An important variation is 1. a5 bxa5 2. b5 a4 3. b6 a3 4. Kb3 and white catches black's pawn, with white's own pawn 2 moves away from queening!

[@horvathliviu2101]

I enjoy these days your Najdorf DVD. The best company in quarantine time! Recomend it for everyone with all my heart!

[@yudistiraliem135]

Horvath Liviu it was excellent, except for one little problem: I don’t get to play najdorf in most of my game.. so I switch back to Petrov since the lines are more forcing :/

[@horvathliviu2101]

@@yudistiraliem135 to choose an opening depends on our taste/personality, etc.

[@yudistiraliem135]

Horvath Liviu my problem is that my opponents wouldn’t let me enter Najdorf. And other lines are very complicated that my win rate plummets when they don’t allow me to enter Najdorf. Those are some very sharp line

[@horvathliviu2101]

@@yudistiraliem135 I followed Tiviakov DVD on anti Najdorf. But you cannot go wrong if you study different openings, you are not memorizing lines but ideas, which you can find in other openings.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@yudistiraliem135 When my opponent ducked the challenge of an open Sicilian, I always felt I had a psychological advantage - they had chickened out! Do check out my repertoire for Black against the Anti-Sicilians: shop.chessbase.com/en/products/king_powerplay21_repertoire_against_anti_sicilians

[@raghuveermukkamalla783]

Danny, request you to do your own personal Top-10/20 of all time. With your analysis, it'll be a humdinger.

[@ChessMasteryOfficial]

The blunders are all there on the board, waiting to be made.

[@doco_1054]

Love your work man, thank you very much ! :))

[@rtt1961]

Thanks for the content, Danny. Everyone is disappointed about the Candidates, but I knew Power Play would not abandon us :)

[@marlonbrando6615]

Looking forward to getting my hands on the book, great vid Daniel.

[@brandondaniels9471]

PowerPlayChess: My #1 Source for how to play positional chess and end games 👍🏽

[@MrRobbyvent]

this is long forgotten endgame theory for me: looking forward for the peculiar position of the enemy which leads to draw. Oh man! Knowing this was rude for my old ego. I need to study this stuff again!

[@hubertsang7418]

Greetings from New York, great work, as always, really enjoyed the road to the world championship by Fischer. One can not forget the hard road that Boris Spassky took to become world champion in 1969. He played a total of six candidates matches and two matches with the champion. He beat Tal, Keres, Korchnoi, Larsen, Geller (twice), Petrossian. He lost only one match, Petrossian 1963. Fischer's road was remarkable because he had a string of twenty consecutive wins (including the last seven games of the interzonal). As I had suggested before I would like to see the Robert Byrne-Bobby Fischer, 1963-1964 US championship. And your analysis of the argentinian tragedy. Thank you for all the great work.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thanks for the suggestion. There are many Fischer games that I would like to examine, but I know there is a clamour to look at other players (e.g. Spassky!). By the way, what do you mean by the 'Argentinian tragedy'?

[@tharkanzox1493]

Great puzzle. Always excited to see what games will be analyzed, enjoy the historical videos as much as current affairs :)

[@PowerPlayChess]

More history coming your way soon with a look at Sultan Khan.

[@Mats-Hansen]

What a neat "trick"! I will hopefully remember the essence of this position if i ever encounter it.

[@aliomar1861]

Please do some David Bronstein games

[@zalooooo]

Hi Mr King! Whatever happened to the end of the road to reykjavik? I was very much looking forward to your coverage of another one of the classics! Maybe this down time would be a good opportunity. Would love to see you cover more of the championship matches of the past but all of your content is great regardless. Cheers

[@PowerPlayChess]

There will be a new series coming very soon!

[@mosesanimates9120]

Maybe while you have all this time you can analyse games that you didn't have the time for in the past. Like some of the candidate games. thanks for the content

[@sayedashfaquemahmud3065]

Please do some full game vids😄😄😄

[@PowerPlayChess]

I do most of the time! Patience...

[@64kerala]

Superb

[@davidblack2970]

Is 'basic chess endings' edited by Reuben Fine still the best single volume endings book out there? And has the currently available version been updated to fix all of the errors pointed out over the years?

[@PowerPlayChess]

No idea whether it has been updated, but I doubt it. It's a splendid volume but I think the layout would seem old-fashioned to many, and I have no doubt that, when checked with engines, there are holes in the analysis. There are so many good endgame manuals out there now. My personal favourite is Silman's endgame course. You don't have to bamboozle yourself with Dvoretsky.

[@MrPastwa]

It would be interesting to also show white's play in the situation that black decides to promote the 'A' pawn first and that pawn would need to be followed by the white king and taken.

[@leondarcy7367]

Nope. Black pawn needs two moves to go to a3, white king only one to go to b3 so no use, the f pawn would not go further then third rank

[@MrPastwa]

yes, that is obvious, but the point is that the black 'A' pawn would be taken before promoting the white pawn!

[@zifircin1797]

time to continue fischer series also?

[@sewains]

Great channel! Would you care to give your thoughts on “Endgame Strategy” by Schereshevsky please?

[@PowerPlayChess]

I don't have the book, but I remember looking through it some years ago and really liked it.

[@thomaskember4628]

Daniel says it is technique, but really it’s knowing how to play chess. No one learning to play should not start playing seriously until they have learned basic endgames.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Ooooh. That's a very serious approach. I think that would have killed my joy of the game if I had had my father exorting me to study an endgame book before starting to play. 'Play' is the key word here. Later on I became fascinated by endgames (and how useful they were).

[@thomaskember4628]

PowerPlayChess My father couldn’t play chess: he had been a Rugby League player in his youth so couldn’t understand why I wanted to play chess. I learned from a book which started off on teaching endgames.

[@farzein4002]

I lived not far from Mir Sultan Khan's home town (near Sargodha, Pakistan). He forbade his sons from playing chess and I heard that his son had a book shop. There is documentary where his (Sultan's) childhood friends talk about him. And also an interview of Fatima who also won British chess championship. I hope your book covers these aspects. I am adding the link of documentary, you would find interview of Sultan's childhood friends, his son and of Fatima. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoqmqIKmn7CUmJI And kindly mention that he was actually from the current Pakistan.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you for posting. I quoted from this documentary in the book and naturally I mention all these aspects of his story (and the remarkable Fatima).

[@bbm6993]

Best endgame advice?

[@Doctorasul]

What's the response if after a5 black pushes b5, to block or get rid of his pawn?

[@supirion1]

En passant

[@Doctorasul]

@@supirion1 what do you mean? En passant cannot be played here, only after a two-square initial pawn move.

[@leondarcy7367]

White can then just take the c pawn with his new queen and queen the second pawn thereafter...

[@parththakkar9383]

Black loses a move playing b5 and that matters in the pawn race.

[@Andha1]

You can just take the pawn. Then queen your a pawn and take black’s last pawn. Finally you’ll be able to simply queen your b pawn.

[@skakdosmer]

I thought the ping from your phone was deliberate. “There is simply no substitute for calculation. Ping!” Like a warning that we had just been given a gold nugget. Nice! And then you ruin the effect by telling us to ignore it - and we were all back on the earth.

[@SfinX0o]

you forgot to go over 1. ... b5+

[@PowerPlayChess]

I point out the most salient variations to the position. Please work it out yourself!

[@skakdosmer]

Nothing has been “posboned”, but a lot has been “post-poned”.😊

[@victor1756]

I've hoped chess players are logical!? But even logic can not stand against "fear porn" !

[@marzi_kat]

Russia was closing the borders, so players would become trapped if the tournament would continue.
