  • At 9:10, if the Knight played to d4, then the Bishop could capture the Knight and the Pawn on c3 would capture the Bishop. Not bad, but both sides would loose their advantages (white-Knight/black-Bishop), and we would see here a "Pawn War"

  • Nd4 would not be played at 9:10 - it would be an option if the C pawn was able to advance forward first. If the bishop was forced off B6, the pawn on A5 falls, and if the white pawn is taken on C5, then the C6 pawn falls from black. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • i love the videos. keep it up jrobi

  • @andthatsforthewin i think that black can capture with the bishop and then white loses the knight advantage

  • Opposition in this position :D

  • @8:15, why not Nd4 winning a pawn or if Bxd4, infiltrating with Kxd4?

  • Hi! I appreciate the level of commentary in the video. Can you fix the aspect ratio, though? It's distracting that the squares aren't... square.

  • I have always liked Nigel's playing! Tnx
