At 2:10 you said C4 shouldn't take F7 because the king would take him, but I thought he cant because E5 could take the king therefor being an illegal move
@nitromefreak1 No, it's not that the king will take, but that he may move to e7. Then, both the bishop on f7 and the knight on e5 will be attacked, not to mention the hanging pawn on g2.
@tatomuck18 If black moves his pawn to a6 before playing his pawn to d6, then white will move his knight onto that space. That will force black to play Bxb6, white will take back with the queen and it will be quite difficult to remove it without losing something positionally.
because, as Capablanca said, the opening is about: Rapid and effective deployment of your forces. Think about it this way: You are a general and the enemy is deploying all his forces on the battlefield, taking advantage of the terrain and space. Naturally you would want to deploy your forces at once and reduce your opponents advantage. The more pieces you got placed on good squares on the board, the more squares you control - and the more squares you control the more threats you can generate.
Right, that makes sense. SO the idea is to maximize your vantage points and moving the same piece twice in a row early on in a game is limiting yourself.

Well, if all white wants to do is win a pawn, then sure, Nxa7?! is fine. However, why settle for so little when you can play Bd2! or Be3! instead? The bishop will work its way to attack the d6 pawn, and the pressure is too much for black to hold. The monarch has nowhere to run, and we can bring in pieces as we please, with all of those Nxa7 ideas being held in reserve if necessary. It's important not to give up the initiative too soon.
After Qa4 Kd7 Bd2 Qb6 or Be3 Nf5 Black is lost too but he can shuffle around a bit and hope for a mistake of his opponent. The other lines are completly hopeless.
Of course most people, me too, prefer to resign instead to play a move like Kd7.
When knight was on e5, what was wrong with the move Nxf7? That forks both the rook and the queen, and the knight cannot be captured by the king because he is protected by the bishop on c4.

Probably not for you.
How did I get to here from watching Starcraft 2 videos? Oh well, very interesting.

@GamSterdeath You cannot skip your turn in chess. That is, it's not allowed by the rules.

at 4:19 and didnt black just move his pawn to A6 threatening whites pawn?

Is it realistic for beginners or anyone to compete against a computer?
canaan1967 1 year ago
It really helps if you would say "White" or "black" instead of "he" or "his opponent" .

It really helps if you would say "White" or "black" instead of "he" or "his opponent" and only discuss moves when actually moving.

The best move after Qa4 is Kd7. White only wins a pawn after Nxa7+ Kc7 Nb5+ Kb8.

Maybe he plans to fianchetto the bishop then castle to move the king away from the action.

I don't understand one thing in the beginning...
