BxB,QxB Nd5,Qxe QxQ,dxQ Ne7+,Kh8 Rd8 and white is also better :) Thanks for a lot of good videos.

    At 8:32 white could play knight d6 check and after the king moves, sac the knight for the b5 pawn wich is te defender of the knight, if pawn takes the knight on b5, bishop takes pawn attacking the knight and after it moves, you win the bishop; winning two pawn and a bishop for a knight, wich is superior to winning a bishop and knight for a rook as in the varition jonathan shows.

    21:47 Wouldn't
    Q×b6 Rxb6
    b5
    be a good move as well instead of a3?
    If he takes with the pawn on a6 , you can checkmate in 3 moves , if he takes with the rook then you can take the a6 pawn with your rook and if he takes with the c6 pawn you can take his rook. If he doesn't take , you can take the a6 pawn with your pawn and then threaten to get your queen back.

    • @NBAKings1
      @NBAKings1 Рік тому

      If pawn takes on b5 there is no checkmate in 3. If axb5 followed by Ra8, then Bc8 stops the back rank mate as it’s protected by the rook on C7

  • @MyNemesisIX
    @MyNemesisIX 4 роки тому +1

    couldnt he also just have pushed the pawn up at 11:06? cuz its either a knight for a pawn vs a knight vs a promoted queen. I mean Obviously the knight d7 is 100% safe but i like white's odds with the pawn push too.

    • @neiloppa2620
      @neiloppa2620 7 років тому

      Surely Smith based on how he phrased the previous info, I'm assuming the machuko line starts with the pawn attacking the queen while supported by the bishop on the back rank.

      @marquisewilliams3904 5 років тому +2

      Year late but whatev
      Chess defense is like defending your house from an attacker, and your king is your foundation. You can get rid of other pieces (queen = roof, bishop = floor tile, etc. In some cases you might have to sacrifice your roof or floor tile so it won't jeopardize your foundation), but you should protect the foundation (king) @ all costs.
      On the other end is the attack. Exploit the cracks in his structure. Sometimes all you have to do it pound on it like a sledgehammer, other times expert cunning and wits is needed. But it's all to get at his foundation (checkmate).

    • @vincentwei9869
      @vincentwei9869 7 років тому

      I think it was because black would exchange queens and then take the pawn on B4. Sure, white gets another pawn, but this isn't the best variation for white, as the black rook gets some activity that compensates for the pawn loss.

    • @nowekant93
      @nowekant93 4 роки тому

      Because if you trade rooks, white gets a passed pawn with bxa5 and then it's relatively easy to take it to promotion
