I'm only making ONE mistake in the game but it's the same one over and over. My mistake is that I sit down in front of a chess board.

As someone who loves putting his bishop there, this video is like watching a reel of every single time in my life I narrowly and unknowingly escaped injury or death 😅

[ragnarlothbrok]

i love the way you teach dude, straight to the point, most of such videos got me lost

[moseskamau]

I like how you explain the moves in a coherent, articulate and easy to understand mode of teaching especially for a beginner.
You're a gem Sensei.
Yes! I've definitely subscribed to your channel!

One important line is missing: White can gambit a pawn with 5. 0-0 Nxc3 6.dxc3 which is dangerous for Black if he doesn't know the refutation. If Black doesn't play 6...h6 or 6...f6 White has a strong attack. Examples:
6...Bc5? 7. Ng5! Rf8 (7...0-0 8. Qh5 h6 9. Nxf7 and Black is lost) 8. Bxf7+ Rxf7 9. Nxf7 Kxf7 10. Qd5+ winning the exchange and the game.
6...Be7 seeking to castle 7. Qd5 0-0 8. Nxe5 winning back the pawn with a good game.
6...Bd6? 7. Ng5 Rf8 or 0-0 8. Qh5 White is winning
6...Qf6? 7. Ng5 Nd8 that was the idea 8. f4. Black is in deep trouble. 8...h6? 9. Nxf7! Nxf7 10. fxe5 Qb6+ 11. Kh1 Nd8 12. Qh5+ g6 13. Qe2 plan Be3 13...Bc5? 14. Rf6 Ne6 15. Qe4 and Black doesn't survive this.
6...Qe7 doesn't look natural but is acceptable. The idea is that 7. Ng5 Nd8 8. f4 now doesn't work because of Qc5+. White can continue 7. b4 threat b5/Nxe5 7...d6 8. Ng5 Nd8 9. f4 (Qc5+ no longer possible) 9...h6 best move 10. Nf3 e4 best move 11. Nd6 c6 best move 12. Be3 d5 13. Be2 where Black is stable but White has a development advantage and plans for attack (f5-f6 and c4). The game is not over and Black has to defend carefully.
6...h6 7. Qd5 Qf6 7. Bb5 Bd6 8. Re1 Ne7 9. Qe4 c6 best move 10. Bd3 Ng6 11. h4 Bc7! (11...h5? 12. Bg5 Qe6 13. Bc4 Qg4 14. Qxg6!! fxg6 15. Nxe5 Bxe5 16. Rxe5+ Kf8 17. Rae1 Qe6 18. Bxe6 dxe6 19. Rd1 and Black is paralyzed) 12. h5 d5 13. Qe2 and now if Black doesn't have the idea to actually sacrifice the knight White is quite ok. 13...Nh4 14. Nxe5 or 13. Nf4 14. Bxf4 Qxf4 15. Nxe5.

This was very well explained but also extremely complex for me, i'll have to rewatch this for sure since i find myself in that position quite often

[pasheka]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this knowledge! 😊

[bombswabs]

You are such an articulate and easy to understand Sensei! Any chance you might do some videos of you playing against random players? Don't care if you win or lose ( pretty sure you would win most of the time) but just wanna see how you react and listen to your commentary. You have a talent of how you explain things leading slowly from the simple to the complex. Id be on board for rooting on your side for any matches you might wanna share with us. What say you?

[CST]

Audio for the moves is a couple seconds ahead of the moves themselves. Please check as it's distracting.

[banirezaie]

For me sound and picture is not sync! Is it just me?

[picmanjoe]

This was very interesting to watch. Great content, delivered well.

[omf]

[wolfdog]

[Lupinicus]

[scu-dub]

Definitely subbing excellent tutorial 🤌🏼 ✌🏽

[josephsalmonte]

I miss the centre-fork all the time. Good video, thanks 🙏

[flopasen]

i love playing four knights / italian and vienna frankenstein dracula. lots of people up to 1600 in rapid don't know how to respond to the fork and if you can defend Bxf7+ then it's a fun time

[ilhppux]

[izzojoseph]

What would be the correct move instead of bishop out

[mehdifahimkamal]

Sir, thank you for the video, would you please tell me which software did you use to demonstrate chess moves ?
