    Finally, a video about defending! Chess lessons about attacking have become cliche that it's refreshing to see the opposite to attacking!

    Honestly, I would find an engagement position as shown after 15:00 to be fascinating. Black is slightly up on overall material but White's king is in a slightly better position as well as having two passed pawns.
    Seeing how two players of Nelson's ability handling that would be very interesting, I think.

      @wibuste Před 2 měsíci

      it's funny that I also got most of them correctly quite fast, but I'm a mess when I play my own games... I think the most important takeaway from this is that I should not bother trying to find the best attacking move in any circumstance, sometimes it's easier to defend and let the opponent make the wrong move (at least at my beginner level, this should be a winning tactic).

  • @joeyblogsy
    @joeyblogsy Před 2 měsíci +1

    Nice instructive vid but I do want to add that the only reason why stockfish recommended not retreating your rook was because of b4 Qd5. The fact that the rooks are closed off isn’t sufficient enough reason to just willy nilly give your rooks away. Had white been able to defend against b4 stockfish wouldn’t have liked it.

  • @sebastiandierks7919
    @sebastiandierks7919 Před 2 měsíci +4

    The real problem in my opinion is to identify which rules/tips apply in what situation. Because they are at times contradictory. For example you say "if you have only one move, play it quickly, even if you don't want to play it", like Qb8 stepping into a pin. However, you also say "in chess, there is almost always a second alternative" with regards to Nf3+. So when you're defending from a bad position, you have to decide whether to play quickly and likely overlook the opportunities your opponent is giving you, or you play slowly in especially critical positions when you try to avoid an obviously bad move like stepping into a pin. In the end, the better you are at calculation and visualisation, the faster you can consider all your options and then know if there's really just one option that you play quickly, or whether you may want to spend some time. But "being better at calculation" is just not a good tip, that's like saying "just be better at chess". Which would help though...

    Key takeaway: Play the position, not the opponent... unless you're flat out losing, in which case remember that you're playing against a human and humans make mistakes under time pressure.
    I've come to terms with needing to do this, but I never feel good after saving this kind of game.
