      @aaronchan1088 Рік тому +3

      And instead of Bg4, c6 is best, preventing Nb5, and white has no compensation for the two pawns. I used to play the blackmar-diemer gamit/ryder gambit/halosar trap in years past, but have not played this line in more than 2 years.

    Hey, this is me! I’m happy to bring a classic trap line to the channel, I’ll chalk it up to Anna playing about 50 games in a row before this. The next game we played was my favorite of the two! Thanks for posting

      Anyone who doubts that greed is a deadly sin need only watch this game. Those pawns were yummy going down, ... and free to boot,
      ... but they weren't free, and they didn't taste so good when the price had to be paid.
      That's several bad moves in a row by black. Bad, but understandable, free pawns, greed kicks in, eat 'em, never mind the poison.
      I found that beautiful.

      @mmathems395 Рік тому +7

      Okay it's explained, had she taken then it was check mate. In that case, since the game would be over so soon after its start, it's opening flaw on Anna's part. A few things done differently and then there'd be no trap.

    • @David-qn9wu

    • @mmathems395
      @mmathems395 Рік тому +1

      I'll say it's a one-time trick and not a real show of genius. For example, is it likely that he would succeed against Anna with the same trick again?

      @mmathems395 Рік тому +2

      @@David-qn9wu Thank you for your comment which hits me as well lol. In my case I did not see the check-mate until the video clarified. Perhaps in the position of that lack of awareness I ought not to advise, but would I be aware that I should not be advising? In any case, after becoming aware a new realisation springs, and at that point I can advise. My advice is that changes to Anna's opening would make all of the difference. Wouldn't you agree?

    After Maik could play his queen to A5 from A6 to protect the bishop but forcing Ana to move the queen threeat from the bishop or bringing her horse to help the queen for boomerang attack but also the white horse cab hep as well the bishop position...
    Anyway the white after can send their white bishop out letting the tower to put pressure to the queen...
    Let me know if anyone have the tsame thougts with me...great game for both of them...all the best of the best to all...
