The checkmate from the knight moving to h6 is just so savage, I could definitely understand how even a GM could miss the possibilities there. Also thank you Antonio, about a year ago I knew almost nothing about chess but you have really helped show me the beauty of the game with your coverage of the great masters of the past and I am completely hooked at this point, cannot go a day without a battle on the 64 squares.

[@paulwal222]

I'm not that high rated, but I play 1.b3 and I have more Nh6 mates than I can count in blitz and bullet. Anytime black plays g6 I'm looking to position my knight on f5 or g4. Usually it happens whenever black fianchettos there and they trade off the bishops and my queen recaptures on b3 followed by Nh6#.

[@prateek2849]

This video was released faster than that checkmate lol

[@TheKrazyLobster]

I absolutely love the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, and I had no idea there was a chessable course available for it. Holy shit. Thank you, Antonio!

[@dthesq]

I think it's interesting when you look at this in the context of AlphaZero/stockfish games you show also. There really is something to the idea of pushing queenside pawns early on to open the diagonals rather than seeking the center first.

[@ricksanchez1732]

@@adityaattri5414 I concluded that first black would have to give up the bishop by moving to d4(?) First, THEN sacrifice the queen, THEN make a useless move, and finally be mated on the 4th move. Agad seemingly just didn't want to show the bishop sac because it does nothing more than give the 4th move.

Qg4. What's tough to find. I feel that it was the only move I was only confused when Antonio said it's mate in 4. .(I assumed it to be mate in 2. ) as to how it's mate in 4 then I saw useless sacrifices of the bishop and qween. (By black)

[@Melanogaster90]

I had a game on lichess today where my opponent played 1. b3, but it was the early e3 line. The game ended up being one of my fastest draws ever - I blundered a pawn, but then I gave up two pieces to shatter the white's kingside and go for a threefold repetition on move 16. Then I found out that as far as lichess database went, it was never a new game - in fact, there were 13 games with the exact same moves, so I guess that's what they call "a well-known drawing line".

[@carterbentley9030]

It seems that Navara didn't review Adhiban's Chessable course. This seems still part of the opening; surprising that a Grandmaster was so ill prepared.
