The game is pretty fun.. what does it cost to upgrade ?
I couldn't find it on IOS 🥲
Did you develop this app Nelson?
I can,t
Is there a version for iPhone? Or any app like that?
for the avoiding checks point, just remember knights are the opposite of bishops; they change square colour every move, as well as having limited range and unblockability.
Basically, put your king on the same color square as your opponent’s knight if you don’t wanna be checked by it
To avoid getting forked by a knight, remember to put your pieces and king on different colored squares from each other - that’s the best counter for knight forks
In essence, when you’re dealing with knights you always want to keep an eye on the squares your pieces are on, since that’s what knights are all about - they’re pieces that specialize in square color play
Knights are kind of the opposite of every piece. They can attack every other piece from squares those pieces can't reach.
Hungry Horses is actually a great advertising strategy you incorporated into this video! Well done!
sadly im poor to pay for the upgrade to no ads and i have beaten the entire game in 10 mins
Sadly it’s not in App Store
I got the queen sac, knight smothered checkmate in a game for the first time yesterday. Was so excited lol.
I’ve done that 50 times in puzzles, but never see it in game.
That’s awesome! I have never been able to pull it off in a game, but I’ve gotten mated like that a few times 😬
I never had the smothered mate moments, but I had another way of rare checkmates. Its like Kd7+, the king has a rook on c8, and three pawns on c7, b7, and a7, and it mist to gi to h8. We have two connected rooks on the first horizontal, and one of them stays on a1, and we sac the rook for a pawn, and mate the king with another rook.
I hope I explained it normally, I met this mate many times in puzzles, but very rarely in real games
Your videos are SO helpful. I'm in the sort of beginner-intermediate stage, where a lot of the advanced guides seem too theoretical, and the opener tutorials are usually too rigid because the opponent plays weirdly. But the beginner videos are too basic. These videos hit that perfect sweet spot!
Same
I won using the Traxler today during a bullet game. My opponent was completely unprepared and resigned 10 moves in. They only had like 9 seconds left and I had only used 9 seconds. I got 100% accuracy and a brilliant for the knight sacrifice on g3 move. I learned it all from your channel. Thanks!
The Traxler!!! I purposely learned the Fried Liver so my friend could play the Traxler against me LOL. It was a lot of fun and leads to such a devastating and interesting position!
@@RepentInReprise I know right? It's so wild. I cross my fingers every game as black hoping white tries it. As white, I cross my fingers hoping black allows a four knights game so I can use the Halloween gambit. Again, something I learned from this channel.
A knight on the rim is grim, a knight in the corner is a gorner.
There is another important knight trick to think about: Forks. When you see pieces on the same colored squares, there may often be a potential fork. This is also an important clue for avoiding being forked yourself. One final tip is that if a piece is diagonally two squares away from another piece, even though they are on the same color, there will never be a knight fork. It’s the same idea that Nelson showed to avoid checks, just applied to forks using a little more forethought.
I can't tell you how many rook vs knight endgames I've lost to forks. The simple strategy - never put your rook on the same color square as your king- no need to calculate anything, you cannot be forked.
I've won using the Legal's Mate after seeing the idea in Peter Patzer's rapid rating climb!
In the game I actually expected bishop f7 to be mate, forgetting about the scpae route, but I soon saw the next move was mate
that sponsorship made me think it was an actual trick lol, i mean it technically was..
a knight and advertising trick at the same time
7:33 what you call the sneaky pawn grab, i call "The boomerang trick". it can also be done with other pieces like a bishop, if the bishop can grab something and in an exhange and that piece the bishop is grabbing looks defended by for intsance a pawn, if the opponent then has to do a intremezzo, capturing something, the bishop can boomerang back and take back on a piece they took.. saving the bishop from beeing captured by the pawn. I call it the boomerang as its a pices you throw out to the dogs usualy its a discovery attack, then it come back having a double meal, when they did not get time to take it.
Hey! I love this video! 👏👏 One of the bests i've ever seen in your channel! Good job!👌
Always great advice Teacher Nelson 😊 Thank you for this lesson. Hope you and yours are doing great ❤❤
Totally enjoyed the video. Great concept and exceptionally well-delivered!!!
Thank you for the hungry horses tip I've always had problems seeing the knight moves.
Great lesson, Nelson.
Great lessons and tricks, thanks!
Great video, nice perspectives
Love your channel and videos. For April Fool’s this year, you could do a puzzle with that digital timer you used in another video. But, have it be for 12 hours, go to work, sleep, etc, come back after 12 hours like nothing, “All right guys, get a chance to look at that?”
That's actually hilarious haha
Great tips!
Awesome video!!! thank you so much!! 🐎🐎🐎
Very nice!
Nelson always with useful and well done videos, hats off sir
Good video! Knights are so tricky.
Thank you for the great stuff once again, especially the trick moving the king to the knight
Very nice vid, thanks for all of it.
Knights are also worth gold when in time trouble. Opponent can't afford to think too much where the knight will land and has to watch out for lots of checks and forks.
That's gold Jerry! Gold!
The queen trap in tip 2 comes up in the Jobava London as well. I've had it many times because Queen b6 is a common move against the regular London.
Thanks for the new app, it looks fun.
great stuff
I love the knights, the knights are such a interesting and interesting piece as it can move in L’s, it can jump over other pieces, it is versatile, amongst other good factors, overall a very good piece in general. Good content. 🎉❤
Can't get over the fact that I somehow got a queen sac smothered mate just like the thumbnail in an OTB tournament
I love all your videos. I’ve learnt so much from watching them. I’ve been playing chess for about a year now, and I hear other chess players talking about “breaking open the centre” but I never really understand why, when and how. I was wonder if you make a video to explain this?
I understand that Steinitz announced mate in 28! Hyper phenominal and amazing. Way past me but fun to see, eventually. Your teaching is interesting.
Sir, this is so useful. Can you do with the other pieces as well...
The other condition to look out for in the Legall’s trap is the d5 square has to be undefended also, so if black proved his pawn to c6, or the knight to e7, that would also prevent the mate as the knight needs to get to d5 to deliver the coup-de-gras. I’ve lost track of you many games I’ve won with this trick, even against higher rated players. The nifty part is understanding the tactic so you can get here from other king pawn openings. 😊
Great vid. The queen trap (trick 2) emerges when white is playing against a caro kann in many cases as well
I found the impractical mate with 3 Knights the best intermediate teaching aid to the Bishop & Knight mate.
I’ve actually been looking for a way to get better at visualizing knight moves so Hungry Horses looks pretty interesting haha
I gotta learn that Legal's mate! Looks like a lot of fun
Trick 3 - yes! Thanks ha, didn't know that and it's great.
Pieces guide🔥🔥👍🚒
I call the sneaky pawn grab and similar situations "macrotrades" - they're usually executed so secretly that the opponents do not realize they're losing materials until the end of the match where that differences stack up.
Cool tricks
Knight can provide more resources than bishop. Smothered mate, under promotion, cover both colour squares, gr8 at outpost etc
I get that number 2 queen trap all the time of a jobava London 😄
"What I like about hungry horses" is prob that Nelson made the app lol
There's another easy way to avoid checks that I will use in long-term endgame positions. You have the 2 squares diagonally away but if you move three squares away straight away from the knight, exact same effect and if I'm playing defensively that is sometimes slightly better because you can make it very difficult for their knights to have an impact when they are in your position.
didn't knew the name of the first one and in my mind was "oh no! My queen!! Gambit"
I love my knights! They are my chess ninjas. I try to keep at least one knight for the endgame. A queen and a knight can deliver a forced mate in the corner in two or three moves.
the legals mate trap also does not work if something controls d5
Can you create those arrows in mobile?
Trick #1 is to immediately take your opponent's night so you don't have these problems :)
we did Queen Trap, it is amazing
the Na4 Queen trap was a smart idea!
1:28 Also worth noting that if they play 5…Nc6, even though the bishop is undefended, 6.Nxe5 still doesn't work, because 6…Nxe5 wins the knight and defends the bishop in one move.
Don't understand how to catch the queen in case number six "poisoned pawn". Can anybody explain?
Hungry Horse is not available on Apple devices.
Legal's trap also works with Nc6 (pedantic comment, it's not pronouced like the "legal law", I think it's "leg -gall")
With Nc6 though, you have to play h3 and if the bishop goes back to bh4, you can knight capture in the middle (still the best move). If they take the queen you got the trap. If the knight on c6 takes the knight, you can take the bishop. The difference is that with h3 pushing the bishop back, the black knight capture will not defend the bishop. It's still +2/+3 for white
I’ve lost several games where I’ve been in a strong winning position and the opponent’s knight has single handedly kicked my ass !!
Knights are most tricky for both sides at Tennison gambit
#1 why not bishop take whites queen after ta prawn take?
Every move has a price.😎☝🏻
Hungry horses not available on iOS 😢
and here I was thinking that 1. d5 in the 5th trick was the scariest in the world 😂😝
we wait for the opponent to waste a move okay i think its handy
14:12 Mit Springer auf f1, Matt gibt es keins. (if you are white and German).
The hungry horse app is so underrated, I looked at my phone and it only has under 100 downloads, I hope the video gets spread and the app gets more at it deserves. I played some of the levels and it has a cute back story and the game has many good things, I left a 5 star review.
We appreciate it. Thanks!
Hungry horses not on iOS.
I love knights. If you lose one of the bishops, the other one considerably loses value, AFAIC. This is not true regarding knights.
1:20 instead of taking the knight the black could just take the queen because of the knight on f6 which by controling the d5 square protect the king from the checkmate
1:23 Can't he just take your queen? The horsey also protects from the mate.

Was that an advertisement? It's not cool to play off a paid ad as a genuine recommendation without disclosure..
You're mental.
Is advertising an app that might help one to improve their usage of a piece really a bad thing though?
@@ashleyharris4114 Advertising is fine, but if he's being paid to say good things about an app but playing it off as if it's his own opinion it's a bit disingenuous. There are laws about doing that in Europe, but it's a decency thing. By disclosing that the suggestion was an ad spot he could regain trust through transparency.
@MattTrevett Usually people disclose that it's a paid advertisement, since that isn't said I'd be inclined to consider that he is simply promoting the game for free.
Other CZcamsrs I watch occasionally advertise something without gaining compensation for it, especially if it's a game resource that can be used for free.
