this means that a piece defends a fellow piece through an opponent's pawn or a piece
I know i commented very late but this peice positions at 1:33 was exactly what happend the one playing the black was the smart one and the one playing the white wasnt really good but knew the positions but our club moderator had to tell the mistake they both made
1:47. If the Bishop on G5 were to take the knight on F6 it would be in danger from the pawn. I would rather Keep my Bishop rather than lose it even though the knight would be taken. The point of chess is to get your opponent in Checkmate by losing as little pieces as possible.Therefore it is an Illogical move to take the knight. What I would've done was Threaten the opponent's Bishop on C5.
I mainly go for step 2 but my issue is punishing their recapture. I don't like the sacrifice bigger pieces without threatening atleast a pawn capture on there recapture. Anyone got any tips? thanks in advance
The moves you play so that you reduce your opponents moves...in other words these are the moves you play so that your opponent is not able to play some other moves...these moves usually are played to avoid nasty tactics and give a more strategic aspect to the game...i do not know how else to describe it...(eg. let's say there is a Knight at f6 then a prophylactic move could be f3 so that the knight cannot come at e4 or g4 ) Hope it helped :)
Why would it be advantageous to take the knight with Bishop (f6) at 2:00 ?? Your bishop would just be taken and nothing is gained right?? Great videos BTW :)
He can't show you every possible outcome after the first 2-4 moves and what you can do with those moves so you have to learn to use what he taught you in any circumstance that you get yourself into.
If you get stuck in chess, buy the book by the top chess coach in America, who lays out how he trained himself from beginner to International Master (the only person in the world who did that) as an adult: www.amazon.com/Applying-Logic-Chess-Erik-Kislik/dp/1911465244
I normally like your videos. However, after seeing this one I think I would rather play a game of chess with you instead of watching. You made many mistakes in this one and I'm sure you would be a breeze to beat. But I will keep watching :)
Late and butting in comment, but whatever. Tho these are fairly good ways of finding out what to do next in Chess, they are the three choices to make after the single most important of the entire game: DEVELOPING YOUR PIECES. If you don't properly develop your pieces, you can actually have a capture or two and still be behind if you have less developed pieces. Developing a piece (Getting it into a more active position on the board from its starting position) Incurs a threat, almost always creating another attack or defense that your opponent must consider. It's why the queen isn't used often in early, higher level games. Running around with the queen on your turns opens you up to the vulnerability of having few usable pieces. Until you have actually developed your pieces, I would say flat out ignore this guy's advice. Even still, consider more development first. In passive, long term games, it's far more important to develop many new pieces rather than attempt to be crafty an elite few. Other things you could be doing are: Setting up traps, preventing back row checks, gaining stronger pawn positioning, odd piece movements to cause mind games, and so on. There are many things to consider in a game of Chess.
