Yea and a3/a6 is usually a useful move, whereas Na4/a5 is usually not where you want your Knight. So by playing a3/a6, the b-pawn is now "poisoned" and cannot be captured, while keeping your Knight on a good central square 😎♟️
absolutely gold these videos are! Is there any way I can learn more of these very specific tactics lets say from a book? Or are these tactics simply learned from experience playing lots of games?
@@chess_explained_ :] I have some advice for players around my level [1600 otb but I play like a 2000-2100 sometimes] Actually, memorize theory, you never know what could happen and yk if you memorize now you wont be losing games because you forgot a critical move at 2100.
2:12 great lesson. Use P to trap Q escape. my instinct is to play Na5 to defend. But it setting traps for greedy players is more fun😊
