  • if bishop takes night Nf-e5 would pick off the bishop :D

  • i definately love these vids.lets see some super hard to spot tactics,the harder the tactic is to spot for me,the more i learn when it is discussed.thks good chess jro

  • @flybirdefly because taking with his bishop would be illegal since the white queen is there.

  • saw the fork after 30 sec... then constructed the means...

  • @flybirdefly The White queen ...

  • how is the bishop pinned???

  • I saw this b4 he said it! i feel like a winner lol

  • chess chess-master1.

  • @pipatoad Because... It's black's turn??? If you're talking about the pawn on f6, It would not have been the best move, it would have been quite a terrible move actually. In short why would I "simply" make a move that isn't game winning?

  • I saw it nice play tho
