Play the Panov-Botvinnik Attack | Chess Openings Explained

[@notnotcharles3022]

This guy spends hours making these great lessons in openings and has a dedicated audience of people trying to humiliate him whenever he asks for audience input

[@darrylkeeton7982]

Teaching kids. It’s expected

[@MrSupernova111]

hahaha

[@TheBigTruckSalesGuy]

You did a great job on this Caleb. I especially like that you stop and ask what we would do. This is so much more helpful than rushing through a sequence of moves without explanation. I very much appreciate your work on this.

3:40 Hold on ! The greek sacrifice doesn't quite work here since after Bxh7 Kxh7 Ng5+ Kg8 Qh5 blacks have the saving move Nf6 which stops the attack cold and bold. Also if you're thinking of a potential Nxd5 then blacks have the zwichenzug Bxd2+.

[@leslassiter6378]

fares gaming, I'm pretty sure the "Greek Gift" requires white to have a pawn on e5 in order to work.

[@fares8005]

The goal of the pawn on e5 is to make Nf6 impossible. But the key squares to look at are g5, h5, and h7. If those three squares are unprotected and you have the triangle setup, then and only then, can you play Bxh7+

[@Sirhelpmeplease]

@@fares8005 You would first need to take on d5

[@saschabudko]

after Nxd5 Black can do even without the zwichenzug Bxd2+, because now White's dark bishop is pinned to the king and the knight on g5 can simply be captured by the queen.

[@yoannhappe9281]

Yes it doesn't work at all, I had this particular position on the board this morning on a tournament and my opponent hesitate on castling but retreated the knight on f6, after the game on the analysis I told fortunately you didn't castle because it's losing but we looked on stockfish giving -4 for white so losing for white... Yes the Nf6 after Qh5 makes white lose, it works only if black is dumb enough to play Kh8 after Ng5+. That's a kind of very uncare assessment I guess!

[@pranavjoshi2968]

At 3:45 , after 9...O-O I don't think the Greek gift sacrifice works in this particular position. After 10. Bxh7 Kxh7 11. Ng5+ Kh7 12. Qh5 Nf6! And white just lost a bishop for nothing.

[@EcstaticMonkey98]

Yeah I thought so too

[@raymondsimmons1617]

A nice, free video on the isolated D.

[@ishanr8697]

There are a few places where the teacher is rushing a bit e.g. at 3:40 where he claims Bxh7 wins, and around 11 mins where he mis-steps after Nfg5 a few times. My suggestion would be to slow down and think a bit more. You don't need to know everything right away.

[@sureshrawte9951]

Hello, rather than Bd7, Karpov played Qb6....isnt so ?

[@chessblitzplus540]

Someone can talk to me what program they used for making this lecture ? thank you

I'm here to figure out what Martin Crane stumbled into.

[@Jesus-wi1tt]

Same here. Classic.

[@MrMartinmozz]

Watching "Chess Pains" now lol!

[@monikakaminska9745]

After the move suggested by the woman in the audience Ng5 h6 Nxf6 Bxf6, isnt Nh7 a good move?

[@oldmanyellsatscreen]

You get a gold star! You get a gold star! 37:47

Jake really grew up.

[@timesfire]

Is there some reason you prefer to wear clothes 3 sizes too big for you?

[@additionaddict5524]

Aren’t you ashamed leaving a trail of negativity that lingers?

[@TheRsMusicMaster]

37:00 HAHAHAHHA

[@bubgi2119]

?

[@4kisc]

1st one! This has never happened to me before. Life is good.....

[@jeupham]

I don't wish to be picky but this is the Panov Attack. It is only the Panov-Botvinnik Attack when white plays 6. Lg5 Don't worry : it's a common error.

[@meesleering6968]

John Upham Lishop to g5?

[@nischalada8108]

John Upham Stockfish actually considers it the panov botvinnik attack

[@jeupham]

Indeed, the mistake is repeated regularly.

[@jeupham]

That does not surprise me.

[@jacobtarallo4370]

Is there really a point in insulting somebody for not knowing something that anybody might not know? Just saying..
