Actual useful part of the video starts at 07:00 Just rambling before that.

And even then... only a few interesting bits.

Also, at 13:05 if you are afraid of losing the piece at J6, you can move that piece to his preferred square at J9. That way, you are saving the piece and developing it at the same time. You could also ignore the attack on the J6 piece and stay on the development gameplan by developing another piece besides J6 (such as H1), but after losing the J6 piece, you probably wouldn't want to lose any more.

Is it a catch when you move your white directly and first in the beginning to the edge where's only one row of black. So it's edge of the game field, then black and the white. Could you get a catch with that move? If so, you could catch a lot of black with your white from the beginning of the game.

Can you move the king's players through the muskovite's home spaces?

[@adamtorkelson8272]

Yes

At 12:14, another horrible move besides the one shown would have been i4 to j4. All for just about the same reasons as stated for the example move. But also because the move to i4 was strong (on a preferred square) and closed an open file--so moving it to j4 would open it again and leave a preferred square, making the position weak.

how does white get past 3 pawns put on diagonal in every single corner?

[@adamtorkelson8272]

He can't, although it is quite difficult for black to pull that off.

[@MadManMatrix]

there is a rule called exit fort which requires 4 whites to surround the king on an edge of the board which would allow white or defenders a chance to win still in that scenario

So many repetitions! Got tired of getting almost nowhere after 3 minutes.
