  • I think your ending is brilliant but a bit complicated.

    Isn't Ne6 instead of Nf5 actually mate in 1.

    Given that ... Qxe6 loses to Qg7 mate...

    Excellent analysis of the entire game though.

    Rgds,

  • @pmanzh Thanks for your analysis. I love it when people provide some of their own analysis. That's what chess is all about! Ne6 looks very interesting. I must admit I didn't give it as much consideration as I perhaps ought to. It definitely wins but mate is not going to happen for a while though since Qxe6 is not forced. I found this line but have not looked at it exhaustively. Ne6! Qxf6 exf6 Nxe6. Black has lost a queen for two minor pieces and is totally lost, but Nf5 wins faster. Thanks

  • excellent game

  • @trixapete Thanks Pete. Nice to hear from you. You must be one of my first viewers on this channel and I am glad you're still following my videos. I appreciate your involvement.

  • Really a good commentary, thanks.

  • @jkor9 I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

  • @isayoldchap1 @5:37 Wouldn't the pawn move g4 instead of Bg6 be more devastating or lead to a faster checkmate?

  • really cool vid, great game!

    When watching your tactic that won the rook near the end, wouldn't Nxe6 immediately be stronger since it either wins the rook or if taken you have both bishops right in front of the black king and no way to stop the queen from joining the attack as well?

  • Very instructive =). As a rule, or set of ideas, can you state how to exploit a space advantage?

  • Thanks for the learning tool. I have been finding myself playing against space advantage vs.stronger players so this helps.

  • Excellent vid and tactics. Thanks a lot!

  • nice video and analysis,i have missed them :)

  • @isayoldchap1 : yep, I was oblivious to Qxf6

    Thank you for the reply and the amazing videos!
