Chess World.net presents: A major reason for Falsification - to avoid becoming complacent!

[dragon91027]

Why do you give such a big suggestion? It's a Knight move. Good anyway.

[tirimoanaprimary]

crap pieces lol :)

[JezzinBrighton]

Just realised in my original not I said Nf6 instead of Nc6 :-( (obv Nf6 is not possible)

[JezzinBrighton]

Btw, I only came across your vids this evening, but what impresses me most is your willingness to share your painful mistakes! At any chess club you will find no end of players will to show you there most recent triumph, but as we all know it's an unfortunate fact that you learn far more from studying your defeats than basking in your victories! Maybe I will do the same (goodness knows I have enough material to work with lol) Best wishes Jezz

[JezzinBrighton]

I didn't even consider Nd3 or Ng4, I was only interested in Ng6 possibilities (also considered briefly Nf6 ideas and also Nf7 amazingly enough lol) Ng6 seemed ok tho with the B coming to h5 if he swapped off. But in a game I might have been more safety minded and paid more attention to Nf3 and g4 ideas. Incidently, what does your Rybka give for a continuation?

[tantzer]

I thought of Knight G6.

[kingscrusher]

With all due respect and thanks for the complements - the video was asking a specific question in order to see if the concept of "falsification" was useful or not.

Do you have any concrete analysis to present with your thinking for which knight move is best in your view?! You seemed to have described some generic aspects of handling a position with greater space, and make sure the opponent can't untangle easily. That is good but also a view shared by many is that of "minimising counterplay".

[kingscrusher]

Yet another generic concept when having more space is often not to exchange off pieces as that might leave you with weaknesses which the opponent could later exploit. These are all general considerations and patterns, but really the video was after some concrete analysis with the concept of "falsification" being tested.

[nomindchess]

thank you for elaborating. your remarks are appreciated and were helpful!

[nomindchess]

Hello, I am quite intrigued by your statement "GM's calculate < Masters." I am 1500 and don't know what you mean. Is it due to there pattern recognition or the "feel" of the position enabling them to pass over certain tactics? Please be so kind as to elaborate? Thank!

[ChessNetwork]

I thought for a bit and came up with Nd3 as well. =)

[Nola213]

Yea First thing that jumped out at me was Knight C6 check as well Tsuking.

I would like to see KC look at that and analize what could become of that move.

For all I know it's a horrible move, *shrug*

[heraclitus44]

I'm not certain what is meant by falsification. Do you only mean that you are deluding yourself into making or believing that a certain move is a good move?

I came up with g4 for the knight but didn't think that the rook would come out to snag the pawn. That move I saw as a falsification.

Thx for the vid KC. You are a very good player and I only wish that I could hear you better on your videos.

[heraclitus44]

After the knight to g4, I saw the knight taking black's pawn to allow white's dark bishop to make the fork.

[TsuKing]

oops i meant knight C6 check! :)

[TsuKing]

I liked knight c3 check, or knight g6 but you didn't even talk about those :)

I thought knight c3 check would be the most fun. Forcing him to take with the knight or lose the exchange. Then you take the knight with your pawn. If queen takes pawn it's checkmate. If pawn takes pawn, he broke his king position. If his rook takes your rook, take it back, threatening checkmate if he moved his queen. And still the menacing pawn on C6

So more threats, thus more fun :P

[kingscrusher]

@SuperWorldwide23 I think you need to just check out the specifics of the position, rather than try and rely on generalisations as much. Although I appreciate what you are saying, that maybe the White king is a little weaker on he Q-side than usual. But a more dominant theme I think is to extend the b2 bishop in this particular position. But in a safe way without being blown to bits like I was!

[dropkicktype]

I think it's sometimes hard to be willing to falsify your own ideas--it's hard to play energetically and still be objective about my own position. It feels like sooner or later the weight of my own self-doubt crushes any confidence I might have had that would be necessary to find the good moves to beat my opponent. I suppose, in a way, the best players in the world manage to keep their confidence because they know they can falsify ideas (both their own and their opponents') better than most.

[kingscrusher]

@dropkicktype yes I think actualy I prefer the notion of being slightly "cynical" rather than trying to "falsify" my own ideas, which seems rather negative and kind of self-doubting. Being cynical is perhaps more on the positive side, but having some room for doubt so you can check out if there are horrid resources etc the opponent might spring on you.

[dropkicktype]

@kingscrusher

Woot. Thanks for the reply KC. Not to be too embarrassing about it, but I find myself thinking about TCC outside of chess. lol

Merry Christmas.

[kingscrusher]

Sorry what is TCC ?!

[dropkicktype]

@kingscrusher

Trust, catch-up, and cynicism silly.

Yes, people watch your videos and remember them. :D

[dreamtheater39]

ouch! i came up with the same move that had you made! :D my reasoning was, that it would prevent any knight moves from black...

the position looks deceptively strong for white for it to be undone so quickly and easily!

[Ruxistico]

nice vid!

[mrKreuzfeld]

I mainly looked at dxe3, fxe4, Bxe4, all in the spirit of making the a pawn a monster pawn. the falsification was Be3, where I thought I might play Re3 or move the bishop back with 2 pawns for bishop, and the a pawn as a potential monster

[MrFedel]

at 5:36, you showed Bd7 even though it seems Rxe1 followed by the "h" rook moving would result in black just being up a pawn.

[Omeeeeed]

Thx =]

[ILOVEYOURWAY1]

Nd3

[jewbinson]

You don't consider Ng6, but that was my main move because if Nxg6 hxg6 Rxa1 Rxa1 Qxg6 Bh5 Qh7 Bf3 Qg8 and white has a nice position and can liberate quickly, maybe with e5. Any credit?

[gologram]

why dc,not cd to keep pawn chain intact?

[LJonathan]

Here I thought you would recommend Nf7, because of your previous videos where you talk about distraction of resources. Of course, I don't see any immediate threat by doing that.
