@@PowerPlayChess If the bishop of the weaker side can defend from the front, which is easy achievable in the position you mentioned the exchange of rooks, then the position can be quite simply held
@@jelmerh33 It also depends on the bishop. Here, against f and g pawns, black dark square bishop vs. white light square bishop (which you have in the game) is nearly always draw, even if Black didn't manage to get the bishop defending from the front (there's a fortress with Black's bishop on b2-c3 and Black's king switching between e7 and g7 depending on the diagonal the white bishop). But if Black had light square bishop vs. white dark square bishop, even a defense from the front should not suffice to save the game if the pawns managed to reach the fifth rank (they must be held further back).
Guccireza is easy to root for. I hope he wins the tournament. He seems to be playing very well. Poor Pragg is still a work in progress. There is great hope for the future though. Thanks for the analysis!
I've met the same problem. It really depends on how many puzzles you solve and the difficulty, a minimum of 30 puzzles a day was recommended by my coach. You should also seek out a few difficult puzzles that might take maybe 10-20 mins to solve and avoid the temptation to guess variations, try to solve them as thoroughly as you can as though you were playing a classical game. Frustration is your friend. The lichess puzzles are ideal for this, they are free and unlimited, you can choose the difficulty, and the dashboard tells you with themes to focus on, and provides you with puzzles specific to that theme. In terms of openings, you can choose any opening you want, as long as you enjoy it and make sure to know it better than your opponent Hope that helps

Hi Danny!
IIt was really funny to watch Nepos reaction when he realised he was getting an almost identical ending as in his loss to So, this time with white.
Fine analyses of middle- and endgames. Thanks.
fantastic report, thankyou - great thing to compare of Nepos games in rd 4/5, very instructive
Fantastic video. The multi game format is great.
LOVE the highlights format!!!!!
Great to see Alireza doing so well in classical again. Thanks Daniel.
Brilliant play from both, and a brilliant commentary!
Great coverage of this event. Keep them coming!
Thank you!
A little correction in the last endgame: if all rooks were removed, this would be a draw, thanks to opposite color bishops
Usually not drawn with connected passed pawns - but it depends on the position of the kings.

Thanks for recap sir
I love the promotion to a bishop.
Brilliant post. Wonderful ad for chess.
I've always said that Wesley is a right so and so. My word, the groans are deafening 😊
thanks for your nighgtly vigil for us, Daniel :)
Prag - So: in fact it's not a discovered check, it's a check with a discovered attack on bishop.
at 1:45 ive never understood why that technique is called "a bridge". To me "a barrier" would be a better term
I know what you mean!
Barrier has other meanings, such as when a knight inhibits the enemy king!
Awesome

Clearly, Nepo watched Danny's video but made the mistake of telling Ding about it.
Like the multi game format
Great game from Alireza
Nepo must surely have defended r+4v r+3 same side, before in his career. (Danny's earlier video studied in detail).
Like the ultimate goal,e for,at
Alireza holds classic blitz rapid...
My game calculation is weak i practice daily solve daily puzzles and analyse them still not improving my game how can I improve which opening is best
