      It's perfect for a blitz game. Having to win an 80 move game under time control is very difficult and if he understands the closed position, he's almost unbeatable.

    • @neruba2173
      @neruba2173 11 місяців тому +7

      This is because closed positions only happens if both play closed, which is not very often. If any of the players want to open the game from the begining and start trading pawns the closed game is over.

      If she only had moved her knight she would have won no matter what he tried. They were set up. Once they moved it would have been safe for the rook to come in. If he takes it the other knight can check him.

      @GPantazis Рік тому +2

      It doesn't really have many lines, the opening almost always transposes to some opening with the King's Bishop fianchetto. Its main difference is that Black can play any way he wants on the center, so from strong players it basically translates to "go ahead, pick an opening. Any opening. I know them all."

  • @borisborcic
    @borisborcic 11 місяців тому +6

    This channel is extraordinary, the drama illustrates the chess well enough that as bystander I get feeling of being into it even though I haven't really played since my teens [=~2*y2k - now]. Also, it makes me see playing chess as attracting players to a virtue I hadn't seen in chess, but that I sought in usenet news around y2k: the benefit of learning what neither knows beforehand by side effect of sharing a disciplined dispute with persistence. There's a bizarre coexistence/competition between the reward of winning a game and the reward to learn the lesson of an original game. What do chess players say to greet? Elo.

    Rook takes knight on H3 would have been interesting as bishop was pinned (@6:33)

    Good job Anna. You would have had that game if you had time to "sit on your hands" like your mother always told you!

    I haven't watched too many of her games, but that's the first time I've seen her beaten, but I think its was close.

    He was very lucky to win that game, Anna was clearly winning for most and time came against her. Well played by both.

    I get the feeling if you had given that game more concentration, you could have won it! Not so much near the end, as It was already over 12 moves from the last, but as he was making that opening. Of course it might not have been so entertaining, but I really wanted you to beat him!
