[@ryanroberts1758]

I frequently fall asleep to Eric’s content. His chill demeanor, love for tea, and monotone voice make for not only great chess content, but relaxing sleeping content when needed.

[@ryanroberts1758]

Makes or make? Anyone know?

[@Manser2000]

@@ryanroberts1758 pretty sure it's make, if it was only one of these things it would definitely be makes.

[@fibetz]

@@ryanroberts1758 Imagine replacing "chill demeanor, love for tea, and monotone voice" with a single item. It might be something like "defining characteristics", so you have "his defining characteristics [make/makes] for (good content)". Since "characteristics" is plural, you should use "make". This replacement strategy works in other cases, like trying to figure out [am/are] in a sentence like "my friend, my sister, and I [am/are] going to a concert". Just replace the list with a singular noun that works, like "we". Usually if you can simplify the sentence structure, it makes deciding between verb tenses easier to sort out.

[@raphaelhudson]

The position you got was typical of what happens in the Latvian although I see the advantage , but it’s the kind of thing where in faster blitz time controls you often go wrong as black. People often make the mistake of thinking that wild gambits are good for fast chess. Generally that isn’t the case . They are good for 10 min plus chess. Because when the position is sharp you have to find the critical continuation whereas in positional chess you just have to find a good move, so openings like the Latvian and Schliemann are horrid for 3 min or 1 min chess , and still not easy to play in 10 min, even when you have the advantage . I mistakenly play the Latvian sometimes in 3 mins and usually get an advantage but just can’t handle the precarious position black is in given that time control .

Among my rating range, the Lichess DB shows that 4.Bxc6, 5.Ne5 and 6.Qh5+ is by far the most common line... and yes, Qh5+ IS a mistake, Stockfish says it's -2... the real fun starts when White continues their attack with 9.d3 Ne7 10.Bg5, because now 10...Qxb2, threatening the a1-rook. Now Black will usually play 11.Bf6 which looks crushing, protecting the a1-rook and forking the queen and the h8-rook, but unfortunately, after 11...Qc1+ White is losing the other rook. I really had fun discovering this variations :)

I don’t understand the 7:31 mate idea where white knight moves to H2 instead. Can someone please explain? Thanks!

[@lg9447]

After the Knight moves to f3 and rook takes h3 there are only 2 legal moves, either pawn takes rook leading to Bishop takes f3 mate or the Knight blocks the check but is immediately taken by the rook because the Bishop guards h2

[@curtisw0234]

While the Queen does defend the Rook in the Nxg6 line, I believe Nf6 is still the stronger move. It actually takes Stockfish a long time to realize this too but black has even more active pieces in this line which makes it particularly nasty

[@MrCostantinho]

@eric why wouldn't white take on f5 on the opening?

[@daviddelille1443]

The job of the e4 pawn is to control the centre: it attacks d5 and f5, and prevents Black from putting a pawn on e4 themself. Positional reason: once the pawn takes on f5, Black could put 2 pawns in the centre with an eventual d5, and the f5 pawn is overextended and a target for the c8 bishop. Tactical reason: an immediate e4 by Black attacks the knight which cannot make any forward moves. There is a computer line which is about equal but requires near perfect moves from both sides.

if eric finds a "funny line" you're better off resigning.

[@fredheinz1134]

The Schliemann with 3.. f5 leads to very interesting positions! Especially if white plays 4) Nc3. Black can then reply with 4... Nd4! (instead of 4... fxe). Its then hard to say whats best for white, 5) exf perhaps? Regardless, it might appear that white is better, but dont be fooled, as I have learned from past experience, black has alot of counterplay. I think even the strongest players are reluctant to take on the Schliemann with 4) Nc3, and choose the safer 4) d3 instead.

@@paulogerne611 Well yes, I just checked it with Stockfish, and it's +2 for white. But again Stockfish on a regular PC, or smartphone isn't the end all say all on openings, or even middle game. It would be neat to look at it with a Alpha Zero type computer, that has 10x the power. In my last and probably only 3 games playing e4 b5 as black I won 3 out of 3. It's definitely playable imo. I even think it's good. You're welcome to your own opinion, and so is Stockfish and any other engine. I think I've seen it before 15 or 20 years ago on playsite com. I didn't find it in any book or online site, I just started playing it last week. Now it's another pet opening.

[@paulogerne611]

@@averysbragbook Just my opinion, wanting a healthy discussion. It's a dubious opening giving one free pawn for white for nearly nothing. I don't know what's your rating is, but it's really easy to be punished. And Alpha Zero won't be the best base for an opening, since the level is completely different of ours, even of Magnus Carlsen. I think that this is a very dubious opening, but I'm not good, but if you are having fun, who am I to say otherwise? Sorry for the big text and the bad English.

[@averysbragbook]

@@paulogerne611 How many times have you played black and the c8 bishop is stuck the whole game ? It happens a lot. For example the French, Some e6 and other variations of the Sicilian, and plenty of d4 openings. Why not sac the b pawn, free the c8 bishop on the diagonal toward whites O-O, king, and free up the a8 rook on the back rank. It's all the correct compensation for a pawn, it solves 90% of blacks problems. Imo, it's perfect. Computers are dumb.

[@averysbragbook]

With the lines of attack it opens for black, you will easily be able to gain that pawn back, if not giant mating nets. Even if Stockfish is 100% correct, no human, not even Magnus finds only the right lines and refutations. Humans are very fallible after collecting b5, psychology more so, they end up playing faster and thinking less because they are rushing to win, and beat an idiot who played b5 !??
