Hello, Igor! I already own the "7 Keys..." course. Is there a possibility of just joining the Facebook group so as to interact with other students? Thank You for such a great content - all the Best to You! Luke
Hello, As you say you've already got 7 keys to victory so what are there? I believe Igor claims the first key is look for attacking moves. The next key is make your pieces better. I once won a game by simply asking this question. In chess there's hundreds of rules so how does Igor distile them all into 7?
10:34 the move Nd5 is a blunder, black captures the knight with his knight, and is therefore a piece up. If white takes the bishop black recaptures with the knight on d5, remaining a piece up.
But there's only one black knight that can take on D5 (black's f6 Knight). If white moves to d5 and the F Knight captures it, White can retake with the E pawn or the C Bishop and there are no other pieces threatening d5 at that point. Black's E Bishop could then take White's Bishop on g5, but then you can still take Black's Knight on c6 with your pawn/Bishop from d5. I'm not sure how advantageous the Knight to d5 move would be, but I don't see it being a big disadvantage either.
@@stwong2000 The trouble is after 1.Nd5 Nxd5 2.exd5, Black has 2...Nd4 and now Black attacks the g5-Bishop twice and the White Queen once. White cannot save both Queen and Bishop and therefore loses a piece.
@@milehighslacker4196 Actual reason is not that Black attacks 2 pieces at once. After Nd4, White can play Bxe7, also attacking the queen. But then Black takes the queen with a check, Nxf3+, and white can't take the queen back. If the white king was, say on b1, then Nd4 wouldn't work and exd5 would indeed save white from losing a piece.
@@xtraspecialj You would need to hate yourself to play from that position. Before black takes on g5 he would play the in between move Nd4 and threaten your queen. After something like Qd1 he takes g5. If you try and in between his move by playing Bxd7 he can take your Queen with check and can then take your Bishop on e7. GGs
I dare say you can make it one step simpler to find Bxf6 simply by thinking in terms of removing the defender, and the way to remove the defender is to use critical points (the bishop is attacked and defended an equal number of times and Qxg4 is an equivalent exchange) but maybe it improves the clarity to count the material captured each turn actually
10:36 saw the boomerang tactic of Nxd6, with an discovered attack on the bishop on g5 and if the g5 bishop decides to capture our bishop with Bxe7 we simply "boomerang" our knight back to e7 with Nxe7, and if he takes our knight, let's say with Bxd5 or exd5, then Bxg5 and we are a piece up

10:33 sec bro first when u put ur knight there then he takes it with his knight on which you were putting pressure then you will have a piece hanging on that square and at the same time ur bishop will also be under attack and if u go for capturing the Black's bishop with ur then he will simply capture with his knight which was hanging.

@@stval Qf7 wouldn't be a checkmate. I think you overlooked the rook on f8 guarding f7. You would just end up even worse off loosing your queen if you tried that line.

@@anticarnick well after 1. Nd5 Nxd5, 2. exd5 Nd4 attacks the queen escaping from the pawn capture and gaining tempo. Moreover if you counter tempo with 3.

@@mag1xz839nd5, nxd5, exd5, nd4. If you take the black bishop with the bishop (bxe7), the knight will capture the queen with check. So you are forced to take the knight and black would be winning 6 points of material.
I think you have to play bishop h6, attacking the rook making in unable tp guard f7. Then after Nd5, Nxd5,Bxd5 you threaten mate so Kh8, Qxf7 and you're winning. After checking with lichess's engine black can play Nd4 removing Queen from the f file so the tactic doesn't work. Apparently the best move is Ne2. And if black moves the rook theres is still Bf6 after Bxd5, but it's +2 here If there was a knight on e2 in the position bh6 would be winning since Nd4 would be met with Nxe2 and the sequence of moves is the same.
that doesnt work cause Nxf6 followed by Qxf6 followed by Bxf6 and if Nxc2+ king to d2 followed by Nf3 and black knight is trapped. white has 2 pieces for a rook better for white
What about Bh6? Black has to respond Nd4, then white goes Qd1 to cover the fork and black is forced to move rook? The threat will eventually be ND5 for white of black keeps covering the f7 pawn. That may be wrong but I think it makes sense?
Bishop takes Knight on g6, Bishop takes bishop, knight on d2 to prevent knight on D4 attacking the Queen, then knight to d5 attacking the bishop and then i would push pawn on h4 for the attack
Nd5 is bad as black now has Nxd5 and if we just take the knight with the pawn or the bishop your own bishop is hanging thus black may take it and previously you lost 3 points on a knight but you recapture it back making an equal trade however then you loss a bishop and get absolutely nothing. Coming back Nd5 Nxd5 the other forcing move is Bxe7 capturing the bishop and if back recaptures with the queen then we recapture and it is equal but if black recaptures it with the knight we can not recapture so before we lost a knight and then a trade with bishop takes e7 and Nxe7 so we are down by 3 points thus we are losing. So underlines the reason for Knight d5 being bad (blunder maybe actually).
White moves bh6 black will have to move re8, then white moves nd5, black takes with knight, unguards f7 pawn, White takes knight with bishop on d5, in next move white moves qf7 and its mate..
You say that in the next move White will play Qxf7 with mate to follow. You seem to assume that this will happen regardless of what Black plays. However, Black could play Bf6 blocking the White Queen's attack on f7 and there is no mate.
Nd5 is a good move because you Black can either ignore it the bad move or take the piece good move, then white bishop takes black bishop making black queen threatened so queen takes white bishop and then white pawn on e4 takes black night on d5 making it equal but also setting back black because white has more pieces developed.
If White loses a piece surely it's a blunder. After 1...Nxd5 2. Bxe7 we have ...Ndxe7 or 2.Bh6 Nf6 and again black is winning. If you have another line I would like to see it!
There's a good Ben Finegold UA-cam video on "The Reason People Don't Get Better At Chess According to Ben Finegold" he shows a Wing Gambit where GM Shirazi blunders a rook in six moves v IM Jon Peters.
Nd5 is terrible, because black Knight on c6 can simply go to d4, threatening queen on f3 to retreat. Then Knight on f6 takes d4 knight, white bishop takes that, then e7 black bishop takes white g5 bishop, and white has lost a piece, and position. Unless I’m missing something.
If white knight jumps to f6 knight, to check king, black bishop takes, then white bishop takes, then black d4 knight takes f3 queen, white bishop takes black queen, then rook takes that bishop, and white again is at disadvantage.
No. It looses a piece (white) for white. The line is→ Nd5, Nxd5; Bxd5, Bxg5 looses a bispo for free. or, Nd5, Nxd5; Bxe7, Ndxe7 also looses the bishop....
The way I saw Nd5: …Nxd5 Bxe7 (can’t play exd5 now because of Bxg5) …Qxe7 exd5 But then there’s …Nb4 which is a threat, so, maybe Nd5 shouldn’t be played
If Nxd5, Bxe7 you don't play Qxe7 as black but rather play Nxe7 (remember black captured on d5 with a knight which can move back to e7), this way there is no exd5 and win a piece. (Nd5, Nxd5, Bxe7, Nxe7) If Nxd5 and then exd5 (removing the defender of the black bishop), you have Nd5 hitting the queen, and you can capture whites bishop. In this line if white tries to take the bishop on e7, you first take the white queen with check (Nd5, Nxd5, exd5, Nd5, Bxe7, Nxf3+, gxf3, Qxe7)
I think its a bad move: Im confused from those hyroglyphs in the comments and what they are saying i hope i have the same result: Black Horse can move to D4 threatning the queen. If white Horse from D5 Engades and checks, you take with Bishop, then if he attacks with his bishop you ignore and take his queen and check him, he has to take your horse and u take his bishop getting queen, bishop and horse for horse and bishop. If white Bishop Engades you ignore and take his queen and check resulting in the same If white Queen engades you can get the advantage if ur black horse from D4 forks enemy king and rook. Are you with me or am i completely off?
Yes, it's a bad move. It looses a piece (Bishop) for white. The line is→ Nd5, Nxd5; Bxd5, Bxg5 looses a bispo for free. or, Nd5, Nxd5; Bxe7, Ndxe7 also looses the bishop....
it depends if we develop our knight to f5 and black takes it we take the bishop threaten queen he takes the bishop then we take the knight if hes not taking the knight he loses a bishop
Nd5 is maybe not a good move. As it can opponent's knight on a good square, giving threat for capturing rook by fork.and u have to block ur light squared bishop with ur pawn if you don't want to lose material. And blocking bishop's important diagonal is not good for white maybe.
The first two moves I should be looking at are 1.Q×B and 1.B×N. The first one is a wash. The second one wins a peice. Why the discrepancy? In both cases white starts out with a capture. In the second case white starts out with a capture and ends with a capture. OK, in the first case he is sucking the knight to a safe square. In the second, remove the guard case, he is sucking the bishop to a covered square. Does the following rule fit?: A stasis sac is good for two moves. He attacks the queen, you ignore it----capture, capture. His move, but the situation on the board is one of equal jeopardy.
If white just take the bishop Bxe7, use knight on d5xe7, and you are up 1 piece. The best white defence will be exd5 (plan to take c6), but still fails to Nd4(pressure to queen and check fork).
Puzzle solution: Bf6 Re1 g4 And after you play g5 If the knight moves there's mate so you're gonna win a piece The queen cannot defend because the rook blocks his way Thanks and have a nice day
Horses are Blocked and pinned, better to move rock to middle push senter pawn to add pressure, attack with right pawn storm, kill of horses in counter play and mate with bishop queen combo.
Nd5 is a bad move, but not for the reason you gave. Because after Nd5, Bxe7, Black will play Nd5xe7 (instead of Nc6xe7)and Black will be a piece up. No, Nd5 is not good because of the following variation: . 1. Nd5, Nxd5;, exd5 (otherwise Black will play Bxg5), 2. Nd4 winning the White bishop on g5 because if 2...Bxe7 then Black plays 3. Nxf3+ followed by 4. Qxe7 and White has a huge material advantage.
Bishop takes Knight is very obvious straight away as white gains two pieces to blacks one. I find it astonishing that any half decent player could miss it.
I believe Nd5 is a good move. If black does not capture that Knight on d5 than we simply win material, thus the only good move for black is Nxd5. This looks like we lose a bishop but after Bxd5 and Bxg5, we can create a strong attack on the king side which has a weaker pawn structure, and with the Knight no longer on the king side to help and blacks light square bishop blocked in still, white can shift momentum easily. I was personally calculating a Bishop sacrafice on C6. After black plays Bxg5, white plays Bxc6, black will recapture with a pawn, to which we can play Qg3, forking the bishop and pawn. Although we cannot immediately take advantage, while they bring their queen knight to the king side to aid in the defense and develop their light square bishop, you can play Nf3 to now full pressure both the pawn, and the bishop and set your self up to castle and connect rooks. Unleashing a scary king side attack. Let me know your thoughts!
After you pin the bishop and pawn, black will simply play Bf4 attacking the queen. No good player would ever let you develop a position where you can unleash a "deadly" attack on the king
@@dranonjagaming8365alterantively, instead of forking with the queen, develop Nh3, attacking blacks dark bishop and aiding in the attack. I still believe Nd5 in the beginning leads to a winning position for white,
Could you repeat the puzzle at the end of the video, then you don't need to pause and can get to it at the end. Nd5 is bad because Nxd5 attacks your undefended bishop AND can take the bishop if it takes e7. So you don't get the knight back if you trade bishops. If you take the knight on d5 back with a pawn you do threaten the knight on c6. You can take it if black takes your bishop and you only lose a pawn. (Maybe Nb4 poses a threat (fork on c2), but I think you can just trade bishops and deal with that after.) edit Nd4 is even better, it threatens the queen with check! So if white thinks to trade the hanging bishop first (threatening the black queen) it loses a queen. You need to take this back first and then you lose the bishop! So you need to save the queen with Qd1, the only safe square that protects from the c2 fork and you'll lose the bishop.
Bh6, Re8 Nd5 Now if ...Nxd5 then Bxd5 and White threatens the now unguarded f7 pawn with his queen and a possible mating attack. If he had moved his knight there a move earlier with his bishop still on g5, he would have lost a piece in the exchange
So to make this debate end. Nd5 is a blunder for white. Black simply captures with Nxd5. White now lost 3P of material. We can recapture in two ways. Both are losing. Number one we take the Knight on d5. Then black captures our Bishop on g5 and is comfortable up a knight. Second way is that we play Bxe7 in which case Black will save his Knight by recapturing (Ndxe7). Play an easy developing move like Ne2 and continue the game. Have an eye on your weak bishop which "could" be a target if Black manages to pull of a discovered attack. If you think I am wrong, feel free to build up the position and analyze a little bit more. Because I am not. Here are the moves in a simple way (1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Ndxe7. Black is up 3 points. 1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxd5 Bxg5. Black is up 3 Points. Pawn recapture aint working for the same reason.) Please ignore any typos. English isnt my first language and it is 3am right now.
Nd5 is bad move becoz white can capture your Bishop in next move or if we take there bishop then they can recapture with there N which is in d5 so White is 3 points advantage ( Knight and bishop both have 3points) And this is so simple that white will find it so no tactic just simple move and white agains material advantage
Nd5 Nxd5 White have to capture bishop at e7 qxe7 exd5 end of the line black knight is attacked but knight can just move away Na5 threatening the white bishop then be b3 N*b3 a*b3 position is equal Otherwise exd5 bishop takes bishop black is piece up.
Yes, nd5 always loses a piece with a perfect play but not because of obvious bxe7, nxe7, that would be stupid. After nd5, nxd5, white's best move isn't taking on e7 but instead taking the knight on d5 with a pawn attacking the second knight on c6. If black here takes the bishop on g5, he loses a second knight on c6, takes the pawn and is only a pawn up (black's still better but not drastically). He needs to play the correct move nd4 - attacking a queen on f3 (with check). White needs to move the queen to d1 and loses a bishop on c5. In all variations black is better, so yes, nd5 is a bad move, but there is a possibility for white to be only pawn down if black miscalculates.
Nd5 is a bad move ...Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Nxe7 and black is a piece up ...Nxd5 2. exd5 Nd4 threatens Queen and threatens Nxc2 forking the King and Rook, and if the Queen moves to protect c2 then White loses the Bishop. ...Nxd5 2. Bxd5 Nd4 same as above
Nd5 is blunder?? Bcus of Nxd5-Bxe7 Ndxe7 black up a piece Then if white not to take Bxe7. Black move exd5-Nd4! attacking the Queen on f3. now if black takes Bxe7 then white Nxf3 check then win a queen. or Nd5-Nxd5 exd5-Nd4 Qd1-Bxg5 then black win a bishop. Pilipinas lang SAKALAM🇵🇭
Best way to learn tactics is to just do puzzles. Don't worry about calculating too much. Take your best guess and move on. Over and over again. Hundreds of times a day. Every day. Don't worry about your puzzle ELO just keep going. Just grind those puzzles.
Also go back over the puzzle and understand the pattern. Then take ten seconds and don't do anything don't think about it . Research shows that after learning something you should take 10 seconds approx and somehow the brain better remembers what you have learnt because if you continue on without the break it can easily not process that and forget it or it becomes hazy. So say you were learning smother mate or the Greek sacrifice you basically go over the pattern slowly then once you feel you have grasped it you simply just sit there and stare at the wall or whatever and somehow that break helps in the learning process on a biological level. Thought I should add that to you already good advice
@@darrylkassle361 don't even bother trying to understand. You'll understand more quickly if you don't waste your time trying to understand. Think of chess as navigating a big city. Go many places every day and eventually you'll know the city like the back of your hand. Just grind like any other videogame.
That is terrible advice. You have to calculate ahead. At first it will take a lot of time (10 minutes is not out of the question), but then next time you see a similar position, you will be able to calculate faster. What do you think GMs are doing when they're spending 18 minutes on a move? They're calculating ahead
@@staspanteleev7595 No you need to see the board in it's entirety before you can make plans. Tactics builds psychomotor math processing units for each square in your brain so you have a full accounting of the facts. When you start chess, your vision is blurry. Tactics gives you complete focus. Fast.
@@walterbrownstone8017 you can't rely on pattern recognition and instinct to win every game. Calculation and visualization are both key to improving (especially OTB).
Line 1 Nd5 d6 Nxf6 Bxf6 Bxf6 Qe8 win piece Line 2 Nd5 Nxd5 exd5 Bxg5 lost for white Line 3 Nd5 Nxd5 Bxe7 Qxe7 Bxd5 may be equal whit might be better okay Line 4 Nd5 Nxd5 Bxe7 Nxe7 down piece lost for white. Conclusion Horrible move

Nd5 is a good move because you Black can either ignore it the bad move or take the piece good move, then white bishop takes black bishop making black queen threatened so queen takes white bishop and then white pawn on e4 takes black night on d5 making it equal but also setting back black because white has more pieces developed.
1.Nd5 is a blunder,because after 1...Nxd5 2.Bxe7 we have Nxe7 winning a piece.
@@derektoyne2729 it's not a blunder. But it isn't the best move. Its a mistake or inaccuracy most likely. Also, Nxe7 is not a thing.
If White loses a piece surely it's a blunder. After 1...Nxd5 2. Bxe7 we have ...Ndxe7 or 2.Bh6 Nf6 and again black is winning. If you have another line I would like to see it!
Great stuff.
Is there any course for improving calculation.
Thanks for asking. Sure. You can checkout Igor's famous course about Calculation here.

Spasibo!
wow, this is a fantastic video tbh.
There's a good Ben Finegold UA-cam video on "The Reason People Don't Get Better At Chess According to Ben Finegold" he shows a Wing Gambit where GM Shirazi blunders a rook in six moves v IM Jon Peters.
thank you
Nd5 is terrible, because black Knight on c6 can simply go to d4, threatening queen on f3 to retreat. Then Knight on f6 takes d4 knight, white bishop takes that, then e7 black bishop takes white g5 bishop, and white has lost a piece, and position. Unless I’m missing something.
If white knight jumps to f6 knight, to check king, black bishop takes, then white bishop takes, then black d4 knight takes f3 queen, white bishop takes black queen, then rook takes that bishop, and white again is at disadvantage.
Nd5 is a good move because it is defended by 2 white pieces and attacking 2 black pieces including a possible check!
No. It looses a piece (white) for white. The line is→
Nd5, Nxd5; Bxd5, Bxg5 looses a bispo for free.
or,
Nd5, Nxd5; Bxe7, Ndxe7 also looses the bishop....
@@rommansiddique5954 I must be looking at a different game!
The way I saw Nd5:
…Nxd5 Bxe7 (can’t play exd5 now because of Bxg5) …Qxe7 exd5
But then there’s …Nb4 which is a threat, so, maybe Nd5 shouldn’t be played
If Nxd5, Bxe7 you don't play Qxe7 as black but rather play Nxe7 (remember black captured on d5 with a knight which can move back to e7), this way there is no exd5 and win a piece.
(Nd5, Nxd5, Bxe7, Nxe7)
If Nxd5 and then exd5 (removing the defender of the black bishop), you have Nd5 hitting the queen, and you can capture whites bishop. In this line if white tries to take the bishop on e7, you first take the white queen with check
(Nd5, Nxd5, exd5, Nd5, Bxe7, Nxf3+, gxf3, Qxe7)
I think its a bad move: Im confused from those hyroglyphs in the comments and what they are saying i hope i have the same result: Black Horse can move to D4 threatning the queen.
If white Horse from D5 Engades and checks, you take with Bishop, then if he attacks with his bishop you ignore and take his queen and check him, he has to take your horse and u take his bishop getting queen, bishop and horse for horse and bishop.
If white Bishop Engades you ignore and take his queen and check resulting in the same
If white Queen engades you can get the advantage if ur black horse from D4 forks enemy king and rook.
Are you with me or am i completely off?
Yes, it's a bad move. It looses a piece (Bishop) for white. The line is→
Nd5, Nxd5; Bxd5, Bxg5 looses a bispo for free.
or,
Nd5, Nxd5; Bxe7, Ndxe7 also looses the bishop....
it depends if we develop our knight to f5 and black takes it we take the bishop threaten queen he takes the bishop then we take the knight if hes not taking the knight he loses a bishop
Nd5 is maybe not a good move. As it can opponent's knight on a good square, giving threat for capturing rook by fork.and u have to block ur light squared bishop with ur pawn if you don't want to lose material. And blocking bishop's important diagonal is not good for white maybe.
The first two moves I should be looking at are 1.Q×B and 1.B×N. The first one is a wash. The second one wins a peice. Why the discrepancy? In both cases white starts out with a capture. In the second case white starts out with a capture and ends with a capture. OK, in the first case he is sucking the knight to a safe square. In the second, remove the guard case, he is sucking the bishop to a covered square. Does the following rule fit?: A stasis sac is good for two moves. He attacks the queen, you ignore it----capture, capture. His move, but the situation on the board is one of equal jeopardy.
Should read 'capture, capture, capture'.
Nd5 is a mistake! Because: Black plays Nxd5, White Bishop is hanging
If white just take the bishop Bxe7, use knight on d5xe7, and you are up 1 piece. The best white defence will be exd5 (plan to take c6), but still fails to Nd4(pressure to queen and check fork).
Puzzle solution:
Bf6 Re1 g4
And after you play g5
If the knight moves there's mate so you're gonna win a piece
The queen cannot defend because the rook blocks his way
Thanks and have a nice day
Sir why you aren't come to India for participating in 44th Chess Olympaid in Chennai 2022?, Please come next year sir
Horses are Blocked and pinned, better to move rock to middle push senter pawn to add pressure, attack with right pawn storm, kill of horses in counter play and mate with bishop queen combo.
Nd5 is a bad move,since Nxd5,Bxe7,and if Nxe7,(instead of Qxe7),then Bxd5,Nxd5 and exd5 leads to doubled pawns on the d file
Surely after BxBe7 then Nd5xBe7 not Nc6xBe7 no longer having a hanging N. I’m a novice so I’m probably missing something lol
Nd5 is a bad move, but not for the reason you gave. Because after Nd5, Bxe7, Black will play Nd5xe7 (instead of Nc6xe7)and Black will be a piece up.
No, Nd5 is not good because of the following variation: .
1. Nd5, Nxd5;, exd5 (otherwise Black will play Bxg5), 2. Nd4 winning the White bishop on g5 because if 2...Bxe7 then Black plays 3. Nxf3+ followed by 4. Qxe7 and White has a huge material advantage.
Bxd5 is not a thing. Because the knight moved to e7.
2:20 I'm simply not fast enough at calculation 🙃
Nd5 loses to Nxd5, because Bxe7 can be met with Nxe7, while Bxd5 can be met with Bxg5.
I saw it because danger levels if they take the queen i take their queen then they take then i take so im up a knight now
Niced move..
Bishop takes Knight is very obvious straight away as white gains two pieces to blacks one.
I find it astonishing that any half decent player could miss it.
@@rustyhighlander786 don't say that bro, just be logical
I believe Nd5 is a good move. If black does not capture that Knight on d5 than we simply win material, thus the only good move for black is Nxd5. This looks like we lose a bishop but after Bxd5 and Bxg5, we can create a strong attack on the king side which has a weaker pawn structure, and with the Knight no longer on the king side to help and blacks light square bishop blocked in still, white can shift momentum easily. I was personally calculating a Bishop sacrafice on C6. After black plays Bxg5, white plays Bxc6, black will recapture with a pawn, to which we can play Qg3, forking the bishop and pawn. Although we cannot immediately take advantage, while they bring their queen knight to the king side to aid in the defense and develop their light square bishop, you can play Nf3 to now full pressure both the pawn, and the bishop and set your self up to castle and connect rooks. Unleashing a scary king side attack. Let me know your thoughts!
After you pin the bishop and pawn, black will simply play Bf4 attacking the queen. No good player would ever let you develop a position where you can unleash a "deadly" attack on the king
@@dranonjagaming8365alterantively, instead of forking with the queen, develop Nh3, attacking blacks dark bishop and aiding in the attack. I still believe Nd5 in the beginning leads to a winning position for white,
@@KalebCBauer not really, just look at an engine, it will show you that is a losing position
@@dranonjagaming8365 engines aren’t human
@@KalebCBauer engines are smarter
Wonderful game
Could you repeat the puzzle at the end of the video, then you don't need to pause and can get to it at the end.
Nd5 is bad because Nxd5 attacks your undefended bishop AND can take the bishop if it takes e7. So you don't get the knight back if you trade bishops. If you take the knight on d5 back with a pawn you do threaten the knight on c6. You can take it if black takes your bishop and you only lose a pawn. (Maybe Nb4 poses a threat (fork on c2), but I think you can just trade bishops and deal with that after.)
edit
Nd4 is even better, it threatens the queen with check! So if white thinks to trade the hanging bishop first (threatening the black queen) it loses a queen. You need to take this back first and then you lose the bishop!
So you need to save the queen with Qd1, the only safe square that protects from the c2 fork and you'll lose the bishop.
Probably start with Bh6 - but I am not sure how to proceed from there
Bh6, Re8
Nd5
Now if ...Nxd5 then
Bxd5 and White threatens the now unguarded f7 pawn with his queen and a possible mating attack. If he had moved his knight there a move earlier with his bishop still on g5, he would have lost a piece in the exchange
So to make this debate end. Nd5 is a blunder for white. Black simply captures with Nxd5. White now lost 3P of material. We can recapture in two ways. Both are losing. Number one we take the Knight on d5. Then black captures our Bishop on g5 and is comfortable up a knight. Second way is that we play Bxe7 in which case Black will save his Knight by recapturing (Ndxe7). Play an easy developing move like Ne2 and continue the game. Have an eye on your weak bishop which "could" be a target if Black manages to pull of a discovered attack. If you think I am wrong, feel free to build up the position and analyze a little bit more. Because I am not. Here are the moves in a simple way (1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Ndxe7. Black is up 3 points. 1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxd5 Bxg5. Black is up 3 Points. Pawn recapture aint working for the same reason.) Please ignore any typos. English isnt my first language and it is 3am right now.
Nd5 is bad move becoz white can capture your Bishop in next move or if we take there bishop then they can recapture with there N which is in d5 so White is 3 points advantage ( Knight and bishop both have 3points) And this is so simple that white will find it so no tactic just simple move and white agains material advantage
NxBe7 and the Night is now in safety
@@chemicalmedic9552 Thats what I'm saying after this black gain 1 knight and 1 dark square bishop while White only get Bishop, so black have advantage
I think Nd5, Nxd5, Bxe7, Qxe7, e5xd5 and you win tempo and kick the knight back
Qxe7 would not be the best move for black after bishop takes. Nxe7 is better for black there!
Same thing
This position is completely equal it is just better to play a developmental move. There is no tactic here. Nd5 is just a blunder.
Nd5 Nxd5
White have to capture bishop at e7 qxe7 exd5 end of the line black knight is attacked but knight can just move away Na5 threatening the white bishop then be b3 N*b3 a*b3 position is equal
Otherwise exd5 bishop takes bishop black is piece up.
Wrong.Not qxe7.Nxe7 instead.and black win a piece
Ne5 loses to Nxe5.
If Bxe2 then Nxe2; ; if Bxe5 then Bxg4; either way, Black is a piece up.
Nd5 loses to Nxd5. If Bxe7 then Nxe7; if Bxd5 then Bxg5. Your tactics are correct, but your notation is way off.
@@ToriYamazaki You're right. I typed e instead of d.
Kittyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy❤❤
Its a bad move if Nd5 then
Nd5 Nd5
ed5 Nd4
Qd1 Bg5
a material loss
Nd5 loses a piece,the black n moves twice sving it self.
I think Nd5 ist losing a piece.
E.g.
Nd5 Nxd5 // -3
Bxe7 Nxe7 // still -3
If Nd5,N×d5,B×d5,N×d5
1-Nd5, Nxd5
2-Bh6,Re8
Then Bxd5 is winning
Because black has to sacrifice his rook to avoid checkmate
Lose a pawn at the end at best. Don't move the knight!
As for white kN > d5, id say it's not a good move because it after tit for tat, the black Queen is opened up
It is a bad move bc after nd5 knight takes bishop takes bishop and now nxe7 and black wins a piece
Yes, nd5 always loses a piece with a perfect play but not because of obvious bxe7, nxe7, that would be stupid. After nd5, nxd5, white's best move isn't taking on e7 but instead taking the knight on d5 with a pawn attacking the second knight on c6. If black here takes the bishop on g5, he loses a second knight on c6, takes the pawn and is only a pawn up (black's still better but not drastically). He needs to play the correct move nd4 - attacking a queen on f3 (with check). White needs to move the queen to d1 and loses a bishop on c5. In all variations black is better, so yes, nd5 is a bad move, but there is a possibility for white to be only pawn down if black miscalculates.
Kill knight with Bishop and you get Knight and Queen for Queen or knight and bishop for bishop (thumbnail)
B. Takes Knight
Nd5 is a bad move
...Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Nxe7 and black is a piece up
...Nxd5 2. exd5 Nd4 threatens Queen and threatens Nxc2 forking the King and Rook, and if the Queen moves to protect c2 then White loses the Bishop.
...Nxd5 2. Bxd5 Nd4 same as above
10:35 "someone will post the correct solutions"
comments section = infinite wrong advice and disagreement over every move.
The only right moves are those who Arnt mistakes
you said knights befor bishops
Nd5 is bad. Calculation: Nd5 Nxd5 (Bxe7 Ndxe7 and white is down a piece) exd5 Bxd5 and white is down a piece. Both of them loses.
😉
Ng5 is bad because of miltons bumerang
It is winning move
Nd5 is blunder?? Bcus of
Nxd5-Bxe7
Ndxe7 black up a piece
Then if white not to take Bxe7.
Black move
exd5-Nd4! attacking the Queen on f3.
now if black takes Bxe7 then white Nxf3 check then win a queen. or
Nd5-Nxd5
exd5-Nd4
Qd1-Bxg5 then black win a bishop.
Pilipinas lang SAKALAM🇵🇭
I'd play bxf6 bxf6 then Nd5 and I believe white has a better position
After Bxf6 Qxf6 you can take the bishop with Qxg4 and win the game.
Nd5 is good, after black knight took it, Bh6
1. Nd4 is wrong.
Nd5 loses at least one pawn, and many active pieces will be gone.
Best way to learn tactics is to just do puzzles. Don't worry about calculating too much. Take your best guess and move on. Over and over again. Hundreds of times a day. Every day. Don't worry about your puzzle ELO just keep going. Just grind those puzzles.
Also go back over the puzzle and understand the pattern. Then take ten seconds and don't do anything don't think about it . Research shows that after learning something you should take 10 seconds approx and somehow the brain better remembers what you have learnt because if you continue on without the break it can easily not process that and forget it or it becomes hazy. So say you were learning smother mate or the Greek sacrifice you basically go over the pattern slowly then once you feel you have grasped it you simply just sit there and stare at the wall or whatever and somehow that break helps in the learning process on a biological level. Thought I should add that to you already good advice
@@darrylkassle361 don't even bother trying to understand. You'll understand more quickly if you don't waste your time trying to understand. Think of chess as navigating a big city. Go many places every day and eventually you'll know the city like the back of your hand. Just grind like any other videogame.
That is terrible advice. You have to calculate ahead. At first it will take a lot of time (10 minutes is not out of the question), but then next time you see a similar position, you will be able to calculate faster. What do you think GMs are doing when they're spending 18 minutes on a move? They're calculating ahead
@@staspanteleev7595 No you need to see the board in it's entirety before you can make plans. Tactics builds psychomotor math processing units for each square in your brain so you have a full accounting of the facts. When you start chess, your vision is blurry. Tactics gives you complete focus. Fast.
@@walterbrownstone8017 you can't rely on pattern recognition and instinct to win every game.
Calculation and visualization are both key to improving (especially OTB).
Nd5 is a blunder
Nd5 Nxd5
Bxf7 Nxf7
Black end up a piece up
Line 1 Nd5 d6 Nxf6 Bxf6 Bxf6 Qe8 win piece
Line 2 Nd5 Nxd5 exd5 Bxg5 lost for white
Line 3 Nd5 Nxd5 Bxe7 Qxe7 Bxd5 may be equal whit might be better okay
Line 4 Nd5 Nxd5 Bxe7 Nxe7 down piece lost for white.
Conclusion Horrible move
Hahhahah
No.
Wait what
Wdym
You lose a piece 😑
2 to 3 min video dragged up to 11 min ouffff
Nd5 is a terrible move
I found the move… but I didn’t calculate, it just looked like the right thing to do
fuck sake just show is the next move, I don't give a shit about spices
Don't do it hahahahaha
1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. exd5 Nd4 3. Bxe7 Nxf3+ 4. Nxf3 Qxe7 5. O-O
your meow nice sleep
to much took
Nd5 is a bad move , black will be a piece up n winning
Sorry but I am not having a great day. I made a reply but it has been refuted by someone who seems to be looking at a different game. Not helpful at all.
Bad move c6-d4 threatens f3. f3 moves d4-c2 forks king and rook. If q (f3)-d1 then d7-d6, c8-g4? black to win
