      When coach Andras said sandwich, I immediately seen the Rc3 move and understood the value of that cross pin. But I made the same mistake you did on assuming that Ra1 would automatically mean rook takes and we have checkmate. So I 100% agree with this comment on evaluating threats. That one thing alone is such an eye opening way of thinking about threats or in this case how Ra1 is a non-threat. Great lesson for sure.

    Just wanted to say this:
    When I first heard you on perpetual chess I wasn’t a fan. I believe in the interview you implied at times you questioned if it was worth the effort to make UA-cam videos given the lack of views/engagement. -paraphrasing from months back.
    I’ve come around to getting it, and now you are one of my favorite interviews and I love your content. If you ever find yourself getting discouraged about not getting more recognition (recognition you rightly deserve), keep on forging ahead. For what it’s worth, I’m confident that at some point more people will catch on-as I did-and at some point you’ll blow up.
    Great stuff man. Appreciate it.

      @@ChessCoachAndras I think if you continue to put out the content that you do, at the quality that you do, there will come a turning point. Someday GothamChess will make mention of you in passing (or some other fortuitous turn), which being curious eyeballs, and those that are striving to get better, and those that want more than chessertainment will find a backlog of exceptional and informative videos and become loyal fans and supporters. Your enthusiasm for chess and for others and their improvement is genuine and authentic and comes across.
      I guess maybe “be recognized and appreciated and utilized in larger scale” may have been more appropriate than “blow up.” But you are very deserving and capable of becoming one of the go-to sources for folks serious about improving. (None of that is to imply you are entertaining while you do it.)

    Those were all great puzzles! Really instructive lessons with those pins, and working to visualise the entire sequence from the starting position was a lot of fun.
    Proud to say I found Qg4 in that last one before you gave any hints, though I did miss Kf7 as a defence (although it doesn't work), still my tactics are still rather sloppy it seems, but videos such as these are sure to help with that!

    Hi Andras, I watched the entire lesson from beginning to end. You are a really good trainer, esp. the hints and recommendations about self-confidence, etc. I like very much. The selected positions were very good, and also your way to guide somebody through them, give some hints, but also challenge them, are exactly the right mix. Btw. I just ordered the mentioned book you wrote together wich Judit Polgar. rookieredhead is in my point of view very talented, I don't know her rating, but I am sure she will easily make it to ELO 1800 and above. I am now playing chess for more than 30 years, never had a coach, but now I am really thinking about hiring one ;-)

    The context of that threat explanation is everything. But it works great!
    Edit: Your comment on club level players, the key is that they do not properly look for threat candidates, and then consider threat level.
    Doesn't matter if we are losing a queen if the alternative is a threat of mate!

    At 23:52 I'm pausing and giving my solution - posting in comments to keep myself honest. I really want to play E6 because fxe6 hangs the bishop on g4, Qxe6 loses a queen. So Bxe6 has to be the move. Then Bh6 would be followed by Bf6 and I don't see any more serious threats for white. However, if we invert the order and begin with Bh6, now we are pinning the bishop on g4. So e6 is a renewed threat. Something like Bh6, gxh6, e6, fxe6, Qxg4+, Kh8, Bxf6 (dissalowing Rg8) looks really strong for white, but I'm not totally sure I've found the best defense here.
