    The best tip I could tell from roughly 2000 blitz and rapid games is that when you feeling something bad about to happen just take your time. Dont rush or anything even if you lose the piece/s in cause. Think about everything you can do even if the clock is running so that way you remember the patterns and the position.

    15:25 in the last situation you can also take the pawn if they block with them. Cause if you win the queen back you're still going to lose the bishop if pawn blocks, so you pull a Desperado(unless the bishop is defended by a knight or something)

      If you take the queen first, then they have to spend their move taking your bishop with their pawn, and you have the initiative, which you can use to develop your other bishop, giving you a substantial lead in development. If you take the pawn, they can recapture and develop with their knight, then you have to take the queen, giving them the initiative. You’re still slightly ahead in development because your rook is activated.
      I wouldn’t say it would be better for everyone to take development over the pawn here though. Some people are better with a development lead and some people are better with equal material. (There’s probably a “correct” play above 2000 or so though)

    At 13:33 it's also sometimes worth pushing the pawn to a3, blocking the king's path to the bishop (a3 pawn blocks the b2 square and the bishop blocks b1 and b3, essentially creating a small wall).
    Useful if, for example, the b3 pawn is protected. Not a permanent solution, but might buy you some time.

    Another thing to consider if you lose a rook to a knight fork, is - if it’s stuck afterwards - just leave it there! Make a developing move. Only take it if it tries to “break out of jail”. Think of this as another version of “maintaining the tension”. I’ve had many games where that knight was still stuck on a1/h1/a8/h8 at the end of the game. 😌

      Usually I would agree, but in this situation white’s queenside pawns would be so bad that it wouldn’t be unreasonable to win two or even all three of them. This is more than a small structural weakness, this is three totally isolated pawns. I know it would be tough for me to hold on to all of them.

    So far they're all pretty standard, 10:20 reminds me of something I sometimes encounter playing the Pirc: bishop and knight attacking the f pawn with no pawn to block the bishop. And the answer is exactly the same: trade the rook for the bishop and the knight. That 2 minor pieces advantage you have over them will generally hurt them a lot more than the loss of a mere rook will hurt you.

If you take the queen with the rook immediately, pawn takes bishop and you do not get the chance to win a pawn. Am i correct or do i miss something? Again, great content! Keep up the good work! :-)

    The examples you have selected are all ones I've seen in my games. You've picked some very good ones. Example #10, the last one, is one I encounter a lot playing the black side of the Danish Gambit. I accept all the pawns he offers and white then expects an aggressive attack. But it all rapidly fizzles out on with this line:
    1.e4 e5, 2.d4 exd4, 3.c3 dxc3, 4.Bc4 cxb2, 5.Bxb2
    White is usually thrilled and appears to have two active bishops looking down on black's kingside. But then black plays 5...d5! After 6.Bxd5 Nc6, white thinks he's tricky with 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7, 8.Qxd8. Then comes 8...Bxb4+ and now white's queen is lost and black usually ends up with a better position. I have played this variation countless times and usually end up having a very good game.

    Thank you so much! I watched this video and then played a 98 accuracy game. Either I learned an awful lot or your videos are some sort of good luck charm. Thanks for making them!

    Thank you for those tips. Especially for ways you might save the game if your opponent does the tactic on you. I already knew that 1 Bxf7+ Kxf7 2 Qxd8 loses Q and P for B, but hadn't thought of the in-betweener Bb4+ winning the wQ (provided that the bRh8 really does attack it) -- neat!

    @ 11:15, after palying 1.Kd1 b5 2. Kc2 b4 3.c4 (if you play 3.cxb its lets the knight escape) This still lets you trade the pawns evenly

    Just a note, at 15:32, if white blocks with the pawn, eat the free pawn. You still check and can perform the rest of the trick ;)
