@@SalamanderMagic Ben finegold said in one of his lessons that the majority of games both players play +/- equally good moves until someone makes a blunder and loses, so focus on not being that guy because the game is in its essence at our level „Who’s gonna blunder more losses” At higher levels comes the concept of positional play and it can be normal that no bad moves where made by anyone yet theres a clean winner because his end position was a better end game setup. But I think the definite most of us arent good enough to orchestrate a middle game with a certain endgame in mind. But I think that until about 1500 its enough to learn to play solidly and focusing on not blundering. Edit : Just got to the moment where gotham says exactly that, sorry for repeating info

@6:42 Gotham castled his king and missed a golden opportunity. Pawn to e5 is a fork between his opponents rook and bishop. Bishop only has 1 safe square left on the board, and that is e5 to take the pawn, but if he takes the pawn then he could've played knight to c2 checking the king and then taking the rook since the bishop would no longer be protecting the square, but if opponent moves the rook then pawn can take the bishop

Not a burn in any way on Gotham though, he's a fantastic teacher and I love watching his videos and learning so much from him, just hoped someone might see the comment and be able to use it and learn from it in case they're ever in the same position

What are you talking about?? e5 isn't a fork of any kind
@jesseedwards3526 Жыл бұрын
@@vacatedguy7629 oh you're right, I forgot to add that he'd have to move either his queen or or rook (after castling) to e8 first, and then it becomes a fork (fork being the term used when you force an opponent to choose which piece to keep between 2 pieces)

@@futuregull2331 oh youre right, so what if instead of castling, gotham mobed pawn to f6, then on the next turn pawn to e5? Knight takes pawn, pawn takes knight, bishop takes pawn, knight takes on f2, checking the king and taking the rook, or if opponent moves the rook then pawn takes bishop

not to be rude but why does it matter. male pronouns have just become gender neutral for everyone.

@@sherrwagn1234 I'm 90% sure women also use the term he/she when referring to anonymous people on the in the internet. Also once again no disrespect but, I don't see how being referred to as a "he/she" when people only know you by your internet alias is such a hideous crime. Now it'd be different if the persons name was like "samantha18" or "brad_chazzington" then y'know.

I started getting back into Chess like millions of others after the Queens Gambit movie and then started watching KZbin videos on chess. I also like Daniel Naroditsky but for my money Levy at Gotham Chess is the best by far. His climb vidoes are more addictive than beer or chocolate!!! Seriously though, great content and thanks Levy from London, UK.
