    This video reminds me of Nairobi. I was in Nairobi when I started watching Ben Finegold's videos. That's one of my favorite things in Nairobi. I like Kempinsky Hotel and the Westlands as well.

    It is ammonia, molecules get a different suffix (mostly -ide, like chloride) when they become ions.

    NH3 is the compound Ammonia. The NH4+ (positive) ion is referred to as ammonium

  • @kmarasin
    @kmarasin 7 років тому +2

    Wish there was more about the positive aspects of an isolated pawn. Most of the games here don't really show that, and the one game (out of four) the isolani won it didn't play that big a role in the win. GMBF said "most people don't like isolated pawns, because they're dogmatic", but didn't do much to ameliorate that here. Need to see games where the advanced outposts on K5/QB5 play a role in a win, or the pawn advances/exchanges/sacrifices with an opening of lines benefiting the side with the isolani.

      I think he meant the isolated pawn helps aid your pieces not that you use it directly

    In the first game, is the isolated pawn on d5 really the defining feature of the position? White has numerous other advantages as well (weakened b5-square, bishop pair, control of the open c-file, easier development, dark-square control), which eventually turn out to have much more of an impact than the d5 pawn.

    Why do you always repeat check move patterns?

    • @kmarasin
      @kmarasin 7 років тому +2

      It helps you reach the time control.

    • @Makingnewnamesisdumb
      @Makingnewnamesisdumb 7 років тому

      They usually put the clocks pretty close to you, though, don't they?

    • @kmarasin
      @kmarasin 7 років тому +1

      Makingnewnamesisdumb if you haven't played in a chess tournament, there are conditions like "first 30 moves in 1 hour", at which time you add maybe another hour for the rest of the game. Repeating moves helps you reach that point.
