    14:54 - similar positions often arise from the Bogo-Indian defense as well. In most lines the idea is exchanging the dark squared bishops and putting the pawns on d6 and e5 and always playing with the pawns on dark squares while the light are controlled by the bishop.

    9:01 in this position, White can go Ng5, attacking Black's Bishop, and at the same time guarding h3, stopping them from getting anything with the battery. Anytime you want to do that maneuver, if there is a Knight that can attack your Bishop while at the same time guarding the infiltration square, you probably should play a pawn move to guard that, so they can't stop you.

    Thank you so much for another great lesson! I'd like to ask if you could make a video on how to identify or sense a critical moment during the game that requires long lines calculation, usually puzzles put you in that situation but you know that is a decisive moment whereas I find it more difficult to understand when that moment is coming during a real game

    @mikekeenan8450 2 роки тому +3

    An old chess book my dad had called "Chess for the Beginner" (I think it may have been written by Frank Marshall, actually) gave a bunch of pieces of opening advice, one of which was that you should "never" pin your opponent's king knight before they have castled, especially if you have already castled on the kingside. While "never" is too dogmatic (see for example the QGD Orthodox Defence variation in the video) it makes some sense. At least, if your opponent _has_ castled kingside and you haven't, pinning their king knight can be quite effective.

    Another great video. Nelson just goes from strength to strength. Well done again. You never fail to deliver good content. I can’t think of one video that was not helpful or not worth watching.
    Also Nelson if you can is it possible to do something on square theory . I read somewhere that as players get to 1800 + they think more in terms of key squares rather than pieces / material. Would it be possible to explain this in your unique . I get confused for example when comments such as a certain square eg d5 is the key square in this position and the fight for x square is vital for an advantage. Can you explain this please. 🙏🏼 thanks

    • @aqaridot
      @aqaridot 2 роки тому

      i think its simply ignoring what piece is there, and instead thinking what pieces can go there, so like 1. e4 takes control of d5 and c5 cuz it can go there, and you protect the e4 square which the pawn is on with other pieces, simply ignore pieces and think of squares lol

    at 21:19 can you just advance the pawn to h6? the enemy king will stay trapped and you threat a promotion while the rook protects all in D.

    • @jeanclydec.egmilan2531
      @jeanclydec.egmilan2531 2 роки тому

      That would be a bad move because the enemy King can just move to h7 and use that pawn as a shield against the rook which could stop the checkmate.

    I've won many games where I pin the knight with the bishop, then when it gets kicked around by the pawns I put it behind the queen to make a battery. At my level most people don't see it especially in bullet.

    Something I really enjoyed about your knights tips video, was that with each step, in the bottom right hand corner of your video, there was the tactic/idea/way, which I think is a better formatting choice than just having 'ways to use this piece' for the whole video, as well as making it clear what the watcher is to focus on in each segment, hope you take this constructively. I'm a big fan of your channel, and have watched and rewatched several of your videos as drills in of themselves to drive home key principles!
