    19:47 you might feel like you didnt explain it well but trust me we understood the concept perfectly! this info is gold because sometimes in this situation we would just make random moves and hope for the best lol and the only reason we might get a draw is luck or because the opposition is also making moves and hoping for the best as well haha

  • @tctrainconstruct2592
    @tctrainconstruct2592 2 роки тому +4

    actually, the triangulation part can be explained better with a different definition of opposition. According to this alternate definition, we have opposition when it's not our turn, and when the rectangle of which 2 opposite corners are the 2 kings has all its corners on the same square color. "Straight" direct/distant opposition is when such a rectangle has an area of 0 squares.

    2:34, in this position I would actually prefer to O-O, I understand that I'm casting into a pin, but on the next move I'd move knight to g8 blocking off the queen and I'm fine with the semi-open f file in case they want to trade my knight for a white square bishop. I sacrifice my f pawn in many games anyway if I plan on castling kingside. Or semi open g file in case they apply pressure on the pinned pawn with dark square bishop and decide to sacrifice.

    (1) I've just finished watching this entire series of videos. The only things that were new to me (I've got around a 1550 rating, but haven't played in a few decades) was not taking the opponent's pawn, but blocking it instead; and how to use the knight to avoid being checked by a queen. (Some things, like rook lifts, were familiar, but I don't recall ever using them.)
    (2) I was once told that the reason Grandmasters play "weird" openings against amateurs is because the GM know they'll be able to win anyway. It seems to be a form of handicapping.

      I am not Nelson, but I would say the French Defense is a bit easier at our levels because #1 opponents are a lot less prepared for it and #2 even though there are a lot of variations the Sicilian has nearly infinite variations and nuances so it's very difficult for both sides to play a perfect game.
      That being said I just prefer the Caro-Kann against E4 as I can guarantee I reach a solid and comfortable position for myself as black.
