      @raining1975 3 роки тому +5

      Johnny Cliche , yeah she didn’t quite get what he was saying. Hikaru was talking about the semi open file and she was talking about being taught to keep your rooks connected (battery, piggies on the 7th etc). I think the problem with some of these rules is not giving specific examples to when to break those rules bc there are many situations to go against the rule of thumb in chess.

      Honestly, I'm a Hikaru fan, but he isn't that great at explaining ideas in an accessible way. Most of the time, he either says something too complicated or confusing for the learner or just states rules as facts without explanation. He also oftentimes fails to use opportunities to explain important ideas which would really help his students - I think that's because he is struggling to recognise his students' strengths and weaknesses. To give you an example, when Fuslie was tasked with checkmating the opponent, both of the times she managed to get into the right position, but she couldn't finish it off because she attacked with her bishop instead of the queen. A better teacher would have realised that her thought process regarding checkmate prospects was slightly off and pointed out that, if you want to checkmate your opponent, you almost always want to attack with your most powerful piece(s), usually using the weaker pieces to support them. Another example would be when Fuslie asked whether doubled pawns were bad after taking on g3: a better teacher would have recognised that the intuition behind the question was right and tried to bolster this intuition. For example, they would explain that, indeed, doubled pawns are disadvantageous but that, in that particular situation, the advantage of having an open file for the rook was greater than the disadvantage posed by doubling the pawns, and perhaps further that, since a rook is worth 5 and a pawn is worth 1, positional advantages for rooks are usually more important than those for pawns. Instead, Hikaru completely destroyed the intuition, and now Fuslie will think that doubled pawns are fine. I could go on with these examples, like when Fuslie tried to defend her bishop (which is in general an excellent defensive) idea instead of going for checkmate or when Hikaru told her to always capture with the e-pawn but didn't explain that this was to create a future open file for her rook on the kingside, from where it would have more opportunities to attack the king. But I think you already get the point.
      I really like him as a steamer and a chess player, but as a teacher his ability isn't particularly impressive, imo.

    There is a forced mate at 53:31: Bh7+ Kh8, Bg6+ Kg8, Rh8+ Kh8, Qh5+ Kg8, Qh7#. This is a common mating pattern to look out for when the rook has the h file, especially when White doesn't castle short and the bishops get traded on g3.

    I just love 1:07:00, where she's just missing that she's able to take with the pawn. It's one of the main struggles I had while getting better: to be to focused on the immediate relevant or strong pieces instead of just making room or preparing stuff

      @kevinkruger1329 3 роки тому

      Ah yes the fuslie's hat opening. What a great opening for white, but will black respond with the fuslie upside down defence. Been a great game so far, white is trying to trick black with the fuslie gambit, but black has declined in the remarkable offensive defence the throbbing moist play.
      Don't mind me, I'm just really board.

  • @rockmcdwayne1710
    @rockmcdwayne1710 3 роки тому +4

    I'm by no means expert but, casteling so early with london opening have cost me dearly on quite many occasions. I prefer to delay it to see what my opponent is planning. If they challenge my dark square bishop from the get go i prefer to back it up and open the rook file. To me it seems most flexible. Then again, i'm playing scrubs mostly as im one of them.

  • @florentingoyens7558
    @florentingoyens7558 4 роки тому +20

    Quite generally, getting a knight to the e5 square offers nice active play. If they want to eliminate it, you will recapture with a pawn on e5. This is a great clue that you can attack the h7 pawn with bishop and queen, as the e5 pawn prevents a knight on f6 defending the king. This is sort of known as the Pilsburry attack. Hikaru is just offering a Masterclass here

    • @ryanarya2806
      @ryanarya2806 4 роки тому

      In some line, you can consider yo play F4 to create the stonewall structure and you can play F3 when the black play Bg4 harass your queen. But it's just very rare to see those line. Magnus in some of his london delayed Kf3.
