Instead of dropping a pawn to 2c, is it a good idea to push the 3rd file pawn to 3d and move up the gold to 3c and chase back the rook this way? You have a pawn in your hand too right?

@roynuke Good question. After P-3d, if black plays P*2c, then white can then play B-3c attacking the rook. After the rook runs, then P*2d and black's pawn is dead. However, black shouldn't play P*2c after P-3d, he can just play Rx3d, or he can retreat and threaten to drop a dangling pawn with P*2d.

Wow, I think the colors of the arrows you're using look good.

I've been using transparent color in my videos, thinking it would be the best to make it look nice. But non-transparent colors and black edge looks great!!

@HIDETCHI I've always preferred the opaque arrows to the transparent arrows, and to me using a black edge makes them stand out more. The only problem with using opaque arrows is that sometimes it becomes hard to see the pieces under them.

Nice video. Explains everything well. Thank you for posting.

Hmmm, I think I'll try opaque arrows in my next video.
