    Thank you Levy. I watched this video and tried using some of the concepts in my blitz games. I had a fool trashtalking me as he locked in his light square bishop. I rerouted a knight, traded off his most active piece and forced a resignation. It wasn't super high level but it was enough for me. Thanks again!!

    14:28 after Rd4 interfering with the rook's defence of the queen, why can't black play Qxd4, defending the rook, and attacking the queen? If exd4 then Rxh6 and black is up a rook. Edit: looks like Qg5+ intermezzo allows exd4 on the next move, winning for white.

    • @aaryashshakya3187
      @aaryashshakya3187 3 роки тому +3

      @Nathan Smith Coz if queen takes Rd4 then there is Qg5+ check and the king has to move and you can capture the queen in the next move

    I remember seeing a tournament live and Magnus was in a must win situation with black to win the tournament if I remember correctly and he played some ultra-aggressive opening , sacrificing everything on the D and E file from the beginning but his opponent was playing only forced moves mostly. I can`t remember the game but that was the best game I`ve seen Magnus play.

  • @paawanjethva
    @paawanjethva 3 роки тому +3

    At 14:39, why can't the rook on d4 be taken because once white takes back with the pawn, it loses its queen and black's just up a rook?

    I can't believe that position at 14:45, can it really be right? Rd4+ "The only move that wins, and it's beautiful" ? Isn't black simply winning there with QxR, PxQ, RxQ. What am I missing? - AAAH, that one had already been answered further down here. Qxg5+ first, and only then PxQ. OK, guess it will be a while before I can take on Magnus or Levon.
