    6 years ago i watched this video (and the rest of the series) for the first time, and was amazed by how much it taught me. i immediately improved by a huge amount. since then, i have been playing chess almost every day, either online or over the board, and have read many books about the game. i still find it as beautiful and fascinating as when i first watched this video. today i'm rewatching it because i'm running a chess club at a high school, and remembered how educational this series was. i was also surprised to find out the guy narrating is actually international master danny rensch, who i've come to know as a pretty hilarious chess personality. thanks danny for the super instructive chess lessons that propelled me deep into the world of chess.

    Thanks for this video i have been winning the last 2 game, no more stupid mistake at early game.
    One thing i learn is, horsies is better than bishop esp in early game.
    Mid game is where bishop shine(when there is less pawn on center board)
    In late game i would trade bishop for
    Horsie, if i only have one pair.
    If i have two bishop/ or one bishop one queen ,i would probably avoid trading it with horse.

      My Names Tommy The computer doesn't use the 1 move rule. As he said you have to look at your opponent threats and play according to the game running down. It is more about how you react to the game on hands more than what you have learned. If the AI uses a piece twice then he is giving you easy openings that you should use.

Watching your video it occurred to me that every game starts with 'the control for the middle', but every variation is known by most beginners, and ends up 'tied' Has there never been some 'óut of the box' thinkers that came up with some unorthodox openings ?

      @KARTIKEYA007 6 років тому +1

      Bg5 is not a bad move.. pawn to h6 can be met by just dropping the bishop to h4.. sure white moved the bishop twice but black also wasted time playing pawn to h6 so there is no loss of momentum from the white end.. now if black could have developed a piece AND attack the bishop forcing it away then u could argue that Bg5 was a bad move as black got to develop a piece while forcing the white bishop away..
      Also h6 is not a good move as white can take the knight at f6 with his bishop and black is forced to take with the g pawn which will damage his kingside pawn structure... the reason why black cant take with the queen is because then white would be able to take on the square d5 twice(with the pawn and then with the knight on c3) therefore white would be up a pawn in that line

    I have encountered the move you did at 7:20 a ton of times vs a computer, but many times instead of moving its knight or defending it with the bishop (if possible), it attacks my bishop with a pawn. I think the best move is to trade bishop and knight right? Because moving it back is a wasted move and doing nothing will make me lose my bishop. But I feel if I trade (which again seems the best move) I kind of lost an opportunity. I was trying to put pressure on him, but it ended in a 'tie' because we both lost a minor piece, but this means I 'lost' the attack in some way. Is there any reason why you don't show us this possibility? Is attacking the bishop with a pawn a bad move for some reason I cannot see?

    • @devoncollins9924
      @devoncollins9924 7 років тому +1

      Secret5964
      You'll most likely be attacked by their edge pawn in that instance which allows your edge pawn to advance their rook since it's be pressured under *your* rook. this allows more freedom of movement. just don't lose your head and find more ways to defend or make better attacks out of sacrifices.

    • @davidlegare5021
      @davidlegare5021 7 років тому +2

      It works out in your favor actually. h6 to attack the bishop, then Bh4, assuming black keeps on the attack with g5, retreat with Bg3. Now black has made his king side vulnerable. Furthermore black then decides to castle king side the king will be more vulnerable to attacks.

      +Rew Rose My guess would be that a great deal of the concepts introduced are done so with no explanation. A lot of jargon is dropped, with no definition. I headed to the comments to see if anyone had asked why 'connecting your rooks' is a good thing. It's obvious the video creator understands that this is important, but he doesn't explain why and it's not obvious, at least to me, and I am squarely in the exact audience he claimed this video was for. He claims the video is for people who know how the pieces move, and their relative values, and that's it. But a lot more is actually required to comprehend the video fully.
