@@mikhailgavrilov8980 Yeah, you're light squared bishop is one of the most valuable pieces in attacking your opponents king side. Normally a mistake you see is that people bring out their light squared bishop to pin king side knight to the queen early on and then trading it. You both lose tempo in trading a developed piece and lose an attacking possibility later on in the game.
@Visibly Malding i don't know enough about chess to understand the context but it seems like whatever Aronian said was pretty good natured judging by everyone's reaction
@@joshuamitchell5530 oh then I guess if it's irrelevant in the west, where less than a billion people live, and only relevent in Asia, where over 3B people live, then that makes it truly irrelevent 🙄. Don't be xenophobic
The trick with knights is knight moves to squares that is opposite colour they are on. Let's say your knight is on white square, it can only move to black squares around it. Hope this will help you❤️❤️❤️
how do u think colons work? You could substitute a comma for the colon then add a colon at the end followed by some message, but dat don't make no damned sense. Rn ur saying "Who can't even play a knight move without counting the squares" with an implicit question mark at the end.
@@kushalsharma2686 funny thing, they could play without a board and without pieces. They would just say the notation of the moves and play a whole game like that.
Actually, the "without pieces, with board" scenario happens regularly for Super GMs in at least one key tournament every year. When they play "blindfold", the aesthetic usually presented is an empty board. Hence, your #3 and #4 are actually the same thing, except #3 is the fancy presentation style at tournaments like the blindfold Amber chess tournament.
there's a video of GM Andrew Tang and GM Hans Niemann playing a game of table tennis and chess simultaneously, where you must make a chess move before hitting your next shot on the table
i tried playing chess this way w/my friend, the worst part is when you wanna make a diagonal move. you're gonna struggle with your final position after moving it💀
This guys are so good!! I mean, the guy with white is so good at chess that dares to play without a board against MVL. On the other hand, the guy with black is so good at chess that dares to play without a board against Naka. And even the guy watching is so good at chess that he dares to trash talk a game between Naka and MVL.
I read once about a guy describing two people in his highschool. They would randomly say moves in a day whenever they met. Like walking down a hallway and they happened to meet one would whisper "e4" And then this would continue over meetings. Crazy to think they played entire games like that. Thinking of the moves while in chemistry class or something
Everybody is talking about "without pieces" but the uncertainty of the moves makes this more interesting to me. The players see the board perfectly before them, when not being able to do so causes dispute, meanwhile in blindfold play there is no room for debate based on site, it's just how good your memory and visualization are.
Yep they can but the really impressive stuff is Simultanian chess with a blindfold Grandmaster. Like 4 hobby chess players vs a blindfold GM at the same time. I dunno how GMs can follow all of the moves and even switch boards in their mind
They could also play without pieces
joke on they they actually do that (probably)
@@eyalnavot755 Hans and Andrew Tang did that
Tang did that
certainly. Playing just without the board like shown here actually shouldn't be that much of a problem...

you cant checkmate with the normal things. like you cant checkmate with 1 or 2 rooks, 2 bishops and 1 queen lol

Evidently a bad proverb
When brother broke the chessboard after chess rage but, you are diehard chess player.
“Kings Indian you shouldnt exchange the bishops”
I feel like this is harder than playing without pieces.
Yeah same
Not even close. You get a sense of dimension from the start because of all the pieces. The only real hard part would be the endgame.

MVL has no control of the light squares, or the dark squares. But neither does Naka.
