kyol, please help. just prior 2:00. I can't recognize a "free piece". Seems =
At 12:50, that’s actually a decoy. A decoy is luring a piece to a bad square, but a deflection is luring a piece away from a good square.

Well, so you mean that if you lure a piece away from a good square and it ends up on another square that ain't that bad either, then it's a deflection? But if it moves to a bad square, then it's a decoy?

@@perpetualbystander4516 No, what I mean is that when you lure a piece away from a good square, (let's say the piece is lured so it stops defending something important like a checkmate square or a major piece), that's a deflection. But a decoy is something where a piece is lured to a bad square (let's say it's the king) and it gets lured into checkmate. In other words, a deflection prevents a piece from doing something important whereas a decoy pushes or lures a piece to where it can be trapped or captured.
12:20 it's called swallow tail mate, i learnt from Magnus trainer. I'm so proud of myself for finding the right moves in the majority of the positions shown here, I'm improving! 🔥
I love how you show us examples of setting up these concepts, rather than the basic examples. Thank you very much!
The deflection tactic is super cool! , so I deflect my opponent's tension by dancing while playing.

This sounds like a joke, but I didn’t kind of emote on my opponent during my last tournament. I got 96% accurately so something must be working
You're an awesome teacher Nelson. So clearly communicated. Well done! Thank you. I hope KZread rewards you accordingly.
2:52 the fact that white is 1 full rook down and black had tripple stacked but still white had a positional advance because of this tactic.
great video with practical examples. Thank you!
I love your videos so much! Every time a see one I immediately click it. Thankyou and congrats!
Well presented; thank you for sharing.
"Alright, so if you had a chance to look at that.." sounded the exact same everytime
Great video, thanks helped a lot
9:38 I saw the rook check but I didn’t see any good follow up in black were to play kh7 instead of g7 at the start
ay, make more videos like this, with examples, i rlly love when i need to think in an video c:
Glad that I had the opportunity to use deflection twice in the same game to win. I really liked the content!
Very well explained
The tactic you give same as my coach sir,but he also give a task ,nice
I ran this position at 4:44 on Stockfish NNUE for a while, at 60 plies deep, Stockfish determines this is actually mate in 29 for Black, even if White makes the best moves possible, so not just a lot of material gained, but a for sure mate in 29, nothing White can do to stop it!
Ty sir💪
Thanks!

12:12 i shall call it E-mate not because it can happen on the e file but because the rook and the bishop makes an E patern
wow, i did it so many times. But now i know, that i was deflecting enemy
Pretty cool stuff
Idea for Vs Martin (bot). You have to move the same type of piece twice in a row. For example if you move a pawn on move 1, then you have to move a pawn (any pawn) on move 2. Then on move three you can play any move, but for move 4 it has to be the same type of piece as for move 3.

Is there a difference between deflection/decoy and the removing of the guard?
wow, at the beginning of the video my dumbnut of a brain was like "hmm oooh! let's take the queen so that we can deflect the king away from the pawn and get a free pawn!!"
amazing!
I've seen this called "removing the guard". 1:59 "in between move" = Zwischenzug.
another way to describe a deflection is a sacrifice to force a piece to move where it doesn't want to move, either away from defending another piece or getting lined up for an attack like a skewer or fork
I appreciate you starting the video with a variation of the ICBM.
Had recently learned this one from my coach, glad to do some revision, lol. Also, how about a2 at 4:00?

white indeed loses the knight, but the 2 connected white pawns are to much of a threat, black needs to give up his last pawn because his king and knight are needed to defend against it, making it a draw (king vs knight + king)

idk if there is a name for that mate but, I like the bar graph checkmate if it is not yet coined.
12:17 i encountered that checkmate before, but, i like to name it defend mate, because the bishop ia defending the rook
Totally didn't see the idea at 7:48, I just thought maybe play Rd5 followed by Qc7 to get the pawn and maybe there's a deflection later that I didn't see, but seems like that was not the case.
12:20 thats called a "Dovetail mate" if am not mistaken.
The checkmate in the final puzzle definitely resembles a dovetail mate, but I don't know if it can be considered a true dovetail mate since that usually happens with a queen executing the threat...🤔🤔

That can be countered by black's e4. You gotta look for escape squares for black.
Deflection tactics in chess deflect pieces for itself.
I used to deflect queen by my bishop and go for knight fork😂😂
Position at @10:51 can white play e4 , black has to take king takes e4 than Bh7 # ,king has to go e3 or f3 , white plays d3 # , queen takes ,Bishop takes queen . Makes sense?
12:21 crossbow checkmate.
12:15 isn't it called Opera mate (but not in the corner)
11:09 I think e4 Kxe4 Bh7+. The king has to move to e3 or f3, but Rd3 forks the king and the queen and is defended by the bishop. If Qxd3 then Bxd3. If Kxd3, then the g pawn is faster than the f pawn. If the king does not take the bishop, seems like the f pawn is faster, but the bishop covers the f1 promotion square. Not that beautiful than the best moves, but this was my guess

still Qb2, threatening Mate in 1. Only decent way to stop it is g5. Black king gets bullied with checks, being forced to walk to the center and then the black king and rook get forked by the white queen and its over.
Someone else commented that the last checkmate pattern shown is called a swallowtail mate, but I prefer spear-mate personally

I agree with MSH. A queen can do what a rook can't -- move diagonally. And with two extra pawns White has chances to get another queen should they arise.
isn't 0:24 a position in which you can mate if you're playing as black tho
