I like short videos like this that make a specific point. I'm too busy to sit through a half hour video discussing tons of variations.

[GeniusProphecy]

@tantzer Thanks. It seems viewers have quite different perspectives regarding their preferred video length. I do prefer to produce shorter videos though. :)

So basically the message of the whole video is "put your knights on outposts where they can attack backward pawns"

Maybe push yourself a little and cover the whole game next time. At least I would appreciate that .

[GeniusProphecy]

@ANSIcode Thanks for your feedback. I will take it into consideration for future videos.

I liked his knight move. An aggressive knight can easily capitalize on an opponent's mistakes where a passive knight might cause force them to play defensively. Chess engines are somewhat frustrating sometimes.
