    I've seen the tactic "opponent captures your piece which is just hanging" thousands of times, but I don't seem to have truly learned it yet.

    31:15: bishop d3 is an insane move to me. I guess if you spend a long time thinking about how to still make the knight sacrifice work, you can notice the king - queen alignment after the king moves to d8 to get out of check and build from there? But the full board geometry vision that's required 4 moves ahead is nuts

    27:05 i saw a video where Rosen got the Ne3 tactic in a blitz game, but the position was a little different. after Ng4, his opponent played Ngf3, and Rosen included Be7 to make the tactic still work after h3 (which his opponent played)

    I *love* the original Danish Gambit opening (about 13:40 or so). There's so few pieces, the board's super open, and it just seems *clean*.

    I am a newly regular player as of early this year and have greatly enjoyed your channel. While it took me staring at the position for 10-15 min, I eventually did find Qc7 and calculated all variations leading to mate. Thank you for teaching and inspiring me.

    21:47 ahhh, the good old Lasker trap, always a joy :)
    PS. Lasker also found the 4.a3 move that is totally my choice as a Queen's Gambit player because it prevents all those pesky variations that make the Albin Countergambit so unleasant

    Actually Ben didn't explain very well how to get good at tactics: First you need to be able to quickly identify forcing moves for which opponent has very few replies. Then calculate all variations a few moves ahead, till all tension in position gets resolved. Then evaluate position and if you end up with material or positional gain, then you have found winning combination.

    I notice that the board has these differently colored squares and the squares are differently numbered and the pieces move differently and sometimes everything I just said gets ignored.

    I'm pretty sure the Fireside Book of Chess gave the names of the players in the Nd2 game. Doesn't mean the game really happened, but I could see a strong player sleepwalking in that position, thinking nothing was happening yet.

      With a little bit of carving skills, you could take the rook and remove some material to make it look like a horse.

    @kamilhorvat8290 4 місяці тому

    IMHO Ben should first explain what does it mean to "understand chess position" . That is relations between pieces on the board. Some of them are defending each other, attacking each other etc. With that, it's much easier to look for patterns which can result in tactics, at least for me.
    On the other hand, if you "don't understand the position" , then you you most likely won't be able to find correct move.

    Thanks Ben, for this video and for (formerly not-known-as) part 1. I can't wait until your next video.
    This was very helpful; I know these tactics, but as you say, I need to get stronger and quicker at recognising them as they arise in different situations and positions, so I can then exploit them as needed when needed.
    I loved how you showed the game that Dina played the other day (was the day before at the time you recorded this video).
    I also loved watching you play against her in a casual game a couple of weeks ago; linking here for others interested to see: ua-cam.com/video/elLPLLGOWoc/v-deo.html
    Later today I will watch this instructional video between you and Dina, since 1. d4 has ALWAYS been my favourite white opening: ua-cam.com/video/Ccd8w_Oai6I/v-deo.html

    Would prefer 1850-2100+ material, I know most of your students are within a certain range but when you're on UA-cam anyone of any range can be watching including those well versed in basic tactics, what you refer to as "intermediate".
    That said it must be noted it can't hurt to stay sharp, thank you for your time Ben!

    "You can't let somebody play knight takes rook in the opening."
    I used to routinely let people play bishop takes rook in the Giuoco Piano. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4 exd4 6. cxd4 Bb4+ 7. Nc3 Nxe4 8. O-O Nxc3 9. bxc3 Bxc3 10. Ba3 Bxa1 and white is pretty much winning. But that's not knight takes rook and it's totally different, so there's that. lol

    • @fallintoadream

      The principle is not too complicated, always sacrifice the exchange but never let your opponent take your rook with their minor piece.
