      But not true. Maybe sometimes psychologically, but usually being punched is worse than being threatened with a punch. Id rather say a threat is only as strong as its potential execution. If I am not scared of the execution a threat wouldnt bother me at all. Id probably dare you to go through with the threat.

      @@nostalji75 You realize that this famous quote (by grandmaster Tartakover I believe) is about chess and not life itself, right?
      And it's very true, a famous example is a bishop pinning a knight which happens all the time in chess, most of the time you don't want to actually take the bishop (one reason is that bishops are considered a bit stronger than knights in general) but to keep the pin as long as possible. In most cases that's way more annoying for the opponent than immediately taking it

      But still. Executing chess mate its certainly "stronger" than threatening it. I can see the value in keeping up threats as a strategy, But as a general truth even only for chess? Than the statement is simply not always true, I think it rarely is.

    0:30 in this position, there is a line that i play often if the opponent plays 4...Bc5
    5.b4 Bb6 6.b5 Na5 7.Bxf7+!! Kxf7 8.Ne5+ and after 8...Ke8 there is a checkmate in a few moves. The line is not forced, there are several ways for black to avoid it, but once you hit them with the bishop sacrifice you already have a nice practical advantage, especially if they take it.

      You just need to know more than them (which is not a lot tbh). Im 1600 lichess and I like to play the deutz gambit against the standard italian and the Lolli attack against 2 knights defense. Lolli attack is basically a 10x better version of fried liver from the exact same position.
      No one knows any theory and usually they blunder the second they see an unusual move.
      The key at lower ratings is to just play some lesser known opening or gambits. You just have to understand the key idead of said openings yourself.

    0:40: Yes you should worry about defending that pawn in the italian. In the spanish (3. Bb5) it's just part of the game to let the e pawn be hanging for a move ( via 0-0 and the follow up with the main Re1, c3,d4 idea), but in the italian it's a different story. Generally speaking after blacks Nxe4, black often has the powerful move d5 kicking the white bishop (often equalizing or beeing already better), while in the spanish, the white bishop is somewhere chillin on b3 or a4 and blacks counter d5 doesn't come with the same punch

    Anything's better than the Ruy. "You put this bishop here because it creates a threat that's not a threat, and then you soon have to move it again while everyone plays 30 memorized moves."

    • @simonbelte
      @simonbelte Před měsícem +1

      Yeah that's definetly one way to see the ruy xD. But you can also see it this way: In the italian black at some point often has the idea d5 to equalize, even if you go by the main white idea of creating the sweet center with c4, d4 and it's often not so great for white to let your e pawn hanging (because d5 will hit the white bisop). In the ruy however letting the e pawn hanging for one move via castling is just a normal thing (because blacks argument d5 does not come with the same punch since the white bishop is chiling on a4 or b3) and you can basically push through the same main idea c3, d4 with more suffering for black. There is a reason why the ruy is the double king's pawn opening most commonly used in master play

After c3 I remember Ba5 to be blacks most common (strong) and aggressive answer, Be7 the solid and Bd6 was a dark horse suggested by a weak chess engine I was using. (Arasan). Many people played Bc5 however which I knew was a mistake actually.

    If they are obsessed with the fried liver or the hundreds of variations that one encounters and gets frustrated over, its because they are traumatized from it. Everyone from 200 to 700 plays it, and again, its 1000's of variations. Its so frustrating. Im living it now. they adapt, do it differently, wait patiently lurking in the oh shit I forgot..recesses of your brain. The very essence of "A threat is stronger than it's own execution."

  • @justsomeboyprobablydressed9579

    Grat video! The Fried Liver Attack only occurs after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7. Only after White's 6th move is it called the Fried Liver Attack. So, players of the Black pieces, don't be so afraid like she says. Just don't play 5...Nxd5. Instead play what she suggests.

    I don't like 1e4 I stopped playing it and went to 1d4 just because you don't get as much variation. 1e4 you have to face sicillians, caro's, scotch gambits, early queen nonsense, scandinavians. 1d4 you either face 2d5, or indian games mostly with london or catalan type systems. 1d4 feels more positional, and solid, e4 is more tactical and your stuff is more open it seems like. I'm only 1200 so IDK anything but that's just been my xp.
