when i put this in rybka it said it was a draw at first but when i did it again white won but hardly. the pawn structure was whites advantage in the endgame.

[malikc6]

i just put this position in deep rybka 4 and it says this game with best play for black would draw the game.

[tatuco8]

Fantastic , very instructive...

Masterchess 7000 stockfish engine 1,8 has 1.Nd6 Bxd6 2.Qe6+ Kh8 3.Qxd6 Qxd6 4.Rxd6 Rc8 5.Rxd5 g5 6.Rd2 etc.. as a stronger line.

Hi - thankyou for all your vids - ps i just wanted to know how do you get rybka/fritz to infantly analise the position and show more than two lines of analysis - you had 16 diffrent lines at one point , mine only ever shows 2 lines no matter what engine i use, Can you help?

[PeachyKing2020]

We have comprehensive chess openings and ece encyclopedia of chess endings to train with along with nearly 5 million game database, and nearly 180,000 annotated games. We use multi-engine analysis and teach you how to configure various (400) engines to play by rating or theme. You should stop by sometime online.

I help show you how to do it solo and to pass it on or be a teacher/coach. I'm working towards an MBA in business management oneday. I want to open a coaching business someday. We will be online so just stop at the chatroom and watch the board. It is free and you can take lessons or get lectures or emails. I am consistent 2300 elo and want to be 2700+ oneday. I am thinking of setting up an organization for testing and certification of chess coaches/trainers. I have grad school to finish 1st.

i actually saw knight d6 seems even better

[phantomofthedrivein]

I thought the black queen was on A7, and so I thought N h6 check was the good move

[colourmegone]

Thanks very much. A very succinct explanation. You can use the same method to learn from books as well.

[Skynt]

Thanks for the video. Very instructional! Keep posting more!

Majnu! I wish u were my coach. I would probably reach 1800+ with ur coaching.

[samirhossain]

how can i download a chess engine for free?

let me know, thanks

[woode699]

type in fritz 11 on lime wire under all files

[PAGATY]

thanks for the vid.

I use Fritz and I try to look more at the engine in combination with understanding the board.

yuo are talking aboout a way how your brains should process to come up with that knight move. I totally agree, BUT I still can't use your tips to get better. I really try but it's hard to find good positions.

Do you have more tips or a good site where I can learn this ?

[ZeMexicanPirate]

um im no chess pro, i watched a few of your movies, your pretty good but at 4:21 around there , dosnt king HAVE to move from G8 -> F8 or else be checkmated from castle if it moves to D8?

[Trader19]

Rybka 2.3 prefers after much thought 1.Nd6 with the main line running 1...Bxd6 2.Qxe6+ Kh8 3.Qxd6 Qa5 4.c3 Re8 5.Re7 Qd8 6.Re3! +-

[whatheup2]

Great to address a now widely known technique used to study one's own games the beneficial and proper way by using the software available today. Keep em coming Manju

[brucewallace2]

Excellent Manju and many thanks.

[kingscrusher]

Great video, and quite fundamentally important in the current age of Engines - the "Engine era" we are now in.

I think you make a very good point about not just thinking of post-mortem analysis for finding particular moves you could have played, but something more "fundamental" than that - which can apply to different positions.

[jrobichess]

Great video Majnu!

[sjakkspiller]

Good video! but it also shows how we humans prefer tactical lines as engines does....We have 2 good lines for white here.

1. 1.Ng5 Qc6 2.Qh5 Qxd7 3.Qxh7+ Kf8 4.Qh8+

2. 1.Nd6 Bxd6 2.Qe6+ Kh8 3.Qxd6 Qxd6 4.Rxd6 Rc8 5.Rxd5 g5 6.Rd2 b4 7.Kf1 Kg7

The second line safer stronger and more practical than the first line.

[Majnu2006]

Yes sjakkspiller, the second line can be found by humans if we focus on the diagonal a2-f7 and blocking the defence of e6 by placing the knight on d6. We threaten then 2.Qe6+, Kh8 3.Nf7+ Kg8 3. Nh6+ Kh8 4. Qg8 Rxg8 and Nf7 mate. A well known mate pattern that we all dream to execute one day. ;-)

So by looking at characteristics of the position, positional concepts and tactical motives we can find the right moves, without being robots like Fritz that calculate millions of moves in a few seconds.
