Finding the Best Bishop Routes in Chess: Positional Mastery
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Positional chess isn't always viewed as fun as tactical chess, but tactics stem from good positional play. Anticipating your opponent's ideas can often lead to a winning position sooner rather than later.
Here is a five-puzzle problem set putting bishop mastery and regrouping on full display. When you think of a chess magician, a knight most likely comes to mind. In this video however, we make an argument for the bishop to be able to do such things as well.
Enjoy, and good luck.

16 min video is actually crazy, very nice development. loved it. And loved the fit man your fits killing me every time
Appreciate you, todays video will surprise you even more then!
Your channel is all of a sudden my absolute favorite chess channel. I'll tell you why: You have your own style, and you don't seem to be trying to make your content palatable to the audience with unnecessary puns or clowning. You have your own witty sense of humor which comes out naturally - so it is highly entertaining to watch too. But you really can tell you love chess and thinking about chess - these detailed explanations are really among the best stuff I have ever seen. Great job and thank you for putting the time and effort into creating this content!
What an amazing comment dude, thank you so much for real 🙏
Now, I'm going to REWATCH this and pause each one and see if I can even remember the tips you gave. I think repetition is what I haven't done at all. I haven't tried to learn a trick or tactic and then do it like 10 times in a row. I guess cuz I'm not signed up on any chess site where I can set up the board and replay a position. I suppose there's free chess engines you can even just download that'll do that.
Ahh so this answered my prior question, why no chesscom or lichess? At least a puzzle app is surely needed to get onboarded
Koblencs was Tal's trainer and co-author along with Tal of "Study chess with Tal".
Ahhh soo this would make sense as to why they were doing positional chess training, thank you!
unfortunately, I already knew the first and fourth puzzle but still, this is an amazing positional study.
I will revisit this video for sure 😁😁😁
Wow respect, that means you’re on your study grind!!
trying my best
FIRST? I'm 0 for 5! hehehhe If I start a game off with e4 I think it's a brilliancy. :) Ok, I'm not THAT bad at chess. Just not great. Thanks for the examples! I would have to think a LOOOOOOOONG time to come up with some of those moves. I always want to capture instead of looking for better moves. I'm always scared if I don't take, they'll take and suddenly I'm down material and I will just lose. I'm always amazed when players do an opening and don't capture a pawn in the middle I am always frightened of that part of the game. Speaking of frightened.... Black Sabbath is doing ANOTHER "final" concert to try and make $ for Sharon. They'll never quit until Ozzy is dead. Even then they might hire a double and do ANOTHER 'final' concert.
Do you play on chesscom? And yes these are maybe too difficult, but the difficulty is what makes the bishops routes so respectable to me. I think each puzzle should be though about for 7-10 minutes if taken like an exam and whatever you get from there you roll with it.
