  • @jpschall1 I guess you can then force the knight to move by advancing your pawn to d3.

  • Good vid but I don't get this method as after you castle the king and he then takes pawn with his knight, when you move your queen or castle to challenge the horse he can just move either pawn d7 or f7 to d5 or d7 to block you from being able to take any of his pieces

    Am not seeing something or can he just do this?? Can anyone help??

  • also shit quality

    

  • @joenasio it's not to stop the advance really, it's so you can pocket the bishop in a2 (so you still are applying pressure to that famous f7

  • when im black i like having my bishop on c5 after the knight is pinned, then when he finally takes the knight i recapture with the pawn then if he captures the pawn on e5 that was formerly defended by the knight he just captured i move queen to d4 and there is a pending checkmate where i often find myself splitting white for material

  • How does moving you a pawn to a3 stop the advance on the bishop if black moves a6?

  • @koropaniwladca: Sure thing bro.

  • @ChessCholo Thanks a lot.
