Letsplaychess.com presents Tinni vs Majnu

[gtamateur]

oh dear why play a5 and screw up everything. the normal continuation was only play a6 followed by b5

[Gricou]

At 5:12 couldn't you have played your knight to h5?

After Nh5 white plays exd6, threatening dxe7 forking queen and rook. Black cannot recapture with the pawn due to the pin by the bishop, and if the Queen takes, the knight drops.

I always appreciate it when people are brave enough to expose their errors to the world like this. I liked the analysis and the story.

how come the time spacing sucks so much for these chess videos? Moving the cursor moves it in increments of like 2-3 minutes.

I don't know dabom88. Maybe you can ask the YouTube helpdesk.
