crazy move on 7:11 is pawn d3. if the queen takes then black's knight is unpinned; if the pawn takes you check with the bishop, and trade with the knight and now allowing queen e7; if white blocks with the bishop, black can either take the bishop or the knight with queen g5. if white goes queen to e3 then you can just go queen g5 and trade pieces.

It would actually be sick if you couldn’t break the rules even if you were in check because you’d have to prepare for it in advanced. If you can’t block check with the piece who’s turn it is, or move the king if it’s his turn, then you have to resign

MISTKAE- That's when the TYPING TIME PRESSURE kicks in-

[@wombolino2343]

I have made this mistake many times in the past. ;-) Funnily enough I realized that in the position at 2:20 if instead of giving the pointless check with Ng5, i simply drop back with Ng3 (and if they advance e4, drop the other Knight as well with Ng1), this is in practice a 70-80% winning position for white at ~1900 lichess rating. I know the engine says that position is garbage for white, but in practice black usually doesn't know how to play this at all. That way you can possibly still salvage the situation even after you blundered (not against 2000+ lichess though).

[@munteanucatalin9833]

That's very defensive play and is the hallmark of a bad startup. As black there is actually no use to play 4Knights at anything above 1500 rating because there are much, much more stronger openings.

[@00001Htheprogrammer]

This is not a mistake, it's an even +0.0 game. (Well, you can argue that white lost a 0.3 advantage, but that is significant enough to count as a "mistake"(or a "mistkae"). )

I love playing the halloween gambit against unsuspecting players in my chess club. They look at you like you're crazy, then you push all their material back and they're left with one developed knight. Stronger players will sometimes just let you capture the knight you're chasing in order to get back to development.

[@masteryashy]

Good video! I also have a challenge. You start off with martin, but everytime he blunders you go to the next bot *optional* Everytime he makes the best move you add a pawn to his army. ( start off with A and H)

[@freeman038]

I didn’t watch this video before I played Black correctly in same position of a recent game. White played Bxf7+, which surprised me a bit in the game, but then my two Centre pawns pushed his knights back and dominated the board. Now he’s in trouble and I will win material soon.

[@MegaSlapster]

Traditionally, if you don't want to gambit your pieces away, the best line is typically bb5 in the four knights game, putting pressure on the knight and forcing black to lose the opportunity to push their d pawn or compromise their pawn structure early on.

[@TheGamingG810]

The line is when black plays d3, taking with queen is the best move, but if you take with pawn, Black plays Nd4 attacking your queen, then Qh5+ is the best move and black plays g6, you might be able to catch them off-guard with Be2, but that is -2 and instead of Be2, you play Qh4.

[@ifbfmto9338]

Bc4 is not a mistake, no It’s a subpar/moderate inaccuracy but it leads to a dead equal position, whereas other moves are like +.2 or +.3 which is almost nothing anyways

[@GraemeCree]

Stockfish considers it a Book Move, which is neither here nor there. But he's clearly using the word "mistkae" in a very general sense to mean any less-than-best move, and it is that. If White allows Black to fully equalize on Move 4, I have no problem calling that a mistkae.

[@ifbfmto9338]

@@GraemeCree ok but in chess the official terminology for a slightly less than best move, is inaccuracy, not mistake A mistake is a SIGNIFICANTLY worse evaluation than the best move, an inaccuracy is a very slightly worse evaluation (which is the case here)

[@GraemeCree]

@@ifbfmto9338 I know what you mean, in fact I'm constantly irked by people who use the word "blunder" to mean "any less than perfect move", which is not what it means at all. Still, there are formal uses of words and informal uses. In a formal, technical sense, Bc4 is not a mistake, you're right. But going by the context of a video aimed at beginners, I'm inferring that he's using that he's using the word in a general sense rather than a technical one. Just like in informal, everyday speak, a chess expert would be anyone who was really great at chess, even Magnus, while in technical speak "Expert" means someone rated between 2000 and 2199. The average person might never dream that he could insult someone by calling them a chess expert, and be surprised to learn that he could. Even chess players might use the word informally sometimes. Like you might say it was a mistake for Petrosian to abandon the Petroff Defense in favor of the Sicilian in 1969, even though technically 1...c5 is not a mistake.

Four knights stand tall, their form on display, Intricate moves, in a symphony they play. A battle of wits, every move thought through, A grand opening, worthy of the view. The pawns advance, the knights take the lead, A daring display of strength and speed. A grand entrance, a round of applause, The Four Knights making their noble cause. Players in awe, with each calculated move, Strategizing, ready to improve. So let's keep playing this ancient game, With the Four Knights opening, forever the same.

“...the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.” - Sun Tzu

[@zithecus5922]

7:09 The crazy move is for black to do Pawn D3 which threatens the queen but can also be captured by the pawn White's best response is to capture it their pawn and then black will play Knight D4. # This forces the white queen to remove the pin on the knight, if they think they are sneaky and move the white queen to E3 you will notice that there is a queen, rook, king fork on c2. So instead, white's best move is to play Queen H5 check to desperately hang on. Black will play Pawn G6 to block the check. White will drop back 1 square to h4. # If Black ever for some reason decides to capture your knight on G5, just recapture it with Bishop Takes G5. Black will play c6, threatening a knight. White will capture the black knight with Pawn Takes E4. Black will capture the white knight with Pawn Takes D5.

one thing I've noticed since watching this video: taking with the knight only works in king's pawn games. in queen's pawn games, it doesn't work nearly as well, and bringing the bishop out is the correct move.
