[@r33th]

@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1275">21:15</a> I looked at both Ne6 and Re6, but was surprised to see Re6 was better. I thought Ne6, fxe6, Bxg6 looked good. Checkmate is still defended but I thought there might be a way using the rook on e1. What is the line Ne6 would initiate? Is it still a decent idea, or is it a mistake?

[@farouqbaiti4315]

Thanks for bringing those informations.🙂 In <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="428">7:08</a> , can't White just attack the Queen with Ne5 an be in a completely nice position?☝🏻

[@williamsquires3070]

(@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1372">22:52</a>) Hi Nelson. Instead of 1 Re6!! What about 1 Re3 instead? Now white is threatening 2 Rh3 followed by a mate on h8, and if 1 … dxe3, 2 fxe3, white now has a half-open f-file and his other rook can come into the game at f1, threatening to exchange the powerful knight defender for the rook.

[@bc_7644]

After your line the bishop on d3 hangs and white wont be able to sack the rook without getting mated on the back rank after Qxe3+ (after Rf1), so white is completely lost unless stockfish finds a defensive brilliancy for white. Edited for clarity

[@sumadharipalli5298]

​@@bc_7644 Also black can sacrifice the queen for the rook on f1 and would have 2 rooks and bishop for the queen and White's attack ends and Black wins!

[@LounoirRecords]

to take is a mistake, that is if the trade is fair (knight for a knight, etc.) rather let them take you, almost always the better choice

[@yyyy-uv3po]

I'd love to know how long this game took. There are so many crazy lines here.

[@danielward7008]

Idk but I'd like to know who's playing as this is extremely high level play from white.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@danielward7008I think most likely a GM with the checkmate sacking the queen and mating with the Bishops that took some good calculating talented player

[@jaredmaciej7315]

Or just h6… who moves bishops two times in a row!? Also never move the b7 pawn like a noob!

[@farouqbaiti4315]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="443">7:23</a> You forgot to mention that White does not lose the whole queen but rather a piece after Ne5 Rxb7 (Or she runs away to f3.) Nxd7 Nxd7 which wins for black. Also, at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="624">10:24</a> instead of b6, what is wrong with Qd5 to try to trade queens by Qh5? Also, at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1686">28:06</a> White loses the a2 pawn as well in this position. And from our view, losing two pawns like this is not OK as White without any ways to get them back. Also, Black can still play f5 and f4 and can still do the same plan of launching the attack which means that Black is better, right?

[@salemtv5808]

question where does nelson sell the courses he mentioned?

[@christiankalk4668]

This game is a great example of why Black has to be *extremely* careful when castling King-side in the French defense. The e-pawn blocks the Bishop away from the King side...just in general, it is much more difficult for Black to bring defenders than for White to bring attackers. So giving up a valuable defender *and* the initiative basically just handed White a winning advantage. I know this because I've lost in exactly that fashion many times.

[@grider411]

So funny when there is a German word all out of a sudden, especially when you're German :D almost the right pronunciation, good job Nelson!

[@timm439]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> Why not take the bishop first; if they trade queens you still gained a piece. If they take your bishop, then Qb7 to win their rook?

[@roblodocus2539]

It’s not massively relevant to chess, but in the book the author commented on how Philidor says in Chess Analysed in 1791 that- and then goes on to talk about how Philidor’s spelling wasn’t right. He was saying this because he would write using a medial s. For those interested, a medial s is a very old version of the lower case s. S as we now know it used to be its own capital form, much like how many other capital letters are completely different to their lower case forms today. But eventually the rules started changing around lower case s, and it started being used in the middle and end of words. Eventually with the advent of the printing press, it became more efficient to have one key for s instead of two. And soon after, the medial s died. There was nothing wrong with Philidor’s spelling, he was just using an antiquated form of speech which seems odd today. It was an interesting foot note!

And with that knight sacrifice you can use your rook on the 6th rank to apply more pressure too...?the rook can also be sacrificed and take the knight of black, that will be too many pieces to deal with for black..?

[@noodleheadable]

[@christianfrost8660]

So Black shouldn't have taken on e4 they also shouldn't have played b6, both of which look like standard moves. What moves should Black have played?

[@magister_scaccorum]

1...e5 or ...c5

[@bc_7644]

Most likely after white castled black should have played c5 to challenge the center. If white ever captures the black knight, recapture with the bishop to be ready to play g6 without having to worry about swiss cheese dark squares around the black king.

[@msolec2000]

Maybe it would be good to put the name of the series / chapter number on the title?

[@sagov9]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1150">19:10</a> that's a false dichotomy, queen takes knight is also worth considering

[@DannyOh_]

Hey, sorry lol, I left a reply on your comment but I read it wrong, sorry about that 😅

[@bc_7644]

Yes but the whole motif of the game is the weak dark squares around the black king. After 1. Qxg4, bf6, white has nothing because black now holds the dark squares.

[@sagov9]

@@bc_7644 Yes I agree that Nxg5 is the best move, I'm just saying that we shouldn't only consider recaptures in general.

[@shadeburst]

A bit above my pay grade! But I can learn from the queen traps in the opening. The exhibition game would have been far more interesting if it wasn't between a genius and a dumbass, but between equals.

[@divinesleeper]

also good but notice you're restricting the rook on f1 that way, so if the attack doesn't work out it can become inconvenient. Because with Rfe1 the other rook on the a file can still move to all other files while keeping a rook on f1

[@pickaxe4248]

I thought the rook on f1 is for protecting the f pawn
