Losing castling rights is not that big of a deal. Maybe instead of going into that line and taking on e5, Bb5 was interesting, developing, putting pressure and getting ready to castle. But taking is also fine. It's more important what you do after. Giving up the bishop pair so easy looks wrong to me. With your center pawn on the light square, you probably would want to exchange the light square bishops and try to hold on to the dark bishop. Your dsb is the better piece. Anyway, keep going! The four knight scotch is an amazing opening in my opinion, don't change too soon! The fundamentals and endgame skills you develop with this opening are worth gold in the long term
Hmm the way you explain it makes a lot of sense, I'll try to keep these concepts in mind for the future! I don't plan on giving up on the four knight Scotch, it's still my primary weapon for classical chess - but I do think it can't hurt to expand my opening repertoire :)
Very clean game ! Pawn endgames are very tricky ! I usually also rely on intuition by laziness, but in pawn endgames you should really calculate when you have time. I would like it please if you keep the engine lines with evals on the screen when analysing so I can see the move number and all ! I like h5 when you missed the win, I did not calculate tho, but you are threatening to win the pawn on g6, his king is cut off and if he takes anyway it still looks winning. I would not touch the queenside pawns here as nothing is happening there anytime soon, and you are pressing towards the king side to maybe win a pawn. And yes next move trading on b5 makes sense. Then b4 paralyses him. And then you still have a3 as a possible waiting move so you are always winning opposition and surely at least a pawn (after b4 he already has to make a move, already kind of zugzwang for him) 1 pawn can control 2 pawns like that, when your pawn is in front of one of his. And he has another pawn in diagonal backwards (here white pawn on b4, black on b5 and c6 for exemple). None of his pawns can move because of your b4 pawn, very uselful pattern to know! Let's keep that no lose streak going !!!
That's my mistake, I totally forgot to put the engine lines and eval bar on display during the analysis portion! Will fix that for future videos, I appreciate the heads up - and thanks as always for your feedback on my gameplay, it continues to be very insightful :)
@@FarzyPlaysChess No worries it happens ! Just saying I appreciate when it's there and it's better for me to do feedback ! Not sure my feedbacks are the most helpful here, endgames are for sure my weak point ! I'll try to learn endgames now, I think that's the most useful thing I can improve on right now.
@@zaynghaboos4035 I know a few lines in both because I've had to prep against them, I think I'll give the Scotch Gambit a try in my next game - thanks for the advice!
