[@dub-jscrub-j2762]

As a kid, I remember a chess game from one of my tournaments where I set up a long-range checkmate in one by putting my queen on B7 (as black against a short-castled king). However, I stared at the pawn on B2. The poor guy took the bait. You could see the realization though once i picked up my queen.

[@bonogiamboni4830]

That is evil. I love it.

[@danielglidewell]

One time I was put in check with a rook but I saw I could sacrifice the queen for the rook and checkmate in a few moves. So I pretended to blunder touch move on my queen and pretended to be visibly upset when he excitedly called touch move, but then after I played the following move he quickly saw that it was just going to be checkmate. He got a bit upset and stalled for a little bit, but he eventually resigned.

Such a great easy relationship Charlie and Daniel have, I love it! I hope Charlie continues to dedicate his time and effort to improving, it’s honestly so inspiring to see. I just saw a Twitch Rivals chess video posted by another streamer today, and it was so disappointing to see. Just pure mocking and superficial, and it’s no wonder the KZbin comments followed suit. We don’t need this sort of stuff, not when there’s such great material like Daniel’s being put out regularly. This channel (and the Twitch channel) has all my support and I hope others do the same.

[@jfsee525]

I’ve never played chess before so can someone please explain to me why if you pause at 6:33 moving the bishop to G5 isn’t a better play? I can’t imagine an interaction where you lose your queen and don’t take theirs, and even if you do you take an extra pawn from them? I must be missing something and I’m trying to get into the game so any help would be awesome!

[@nickt2024]

You're completely correct

[@microwavecoffee]

F6

[@TEMHOTAOKEAHA]

If white plays bishop G5 there, black takes pawn on E5 , attacking white queen and threatening a fork through capturing the C3 pawn. Trade of lots of stuff (including queens) is basically forced and you get an equal position (white actually ends up with doubled pawns).

Daniel is genuinely a great teacher. I love the chess lore he gives when examining famous games and his jokes, haha. Never thought I would be so intertained by a chess lecture.

[@madgains9130]

They discuss "tricking" students at about 45:00, but I don't think Charlie is thinking about this correctly. Danya is promoting critical thinking by forcing his students to actually think about his advice instead of blindly trusting it. It is similar in a way to the trap that some people fall into by memorising opening theory instead of understanding the principles behind an opening and developing the opening themselves. If your opponent doesn't follow the line you prepared for and plays the fourth best move in the position, you won't be able to refute their mistake if you just memorised theory. You actually have to "prove" that your opponent didn't make the best move; otherwise they did. Btw I suck at chess and fall into this trap constantly.

[@lolololololololol11]

Daniel: You were thinking about taking that h-pawn, weren't you? Charlie: No. I forgot there was even an h-file, to be honest. 😂

[@sephidude123]

Idea for Dark Heresy campaign. An imperial regicide (warhammer 40k's variation of chess) champion goes renegade and creates a cult around the idea that we are all merely pieces in a grand game played by the dark gods. He uses that knowledge to stage fights, massacres, encounters, and generally taunt the party of Inquisitorial acolytes. The party has no clue who the bad guy is, only that his MO is to leave chess pieces at fights that he's planned. Use actual moves from famous chess players to stage weakpoints and draw the party in. If they recognize taht they're now actually playing Chess in tabletop RPG form, they might play back and stage moves against the DM, of which he could respond using a response drawn up to counteract those famous moves. The endgame obviously should be staged in a way that he blunders an important piece and they capitalize on it. A rundown on how the bad guy would see the party: Inquisitor is the king the acolyte team is the queen The assets they obtain are the pawns the various military support they gain based on what it is could be assigned to rook/bishop/knight based on their roles. He will see his own forces as such: He is the king His lieutenants are his queen His elite forces are his bishops and rooks his rapid response forces are his knights, capable of deploying and dropping to eliminate key opposition as needed. Let the game begin dungeon masters. Have fun with this one.

[@ClawedAsh]

As a Chess, Warhammer, and TTRPG fan I love this

[@sephidude123]

@@ClawedAsh he just mentions a lot of famous figures for their different approaches and wins and it made me think of ravenor and eisenhorn in their exploits. Imagine a BBEG whose sole purpose is to play one massive solar system game of chess against the party. They send a strike force out to x location and it gets ambushed, a pawn fork that threatens to end the party since theres another chaos strike force in place once the party arrives to wipe them out. They recognize this as likely an ambush in waiting so they send a lone operative, an assassin to the location to investigate the ambush site and kill/capture an opposing operative who then carries on his person a single pawn regicide piece and smiles when he offs himself. The party thwarted a move that would have seen them undone. In response, they learn of a nearby bazaar that's the staging grounds for the secondary assault and the inquisitor orders his acolytes to blend in with the local militia and assault the position before they can react. This puts pressure on the bbeg, who then leaks information to the party through a series of fake informants that a unit of looted vehicles have been spotted in another system, his knight if you will. They have to then position their resources to strike down the armor depot as efficiently as possible, however, in doing so orchestrates a few adjustments to ensure that whatever the acolytes use will be either destroyed or severely hurt in a counter attack soon after. Every move has a counter play. Should be interesting for anyone who likes 40k and has a knack for chess, unlike myself.

Daniel if you really want to get the viewers you must learn the opening technique known as the “Vlogger Red-Circle” and although it can be countered with the comment play you can avoid that with a subsequent Vlogger Red Arrow. Just a tip.

[@applehack97]

then there's a really cool technique I'm gonna show you called "flashy titles".

[@musical_lolu4811]

I think the real 'weakness' (I don't think it's so much a weakness as it is a non-awareness of the possibitities) is not recognizing the power of forcing moves, and how they inform concrete calculation in EVERY position - opening, middlegame, endgame. And the value of what Charles Hertan called ESTs: Equal or Stronger Threats. In the Pin Variation the attack on Nc3 is so scary to the untrained eye you just wanna somehow get rid of it, and then you end up close to losing.

would h1 not have been a better square for the king in that endgame scenario at 21:18? prevents the rook from even checking the king without it being suicide for the piece

[@stayfocused6moremonths111]

either way black will play rook e6 so king h1 works but isnt better

[@GOmegaPHD]

6:33 how is Bishop to G5 not the best move here? He either kills the bishop with his queen or moves on the next turn, opening up for the inside checkmate right? The only way he can defend against that queen is with his own, and bishop to G5 makes him either have to open up his queen to death, or move his queen back into an unfavorable position.

Frankly, not entirely sure what you're saying since you barely used any notation (and I'm not that smart) but... Bxe4, counterattacking white's queen and threatening to win an exchange with Bxc3+. Just because your piece is attacked doesn't mean you must move your attacked piece.
