    This game had a great balance of difficulty, I think it's the first time a GM analysis made perfect sense to me. This format is very powerful, your ability to break it down really shines here

    This is a brilliant video, sir! A real game between two grandmasters, just played in 2024, seven chronologically choreographed concepts ending with a professional recognizing his predicament and professionally resigning! Chess kiss; I mean chef’s kiss! Thank you, Nelson!!♟

    Please make more videos like this but also more rating climb type videos explaining all of your moves. GM stuff may be too advanced to be practically useful for us beginners.

    ​@@gustavopimpao7823from a beginners prespective you wont be able to understand these concepts but as you grow as a chess player, these concepts become more and more familar to you, and you are able to apply them more efficiently. Since probably half of ChessVibe's viewers are still beginners they may not understand the concepts explianed in the video to the fullest extent

    Absolutely brilliant video! Here are the concepts summarised: 1- Choose your rooks carefully 2- Turn a bad piece into a good piece 3- Open the "key" diagonals and files 4- Don't allow the king an escape route 5- Increase the pressure 6- Don't trade unless you have a tactic 7- Final blow

    Definitely keen for more of these. I’ve never been big into watching a ton of recaps for the sake of spectatorship. But in classic Chess Vibes style you break it down and explain things in a way other channels just can’t. I used to think games at this level were too advanced for me to learn a great deal. I stand corrected!

  • @sebastiandierks7919
    @sebastiandierks79194 ай бұрын

    I think the real challenge with chess is not to just know these concepts that you mentioned in the course of the video. It's that concepts compete with each other, and only actual calculation tells you which move you should play. For example with the thumbnail position at 7:54, yes the knight is on the rim and you want to block the king's escape route, but also playing actually Rg8 also improves a piece, and even with tempo. So you cannot just refer to concepts to decide whether Rg8 or Nb3 is better, you have to calculate and actually see the three move line ending with all sorts of forks to find out that the knight move is better.

So really anything that drives you to make more types of instructive videos I'm all about it.

    This was a great video! I had an OTB game this week where I got into a similar situation -- a strong attack on a castled king. I was poised to deliver a crushing blow, but I didn't have that knockout move. Instead of playing a waiting move that maintained my dominant position, I just caved to the pressure and did a trade hoping to make something happen. I knew it was unwise, but I couldn't help myself. :-/ So this video really resonated. BTW, this kind of analysis of GM tournament games is very valuable, from the point of view of a someone focused on improving their chess; better than the typical recap video IMHO. Thank you!
