Good video! but it also shows how we humans prefer tactical lines as engines does....We have 2 good lines for white here.

1. 1.Ng5 Qc6 2.Qh5 Qxd7 3.Qxh7+ Kf8 4.Qh8+

2. 1.Nd6 Bxd6 2.Qe6+ Kh8 3.Qxd6 Qxd6 4.Rxd6 Rc8 5.Rxd5 g5 6.Rd2 b4 7.Kf1 Kg7

The second line safer stronger and more practical than the first line.

[Majnu2006]

Yes sjakkspiller, the second line can be found by humans if we focus on the diagonal a2-f7 and blocking the defence of e6 by placing the knight on d6. We threaten then 2.Qe6+, Kh8 3.Nf7+ Kg8 3. Nh6+ Kh8 4. Qg8 Rxg8 and Nf7 mate. A well known mate pattern that we all dream to execute one day. ;-)

So by looking at characteristics of the position, positional concepts and tactical motives we can find the right moves, without being robots like Fritz that calculate millions of moves in a few seconds.

when i put this in rybka it said it was a draw at first but when i did it again white won but hardly. the pawn structure was whites advantage in the endgame.

[malikc6]

i just put this position in deep rybka 4 and it says this game with best play for black would draw the game.

Fantastic , very instructive...

Masterchess 7000 stockfish engine 1,8 has 1.Nd6 Bxd6 2.Qe6+ Kh8 3.Qxd6 Qxd6 4.Rxd6 Rc8 5.Rxd5 g5 6.Rd2 etc.. as a stronger line.

Hi - thankyou for all your vids - ps i just wanted to know how do you get rybka/fritz to infantly analise the position and show more than two lines of analysis - you had 16 diffrent lines at one point , mine only ever shows 2 lines no matter what engine i use, Can you help?

[PeachyKing2020]

We have comprehensive chess openings and ece encyclopedia of chess endings to train with along with nearly 5 million game database, and nearly 180,000 annotated games. We use multi-engine analysis and teach you how to configure various (400) engines to play by rating or theme. You should stop by sometime online.

[PeachyKing2020]

I help show you how to do it solo and to pass it on or be a teacher/coach. I'm working towards an MBA in business management oneday. I want to open a coaching business someday. We will be online so just stop at the chatroom and watch the board. It is free and you can take lessons or get lectures or emails. I am consistent 2300 elo and want to be 2700+ oneday. I am thinking of setting up an organization for testing and certification of chess coaches/trainers. I have grad school to finish 1st.

i actually saw knight d6 seems even better

[phantomofthedrivein]

I thought the black queen was on A7, and so I thought N h6 check was the good move

Thanks very much. A very succinct explanation. You can use the same method to learn from books as well.
