3:47 Do you always have to say "thank you" when you take a hanging piece?
@LionChess 2 күн бұрын
Just like saying "Checkmate". Optional, will make you feel good and will make the opponent feel angry. 🤣

@LionChess I always say checkmate after every move, I find that that unsettles my opponent. 😊

Yes double attack on bishop and queen but after protecting your queen you can sacrifice your dark square bishop on h6 and open up his king.
@LionChess 3 күн бұрын
Well done! A lot of players would miss the attack on the queen. First we solve that problem with something like Bf5, then we can look to attack!

This is a gem. How about positions where you simply want to calculate what variation leads to an advantageous position for you, but there are no checks, captures or attacks. How does one calculate that?
@LionChess 3 күн бұрын
The video explains Tactical calculation whereas your question is about Strategic calculation. Important to note those as different. In both, we try to calculate the best moves for both sides, but in Strategic evaluation we tend to have evaluations such as "White is slightly better" instead of as in Tactical calculation "White wins" The concept remains the same - do your best to find the best moves for both sides until you can reach an objective conclusion. Main thing to keep in mind is that most strategic calculation is only 2-3 moves long just to see who wins that small skirmish (battle over an outpost, strategic trade that affects piece activity/pawn structure, improving a bad piece, etc). It's not as "exciting", but equally as important. Your calculation should then be guided by your knowledge of chess rules and principles. A sense of direction is key when calculating. I hope that makes sense

Giveaway. As an D4 player (colle zukertort) I’ve dealt with Englund a lot. The early refutation is pretty simple to learn (bf4, bd2, nc3, rb1/nd4) but it can get tricky if they know how to refute your refutation after you play nb5, plus your position/development usually sucks. Before I learned the refutation I used to just push the pawn to e6 and make them take with either d or f pawn. I’ll try this and see how it plays. Thanks

Against the englund gambit 1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.Nf3 Qe7 4.Bf4 Qb4+ I always play 5.Nc3 but it looks like i blundered my bishop, but after Qxf4 I have the follow up 6.Nd5 forking the queen and the c7. Most of my opponents are not prepared for this line and I have a good winrate with this variation
@LionChess 10 күн бұрын

@jaybingham3711 10 күн бұрын
Often chess accommodates multiple ways to continue forward when working with a lead. So unequivocally this is a fine approach. But peeps should remember the Englund is fully refuted. And a substantially larger lead is there for the taking simply by letting (sub-1300) black wade deep into the murky waters. Go ahead and don't be afraid of this route (1:19)...let that offsides Q (re)take your b pawn. Then go Nc3. From there, black is either firing with Bb4 (+2.5!) or Nb4 (+3!). As you can see, in only five moves the Englund shows just how god awful of a gambit it truly is. By move ten, you should find yourself enjoying at least a +4 lead (with decent play). The full refutations for both Bb4/Nb4 are easily findable online. They are easy to learn...well within the capabilities of any intermediate. And it's quite fun doling out maximal punishment for this pathetic gambit.
