      I disagree slightly. He gives kids 2 minutes to solve a puzzle, but then resolves it after barely one minute because one kid already found it. And at 19:27 he does not resolve the puzzle since the queen does not have to take on f8. He should do fewer puzzles, but do them properly.

      Dude: I literally thought the teacher was kaparov. The title of the video literally says Kasparov! I was like: wow! they got Kasparov to teach the game of the famous queen gambit game played by himself, as the white! Plus, the teacher dude literally looks just how you would imagine Kasparov would have looked today.

      What I liked most about this particular lecture is that he actually patiently answers all of the kids' questions. Var even showed the possible winning idea for that game with 2 pieces up when I thought he was short on time and would excuse himself to move on to the next part of the lecture.
      To be honest, I always felt bad for a kid asking Ben Finegold a question and getting rejected with some harsh joke (big fan of GM Finegold otherwise)

    about the last puzzle,what if u put rook c8 then he takes it and u take with bishop then put rook a8 and its inevitable checkmate with bishop f5 unless he puts rook a6 and then u take his rook then u have 2 rooks advantage which i think is better than the other alternatives cause in the first occasion he might just eat ur bishop with knight and then u can take his rook but only have 1 rook advantage.

    • @Crateron1
      @Crateron1 7 років тому

      +Daniel the Seventh after the white bishop captures on c8, and before white can move his rook to a8, black moves his rook to c6 giving check and attacking the bishop, so on the next move he will capture it. If white tries to attack the knight with his king (by moving him to d4), then before taking the bishop, the black knight moves to safety by taking the pawn on f3 with check, and again black is about to take the bishop, and if white keeps attacking the knight by moving his king to e4, the knight goes to g5, giving check and moving to a square guraded by the pawn on h6, and now the capture of the bishop is inevitable, leaving white down a piece.
