I like how you drop a bunch of "drive-by" insights when going through a game (like "btw, note this"). Good way to learn many useful principles in passing.

This endgame reminds me of the horde variant, where one defensive idea is that a king can stop two whole files of pawns

i convert drawn positions to winning positions for my opponents all the time! incredible video, keep up the good work 🙏

As I think it wasn't mentioned in the video, the technical term/endgame concept of h4 is called a "breakthrough", if you want to further search for videos to learn about it. I think Ben Finegold has a lecture on it, probably on his chess school channel.

I like your channel because your thumbnails are not clickbait and you're not trying to act like a comedian on camera. Such a rare thing on KZread nowadays.

That was a very helpful video. I like seeing the full game like that and seeing the tactics in the end game.

Love all the tips and tricks this channel offers. Couldn't have gotten so much better without them! ❤

Remember guys, even it is a drawing position.The game still hasn't been a draw yet.

that's right. the position is a draw with best play from both sides, but humans can't always play the best moves

nelson, i'would be happy to see more of your games! you play so creatively, nd i'm sure we'll learn a lot

Thank you Nelson, very useful!

at 8:42 the game is won for white even if the D pawn was not there. the C and F pawns are too far apart for black's king to stop both. Just push the pawn further from the king one step forward, then even out the other, and continue until the king commits to one of the pawns. If we pretend the D pawn is gone, white wins with f6, Ke6, (Ke8 or Kd8 no better) c6, Kxf6 (any other move can't stop c7 either) c7, Ke7 c8Q.

Awesome video love them

I’ve never understood how there’s so much shaking of hands when games get to this point, it’s so easy to capitalize on a blunder as time is running out. I like the idea of you sticking it out. Also I don’t like when people just pick up the golf ball when it’s next to the hole, sometimes people miss those short puts, it’s all part of the game.

Yes! As a team captain when one of my players asked me if it was alright to make a draw in an even end game, I've often said no! If there was no particular risk involved in playing on, and if the opponent would need to play precisely to make the draw, then why not give him the chance of blundering? And this strategy often paid off. I remember another team match where I made an early blunder and lost a pawn. My opponent pressed for a long time, but I managed to survive until we reached a position where I was still a pawn down, but it seemed to be petering out, and my opponent offered a draw in move 39. I took an overview of the match situation, and it was looking good. One of my teammates seemed to be winning, but it was still tricky, and IF he lost and I drew, the result would be 4-4. I looked at my position, and I couldn't see any risk in playing on. So with less than a minute on the clock I sat down and made a very energetic pawn push! My opponent was visibly shocked, and due to a few subsequent mistakes on his part (mistakes that were not easy to avoid) I won the game. My teammate won as well, so instead of 4-4 the result was 6.5-1.5. Which was a great help in eventually winning the group.

Chess but you can only move your pawns/ promoted pieces

Oh wow, you had 3 pawns queen ready in front of you, but your king stopped all of them. Amazing!

Good endgame tactic

I found the solution, but you confirmed it! Most interesting & instructive with the Black doubled pawns. Well done on the win, commiserations to your opponent who will evidently know better next time.

5:48 pause...I would think you would try to create a decoy pawn considering the 3-1 majority on the queenside. But how...?? Maybe g4...?? 🤔🤔 (after the pause: oh, no!! Right idea, wrong pawn!! 🤣🤣)

Maybe you get tired of hearing it, but your channel is by far my favorite chess channel. I'm just a casual player, but your explanations are so clear and interesting that I find myself watching the videos just for fun. And I definitely am improving! Thank you!

I wish he would release new puzzle island episodes

Challenge: Transcendent Chess. Every 10 moves, each of Martin’s pieces upgrade (pawn to knight/bishop of your choice to rook to queen) Each existing queen(queen before the upgrade of Martin’s pieces) adds an extra pawn (a8 if a8 is taken then b8 and if b8 is taken then c8 and then so on).

Make quest: win with 1 or 2 pieces and from 0 to 4 pawns. Win with NNp against Martin is easy

@giordanotassi6634

The engine always tell me it’s the best move

I wonder if h6 instead of h5 made things a bit easier for Black. That way h4 is not a big deal as it kind of was because the opponent had to spot gxh4 instead of the wrong move fxg3.

Hey what about the adveture did You forget

nice

I would have deeeefinitely accepted the draw…though that’s mostly because my end game is terrible. It’s nearly as bad as my mid-game. Not fun when I’m terrible at the beginning of games…

Don't be too greedy in trying to get passed pawns. I also thought of taking h4 instead of g3

Miss your episode 😢😢 please upload episode daily 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

That’s why short controls are not very good (may be at levels below GM or some recreational game for fun): 30 min are good for ordinary players, I believe. In fact this 1. … fg is a very stupid mistake which wouldn’t occur had black one minute to think: variants are pretty easy, you just have to check your pawns will be easily stopped. I don’t like blitz for amateurs :)

Ask Chat GPT 4 to create some puzzles in FEN format. I tried it, but you should make clear prompt. Mate in 3 is the easiest one
