This is my thought to the puzzle: 1. Q*a7 if 1. ... R*a7??, 2. R*c8+ Qd8 3. R*d8+ K*d8 4. N*f7+ Ke8 5. N*h8 (white knight is not trapped and can get back to g6, so white wins a bishop and two pawns) else if 1. ... Rb8, 2. Q*b8+ N*b8 3. R*c8+ Kd7 4. R*h8 h*g5 (this line white loses a queen and a knight, wins two rooks, a biship and a pawn. Not sure if there're better way to do it) else 1. ... Nb6 I'm thinking 2. Q*b6 Q*g5 3. Qa7 R*a7 4. R*c8+ Kd7 5. R*h8 but I don't see the win. if 2. Q*a8 N*a8 3. R*c8+ Kd7 4. R*h8 h*g5 and it's similar to line 2. So I'm not sure how white can win if black respond Rb8 or Nb6
@wonderwind2716 Жыл бұрын
Oh I found the move. In line 2 we play Bb5 on move 2 and black collapse since the knight which defends the rook is being traded. In line 3, we play 2. Q*b6 h*g5 (I assume it's very bad if Q*g5) 3.Bb5+ Kf8 4. Qa7 and it transpose to similar situation as line 1. So white is winning in all the cases
@naitsirhc20659 ай бұрын
If black responds with Rb8, white pins the knight with Bb5. If black plays Nb6, white plays Q*a8 anyway and takes the rook. Because white has a rook on c1, they can win back more than enough material after they lose their queen.

The knight & bishop attack shown at 17:03 in this video is interesting, but it can be easily thwarted by Black moving his bishop back to F8. In fact, it is predicated on Black first having moved that bishop to an usual position, which allows White's bishop can take temporary control of that diaganol. Still, it's good to know if you ever allow yourself to be confronted with such an attack you need to stop it immediately.
@MyBiPolarBearMax Жыл бұрын
Bishop b2 would annihilate blacks position if they did that. they have too many holes on the black squares and literally only one piece developed. Even trading the bishops on f8 removes castling rights and lets the knight come in to d6 and get out posted with the e pawn. Black cant lose the black bishop with all his pawns on white squares and nothing developed. Itd be interesting to see the stockfish eval

No opening is perfect, but still, it has more downsides then upsides, Downsides: 1.Bxf8 removes your castling option. 2.Undevelops your only piece that was developed. 3.Takes more moves to castle. 4.Keeps the diaganal open. Upsides: 1.Stops Nd6+. 4-1 pretty bad. I would play Ne7, Nd6+ just Kf8 and white's rook is hanging, otherwise you just castle.

@eclecticexplorer782810 ай бұрын
I have been looking at this variation since this posted a couple of months ago, and it can be a very playable game with mostly the most popular moves for black being played. Black's solution to the Grand Prix Attack: First of all, black's most popular moves work for the first few moves: 1.e4 c5, 2.Nc3 Nc6, 3.f4 g6, 4.Nf3 Bg7, 5.Bb5 Nd4. The next move for black is the 2nd most popular. Black follows 6.O-O with a6. White no longer has the option to exchange his bishop for the knight. What are his options? If white tries to get rid of the knight with 7.Nxd4, that is a blunder, because black responds with Bxd4+. After white responds to the check, white grabs the bishop.So that is a complete non-starter. White will need to retreat his bishop, but where? Ba4 and Bc4 both run into b5. The better of the two is 7.Bc4 b5, 8.Bd5 Rb8, and on the next move, black will play e6, so white had better prepare with a3, giving a square for the bishop, but it is not a good position for white. So if not a4 or c4, then where? d3 blocks the pawn, which in turn blocks the dark-square bishop, so the best option for white is to retreat to e2, and now black can play d6. Black's position is fairly good at this point. He controls more space, he has a well-placed knight in the middle of the board, white's light-square bishop has retreated to a fairly inactive position, black has a potential pawn storm on the queen's side, ... The main thing is that black should avoid castling O-O. He can leave his king in the center castle O-O-O, either of which denies white the strategy he is looking for. In the Lichess database, games that have followed this path through 7.Be2 d6 have been won by black 54% of the time, compared with only 40% for white. As such, I don't think that Bb5 is a wise move if black has not played d6 or d5. Stockfish recommends d3, which restricts white's light-square to e2 without having to get chased off of b5 first. a4 is also suggested, which doesn't commit white to Be2. The Bb5 option is still available should black push his d pawn. My feeling right now is to go with that approach, but I'm still working on it.

@eclecticexplorer7828 Жыл бұрын
I'm looking at f4 as the answer to the puzzle. If black captures the knight, white recaptures with the pawn, opening up the rook to f7. If black plays something like Rh5 in an attempt to get back the pawn while developing his rook, then g6 Nxe5 gxf7+ Nxf7 Bg6 wins. If instead black plays g6 first, the white responds with Rc2 Qxg5 Qxg5 Rxg5 Rxf7 Nxe5 Bb5+ Bd7 (Nd7, Bxd7 Bxd7, Rf8) Rf8+ wins material. If in that last variation, instead of Nxe5, black plays a6, preventing Bb5, I do not see the winning path.

Summary of the video: if black plays the opening badly, white will have an advantage. Let's take the last line as it is the most popular against the GPA. After 6. b4, the main moves for black are 6...b6 and 6...d6 but neither gets a mention despite black scoring wins after ...b6 in over half of the games in the database. There are similar points in all of the other variations, such as 5...a6 in the fast ...d5 line. Hardly anyone above a certain level is going to play this, and if they do they probably have something specific prepared. The main moves there by far are 5...Ne7 and 5...Nf6, both of which are regarded by theory as approximately equal. The GPA is a system I also regularly recommend to social and low club players in meeting the Sicilian but it is not the magic bullet to 90% wins as presented here.

Puzzle: White moves rouke to C7, pinning the knight against the Queen. Then Black moves Queen to rank 8 to eliminate the pin. Then White protects the rouke with his other rouke. That's the key. After that, White's bishop pins the knight against the King or is used to put the King in check. Then White's queen is used to finish the attack. But the exact course is impossible to predict since we don't know what Black's responses will be as the attack unfolds. It could also include sacrficing the Queen to take the pawn on A7 to get the Black rouke off rank 8; or moving it to B6 if Black already moved his pawn to A6 to stop White's bishop from getting into the attack.

I think I see what you mean. After the white queen captures the pawn on A7, the black queen takes the knight on G5, thereby providing an escape route for his king, and allowing his king-side rouke to capture the rouke that will take the bishop. But Black would be losing too many pieces. I think now that a better response to "queen captures the pawn on A7" is to move the knight to protect the rouke on A8. You would lose the knight but I think you would be able to save yourself from the rest of the attack.
