      It's because he doesn't think it through quite long enough. I don't want to do too much backseat gaming, as it's obvious NL is learning and having fun either way. But his first opponent here wasn't very good. And NL _still_ goes for the queen trade way too quickly.

  • @Livestreamlurker
    @Livestreamlurker 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    41:18 I think the main reasons the computer doesn't like b3 is because, for one, it puts literally all of your pawns on light squares. Leaving them to maybe become targets for that light squared bishop. And the second reason is that it's the endgame. Your King's a fighting piece. It wants to be active too. So, it didn't activate your king and it created potential weaknesses.

    15:35 I dont get why taking b5 is the best move, and a missed win if he doesn't. Doesn't he just exchange a rook and a pawn for a knight and a bishop? That's an equal point trade
