Hello, As you say you've already got 7 keys to victory so what are there? I believe Igor claims the first key is look for attacking moves. The next key is make your pieces better. I once won a game by simply asking this question. In chess there's hundreds of rules so how does Igor distile them all into 7?

10:34 the move Nd5 is a blunder, black captures the knight with his knight, and is therefore a piece up. If white takes the bishop black recaptures with the knight on d5, remaining a piece up.

[@xtraspecialj]

But there's only one black knight that can take on D5 (black's f6 Knight). If white moves to d5 and the F Knight captures it, White can retake with the E pawn or the C Bishop and there are no other pieces threatening d5 at that point. Black's E Bishop could then take White's Bishop on g5, but then you can still take Black's Knight on c6 with your pawn/Bishop from d5. I'm not sure how advantageous the Knight to d5 move would be, but I don't see it being a big disadvantage either.

[@milehighslacker4196]

@@stwong2000 The trouble is after 1.Nd5 Nxd5 2.exd5, Black has 2...Nd4 and now Black attacks the g5-Bishop twice and the White Queen once. White cannot save both Queen and Bishop and therefore loses a piece.

[@SumNoTown]

@@milehighslacker4196 Actual reason is not that Black attacks 2 pieces at once. After Nd4, White can play Bxe7, also attacking the queen. But then Black takes the queen with a check, Nxf3+, and white can't take the queen back. If the white king was, say on b1, then Nd4 wouldn't work and exd5 would indeed save white from losing a piece.

[@Amelie-b7r]

​@@xtraspecialj You would need to hate yourself to play from that position. Before black takes on g5 he would play the in between move Nd4 and threaten your queen. After something like Qd1 he takes g5. If you try and in between his move by playing Bxd7 he can take your Queen with check and can then take your Bishop on e7. GGs

[@hordechess7629]

I dare say you can make it one step simpler to find Bxf6 simply by thinking in terms of removing the defender, and the way to remove the defender is to use critical points (the bishop is attacked and defended an equal number of times and Qxg4 is an equivalent exchange) but maybe it improves the clarity to count the material captured each turn actually

[@DavidCollander]

10:36 saw the boomerang tactic of Nxd6, with an discovered attack on the bishop on g5 and if the g5 bishop decides to capture our bishop with Bxe7 we simply "boomerang" our knight back to e7 with Nxe7, and if he takes our knight, let's say with Bxd5 or exd5, then Bxg5 and we are a piece up

Ultimately it's a piece up for black

And if black moves the rook theres is still Bf6 after Bxd5, but it's +2 here If there was a knight on e2 in the position bh6 would be winning since Nd4 would be met with Nxe2 and the sequence of moves is the same.

Nd5 is a mistake! Because: Black plays Nxd5, White Bishop is hanging

[@ZeeiXev]

If white just take the bishop Bxe7, use knight on d5xe7, and you are up 1 piece. The best white defence will be exd5 (plan to take c6), but still fails to Nd4(pressure to queen and check fork).

[@KurtvonLaven0]

Nd5 loses to Nxd5, because Bxe7 can be met with Nxe7, while Bxd5 can be met with Bxg5.

[@SIKHABISWAS-ox2jt]

Nd5 is bad as black now has Nxd5 and if we just take the knight with the pawn or the bishop your own bishop is hanging thus black may take it and previously you lost 3 points on a knight but you recapture it back making an equal trade however then you loss a bishop and get absolutely nothing. Coming back Nd5 Nxd5 the other forcing move is Bxe7 capturing the bishop and if back recaptures with the queen then we recapture and it is equal but if black recaptures it with the knight we can not recapture so before we lost a knight and then a trade with bishop takes e7 and Nxe7 so we are down by 3 points thus we are losing. So underlines the reason for Knight d5 being bad (blunder maybe actually).

[@miketaf5304]

Puzzle solution: Bf6 Re1 g4 And after you play g5 If the knight moves there's mate so you're gonna win a piece The queen cannot defend because the rook blocks his way Thanks and have a nice day

[@lawrencemckeon6802]

Nd5 is terrible, because black Knight on c6 can simply go to d4, threatening queen on f3 to retreat. Then Knight on f6 takes d4 knight, white bishop takes that, then e7 black bishop takes white g5 bishop, and white has lost a piece, and position. Unless I’m missing something.

[@lawrencemckeon6802]

If white knight jumps to f6 knight, to check king, black bishop takes, then white bishop takes, then black d4 knight takes f3 queen, white bishop takes black queen, then rook takes that bishop, and white again is at disadvantage.

[@smithguitar]

The way I saw Nd5: …Nxd5 Bxe7 (can’t play exd5 now because of Bxg5) …Qxe7 exd5 But then there’s …Nb4 which is a threat, so, maybe Nd5 shouldn’t be played

[@DrLuckyMonty]

If Nxd5, Bxe7 you don't play Qxe7 as black but rather play Nxe7 (remember black captured on d5 with a knight which can move back to e7), this way there is no exd5 and win a piece. (Nd5, Nxd5, Bxe7, Nxe7) If Nxd5 and then exd5 (removing the defender of the black bishop), you have Nd5 hitting the queen, and you can capture whites bishop. In this line if white tries to take the bishop on e7, you first take the white queen with check (Nd5, Nxd5, exd5, Nd5, Bxe7, Nxf3+, gxf3, Qxe7)

[@shivanijadeja2250]

White moves bh6 black will have to move re8, then white moves nd5, black takes with knight, unguards f7 pawn, White takes knight with bishop on d5, in next move white moves qf7 and its mate..

[@jimkyle8008]

You say that in the next move White will play Qxf7 with mate to follow. You seem to assume that this will happen regardless of what Black plays. However, Black could play Bf6 blocking the White Queen's attack on f7 and there is no mate.

[@Amelie-b7r]

So to make this debate end. Nd5 is a blunder for white. Black simply captures with Nxd5. White now lost 3P of material. We can recapture in two ways. Both are losing. Number one we take the Knight on d5. Then black captures our Bishop on g5 and is comfortable up a knight. Second way is that we play Bxe7 in which case Black will save his Knight by recapturing (Ndxe7). Play an easy developing move like Ne2 and continue the game. Have an eye on your weak bishop which "could" be a target if Black manages to pull of a discovered attack. If you think I am wrong, feel free to build up the position and analyze a little bit more. Because I am not. Here are the moves in a simple way (1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Ndxe7. Black is up 3 points. 1. Nd5 Nxd5 2. Bxd5 Bxg5. Black is up 3 Points. Pawn recapture aint working for the same reason.) Please ignore any typos. English isnt my first language and it is 3am right now.

[@owengregersen9697]

Nd5 is a good move because you Black can either ignore it the bad move or take the piece good move, then white bishop takes black bishop making black queen threatened so queen takes white bishop and then white pawn on e4 takes black night on d5 making it equal but also setting back black because white has more pieces developed.

[@arthurwieczorek4894]

The first two moves I should be looking at are 1.Q×B and 1.B×N. The first one is a wash. The second one wins a peice. Why the discrepancy? In both cases white starts out with a capture. In the second case white starts out with a capture and ends with a capture. OK, in the first case he is sucking the knight to a safe square. In the second, remove the guard case, he is sucking the bishop to a covered square. Does the following rule fit?: A stasis sac is good for two moves. He attacks the queen, you ignore it----capture, capture. His move, but the situation on the board is one of equal jeopardy.

[@arthurwieczorek4894]

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Could you repeat the puzzle at the end of the video, then you don't need to pause and can get to it at the end. Nd5 is bad because Nxd5 attacks your undefended bishop AND can take the bishop if it takes e7. So you don't get the knight back if you trade bishops. If you take the knight on d5 back with a pawn you do threaten the knight on c6. You can take it if black takes your bishop and you only lose a pawn. (Maybe Nb4 poses a threat (fork on c2), but I think you can just trade bishops and deal with that after.) edit Nd4 is even better, it threatens the queen with check! So if white thinks to trade the hanging bishop first (threatening the black queen) it loses a queen. You need to take this back first and then you lose the bishop! So you need to save the queen with Qd1, the only safe square that protects from the c2 fork and you'll lose the bishop.

[@SharkBaguette23]

Kittyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy❤❤

[@KalebCBauer]

I believe Nd5 is a good move. If black does not capture that Knight on d5 than we simply win material, thus the only good move for black is Nxd5. This looks like we lose a bishop but after Bxd5 and Bxg5, we can create a strong attack on the king side which has a weaker pawn structure, and with the Knight no longer on the king side to help and blacks light square bishop blocked in still, white can shift momentum easily. I was personally calculating a Bishop sacrafice on C6. After black plays Bxg5, white plays Bxc6, black will recapture with a pawn, to which we can play Qg3, forking the bishop and pawn. Although we cannot immediately take advantage, while they bring their queen knight to the king side to aid in the defense and develop their light square bishop, you can play Nf3 to now full pressure both the pawn, and the bishop and set your self up to castle and connect rooks. Unleashing a scary king side attack. Let me know your thoughts!

Yes, nd5 always loses a piece with a perfect play but not because of obvious bxe7, nxe7, that would be stupid. After nd5, nxd5, white's best move isn't taking on e7 but instead taking the knight on d5 with a pawn attacking the second knight on c6. If black here takes the bishop on g5, he loses a second knight on c6, takes the pawn and is only a pawn up (black's still better but not drastically). He needs to play the correct move nd4 - attacking a queen on f3 (with check). White needs to move the queen to d1 and loses a bishop on c5. In all variations black is better, so yes, nd5 is a bad move, but there is a possibility for white to be only pawn down if black miscalculates.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Best way to learn tactics is to just do puzzles. Don't worry about calculating too much. Take your best guess and move on. Over and over again. Hundreds of times a day. Every day. Don't worry about your puzzle ELO just keep going. Just grind those puzzles.

[@darrylkassle361]

Also go back over the puzzle and understand the pattern. Then take ten seconds and don't do anything don't think about it . Research shows that after learning something you should take 10 seconds approx and somehow the brain better remembers what you have learnt because if you continue on without the break it can easily not process that and forget it or it becomes hazy. So say you were learning smother mate or the Greek sacrifice you basically go over the pattern slowly then once you feel you have grasped it you simply just sit there and stare at the wall or whatever and somehow that break helps in the learning process on a biological level. Thought I should add that to you already good advice

@@darrylkassle361 don't even bother trying to understand. You'll understand more quickly if you don't waste your time trying to understand. Think of chess as navigating a big city. Go many places every day and eventually you'll know the city like the back of your hand. Just grind like any other videogame.

[@staspanteleev7595]

That is terrible advice. You have to calculate ahead. At first it will take a lot of time (10 minutes is not out of the question), but then next time you see a similar position, you will be able to calculate faster. What do you think GMs are doing when they're spending 18 minutes on a move? They're calculating ahead

@@staspanteleev7595 No you need to see the board in it's entirety before you can make plans. Tactics builds psychomotor math processing units for each square in your brain so you have a full accounting of the facts. When you start chess, your vision is blurry. Tactics gives you complete focus. Fast.

​@@walterbrownstone8017 you can't rely on pattern recognition and instinct to win every game. Calculation and visualization are both key to improving (especially OTB).

[@bertrc2569]

Sorry but I am not having a great day. I made a reply but it has been refuted by someone who seems to be looking at a different game. Not helpful at all.

[@floridaman6982]

I found the move… but I didn’t calculate, it just looked like the right thing to do

[@jomelreataza7800]

Nd5 is a bad move , black will be a piece up n winning

[@bradmartin1967]

Bad move c6-d4 threatens f3. f3 moves d4-c2 forks king and rook. If q (f3)-d1 then d7-d6, c8-g4? black to win
