Thank you master Ramirez. Lesson 52 and 121 were eye openers to me. When you showed e5 an Bc5, I started looking at it tactically. Until you mentioned lesson 52, then I found the hole on d6, but had no clue what to do with it. I will get back to both this game and the game of the homework to look at it in detail.
Thanks for another great lesson Coach Robert! I really like these strategy lessons. I admit that when you asked the initial questions about the moves e5 and Bc5, I wasn't thinking about the d6 square. Having an outpost for a knight without a pawn supporting the outpost is a new concept for me. Thanks again!
After watching this lesson, I remembered lesson from #52 about importance of an outpost square. Amazing how something as inoccuos as a simple pawn move can create such a threat. For some reason I didn't look for that because so many pieces were off the board. Thank you for this, Awesome lesson hermano!!
Simply fantastic, master Ramirez! I believe no one has shed as much light on this valuable game as you. I also believe that all of us who follow your school are becoming better players. Thank you sooo much!
in the final puzzle my plan would be to reroute the knight to d6 or b6 by going to b8 then a6 then c4 then d6 or b6 depending on the situation also a thing to note is that when i move the knight to c4 a5 would be pressured and it hard to defend that pawn without making ur pieces passive, so i would try to put pressure on the e5 pawn while looking out for attacking potential towards either to d6 or b6 or the squares controlled by the knight when its either on d6 or b6.
Questions at 1:00 e5 - I think it is a good move because it challanges the center and potentially gives white an isolated pawn. I would respond with c3 because it is the only option I can think of. I would not take it not to lose the right to castle. I think there is also Nf3 but that seems too complex. Bc5 - I think it is a good move because it develops the bishop, gets ready to castle and attack an unprotected piece. I don't know If I should respond with Be3 protecting while developing a piece (which could have me lose the bishop pair and have an isolated pawn after 1. .. Ng4 2. Bc4 Nxe3 3. fxe3). Or if I should with c3, not developing a piece but keeping the bishop pair and likely not having an isolated pawn.
Home Work Since it a middle game(I think) the center pawn(on dark square) negate the movement of the dark coloured bishop. There is outpost on d6 so we can transfer out knight there (Nb1 Na3 Nc4 Nd6) but since it dark coloured output black can trade their bishop for our knight. And lastly a very amazing video👍👍
Position 2 knights in advanced position need support to concentrate on the hallali on the king (side) and neutralize as much as possible the deployment of the black pieces…
Bc5 is like both main forces (Q) are dead in the early fight and you send the troops to the capture a position that you think is vulnerable without much calculation…
Hi coach! When I stopped the video trying to guess the plan I spotted 23. Ne7+ but the idea was slightly different. I intended to play 24. Nc6 immediately attacking both the Rook on d8 and the a7-pawn, which would be going to fall unless he plays back the awkward 24...Ra8 to defend. In any case I could improve with 25. Ne5 adding one more attacker to f7 and planning also Rdf1. At that point with 4 vs 3 the f7 pawn would have been falling. Do you see any drawback in my strategic plan? Thank you in advance and still congrats for your super UA-cam Channel
Fantastic lesson...again! Thks Robert👍🇨🇵 Concerning the question asked end of the video : d6(weak square) seems to be a nice outpost for the knight. So the plan may be to play g4 and, when the f5 pawn leaves put the knight in d6 via e5. Next we might concentrate our threats on square f7 already controled by the knight by doubling rooks + queen on colonn f?!
s5: good move, strikes white's center, opens light-squared bishop, if dxe5 then Qxd1+ Kxd1 Ng4, forking the pawns Bc5: I like it, develops with tempo, gets ready to castle, if white responds Be3 then Ng4, if white responds Nb3 then Bb6, keeping pressure on f2 and maybe a later Ng4 to pressurize f2 further
I think the problem with the move is it overextends which can make your king weak and creates a weak square. but it does give your bishop a good diagonal but it is not worth the disadvantages
How did the knight get to g3!? Started from your early lessons to veering off to look at openings for black & white & since then have using the quiz in #143 to visit lessons I skipped (e.g. #121!). Started playing chess at the beginning of the year in the hope I could play with a sense that I knew what I was doing by the end of the year; the idea of identifying/creating an outpost could be an important step towards this, but though I did see #52 somehow I forgot the lesson - till I got to question #12 in the quiz :( Presumably e5 was done in the hope white would take & black could exchange queens & white will forfeit the right to castle? But that's not the only move available to white (e.g. Nf3, or another developing move). Black is ignoring the opening principles of controlling the centre & developing the minor pieces & d6 is already undefended by a pawn...
Wow that’s amazing thank you so much very beneficial video! Also may I ask could you talk about how to improve visualization without it calculation doesn’t work and I really SUCK at it :)

1. E5 black wants to challenge the center like a scandi and gain a advantage if the pawn trade happens by snacthing castling well knight can reroute to d6 If our dark bishops get off 2. Bc5 one move threat, we can gain tempo by Nb3 or even Nf5 and then Be3 to trade off that dark bishop then the d6 square is all there for the taking Need a video on endgame imbalances, I saw the wc game yesterday live, how did nepo know where to put his queen to defend, how did Magnus know the setup with the minor and major peice , I have desires to learn that sir 😀
I know! Years of training 💪 But yes, we need to talk more about it 😎 BY the way, thanks a lot for sharing the answer to each question. It means a lot 🙌
The hanging pawn on a2 was never a problem? Because I would have pushed that one to a3, taking control over b4 also, so that the black knight is even more restricted.. and just didn't want to let the black bishop capture that pawn..
1 E5 i think this move is trying to trade queens and not let me o-o and make my king a traget and i think that back will alway be succesful win the pawn back 2 B c5 natural it wins.tem pe and the move i would play and i would retreat and attack the bishop 3 My plan woud be to attack the nite or trade it to devlope my bishop and o-o
Towards the end, why was Rh1 played instead of Rh2? Is that a typo in the game notes? It looks like it invites Nxf6 and gives away most of the advantage.
@@NMRobertRamirez 21:20. I'm loving your content, BTW. It just makes more sense to me that, instead of moving the rook on f to h1 and then doubling, he would have done the reverse and first moved the rook on d to h2. I'm wondering if there wasn't some kind of transcription error back when they first reported the game.
@@knownonsense3246 yes, you are absolutely correct. Rh2 is a way better move, but Rh1 was actually played. My guess is they were already in time pressure. Thanks a lot for bringing it up 🙌😎
Thoughts on d problem given at the end... 1st thing that I notice r the squares d6 and f4....hence I can move my knight to b1 or e2..now I should probably choose to go to d6 because The position is closed... But the bishop is also a good bishop... So I am confused...
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. The bishop is also good, but the knight will be superior from d6. And if they ever take our knight, we capture back, getting a protected passed pawn 👍
e5 creates a weakness on d3 , Bc4 I don't know - it's somehow attacking the knight what is good on the one hand, but it can be easily defended, and trading that bishop which could be defending d3 is certainly not a good idea. Well my strategic plan would be to get a knight on d3 and ideally securing that square with my c-pawn. :)
OK this is my thoughts. Only 2 moves D5 of G4. I'd like to rotate my Kd6 and I have two paths I first thought to attack the middle with D5 and than soon realized that weaken my E5 pawn. So I I thank started playing around with G4 ant is my move. I they take than take FxE5 we capture back QxE5 not sure what move black has at that point and my next two moves are Ke4 and Kd6 I think if I was black Id move my rook and that the now open F file that is a deep as I can get at the moment
e5 - good move, its giving a pawn temporarily while also making whites piece a bit disogarnized (assuming white takes), black is better. Bc5 - ok/normal move. white can equalize with Nb3, Bd3 and postion 1 - white is a bit better since it has 2 pieces develop and are rather active. this position is kinda dry so my plan would get be to get a rook on the 7th rank and push pawn to create a passer or problems to black homework - im seeing weak squares on d6 and b6, black cant create significant threats so white can waste tempi with the plan. the correct pathway should be Nb1-Na3-Nc4. Now comes a hard decision on which square to land, since black is going to trade the bishop for the knight. On d6 im creating a protected passed pawn and a backwards pawn for black on e6. on b6 the you maintain the knight but pressure blacks position way less, but you could create an attack opening the b file and the a file. on my see d6 seems nicer
Since white does not want to lose castling rights, black is posing a problem for white of how to defend the pawn. If white can find the plan of Qe2 followed by Bg5 and long castles, this might be good. One plan for black that could potentially stop that idea could be after Qe2, black could play Bg4, except then white could respond Qxe5. In conclusion, black's original e5 makes white calculate options a bit, but seems to be foiled easily. That's my first impression before watching, so lets see how wrong I am lol.... Bc5 doesn't seem super great because material is equal and assuming white replies Be3, black has set himself to give up a bishop for a knight in an open position where bishops are better. By leaving white the bishop pair, black hands white the advantage. For the last position, there is a hole on c7 where the pawn was, but the knight can't get there. Since black pushed c6 and also has no dsb, there are some dark square weaknesses for black. Long term plan would be to take advantage of this weakness, perhaps starting with trying to get a knight outpost on c6, or moving the king on the dark squares to get the rooks out.
In the homework isnt h4 before Nb1 better as then has to come via g6 Bf8 to help d6 ,and that way he wont be able to save the hanging a5 when the knight gets to Nc4 ,although g4 is weakened due to h4 black doesnt have any way to exploit it Can you help me understand why Nb1 was better than h4 then Nb1😊
#1 e5. dumb move. white can bring his bishop to g5, and exchange queens with his rook. ...e5, Bg5 Nbd7 #2 Bc5. black is giving up a bishop, in an open position. Favours white.
e5 don't like, it opens the center to much. Bc5 I like, trade with the N then blacks Nf6 has good places to go. But this opinion is coming from a very mediocre chess player.

21:24 what if black takes the knight on f6 isnt that equalizing as the material is equal and the attack seems to be extinguishing
Nxf6 gxf6+ Rxf6 Rg2+ Kf8 Rh8+ Bg8 Rgxg8+
