  • Nasty.

  • nice game

  • @lxx33 White takes the pawn on b6 with the knight to open the battery (multiple pieces attacking down a file or a diagonal) on f7, which directly threatens the black king. Hope this helps.

  • in response to your first question: notice that if he takes the knight with the pawn then white recaptures with the bishop black has no way of saving his rook trapped on A8.

    Second question: similar to what happened in the actual game if Rxg8 then dxc6+ notice that the queen is now attacking the rook as part of a reveled attack. after either Qxc6 or Kxc6 Qxg8 wins the exchange.

  • Hi, I'm new to chess but cannot figure out one move by white.

    Why at one point does the white Knight (0:56 seconds) takes a pawn. Isn't the Knight so more powerfull than the pawn on b6?

    Other question is why at 1:25 the black rook at H8 does not take the white Bishop at G8

    thx in advance for your reply :) ;)
