    One thing I’d like to point out in the last game: white sacked the knight for (apparently) no gain. But, what it did, was minimize the chances of an accidental stalemate. This could also occur if white had a queen and bishop in an open endgame position. It also simplifies the mental calculations since you now only have only one major piece; the queen. And a queen and king vs. a lone king is a win. In other words, the minor piece is kind of a liability here.

    The last endgame didn't feel like 400 elo at all. Also, when I'm having fun by promoting multiple pawns, usually I make only one queen, and the rest are rooks: you still have easy ladder checkmate, but now the risk of stalemate is much lower. I think it also might be useful to give some tips on how to do the one-queen mate quickly (with 10 secs on the timer).

    My 2 cents: rather than blundering your pieces in an obvious way, I'd prefer to see you play "to the level" of the elo you're facing. Walk into forks or skewers and see if the opponent spots it. As you climb up the rating ladder, you can move on to more advanced tactics. The middle game can still be instructive as you effectively analyze it from the opponents perspective, and hopefully they punish you for one of those mistakes and you can move into an endgame that way.

    i find lots of players at this level up to 900 are not really interested in end games. They want all out fight or nothing else and will just abandon or resign when you get to the end game. Also these people play 10 minute games but it's like they don't know there are other options to play 3 or 1 minute chess which is what they really want. Maybe just play the game to the end game and not talk until after the game.

Also, I keep bumping into pawns being in the way for my maneuvering, either my opponent's defended pawns or my own misplaced, and I'm wondering, is there a way to plan pawn placement, or force pawn trades, to open up the position....???

    Cripes [as just a regular player] that scares me! I'd never [be confident enough] to trade Castles and leave myself with just a Bishop and Pawns. I'd feel so much more confident that I could eat up more Pawns and get checks having a Castle. I also have never understood why there is always so much emphasis when it's one Bishop v one Knight. Surely the Knight has more scope, in at least, if northing else, being able to cover all the board and not just 50% like the Bishops?

  • @qazzaqstan

    So you are correct the knight has an advantage of being able to attack both color squares and if you look up bad bishop v good knight endgames you'll see just how big that can be. However, knights are also short range and clunky which means they are bad at dealing with action on both sides of the board at the same time (note the open center and shear number of isolated pawns also help in that game) additionally knights are very bad at dealing with A and H pawns. So in that particular endgame the bishop is far better than the knight. To some extent it will take practice and pattern recognition to figure out which piece is better in which endgame but a few things to look for are How open is the position? Will the knight have a good outpost on a square the opposite color of the bishop so it can never be dislodged? Are there pawns on both sides of the board or just 1? What colors are the pawns on (especially if they aren't mobile)? Bishops tend to like their opponent's pawn being on their color and their own pawns controlling the opposite color.

    The problem is that your opponents keep playing the French, so they have to resign shortly after the battle starts.

    Love your content Nelson! I’m curious? What would you do if someone reported you for cheating because you were taking to long and you had someone email that you were doing leg exercises because of the gout? But they’re subscribers convinced him you were cheating? Crazy thought huh? Could he have been making rice?

    I'm surprised how good some of these 300 elo players are.
