Well done! 😀

Thank you.

Thank you.

Many thanks for watching and your insightful comment. I may have to look into that Gawain Jones book too. Im using Robert Ramirez’ Counterblow course on chessable and clicking through KID games in chessbase. I have a new video coming soon with a much different gameplay. I would love to see some of your games. Consider joining my discord - small chess community for improvers.

Not quite. Look again and see if you can find checkmate.

Not at all. It’s a beginning puzzle. Players new to chess need to learn too.

Indeed. That is correct. Some of the Polgar mates are like that.

Not quite. Try again.

Not quite. Check again.

Not sure what you mean here. Can you explain?

Very good.

@@highgroundchess thanks

That is the start of it indeed.

Well done!

Thank you for your suggestion. It is typically suggested that the player on the bottoms is usually the one to move. Not always but most times. This is fairly typical in many books and material online. Hope that helps.

1bro nobody said who's turn is it 2 you did not edit the comment 3 how tf is no one's turn

I am assuming you mean Qh7. You got it.

The queen is not able to move to g7. I assume you mean h7 so nice work.

For you but maybe not for everyone who might be starting out.

That is ONE reason. Certainly not THE reason.

That is correct.

You got it.

Well done.

Good question. Black is moving down.

Not quite. Ke1 and then?

Nailed it. Well done.

King can move to f7

Not quite. Kf7.

@hello23094 that’s correct if you play e8=Q

You nailed it. 🔥💪🏼

Well done. 🔥💪🏼

It’s a good starter puzzle. Some are easier. Some are harder.

There are no bishops on the board currently. I think you are referring to the two connected pawns on the board I believe.

You got it. Nice work. 💪🏼

Thanks for the kind words.

Boom! Nailed it.

Yeah I made a mistake. I didn’t bring the king back and then to f4 for the other variation for Qf2# so that’s my bad. Good catch.

Hidden in the corner.

Well done. 💪🏼🔥

Indeed it is.

Im happy you knew this one however not everyone has seen these, especially new players. I believe the video indicates who is being checkmated.

That would make life much more difficult but if you wanted practice with that of course. Haha.

Nailed it. 💪🏼🔥

Couldn’t figure that one out?

@@highgroundchess nah this was the hardest puzzle in all of chess I have even witnessed and attempted, my best guess was that pawn promotes to knight

Hahaha. 😂

You can thank Lazlo and Susan Polgar for such an interesting puzzle. 😉 hehe.

Indeed there are two solutions on this puzzle. Nice find. 💪

Have to beat them when they are young so when they grow up to become IMs and GMs you can say you beat so and so. Haha.

Thanks for watching. I’m not sure if I’ll stick with the Evans Gambit or not but trying it one for size. I have another wing gambit game that had amazing initiative.

@@highgroundchess I found it much easier to keep the initiative with the center game gambit, but it was not sound enough when opponents can prepare against you. I’m not really enjoying the Evans that much for now but will stick with it until I get it.

Great to hear. I think any opening is viable if you know it well. At the class level most games are decided in the middle game so it matters little what opening you play. So I always say play what you enjoy the most.

I have to agree. The move in the position at least in LichessDB was e5. Not sure if it’s best but it seemed to have worked. Kid played well. I think I’ll be changing from 1.e4 to 1.Nf3 mainly for flexibility and go for a more hyper modern approach. delay e4 as to have less to prepare against.

@@highgroundchess you are right - the young player did well. There's a certain amount of pressure playing against unrated players because you have no idea what to expect. A lot of kids are hyper aggressive though, favoring forcing moves, and often meeting an attack with a counter attack of their own, etc. They play quickly so even though tactically sharp, they sometimes aren't patient enough to think everything through fully. I have sometimes been able to beat kids by baiting them into making a move that looks promising but doesn't quite work. They definitely keep you on your toes though. Hearing your account of over the board games makes we want to get back to the club.

@isayoldchap1 you should get back into it. Thanks for your comments. Yeah he is a promising player. Rated 800 or so but he will be a force if he sticks with it. I am sure I will face him again. I look forward to it.

You are most welcome. 💪❤
