I am tempted to say Qa5 sacrifice because gets checkmated if they take. Qa5 Rxa5 Rxe7+ Kd8 Re8+ Kd7 Re1e7#. Assuming black sees it they will likely move the rook to b7 or d7, but you can harass it with nc5. Not sure if that still leads to checkmate but it should win material at least.
I'm a total amateur lol but yeah that's my favorite line for this, out of what I've thought up or read so far. Good eye with the forced mate, I didn't think of it simply enough & had a different much weaker move order idea
I believe there's one chess principle that's even more important than the one explicated here, which if I understand it correctly is "Before making routine developing moves, always look for opportunities to make effective attacking moves instead." The principle I have in mind that I think is even more important is the following: Don't confuse yourself more than you're confusing your opponent!

thinking about chess in a different way recently has me on a tear......ive been thinking every opponent move creates opportunity for imbalance--so then i ask how do i hurt him while fortifying my position? been getting mostly amazing results, so im on to something .......
I think Qa5 opens up a pretty fun position that is forcing if rook captures. You have two connected rooks on the exposed king (on the same rank as black queen) and a very strong knight. It feels like it is winning. But there are probably better alternatives
Qxa5, Rxa5 is a forced mate in 3 with Rxe7+, Kd8, Re8+, Kd7, R1e7# and is actually the best move in that position! I saw the same line at first and thought I probably blundered something :D
I would start off by pushing the c4 pawn to c5 to keep the black rook on the 7th rank. Then bishop to d6 to pressure on the e7 pawn. The e7 pawn can't take the bishop.
Many of the fundamentals of chess have this principle as their underlying justification... but many players don't understand "why" they are doing certain things so their mindest is often far from this concept.
30.Qxa5!! is one of those kill shots that's just as easy to miss as it is to spot. Of course almost anything wins, but after this move White is up two pawns instead of one while maintaining all of his positional trumps in a most likely winning attack.
Pressure the Kings pawn with the bishop.black moves besides king to threat. Bishop takes pawn. Rook takes bishop. Rook takes rook. Queen takes rook. White queen takes pawn to open the path for white pawn to pass
Nxg5 fxg5 Qxa5. Rook can't take because Rxe7 is mate in 3. c7 controlled by bishop, b7 and d7 would lose to Nc5, rook has no squares on the 7th rank so Qa8 defending. Qxg5 Qd8 Bh4 Rh7 Qxg8.
i wanted to play Nxg5 to eliminate the only active piece of black and after fxg5 the idea ist to play d5 with an Attack to blacks rook on h8. the Problem that i now see, ist that ist Just helps black to protect e7 with Rh7... hmmm
Bd7 seems winning, but so does Nxg5 (fxg5 d5) and maybe so does Qxa5? (if Rxa5 Rxe7+ Kd8 Re8+ Kd7 Re1e7#, I'm not sure what to if Qd7. Maybe Bd7 then too?)

I was a plateaued 950 level player that could never get over the top. I always played very solid. I've tried being attacking... I suck. My rating is now 690
Relatable, man. Risks are like that. Means there's something super valuable in this process that you can gain a ton from once you identify it. And I mean on the meta, like changing your style too much too fast, or the way your mood is when you play with different styles. You don't suck, you're just learning & growing the way people do with complex skills. You got this 💚
A key to attacking. Develop your pieces first. There’s a difference between overextending a likely to fizzle attack and being aggressive. If you have a move that defends while also creating threats that’s the idea of aggressive play. Learn and commit these ideas. Opening principles Develop before attacking Control the center before attacking. If needed open the center before attacking. If an attack fizzles in one side of the board play on the other side of the board. Reroute your pieces if you need to. The second most important thing in chess beyond king safety is piece activity. Improving and optimizing pieces means getting them coordinated and on squares where they have a lot of vision. If you’re losing games with a time advantage, slow down. If you’re losing with equal or less time play longer time controls.
I want to say Qxa5 but I’m not so sure. Can’t bank on rook accepting sac. I want to say Bd6 attacking the e7 pawn further? Ng6 defends. Not sure of the continuation after that
I would like to see one of the YT demonstrators beat my free computer download game, "Grand Master Chess 3" from "Gametop" in the easy adult mode. There 3 levels to go after that. That "easy adult level"?---I would have to bet money on it.
I like Nc5, I don't hate Nxg5 trading you least active piece for black most active piece and creating another weakness. if there is a forced mate in this I don't see it. never-mind I found it. it does end in Nc5 though.
9:09 - probably also good - Bd6. Thank you for your ideas and videos. The question: What is it to be the pupil of this chess course? It is necessary, obligatory to spend daily for example one hour?
Since you haven't received a reply yet, I'll oblige. If paying for this lesson would make you feel better, feel free to contact me. 1) Tactics! Tactics! and more Tactics! In particular, learn the basic checkmating patterns. If you're always missing mating opportunities, then how well you play other aspects of the game becomes less significant. In addition, memorize the names of the typical tactical themes, such as forks and interference, just to give a couple of examples. You'd be surprised how much more likely you are to spot tactical opportunities when you're familiar with the names of the tactical themes that apply. 2) Spend 70 hours on the endgame, focusing on king and pawn endings (opposition, triangulation, and breakthroughs in particular) and basic rook endgames, where in particular you must master the Lucena and Philidor positions. Why 70 hours? Because that's how much time Emanuel Lasker recommended to spend on the endgame. 3) As for openings, concentrate on placing at least one pawn in the centre (hypermodern openings are not for beginners) while developing your other pieces to sensible squares, castling early, and connecting your rooks. If sufficient leisure time is available, you can slowly start memorizing variations, using something like Reuben Fine's Ideas Behind the Chess Openings as a guide to understanding the moves you're memorizing.
When asked, time and again Garry Kasparov has said this: "The overall most important chess principal for all players of all levels, is KING SAFETY. You should prioritize protecting your own king over every other aspect of the game, including controling the center. The exception being if you have a forced mate progression and is your turn. There are 3 greatest players of all time, and Garry is one of the three. Protect your king.
While I agree king safety is the most important principle,Igor is talking about is looking for the downside to your opponents move. To give two examples from my own games 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 Bxc3+ 5.bxc3 c5 6.Bg5 b6 7.e3 d6 8.d5 e5 9.Bd3 Qe7 10.Qc2 e4? 11.Bxf6! exd3 12.Bxe7 dxc2 13.Bxd6 I win a pawn and eventually the game. Or 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.h3 Nf6 5.d3?! e6 6.Be2 Be7 7.Bd2 a6 8.a3 0-0 9.Bg5?! Qc7 10.Qd2 Nd4! White's bad bishop remained bad for the entire game giving a piece advantage which I used to win with. During a game we look for threats and developing moves but ignore what wins or what I should says loses games mistakes.We all make them but masters make a habit to look for them and should we.
Nice piece of advise. but its easier said than done. You have to know what the disadvantage is that the move has and then you have to understand how to exploit it. Furthermore the move may also have advantages, and if you only think of how you can punish it, you may be surprised by the opponents next move. Punishing you for YOUR move. lol By the way, this was a very nice game to illustrate this principle, but clearly you can select a game which supports the narrative. White is punishing black for his moves, and black somehow is always the victim of his bad choices.
@@markusmuller8215 @Markus Müller If Qa5, then Ra7 must move or Qc8 must defend it. If Qb8 to defend Ra7 then white Qc5 followed by Bd6. If Ra7 moves anywhere along row 7 then Kc5 or Bc3 takes. If black to Qb7 then Bg3 to d6. Obviously, I am a novice. That is what I see.
@@babulah8447 3. ... Kc7 was stupid anyway, due to the dark squared bishop: Novice, too. But what about 3. ... Rac7 4. Qc5 Qd8 5. Bd6 R8a7? e7 is 4 times defended. Or 4. ...e6?
c4 is already covered by the light squared bishop, Na4 is not a threat. Also, it weakens our dark squares. Black's dark squared bishop will be more powerful on g7. We don't need to fianchetto our bishop as it can be more active on f4.
OK, it is "universal" as long as both players play exactly those first 3 moves. Nothing is universal with this game. People get good at this game by spending a lot of time studying history and choosing which (name) to play, with maybe a slight variation which always makes yourself nervous as well. I am looking for a philosophy for the game, because I have better things to do than spend 10,000 hours learning history, and picking what I remember during a game. With "philosophy" I mean breaking down all the strengths of the individual pieces, and using them together to gain a power that is learned by principle instead of memorization of individual moves, (there should be philosophy behind every move.). Is that possible?
The universal principle I think he is referring to is to make moves with the intention to exploit opponent's weaknesses and make him worry and defend instead of just making rote "development" moves.
@@leechap3 right, I think its definitely better advice than just making development moves for the sake of getting pieces off of starting squares. However, in the likelihood that a low rated person would not see exploitative moves, developing to a safe square is certainly the better option than moving forward and attacking just for the sake of doing it.
Я бросил шахматы, ибо понял, что от труда вы не станете играть хорошо. Только если у вас есть врожденный талант. Здесь говорят, как нужно смотреть на позицию. Это бесполезно. Если вы играете плохо, вы и после этого видео будете играть плохо. Все дело не в счете, а в том, что лучшие игроки сразу видят что считать, и куда смотреть. Но никто не объяснил как это, ибо в каждой позиции все разное. Все дело в врожденном строении мозга. Если вы родились способным, вы будете. Шахматы это игра, где идет дискриминация талантов. Талант просто родился таким
That's not true at all. I used to think the same way. Talent makes it easier, weaker skills and/or disabilities (like mine) make it harder, but it's still a skill like any other, and anyone who can learn its basic rules can grow and improve at it. I'm truly sorry you feel so discouraged about it. :( There's nothing wrong with experiencing frustration about having difficulty progressing at a skill you care about. And it's a good sign that you need a break, or to decide it makes you unhappy and choose to stop, those are all valid reactions. I promise what you're feeling is normal.
Principle not rule. And it's clickbait to say it's The most important, but it is very important. The principle is anytime the opponent moves, you should be determining how that makes their position weaker and try to exploit it.
Я думал как вы говорите. А потом просто не увидел ошибку у себя. И потерял фигуру. Ваши рекомендации не работают. Шахматы это не секрет мысли. Это особый талант

Qa5 is immidiatly crying to be played
My guess- Bd6, you have Qa5 too if defended by the other rook, but black may have counterplay with the queen… hmm good one.
I think a lot when I type too. :)
Knight takes bishop g5. Pawn takes then d5. Attacks rook and allows queen space to attack d7
I would start off by pushing the c4 pawn to c5 to keep the black rook on the 7th rank. Then bishop to d6 to pressure on the e7 pawn. The e7 pawn can't take the bishop.
You are the best brother... Take care...
1. KxB, ... PxK,
2. d5 preparing for Qxf6 etc..
Love the lesson bro! Thanks

Yeah that's my thought.
nice the way the horses got put in a pen.
Pressure the Kings pawn with the bishop.black moves besides king to threat. Bishop takes pawn. Rook takes bishop. Rook takes rook. Queen takes rook. White queen takes pawn to open the path for white pawn to pass

I'd play Qxh5. If Rook captures queen, then Rxe7+, Kd8 is forced. Then Re8+, Kd7 is forced. Then Re1e7#
Re8# as d7 is covered by N.
You are very good. I learn a lot.
Thank you! 😃

I would play bishop d6 overloading the pawn using the pin.
If I’d got this position I’d savor it and play d5. So many options to follow.

Queen sacrifice on a5.
Follow up rooks mate the king by driving him into the pawns.
Qxa5! If Rxa5 then it's mate in 2 moves i.e. Rxe7Kd8 and then R1e7#

I'd like to say the line is Qa5 with mate in 3 if rook takes?
7:17 why can't the queen kill white's knight?
I would have move Bb5+ but he will protect with Bd7
0:36 what about b3? it would stop the knight from pushing forward and make up space for the next move bishop b2?
c4 is already covered by the light squared bishop, Na4 is not a threat. Also, it weakens our dark squares. Black's dark squared bishop will be more powerful on g7. We don't need to fianchetto our bishop as it can be more active on f4.

All well and good, but is 1e4, N-f6 a real thing?
As Igor pointed out in the video, it's called the Alekhine's Defence, an opening invented by a former world champion. So, yes - it's a "real thing."
OK, it is "universal" as long as both players play exactly those first 3 moves. Nothing is universal with this game.
People get good at this game by spending a lot of time studying history and choosing which (name) to play, with maybe a slight variation which always makes yourself nervous as well. I am looking for a philosophy for the game, because I have better things to do than spend 10,000 hours learning history, and picking what I remember during a game.
With "philosophy" I mean breaking down all the strengths of the individual pieces, and using them together to gain a power that is learned by principle instead of memorization of individual moves, (there should be philosophy behind every move.). Is that possible?
The universal principle I think he is referring to is to make moves with the intention to exploit opponent's weaknesses and make him worry and defend instead of just making rote "development" moves.

However, in the likelihood that a low rated person would not see exploitative moves, developing to a safe square is certainly the better option than moving forward and attacking just for the sake of doing it.
You missed the entire point of the video, which is exactly the point you are making...
Can you please repeat that. I was watching the cat.
What do you think about the move h2-h4 after g7-g6. with the idea h4-h5 and open the h-file?
Maybe I am dumb but neither black or white can get to g7 so I can’t follow what the proposal is
If Black doesn't castle on the kingside, you may live to regret weakening yours.
I'm thinking khight take bishop trying to open lines to the rook
What is name og the ginger cat?
Qa5
Qxa5 2)A queen sacrifice! if 1) Rb7 Nxg5 fxg5 2)Qxg5 then Rxe7 Kd8 Re8 + Kd7 Re1e7 #
Я бросил шахматы, ибо понял, что от труда вы не станете играть хорошо. Только если у вас есть врожденный талант. Здесь говорят, как нужно смотреть на позицию. Это бесполезно. Если вы играете плохо, вы и после этого видео будете играть плохо. Все дело не в счете, а в том, что лучшие игроки сразу видят что считать, и куда смотреть. Но никто не объяснил как это, ибо в каждой позиции все разное. Все дело в врожденном строении мозга. Если вы родились способным, вы будете. Шахматы это игра, где идет дискриминация талантов. Талант просто родился таким
That's not true at all. I used to think the same way. Talent makes it easier, weaker skills and/or disabilities (like mine) make it harder, but it's still a skill like any other, and anyone who can learn its basic rules can grow and improve at it.
I'm truly sorry you feel so discouraged about it. :( There's nothing wrong with experiencing frustration about having difficulty progressing at a skill you care about. And it's a good sign that you need a break, or to decide it makes you unhappy and choose to stop, those are all valid reactions. I promise what you're feeling is normal.
Ты кажешься парнем с полупустым стаканом. Я прав в этом?
Nice cat!
Bishop to b5 checkmate
would've played d5 in the intro
It was a very nice cat 🙀 video.
Why not Bd6?
No indicar que
The cat in the background takes all my attention 😮😅😂
So what the heck is the single rule?
Principle not rule. And it's clickbait to say it's The most important, but it is very important.
The principle is anytime the opponent moves, you should be determining how that makes their position weaker and try to exploit it.
Я думал как вы говорите. А потом просто не увидел ошибку у себя. И потерял фигуру. Ваши рекомендации не работают. Шахматы это не секрет мысли. Это особый талант
Ваш комментарий не имеет никакого смысла.

How to win IF you are playing against an idiot who cooperates with your goals.
