      @@V305G Yeah, Levy is expecting you take pay for his courses if you want a real lesson. I'm not mad at it, make your money, but his videos are advertising and entertainment. I actually prefer his videos like one I saw today doing a history lesson on Nezhmetdinov, whom I admit I hadn't heard of or had forgotten about if I had. His energy works great for telling a compelling story, less so for rapidly explaining chess moves.

    The first brilliant move seemed pretty straightforward (don't know if I would have found it in game, but as a known puzzle, easy enough). The second one, even though you said it was coming, you said which knight it was, and there was clearly only one square that it might go to for a brilliancy, for the life of me, I still could not figure out why/find the bishop continuation. Like most slick lines, it looks so obvious in hindsight, but really is a clever tactic (forcing sac to free up the square for your new attacker). Your videos are so wildly instructive.

  • @trixmtll1393

    i dont know if it was brilliant but the best knight i ever had was on f5, while the black king was on h8.
    the black and white g pawn were gone, the h and f pawns for black were still on their starting squares.
    black had the rooks stacked on g8 and g7 and his queen was like on h6,or maybe h5, i remember he had to use a tempo for is queen to be on dark squares.
    my queen was on d4 and i was queen side castled. and the position allowed for my knight to take the rook on g7, jump back, force the second rook to block, take the second rook, move again and force the queen in front of the king. i believe i had a rook on g1 but the pin from the queen along the dark squares kept black rooks pinned on g7 and forcing the issue plus the risk of back rank mate since i had access to the open file with my rook.

    Very nice tactics! The only thing (and I cannot find the game unf.) was a complete beat down I was taking and my opponent was not taking pieces for some unknown reason, but they had my king running for cover constantly and somehow escaped by the skin of its teeth over and over, until finally I realized that if I could get just one pawn move in I had mate...that's what eventually happened! It was so unreal how they literally missed mate at least 25 times by not capturing and delivering benign checks by using the wrong piece! It was surreal. Unfortunately I don't have it, must have had an old account that I used and the email associated was unused and deleted by Hotmail so I cannot get it, you would have been besides yourself! Lol I think that one must have worked hard at giving me chances, probably humorously doing it or was a GM that was drunk and fooling around. Ah well, wish I had the evidence, was a hoot and delivering mate via pawn was great as always :) Thanks for the great content! 👍

    Okay so I'm not calling myself a pro expert chess player and maybe this guy is thinking much farther ahead than I am, but these ideas seem like pure idiocy to me. 3:21 so in a position like this where I could either sacrifice my pawn on my Bishop I would never choose to sacrifice my Bishop over my pawn. And who cares that the bishop is blocked for one move. He's not really blocked because there's nothing in front of the pond so I can just move the pond up or I can move the the bishop back because he still has room behind him. So taking a big piece like that at the cost of nearly being inconvenienced for one move sounds like a pretty good trade to me. I really feel like I would annihilate this guy if I played him. He's stupid enough to sacrifice his big pieces when he had to sacrifice a pawn and he's just going to be left with pawns by the end of the game.

  • @mr.e7541
    @mr.e7541 Місяць тому

    I'm not a chess expert and don't even know all the fancy move names. But the way I play I would never take a white Bishop with a night because I have value my knight higher than I do a white Bishop maybe a black Bishop but not a white one.
    And if my opponent were to put me in that position I would allow the night to take me and just take their knight.
    I don't know I think it's a very good move because it cost your night at the cost of a white Bishop, which I wouldn't consider to be an even trade. It just puts you in a better position. It doesn't even win you the game.
    And I would have no problem sacrificing two pawns for a knight.

      The analysis gives White +6 after ... Qd8 and +8 after ... Bd8 (and +11 after ... Kc7).
