The best tip I could tell from roughly 2000 blitz and rapid games is that when you feeling something bad about to happen just take your time. Dont rush or anything even if you lose the piece/s in cause. Think about everything you can do even if the clock is running so that way you remember the patterns and the position.

15:25 in the last situation you can also take the pawn if they block with them. Cause if you win the queen back you're still going to lose the bishop if pawn blocks, so you pull a Desperado(unless the bishop is defended by a knight or something)

@@davidkumarmahto8187 If you take the queen first, then they have to spend their move taking your bishop with their pawn, and you have the initiative, which you can use to develop your other bishop, giving you a substantial lead in development. If you take the pawn, they can recapture and develop with their knight, then you have to take the queen, giving them the initiative. You’re still slightly ahead in development because your rook is activated. I wouldn’t say it would be better for everyone to take development over the pawn here though. Some people are better with a development lead and some people are better with equal material. (There’s probably a “correct” play above 2000 or so though)

At 13:33 it's also sometimes worth pushing the pawn to a3, blocking the king's path to the bishop (a3 pawn blocks the b2 square and the bishop blocks b1 and b3, essentially creating a small wall). Useful if, for example, the b3 pawn is protected. Not a permanent solution, but might buy you some time.

Hey Nelson! Awesome video as always. Just before watching this, I managed to trade my forked rook+pawn for their knight and bishop just like you mentioned, so I was pretty excited to see that I found that solution. Unrelated, I have been searching for a way to transform 1. d4 into a sharp/aggressive game, and I've come across the Benko Gambit which derives from the Benoni Defense. Any plans to do a video on this?

best simplest trick ever, super educational, should make more little videos like that saves the day big time

Another thing to consider if you lose a rook to a knight fork, is - if it’s stuck afterwards - just leave it there! Make a developing move. Only take it if it tries to “break out of jail”. Think of this as another version of “maintaining the tension”. I’ve had many games where that knight was still stuck on a1/h1/a8/h8 at the end of the game. 😌

I mean this video is directed towards beginner players and it can be risky letting it sit there, all of the sudden your enemy has developed an escape plan which you can't do anything about and you just lost that rook for nothing.

In situation #7 you could move e5 and then threaten to fork the two rooks, and if the person doesn't notice you could make a fork, if not of course you'll still have position.

U explain so well -slowly clearly and right to the point ❤❤❤❤

I really enjoyed the video! As a beginner, these tips will sure help me improve! Yours videos seem to chill. Definetly a new subscriber here!

In situation #7 Black should give up his Knight with a check that forces white to double his pawns. He's going to lose the Knight either way, but giving it up this way gains him a small advantage in pawn position.

speaking from my own experience, if your level is at a point where you're getting your king and rook forked without seeing it and preparing for it, then a pawn position advantage won't matter much anyway.

If white just castles then knight is trapped and no rook lost

So far they're all pretty standard, 10:20 reminds me of something I sometimes encounter playing the Pirc: bishop and knight attacking the f pawn with no pawn to block the bishop. And the answer is exactly the same: trade the rook for the bishop and the knight. That 2 minor pieces advantage you have over them will generally hurt them a lot more than the loss of a mere rook will hurt you.

This Was Really Helpful! Thank You So Much!

What you show there is sheer madness. I've been able to improve my chess so much more with your videos. Many love greetings from Germany.

good video very helpful 👍

Thank you for those tips. Especially for ways you might save the game if your opponent does the tactic on you. I already knew that 1 Bxf7+ Kxf7 2 Qxd8 loses Q and P for B, but hadn't thought of the in-betweener Bb4+ winning the wQ (provided that the bRh8 really does attack it) -- neat!

Thank you so much, so helpful!

Hi Nelson, your content is so amazing! One question: In the last situation is it not better to take the pawn with the bishop to check again? The Queen is still trapped and you get an extra pawn. If you take the queen with the rook immediately, pawn takes bishop and you do not get the chance to win a pawn. Am i correct or do i miss something? Again, great content! Keep up the good work! :-)

9:40 7# just did that yesterday in a game, was happy i found it :D

The examples you have selected are all ones I've seen in my games. You've picked some very good ones. Example #10, the last one, is one I encounter a lot playing the black side of the Danish Gambit. I accept all the pawns he offers and white then expects an aggressive attack. But it all rapidly fizzles out on with this line: 1.e4 e5, 2.d4 exd4, 3.c3 dxc3, 4.Bc4 cxb2, 5.Bxb2 White is usually thrilled and appears to have two active bishops looking down on black's kingside. But then black plays 5...d5! After 6.Bxd5 Nc6, white thinks he's tricky with 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7, 8.Qxd8. Then comes 8...Bxb4+ and now white's queen is lost and black usually ends up with a better position. I have played this variation countless times and usually end up having a very good game.

As a 1000 rated player, the situation #8 is the most helpful. It's a pretty good endgame tactic and I'm unfamiliar with it till now. I like it unlike other tips which are mostly in early game. (If you know your openings, you'll mostly know what to do with these other situations) Situation #10 might also benefit other players but for me, I respond differently against london system and never come across this kind of position. Still great thing to know just in case
