u make great interesting videos. keep it up!

[flaviusjustinianus]

the move was quiet obvious and there are not much variations that can be played so i would not consider this video interessting. Netherthenless i don't now why i even bother to comment it

Bg1 is no desperado at all, it's a discovered attack.

[brucewallace2]

@schachgott I'm afraid your wrong. Bg1 is a desperado move. There is also a discovered attackas part of the move but a desperado nevertheless.

oohhh nevermind the queen gets taken by the rook now i see it..

[lazimofo90]

I am a idiot when it comes to chess but what would happend if the King takes the bishop??just educate me

[Majnu2006]

Beautiful example. Well explained.

[alexholowczak]

As soon as you said "The Bishop can't move because the Rook is lost", I immediately saw Bg1! :-)

[brucewallace2]

Well spotted but Marco couldn't see it OTB and resigned.

Egad... Should've looked deeper, eh?

A very nice lesson, Bruce.

This famous game was played in Monte Carlo in 1902. However the position is incorrect. White's queen was on d3 already, his rook was on f1. White played 36. Rf1-d1 and Black - not seeing the winning Bd4-g1 - resigned.

Thx I couldn't find the actual position and this does change things significantly.

Never resign! Good stuff.
