In this episode, we delve into one of the strongest moves in chess history: Anand's legendary Nd1!! against Kamsky in the 1995 Candidates Final. Knight retreats are notoriously difficult to spot, and this brilliant move exemplifies their strategic depth.
Some multi-purpose moves solve positions like a Gordian Knot, fulfilling numerous critical functions simultaneously. Anand's Nd1!! is a prime example: it prepares the e4-e5 break, prevents Black from trading knights, and immobilizes Black's queenside pawn majority. Within a few moves, Black is left without counterplay, completely tied down. By dissecting the logic of such multi-purpose moves, we can enhance our chess strategy and middlegame planning. That was the main reason why I created a course on multi-purpose moves.

Thank you so much for your thoughts! Indeed, I should have talked about Nc2, which is not a bad move at all.

Can you tell me why knight to d1 is better than knight to c2? The comparison.

Thanks for the question. Nc2 is also a good move! I guess the main difference is that after ...Nxc2 Bxc2, Black is pushing c4 in some lines, creating a passer. In the actual game the knight on d1 would be a great blockader on c3 if Black pushed c4. I guess the main point is that the knight on b4 is not doing much, and White also has more space. So that is why he avoided the knight trade I think.

I spent about 15 minutes on the position before remembering what GM Smirnov said about pieces of the opposing force occupying space in one's own territory. So I played Nc2, forcing a knight trade in which I recaptured Black's knight with the light-square bishop, which then placed the bishop on a more active square and connected my rooks; the rook on a1 was no longer a loose piece as a result. Because Black's queenside pawns were somewhat weak, playing b4 for Black on the next move makes sense, to which I would respond with Bd3, improving the bishop still further and stopping any pawn advance on the queen side. Yes the dark squares are weak around Black's king on the king side, but I did not see an immediate way to take advantage of this weakness. I'm a weak player, so there would be no way for me to see what Anand envisioned.
Thanks
