    This was so awesome. First the tactic was ok but a little dicey. Then the tactic was outright bad. Then the tactic was brilliant. All within the span of a few moves where optically the board barely changed. Really instructive stuff.

  • @chuckhanson7506

    Nice ideas!
    One observation.
    With the "middle move" check with knight, you actually had another pawn take check with knight.
    So it would've been 2 pawns for knight, still not the best.
    Thanks for the lesson.

    4:33 Even if Black doesn't move the bishop, White is still threatening 1. Nd5 Qxd2 2. Nxf7+ Kg8 Bxg7+, and after Black captures a piece and White captures the queen, White has won a pawn.
    Incidentally, if you'd like another German chess term beginning with Z to throw around (instead of "Zwangzug"), an "in between move" is also known as a "Zwischenzug".

  • @mattmiller1179
    @mattmiller1179 Před 2 lety +1

    At 3:46 you still have the in between Nxg6+, which is still down material but potentially playable and interesting since you destroy blacks pawn structure. 2 key protective pawns for a knight? I'd be tempted to do it. Especially at 1 minute games where there may not be time to figure out how to take advantage of a material difference in a weakened position.

  • @SGT_Brobaker
    @SGT_Brobaker Před 2 lety +3

    Many thanks for your great teaching videos. Your channel is one of the best I know. But what I'm thinking for a while is, what is the meaning of your white/red chess pieces in the background?

  • @tom-qj6uw
    @tom-qj6uw Před 2 lety

    @3:30 1.Nd5 is playable! After 1...Qxd2 you just play 2.Nxf6+ Bxf6 (2.... ef6: 3.Bxd2 is good for White) 3.Bxd2 is absolutely ok and perhaps slightly better for White since Black cannot win a pawn with 3.... Bxb2 4.Rb1 Bf6? (better 4... c5 !?) 5. Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.Rxb8

  • @ericm1839
    @ericm1839 Před 2 lety

    Not a necessarily hard tactic for anyone who does their puzzles, but really highlights the importance of keeping a mental note of what tactics/ideas you have. Just telling yourself "oh i have this disocovered attack on the queen which sets up a two-move attack on his queen. Realistically (in a non-bullet game) this should have forced the bishop trade which is already advantageous for you. The fact that your opponent missing it gives you a mate threat or their queen is icing on the cake.

    3:41 | here you’d make another in between move with Kxg6 check. That way you’re trading two pawns for the night then you recapture the Queen.
    Not that important but it’s a key concept if you blunder and need to save face as much as possible

    @hueycotton Před 2 lety +3

    Nelson, I've been trying to reach 1000 off my own intuition for at least 3 months. I haven't really studied openings at all, I just wing it. I also watch your videos to understand the basics. And I don't know chess annotation for shit lol
    I'm wondering if you think it's best to get passed this barrier I've hit by actually studying openings and learing chess annotation, or if it's more beneficial to learn on my own like I have been. It feels like I'm shooting myself in the foot not studying but I also want to develop my own 'chess instinct' if that makes sense.
    Signed,
    That guy stuck at 900

    • @hoodieking4901
      @hoodieking4901 Před 2 lety

      I’m not ChessVibes but I can confidently say that at your level learning theory and book moves for openings is not good. You need to learn basic opening principles such as center control, piece development, and early castling.

    • @hueycotton
      @hueycotton Před 2 lety +1

      @@hoodieking4901 So then... I shouldn't study? lol My memorization is good, so I feel confident that I can learn any opening I study. I can probably remember different variations as well. But that feels boring and uncreative. I'd much rather figure it out on my own, which is why i struggle. I'm just wondering if it's important to learn on your own, or if this game is really all about memorization.
      Also, I understand basic concepts like controlling the center, developing, and (sometimes) castling early. I mostly struggle in the middle game with blunders and overly ambitious plays. I want to be able to see these blunders/bad sacs without knowing theory, but it's really hard.
      Now that I think of it, my real question is: Should I even bother being creative if I'm struggling so much? Or should I just play/learn like everyone else?

    • @ChessVibesOfficial
      @ChessVibesOfficial  Před 2 lety +3

      Check out my series on breaking past rating levels. But the short answer is the most important thing you can do is work on not making mistakes in your games. Annotation doesn't matter right now. If you enjoy learning openings, then learn a few, if not, don't sweat it. Just try to make less and less mistakes. Good luck!

    • @hueycotton
