I've bought two courses of yours today: the chess crime and the calculation skills. I am looking forward to having fun with it. Nd7 attack the rook and the rook has to go Rc6 to keep the bishop protected. Then Nb8 will fork the pieces, and the bishop will be two times attacked so it can't be guarded any more.

What happens, when an excellent course is made even better? A new degree of comparison is needed. This course was great even as it was before, but the new video instructions make it undeniably awesome! We get to have first-rate guidance to themes that are vitally important to fully understand, if we are to improve as chess players. For those of us who do have that goal in mind, Dr. Can presents a reliable method, 3-ply calculation, with which many obstacles in our path can be tackled. Now we only have to put our thinking caps on and give this marvellous course and its creator a chance to make us better players!

Thanks for making the new positions available to existing owners of your excellent course. I have really put some effort into the course as the positions are so instructive. Homework. The white rook is a bit hemmed in. 1...Nd7 White rook must protect the bishop so 2 Rc6...Nb8 forking rook and bishop so we win material.

I might be a great player in Dr. Kabadayi's book, but last Saturday I lost to a 1700+ player from a very sharp (but winning according to computer) middlegame position, with many people watching. Some calculation training certainly wouldn't hurt. P.S. In the final position I would play ...Nd7! It not just attacks the rook, but also shields the king from a potential Rb7+, which would force a rook trade. Then if White wants to keep defending the bishop, he can try Rc6, but ...Nb8! blows that away.

@advandepol7537 2 ай бұрын

Yes, thank you. Homework: The solution seems to easy to me, but it works. The knight goes to d5, and threatens the rook, which is overloaded in defending both the pawn on b4 and the bishop. The rook can go to c6 in order to still defend the bishop, but after hitting the pawn, the knight will fork both pieces. Better for the rook is to check on b7, so the rooks will be exchanged and white will have to continue with a pawn less.

Thank you. If you see a good move, look for a better one :) 1. Nd7! is the best move, but can you see the followup?

Fantastic video as always-clear, focused, and incredibly effective! For the homework, I believe the solution is Nd7, forcing the rook to c6, followed by Nb8 to fork and capture the bishop. However, I’ve been having a general issue. I’ve reviewed many of your videos and learned a lot of tactics and strategies, but during actual games, it feels like I forget everything I've learned! Even though I can solve most of the examples in your videos correctly, it just doesn’t translate to my games. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can improve? Thanks so much!

@Dr.CansClinic 2 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. Excellent answer to the hw. Your question is a complex one, and probably we need a coaching session to figure out the reasons. But generally, how often do you play high stakes otb games? What is the time format for your games? You are learning new concepts, and it is normal to initially see a drop in performance (J-shaped curve is the norm). Perhaps you should trust the process and look at the larger picture. Perhaps you need to play slower games to implement these new concepts, e.g. basic thought process checklists, etc. Are you using spaced repetition of the crucial patterns and chunks? That may also help internalize these lessons. Are you analysing your games to spot what sorts of mistakes are recurring and whether there are some basic things you keep missing?

@derweigo 2 ай бұрын

Great news. I already liked your course without the video, but I‘m sure that the video will further accelerate the learning effect. I significantly improved with accurate 3ply calculation! I wonder if you also plan a video upgrade for your Opponent‘s Last Move course.

Thanks for the lesson Home work If we look at the position we have a loose piece that is bishop which is defended by the rook also attacked by rook And we can see that rook has q square to protect his loose piece if we attack the roook that js nd5 which attack the rook Rook moves to c6 then we put more pressure on the rook by playing nxb4 In this process we win a piece But white has a resource here that is to trade the rooks after nd5 rb7 rxb7 bxb7 nxb4 and we win a pawn

Dr. Can, thank you again for an amazing video, great learning from this, you are a great teacher! Re Homework: For this one, that rook is overworked now after taking the "candy" pawn on b6... Nd5! forks the rook on b6 and the pawn on b4... only one move to save the rook while still keeping an eye on the bishop on a6: Rc6... and then Nxb4 forks the rook and bishop and white bishop is falling after already losing a pawn!

@Dr.CansClinic Ай бұрын

Thanks a lot! The problem with ...Nd5 is it allows Rb7+. Can you see a better first move for Black? How else can you hit that rook?

@brainfellow5140 Ай бұрын

@@Dr.CansClinic I think I see now... Nd7 is the other move that hits the rook, but I just didn't see the follow-through that I still end up with a fork on the two pieces after Rc6...Nb8. In my Nd5 line, I was satisfied that even if a rook trade occurred on b7, I was still winning b4 at the end of that line so that was why I preferred that line. The Nd7 line is the better line clearly though, winning a piece over a pawn.

@mikkelhansen3714 2 ай бұрын

@greatdanelegend7001 18 күн бұрын

Homework: I am seeing that the bishop is a loose piece. It is attacked by our rook and defended by the White rook. If we get rid of the White rook, we win the bishop. There are 2 knight moves that attack the rook, Nd5 and Nd7. Nd5 fails because Rb7+ forcibly trades rooks. Nd7 on the other hand covers up the rook's sideways check on the king, so Rb7 would just drop the bishop. Nd7 forces Rc6. It is the only square on the 6th rank where the rook is not attacked but still defends the bishop. But then Nb8 forks the rook and the bishop (it adds a second attacker to the bishop). Neither the rook nor the bishop can move with check or with an attack on a loose piece of ours (I guess there's Rc8 but then the knight just takes the bishop). So in short, Nd7 Rc6 Nb8 wins the bishop

First thoughts on the homework: Difficult to hold, two connected passers, pawn down. Need some trick somewhere to hold. Any forcing moves? No checks, taking the B looks really bad, Nd5 is an active move attacking the Rook. If Rc6 we happy, if Rb7+ Rxb7 Bxb7 Nxb4 and we have N vs B and outside passer with B on the right color. Looks almost as bad with the reduced tricking chances and that Knight is completely dominated. Never mind, that's even worse than the original position. Can I do this another way? Nd7, and I don't see any defense for White. Piece up against double protected passers, but no real need to evaluate much deeper, it's definitely not worse than the current position as with other moves after b5 by White all tactics are out of the position and we are much worse.
