  Interesting situations, but he can't explain very good (though no queston he is a much better chess player than me). I listened to other people who pointed out much better the importance that the king who first moves out of opposition loses. I think this video lacks the introduce the abstract key principle to win, and THEN all the practical moves should follow. I guess that's also why he sounds unsure if his messages really reached the audience.

  I appreciate the feedback MJ! I'm working on improving for each video, and this is very helpful. I went deeper into Opposition in this video (main opposition content starts at 0:45) : 2.) Opposition Deep Dive: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m32kj5KifrmYd7A.htmlsi=faeNsBDY4644oAl0

  I am sorry but the best part of it was mentioned by Anish Giri in a stream and Hans neimann in chessbase india round 12 stream, Gukesh said in the last press conference that the moment he lost to Firouzya, he knew he was capable of winning. He had that fire again in him to do his best. Hans also said that it was the moment Hans knew that Gukesh was going to win and Hans said this 4 days before Gukesh won. Anish said that its a special and rare quality to be happy and excited after losing.

  I’ve studying theory for years. Trying to memorize positions. But, I’m realizing now it was all pure memorization and I didn’t understand the concepts for the moves. These concepts help so much. I’ve never had things explained like this and I’ve been trying to learn chess for 3 months.

  Thanks for this. I was scared of the PIRC for a while because people say it’s really theoretical but have recently started using it again and am having a lot of fun. I’ve also found a great book: ‘Tactics in the King’s Indian’ by Gennady Nesis. Here are some quotes from that book: ‘Instead of death in the centre - death to the centre!' The idea is for Black to combat White's pawn centre with piece pressure, supported by timely counter-thrusts from pawns. Those who champion the King's Indian Defence (although they do not consider it a defence, but an attack) continue to debate whether they should immediately strike against White's centre with pawns, or whether it is more promising to attack it from a distance with pieces. Players of White in this opening have to resolve another eternal' problem: should they close the centre immediately, or is it more beneficial to maintain the tension as long as possible? […] As will also become clear from the annotations to the games we have selected, play in the King's Indian is often sharp and forced, and it demands exceptionally accurate and dynamic handling from both sides. Furthermore, the need to combine a forceful attack with rational defensive measures adds to the complexity of play. All of this increases the importance of the various tactical tricks which may be employed during the opening and, especially, during the transition to the middlegame. […] we came to the conclusion that tactical ideas, rather than variations pure and simple, are the most important factor when it comes to understanding the King's Indian Defence. In fact, tactics are the life-blood of the King's Indian player, and we have therefore analysed 35 games in which characteristic tactical concepts are particularly well illustrated.’

• 
  @PillagingPony3 ай бұрын

  Thanks for the note and sharing these quotes! I definitely consider the Pirc an attack more than a defense, and there are common tactical ideas without memorizing lines. Makes it fun instead of being destroyed by an 18 move deep line in the Spanish :)

  9:22 I was sensing some trouble like that was possible. I was like why the hell are you moving your king to the queenside? It's unnecessary and it is also dangerous because pawns alone are poor defenders of your king.
