    great video as usual! Is there a reason why the squares of the opponent's piece which moved last are no longer highlated? Made it sometimes harder to follow the game if one didn't watch for a second and wondered which move the opponent actually made...

    If i had to guess white just picked up that variation and is still learning it, and as John said they had ideas of how that variation gets played but that sure wasn't the position for it. And stockfish be stockfishing in the middle game sure is too harsh, it's basically just saying learn more theory because that wasn't the plan.

    Hey John, I'm pretty sure that Game Review gets more critical the higher your rating is, so something that's marked as an "excellent" or "good" move for me could be marked as an inaccuracy or even a mistake for you. Love the videos!

    Thanks for watching! "Coordination" is so fundamental to chess that I don't think many authors even think to isolate it as a concept. But funnily enough, I can recommend a book by Capablanca with the same name as my series here, "Chess Fundamentals."
