    This lecture was recorded on July 28, 2021, at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Atlanta (CCSCATL) in Roswell, Georgia. Why am I posting this now?

    Not resigning is so true. You know how many games I won after blundering my queen? Often when you blunder your queen at the 1,000 level your opponent gets so comfortable that there is a very real chance they’ll blunder their own queen away in a couple of moves.
    Another thing that happens often is they win your queen and then they think “oh boy this means I can checkmate” and they think waaaay too long trying to find some mate and you still win the game on time.

  • @KeystoneHeavy58
    @KeystoneHeavy58 Рік тому +4

    That Bacrot blunder is something else. First, he didn't even take a pawn or anything, it's just 9 points of material down the drain in one move. Second, its not even a move that forces black to pause and wonder if there is some tactic, because he made that move with check and black only has 4 legal moves to consider.
    It's not a check with your opponents only legal move being to deliver mate in 1, but it's as perfect a blunder as you'll ever see in a GM game.

      I think genuinely this is a position where (up to about 1600ish) the stronger you are as a player, the harder it is to find the very simple fork
      Moving the queen back to it's starting square is so counter-intuitive positionally that your chess-brain just filters it out as a possibility I think :)
