I know Andrea is hyperactive and ignorant, but the coaching here is also pretty trash. Correcting terminology that was used correctly more than once and antagonizing the student are two major red flags. Frame the video around Andrea if that's easier to you, but maybe Naroditsky and Hammer could coach you on coaching before you try this again.

[@huntermach7356]

They're content creator, they're suppose to create drama, and/or find ways to make the content entertaining and engaging, while at the same time making it pg. Andrea in real life is a better student and Dina is a better coach.

They are streaming ! It's for content, having FUN. Maybe you don't know what that is. They are laughing and enjoying themselves. If you want something DULL, BORING 💤 💤 Then hop over to that creep GOTHAM LEVY ROSIE 🌹

dina not into coaching, this is a one-off series to give content... its quite funny

[@Jb-ek2hs]

​@huntermach7356, whether or not content is engaging, depends on the audience. Some people enjoy content like this, while others enjoy content in which productivity and learning are the main points of focus.

[@MysteryKoshka]

Being tutored by Dina has major step on me vibes.

[@psychohist]

Andrea has a lot of sympathy for isolated pawns because she realizes how hard it is when your sister goes off to college and leaves you with _nobody to play with!_ That someone might choose that situation voluntarily is not something she wants to think about.

[@elinalundgren]

I love your dynamic, we need more Dina and Andrea collabs!!

[@mark_tapia]

Well done Dina, this is the kind of content I would love from you. You have so much chess wisdom. Although collab is fun, I would expect you to do this kind of position by yourself or with your chat.

🤣"Forget about computer, computer is trash, ok? It's like even Hans Nieman is better than computer."

[@jimhenderson6440]

This was the 25th game of the 1927 championship match between Capablanca and Alekhine. The move actually played by Alekhine was Bg4, and Dina gives a nice explanation of the ideas in the position. Capablanca then maneuvered his knight to c5, and an interesting nuance is that Alekhine played the not-so-obvious move Rc7 both to protect the pawn on b7 and also so that after the trade of bishops on g6 Black's queen is not stuck defending both the knight on d7 and the pawn on g6. Dina is an excellent teacher, and this was a great choice of a game to analyze. Alekhine, at the time leading by two games in the match, managed to draw this game en route to winning the world championship.

[@treejay818]

When is Dina going to recap the last world champion game???

[@poravnac]

They were both world champions.

[@misomiso8228]

Can we have a list of all the different Pawn Structures please? Would be helpful.

[@di380]

Capablanca was besties with Kasparov they used to play friendly chess matches on his private island 🤣

[@richlight]

You are a pretty good teacher. Very knowledgeable. I have misunderstood the term isolated pawn until today. Or well I was taught wrong by ... whichever person I learned it from. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[@TSH-sx3ec]

Andrea is definitely a personality hire

[@mrdoriangrey3684]

[@behy282007]

Wow! Brilliant!! At last, we heard something about real chess. I wish more grandmasters would do this.

[@scottpatrick8645]

The problem is Dina keeps talking about isolated poons, not even Magnus knows what those are.

[@LesgoBrandon7]

I love the way you say "pawns".

[@lmdevelopercanada3738]

amazing!

[@usageunit]

1:17 I thought she said Capablanca played Castro 😆

[@Zamppa86]

Today I learned that Alekhine played Kasparov :D But in all honesty...Andrea's whole repertoire of 'content' is basically around chess so I would assume she knew atleast the basics...Meaning who have been world champions and atleast roughly when. It's basic commong knowledge that Steinitz was the first champion who was then followed by Lasker, Capablanca and then Alekhine.

[@stephenarrigo5679]

Ummm...Am I wrong?...An isolated pawn is one with no like pawns on either adjacent like file whether it can move forward or not...She was referencing a backward pawn, correct?

[@swewunna]

It's not fair to ask them as far back as that. They won't know anybody before Kasparov.

[@eklektikTubb]

I think you got it wrong. According to wikipedia, an isolated pawn is a pawn that has no friendly pawn on an adjacent file. That is all. It doesnt say "isolated pawn is the one that is on the open file and it cannot move forward because there is opponent pawn", whatever that means. 🤔

[@andrerodrigues2877]

internet rule number 1:Don't trust wikipedia

[@eklektikTubb]

@@andrerodrigues2877 Oh really? And what source i should trust?

[@arrowofkira5658]

I think the main difference we should understand from what dina said was that even tho you could technically call both an isolated pawn, one of them is actually easier to attack and to win. And there's where the difference between an isolated pawn and an isolated pawn on an open/semi open file is important.

[@psychohist]

I think maybe the cognate Russian term has Dina's meaning. In the US, a pawn can be isolated and passed - be two things at the same time, as Dina puts it.

[@eklektikTubb]

@@arrowofkira5658 Yes, but isolated pawn on an open file is also something that wikipedia disagree with. It says "An open file in chess is a file with NO PAWNS of either color on it." Obviously, there cannot be an isolated pawn on file with no pawns on it. As for semi open-file, that is defined as a file with pawns of only one color. Dina's sentence "isolated pawn is the one that is on the open (or semi-open) file and it cannot move forward because THERE IS OPPONENT´S pawn" doesnt make sense either, because one color literally means there is NO opponent´s pawn on that file.

[@livingyourlife3130]

OMG, how, please tell me how it’s possible to think that Casablanca can play with Kasparov?

[@juandelacruz46]

Of course it is a passed pawn but Andrea is right, it is an isolated pawn.

[@SiEmG]

I love to see Dina laugh

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

And yes Andrea is correct on naming, as we use the same name for them all, and differ a good one from a bad one with add that exact adjective to it "strong/weak" "good/bad" while Dina's chess-school seem to prefer to differ a good version against a bad one directly in the name. Maybe as just an example she would like a name such as "two bishops" when it closed position or they just not good & "bishop pair" when it a good thing to have them.

/ pawns = pawn chain... - pawns = Phalanx (pawn phalanx)

[@davesmulders3931]

Isn't g6 followed by Bf5 faster? The only problem is Kh4 directly after g6. Thing is that he can do the same with this Bg4, Bh5, Bg6 idea..... if white goes Kh4 in first two moves he threatens to exchange with Kxg6 and wins the f7 pawn in the process. Oh but g5 after Kh4, Kf5, Qe6, Kg3 and still Bg6. You really calculate both options in a matter of seconds? Amazing.

[@Moxadonis]

Isolated pawn: In chess, an isolated pawn is a pawn that has no friendly pawn on an adjacent file. How can Dina be so confident, be a GM, and not know chess terms?

this was hilarious but also so helpful. i can't count how many minority attack videos i've seen and still haven't been able to execute one properly. i almost always end up (badly) pushing the centre pawns like andrea wanted to in order to get to the backwards pawn, and then i wonder where it went wrong. not a single book or video mentioned leaving the rest of the pawn structure alone. it's so obvious when you point it out, thank you!

[@CapAnson12345]

They actually ARE hanging pawns.. two pawns side by side isolated. But I see the confusion since hanging pawns also means to leave a pawn unprotected and vulnerable to capture.

Even though Andrea was slow at learning the concepts, she was correct in saying that the b pawn is an isolated pawn. Any pawn that does not have adjacent pawns is technically an isolated pawn. It is also a passed pawn. The terms are not mutually exclusive.

Why not push pawn to g-2 then bring bishop in and force trade?

[@joinpsye7045]

You'll have a double isolated pawn and your king is exposed.

[@usageunit]

I assume you mean black pushing the pawn to g6 and then Bf5, but after Bxf5 by white and gxf5 by black, Qxf5 wins a pawn, and the queen's pressure on the weak pawns and the weak king is very hard to defend. If the bishop can come to g6 then Bxg6 by white is followed by Qxg6 Qxg6 fxg6, or just fxg6 without the queen trade, and the pawns and the king are all safe.
