This is helpful as it teaches us to focus on position instead of just pieces, for people my level at least.

yes. i am 600 and usually focus only on my pieces and will almost never sac my pieces in the game cuz i am scared to do that. i usually sac only when theres mate in 1 move after or smth like this. so at first i didnt know what should he move to save himself in video. i saw that he cant move his king anywhere cuz it will lead to mate but i just thought "so what do we do?! its just a lose. why he made this video." and then theres bishop move sac. i was like "but its just gives him bishop for free" but then i saw theres a really good pos after this so later i got the move at the second game in video. thats a really good video cuz after this maybe i will play better cuz once in my game opponent check me. i saw a rook move that,i thought,sacs my rook and theres mate in 1 cuz my king has no way out of 3 pawns. but i completely didnt see theres my bishop looking at his king so when i move my rook then its check for him and i get free queen. instead i just fricking resigned... when i saw it after game like 5 sec after resign i got really mad...that was so stupid. actually i didnt even made a single mistake and that was completely win for me.

@@ossucoolchamp2401 That's why you don't resign. I rarely resign and sometimes stalemate/back rank mate with 10+ points behind.

Love it! I'm at the experienced beginner to intermediate level, just starting to study past masters' games. I appreciate how you explain why other lines won't work.

At first, I thought Bb5 coughs up the piece for nothing, till I realized it was a defensive resource to deflect the back queen off that diagonal. Amazing for Pillsbury to find that saving move.

Really like your content. Had this idea come up in one of my games recently.

Didn’t ask

Yeah, this video was very interesting. I would love to see more analysis videos explaining brilliant tactics like this. Thanks, Nelson!

This is not only very instructive and impressive but very beautiful as well. Thank you, master Lopez!

It’s great to see how these deflection tactics work in real games along with the reasons why other moves are worse

"Very strong players both of them were" Ah I see … Inside of you the force strong is.

This was a great video! It's cool to see tactics and maneuvers get attention.

Love these videos, down to earth honest explanations, no jeering or mockery - thank you!

this video demonstrate clearly that you are a talented teacher...i really appreciate very much how you explain the tactics.

You are the best, man!! Thank you very much for your videos.

Happy 2022 to Nelson and all!

Great video!!❤

it looks like black can still draw that first position, honestly it looks like black is still just dead winning. They sack bishop for a pawn and queen comes in to support

Good video. I would say more explanation of why it was important to pull the queen away on the second scenario. You go into detail about how the king can't just move or he will be trapped, but after the bishop sacrifice I am unsure how still being in check doesn't just keep the tempo with white. Isn't there some more white could have done after the bishop sacrifice to maintain dominance in that game?

Good point! I forgot to go back and mention this part. Basically once the white queen was drawn away, there was no more recapture of black's knight, as well as the the white knight and bishop were going to be captured and black was going to get the piece back.

please make more videos like this,

After the blunder it was Mate in 3 for Black lol, that's why he resigned

This is such a beauty!

Excellent video.

You said in your last video you wanted to make that position thumbnail today you did 😃

In the main puzzle can you please explain how the game will go if black bishop takes the pawn on a7?

at 9:20 after Qb3+ - Nd5 is the only move to save the king and the knight

alternate title "how to sack peices like grand masters....."

I shared mitrofanovs deflection with someone I was teaching, and his immediate reaction was ‘did you have this in one of your games?’ I told him of course not, the queen deflection is a ridiculous move and it’d never show up in actual games. Guess I was wrong!

Good to know. Not sure how useful it will be considering both games shown were over 100 years old but, I'll add it to the repoitoire nonetheless (and probably forget about it within 10 mins lol).

At 2.50 there is a mate in two it's when the bishop became a treath you can actually take knight on f6 and if they take the bishop the knight on f6 After taking the knight takes the d7 black squared bishop and that's mate

3:43 ...is it Bb5 sacrifice to get the queen off black, preventing Bxd4? 3:58 called it

Awesome

11:30 I’m a pretty new player so I’m wondering why black rook couldn’t go on d5? Does it end kinda the same way as the knight d5?

@willcashon2475

I think just Rxc3, with the additional threat of applying more pressure to the pinned rook.

I'd love to see you try out 5D chess some time

what if you dont take the queen and go to like e8? or h2

If you made the horrendous mistake of playing bishop e7 at the 6:37 mark, you could still salvage a draw after Kb2 with bishop to a3+. I believe the King has to take and then perpetual check is possible.

I thought the black bishop's "useless" interposition was a good move because it misaligned the defending rook and adding another defender on the back rank.

at 6:33 black could have moved bishop to e7 for checkmate instead of queen c3

what about mate Qb8? insted of deflaction?

At 10:25, Black Queen can go to B4 to trade Queen?

Lasker could've end the game in 2 moves. First bishop to e7 give check and then queen to b4 is checkmate

The king is in the corner so if you take the knight the queen can just put him in check on the back rank and it’s still checkmate.

no? Then they just take the knight for free and play bc4 winning the rook afterwards

Definitely not a tactical motif I saw in any lesson. Now I want to practice it

*Pillsbury spirit* okay, bishop move was not a blunder

Instead of Qxb5+, black could play a6.

Ok i found the way blacks winnining. Do the white queen sac, queen takes, king wka6 bqb5 king takes queen, bishop takes pawn, pawn takes pawn, king takes pawn, pawn c7 king b7. Now theres just a pawn stalled and the horsey may or may not be able to come and save the postion. Im not too sure.

Black can move bishop on e7 on 6:34 and checkmate
