Amazing position in last example that Qc8 and Qb8 counter pin not work becuase of Qe3 connecting R+Q and black threaten Qf2# and white has to give up Q for R with lost game. With Solution Qd8! he not just counterpins Re8 but also threatens Qxh4 if Qe3 to eliminate Qf2# mate threat.

At 6:27 there is a beautiful pin easter egg. After Ba6, Simon doesn't mention the natural try Rd1, just defending the bishop. But black has the gorgeous response Rb1!! with two pieces hanging and pinning simultaneously. Rxb1 Bxd3+ forks the rook and wins a piece, while Bxa6 Rxd1+ wins an exchange, so white has no good answer to the threat of Rxd1 removing the defender of the d3 bishop.

Because then white king would move to e2 and would take back rook for rook and yes lose his bishop but having a knight left it could lead to a draw. But his idea leaves his opponent with also one less pawn so his idea is superior to what you said. But even if it lead to the same result what he said is just the easier win perhaps. May be he didn't miss the alternative move but didn't have the need to mention a move that was not better.

In the first example is Rook to d1 possible? and from there to d4 later on i don't think black can do anything to stop it in between these two moves. white queen can freely capture the black rook. the only escape square for the black rook is to capture on e3. in that case, white rook to d8 checking the king with the rook and losing the white rook but winning the black queen.
