      I actually won a quick game last night with a Bishop deflection as Black and was inspired to share after seeing this video just now: 1. b3 d5, 2. Bb2 Nc6, 3. g3 e5, 4. Bg2 Bf5, 5. h3 Nb4, 6. d3 e4, 7. c3 exd3? (I make the first mistake.) 8. cxb4 Bxb4+, 9. Kf1 dxe2+, 10. Qxe2+ Qe7, 11. Bxg7? Bd3, (Ironically, from my mistake until move 11, the engine says my opponent played all best moves.) 12. Qxd3?? Qe1#.

    game 1 was like
    white: aha! you fell for my trap

    stockfish: be quiet mortals, white was correct for the wrong reason. come back to me when you can see 69 moves ahead

      White wasn't even correct. It turns out that the trap didn't work at all, not becuase Black's "escape" was bad.

  • @LordSoviet
    @LordSoviet Pƙed 2 lety +45

    Pretty awesome idea especially the ones luring the rook off the back rank to create your own threat.
    Also I really enjoy these, but I caution you to delay the release of other videos on the topic to not over saturate the channel with the same idea. I think about a month between any follow-up videos would be good

  • @stantonmccain7725
    @stantonmccain7725 Pƙed 2 lety +31

    As soon as you started making these videos I've been noticing these moves in more high level games I watch get recapped. Not to mention it's such a cool strategy to actually find in your own games. Thanks for focusing on these! (:

  • @sandhya.c.nandan
    @sandhya.c.nandan Pƙed 2 lety +4

    2:34 why can’t you just block the bishop with you knight and is the bishop takes the knight you take back with you pawn. That’s probably why it was the top engine move.

    • @victordeluca7360
      @victordeluca7360 Pƙed 2 lety +1

      White can take your knight with his knight (Nxd5) instead of the bishop and then there's a lot of variations to calculate, but black is probably losing in all of them (Namely, you can't take the knight with cxd5 because then you lose the queen with Bxd5. If Be6 instead of cxd5 I'm assuming Ne7+ wins, black has to move the king and lose the bishop, at least the queen is safe but still down a piece with a pawn on d6, still losing. Also, the queen has no good square to move away to, so the knight is just going to move next and you are losing that queen). I wish the video showed this line too, though

    17:40 That is actually surprisingly common. In the opening, especially in e4 openings(which is what I play with white and is the most common first move), the e-file can often open and before the kings have castled, White plays Qe2+ and Black plays Qe7. This actually happens a lot. It is pretty cool, though, especially when it happens mid-game like this time.

    I really don't understand why it's necessary to give a check with Rook f1 in game 5. We can just give check with Knight d3 and it'll protect our Rook from being captured too. And I'm pretty sure that after that check it's a good position for black... If I'm wrong in something, please do correct me.

  • @theemathas
    @theemathas Pƙed 2 lety +2

    Important variation not discussed in game 2: Instead of Bf1, if white plays Kh2 Qg3+ Kg1 Qe1+ Bf1, then black has Qe3+ followed by Qh6, stopping the mate and winning.

  • @SuddenlySlanted
    @SuddenlySlanted Pƙed 2 lety

    17:06 black can quickly force a draw with this position though. Black can play queen takes c2 check. The white bishop can come back to block on c3, but we have the same problem so black can force repetition by going back and forth and the bishop has to keep blocking to avoid the king/rook fork on white

    • @sandheepc.3209
      @sandheepc.3209 Pƙed 2 lety

      Why should white has to block the check again using bishop? White can simply bring King to G1 or Rook to F2. No more check can be given by black and black forcefully needs to capture Rook on H7 to avoid check mate and white bishop can still capture black bishop and gain an extra piece.
