This was absolutely on the money. Let me add one tip: when analyzing your games, the computer often gives you possible lines (that were not played in the game). DO then try to visualize those lines.

One way to help visualization is called : the stepping stones! You look ahead , say two moves, then you picture every piece in your head, then you go two more moves. . . etc. Credit : improve your chess now !

At 13:00 you say black will play Nf8 to block the check by the white Rook on e8 but that is a noticeably worse play than Qf8. While white will still be up 2 knights against 1 for the endgame, it's a much smaller advantage than the R+N against N endgame shown in the video.
@Chessfactor3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! You're right Qf8 would be better than Nf8 to block the check but technically two knights vs one knight is still lost in the endgame with so many pawns.

@@Chessfactor Thanks! That's what I figured--still winning for white although I'm still working on endgames and would probably have to play very carefully to win a 2 knights vs 1 endgame.

Unless I am missing something, @ 9:16 the black queen should simply take the newly moved unprotected white rook, checking the white king - which can only be blocked by the white (then unprotected) queen and in turn blocked by the (then unprotected) white bishop, which after both being taken by the black queen results in checkmate of the white king.

I have a nice way to visualize the color of the squares! There are eight ranks and eight files. When you read the notation, determine the number of both them and add them together. If they result in an odd number, the square is white otherwise, it's black.

@@s.fgamingzone4927 yah sure! So consider the letters from A to H. They are 8 in total. Let's say that we want to tell the color of the H8 square. Well H is the 8th file 8 + 8 = 16. It is an even number thus the square is black. What about d7? d is the 4th file, 4 + 7 = 11 which is an odd number, therefore the square is white. Tell the color of a7?

@@Mahmoudery A7 = A is the first file and then plus 1 gives 8 and 8 is even no. That's why A7 is black

@@Mahmoudery for eg. E4 = E is 5 fifth file and 5+4 = 9 is odd no. So the color of E4 is white. Thank you so much for understanding the concept ☺️☺️

Thanks for the great lesson! I can't actually "visualize," I just memorize what pieces are on what squares as I calculate into lines. But I think it's the same thing. I can't play blindfold chess at all. I think a good preliminary exercise is to pick a position from a game (in a book, online, etc.) and take some time to memorize the position. Then recreate the position on an empty board. I wonder if this is "memory" rather than "visualization." Are the two separate concepts? For me, they seem the same.
@human7491 Жыл бұрын
They are closely related. Visualization is just a quick memorization because, well, it's in a game.

I've read neuro science articles that some people's brains don't go down the path of visualisation as others do (or dream or fantasize in a pictorial way), and they have other strengths which may in some circumstances alternatively function to achieve the same goal.

Actually, in the first problem, I have the impression that after 1.Rxf4 exf4 2.Qc3+ Rd4 3.Rd1, after 3...Qxc4 4.Qxd4+ Qxd4 5.Rxd4 we don't win any material, we just simplified the position (which is winning, but not the announced win of material)
