I love that you guys are using real boards. It's so much better, maybe it's just me.

[@emregeylani]

This video is simply amazing, I rewatched it after nearly a year later and it's still very helpful.

nice video ! but 6:58 , if black exchanges queens then do not see any advantage for white (white will gain two pawns - yes but that's not because of pawn structure but more because his rook being blocked by king , otherwise rook could have easily be brought in to defend pawns) .. would have been great had that path also been covered...

[@wisemanadvices9541]

19:35 what if, Rxh7, followed by Rh8+Mate?

[@sankarbhattacharya1770]

Superb

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks!

[@trex576]

19:07 What about 1...Bxf6 exf6 2.gxh5? Isn't black winning a rook?

[@Chessfactor]

We are not sure if we understood you correctly. After 1...Bxf6 2.exf6 gxh5 black is not winning a rook because white's pawn on f6 makes it possible to checkmate the black king with 3. Qg5+ Kf8 4.Qg7 mate.

[@nukmanzhen8924]

18:51 Rather than 1.Qh4 , isn't 1.Qh6 is more powerful move (threatening mate on g7) if 1...Bf8 then 2.Qxh7# If 1.Qh6 Bxf6 then 2.exf6 (threatening Qg7# also Qxh7+ then Qh8#)

How to place pieces on good squares

[@shuaibahammed7293]

Is there a difference between weak square and outpost?

[@antonsteinhart3398]

An outpost can be a weak square but a weak square isn't an outpost ;)
