Why does rook on f5 not work?

Thanks for the games Jerry! Watching you review our games also made me realized my own mistakes in my opening. Cheers!

As I keep studying endgames, I will find more unique ways of looking at them. Let me know if you have any endgames you want me to look at!

''Have fun playing chess'' ---> most important part!

1:50 I forgot to say, that the keyboard shortcut on chess dot com is x to flip the board to see it from the opponent's view. You can also toggle between focus and non-focus mode with the z key. These two keyboard shortcuts will improve both your gameplay and your calculations/ability to zoom out during games. I'll make a video on this soon! I got a color scheme way of looking at Lucena too, so stay tuned. 4:33 That's an example of a deflection/attraction that the computer engine saw. By black giving up the knight on f6, you deflect the white queen, thus allowing your own queen to take the pawn safely on g2. Because before the sacrifice the white queen was on the g file. So black exchanges a knight for two pawns and a rook queen battery directly lined up to attack an open king. 13:01 Notice the rook is also now threatening the hanging bishop. So again, very natural for humans to make that Re8 move 13:44 Lightsquared bishops are often a little awkward in the Sicilian opening. The Sicilian Kan makes it extra awkward because there's two pawn pieces blocking the mobility to the rim.

When your dad is a chess player and your mom is a politician. Thx a lot for the video. It was quite fun to watch

For those of you who want to practice your algebraic notation: 1. Nf3 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Ng5 Nf6 4. d3 exd3 5.Bxd3 h6 6. Nxf7+ Kxf7 7. Bg6+ Kxg6 8. Qxd8 e5 9. Qxc8 Bb4+ 10. Bc2...

love you bro, keep it up

Hint: there’s beautiful pawn promotions involved.

As you can tell, I’m almost always studying knight movements and tactics! If you have any knight studies, please send my way! Always down to learn more!

I play the King's Gambit in tournaments. )

Trump definitely should have at some point..."built a wall." How you interpret that can vary. Either two Rooks as a battery, or rook/q/rook battery. Or, even a pawn wall , however you can set up a wall. Kamala should get some sort of pawn break, like, a major queenside wipe, and then has like....THREE passed pawns, (immigrants) heading for the border (promotion rank). and bad boy trump comes and sets up his Wall in front of the immigrants to keep them out. Whole time, Trump on the kingside has a passed pawn of his own, as he definiteyl needs to promote at least one pawn to a Queen, if not two promo queens, as he has multiple baby mamas. But maybe they cant be on the board at the same time, needs to trade/sacrifice a queen before promoting a next one, as he was ex wives, babymammas, etc. hmmm. i can think up more ridiculousness but lets see how ppl react to that first and how trigered they get. lol

Trump should’ve played the white pieces and Kamala black. You missed that

Do you know if either one has played chess before? If neither of them played chess before I would imagine both would play random moves and the game would likely end in a draw as neither would be able to figure out how to deliver checkmate. If either or both of them play chess then I would need to know their playing style to answer.

wouldnt e3 to h6 be mate in 2

Wow! It's like watching and actual game of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump playing chess! How cool is that? What an exciting battle! It's like they're both there in person, moving the pieces, staring each other in the face. It's Trump vs Harris! Wow!

Wow! I cannot believe this chess game predicted the 2024 Presidential Election. Wow! I've only made three predictions politically in my life and all three have come true. In either case, thank you guys for watching this channel and we will have a lot more chess content to come!

Trump just won a chess game and the election

YES TRUMP WON THE GAME!!! HOW SUITING, He also won the Election 🔥

That's awesome thinking for the first games!!!

I'm a very casual chess player and never tried to deflect before. I look forward to giving this a shot in the next applicable endgame. Thanks for the tip.

Great job man, i also got my first brilliant 3 days ago, bishop sac for a checkmate

I'm loving these beginner explains to beginner type of videos. I feel like some chess videos are just flurry of coordinates (yes, I should really learn them) or stuff like "I mean it's obvious to play like this..." This keeps it really simple and shows it too! Subbed

NOT WORKING!!!!!!

How long have you been playing spades? Double nils are successful more often than you'd think...especially against opponents who help cover it.

To expand on the point at 1:42, beyond the pawn at e6 protecting his f5 pawn, the rook at f8 and the bishop at c8 are also defenders of that pawn. So he actually really could have blocked the imminent mate with the f5 move. You see it because the computer gives no advantage to me anymore if he played that.

Chess is like fighting. Except that in the second case, the opponent hits with the chessboard in your face

JerryCricket Gaming and Chess, great content bro

Hey Jerry, I'm not great at chess, but one thing that might appeal to your martial arts background, and you may not agree, but this is how I think in chess and fighting... rather than thinking of techniques, think targets. A good boxer is looking for spaces to attack. They might use deception or work an area to create a weakness. They might target the liver, and look for openings and patterns where it is exposed. The same can be done in chess. So before you get to the board try to recognise a handful of common targets such as the pawns at the back of a pawn structure/island where you can build up a combo of pieces to attack it. And when you have more in attack than they have guarding it, you strike. This will also cause your opponent to abandon their ideas to defend against your attack. Look for undefended pieces and areas where they don't communicate, and vacant squares you can control where it's difficult for you to be moved away, or their structure must be weakened to defend. You go to the board actively looking for these targets. In my experience, there are two key moments where all players blunder, even at up to 2,000 elo... moves 12 to 14, and 16 to 20. If you have time take extra care here, and be extra watchful for these targets. Players rarely recover from these blunders.

Part one reflection of the tournament here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn3Cg35vrtyDhpo

Love to see you learning and teaching. Keep it up and let’s play again soon, my friend.

I will probably make three videos on this tournament, so definitely stay tuned!

More of this content!

good to be here! Do the puzzles man

I never saw this one back in the day... If someone released a masterpiece on that site today nobody would notice

Thats still the Ruy Lopez. But funny idea to do a white opening with black xD

Nice bro

I keep winning with Anna Cramling’s cow opening, so I will definitely make another cow video!

In a more serious note, I've been finally learning London System, so I will have a video on this soon!

Despite this setback, I ended up winning with London Opening 5 times! Also, I successfully used Anna Cramling's Cow opening! Videos to come!

That's not Cow...I play Cow regularly...You don't do bishop immidiately, but knights...

So basically it's not Anna's oppening, bc I remember when I was child I used to move that two pawns and didn't heard of Anna at that time

I will tweet Anna Cramling. Let's see if she has any thoughts on this one ;)

I learned how to stream with Zoom, so I might stream some chess games that I play on Lichess soon! Stay tuned!

I could never get my head around the King’s Gambit, so I play a lot of Queen’s Gambit, and have recently begun (trying) to play the Evan’s Gambit. Love how you turned this game around!

Those of you wondering why my king was in the center: part of what this opponent played prevented me from castling. He sacrificed a lot of pieces to keep my king central and my rooks undeveloped. He really messed me up in opening and most of midgame. However, the game ended epically in my favor!

keep the grind steady man

I played another game recently where I made two "brilliant" moves, according to the computer. However, I didn't actually capitalize on them well, so they weren't actually brilliant, but if I get a request to show them, then I will XDD

good shit man , keep grinding and you will get to that 1000 elo rating very soon !
