    You are the best chess tutor on yt. Clear, concise, and relevant, without difficult notation-speak. Your videos are jam-packed and fast, not like others that take 2 or 3 times longer to get the same concepts across. So far, for me, personally - this particular video is the one I stand to gain the most from, as these queening and king opposition patterns are not obvious, and are quite esoteric. Thank you, thank you, thank you. *bows*

    You do the best job explaining the Pawn Box and the critical question is if the opposing King can enter the box to know if the King will win the Pawn-King race.
    As always- love your work!

    Great job explaining "The rule of the square" which you termed "the box". Magnus tried to explain it but couldn't. Wow!
    I first learned about "The rule of the square" from some guy in the early 70s. I had it down, but then forgot it. Your explanation is the best I've encountered because you're not doing the triangle way of understanding it. And what's really important is remembering to keep your king in the box and keep his king out, and if he changes his strategy, you must change yours.

      Ke5 is a draw in that position because the opposing king gets opposition. Likewise, the next position is a loss anyways because black gets opposition.

    I think around 15:00 , you might mention opposition: by white moving to d5, there is no way for black to maintain opposition, because the white pawn covers d7.

    @rayoutube5891 10 місяців тому

    I love your videos and this is another great one. However at 9' 10" in you say it's a draw if it's white's move, and I think you might point out that that's not the case if all pieces are moved up three ranks so black is on the 8th rank. Then it's a win for white because black cannot move back when he has to.

    at 19:10, the black king moved into the "A" file. I don't think black would have realistically done that. It would have made more sense to move his pawn to f6. That way, the white king wouldn't have been able to approach. Is it still winning for white after that?

    • @ChessVibesOfficial
      @ChessVibesOfficial  2 роки тому +2

      if f6, then you would play a5 and after the king takes you can go Kc5 and then Kd6 and take black's pawns. And if black doesn't take the a pawn right away, you can keep pushing it and eventually they have to, and that's when you go take the other pawns.

    • @USNBOT
      @USNBOT 2 роки тому

      Choose a specific skill to learn and then learn it. Examples: 1) Learning the main line of sicilian, grab your openings book or pull up openings explorer online and learn it. 2) Learning king and pawn against king endgame, go find endgame book or find video/tutorial online and study it. Basically just choose a bite sized thing that you don't know and then study it.

    I don't understand why at 6:46 'Black can get a draw in this position everytime by going straight back' and White can't use triangulation (12:44) to win.

    • @alexandergoss-pastor4789
      @alexandergoss-pastor4789 2 роки тому +3

      I'm no expert but once the white pawn is in front of the white king as in 6:46 it doesn't matter what the tempo is like as white can never get the black king away from those squares, even once they've gained opposition. In the second example as in 12:44 if black plays the same way then the white king will capture the black pawn and make a queen with his second pawn.

    BOTEZ TRIANGLE THEOREM

  • @rosiefay7283
    @rosiefay7283 2 роки тому

    Triangulation. I don't understand how triangulating wins here. I could understand it if Black's king were confined to two squares and couldn't triangulate. But here, Black's king can also triangulate e7/e8/d8.

    • @TJTrickster
      @TJTrickster 2 роки тому

      Black goes to e7 white moves king behind the pawn(e5) if black doesn't guard f6 or g6 white captures the black pawn and now has 2 pawns to move. The video says (but I'm not sure) that white will get a queen from that position. Due to threatened squares e7 is the only square the king can use to guard f6.
      Long story short, white has enough moves to prevent triangulation as it will not be the same position later in the game.
