[@Thaumazo83]

@@ianremsen epic comment, thank you! :-D

[@HeWhoHasNoLife]

In the position at 7:42, couldn't white play Ra6+, followed by Rb6+ and then nabbing the pawn on b3? Or am I missing something?

[@jeremyshar2676]

Jerry Stayton You are missing something. Ra6+ Kb8 (not Kb7) Rb6+ Rb7 and the pawn is defended.

[@captainzork6109]

Thumbs up for #nevertry

[@Dequda]

zugzuan XD its ZUGZWANG, a german word. it literally means you are forced to move.

[@liver1865]

You always have to move; every turn you must move.

[@Dequda]

Thats why the word is so funny. It says factually nothing, only that you have to move. However, it gets used in such a context that you have to make a move that weakens you, just as you said, because he ahs to move.

[@liver1865]

Basically, you're in a good position, and you don't want to move.

[@ClassicMist360]

why are you trying to tell him something he's very well aware of lol?

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

16:10 When you have 1 legal move you pick the wrong one???

[@liver1865]

You are forced to make a bad move.
