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.

@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.

@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 ?!

[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]

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.

[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".

[nomindchess]

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

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!
