    That last game was great for me because I play the Botvinnik System A LOT... and never knew it is a Sicillian Dragon reversed. You played thru positions I've seen colors reversed many times before and it was pleasant to see many of my positional choices validated by you. That attack at the end was was a very trypical Botvinnik system Kingside attack. But that beautiful simple h5 that let you activate the darksquares Bishop into the attack... that's the move I want to find when I play my games.

    You mentioned in a past video that you used to play the Moeller attack when you were younger. As a player of the opening myself, I’m curious about why you stopped? I’ve been curious about switching to the quieter game/d3 Italian, but not sure why one would make the change.

    • @marcofrey2903
      @marcofrey2903 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Probably depends on your level. My rule of thumb is to ask myself "Have I gotten a worse position out of the opening in the last 10 games at this rating level?" If the answer is no, I usually carry on. The only reason to change is 1. Getting worse positions consistently 2. Getting bored, less thrill from opening 3. Broadening your horizons (types of positions, playstyle). I played the Scotch Gambit for a long time, still do, but eventually I took up the more solid (and still wacky) Italian Game knight attack as an alternative.

    42:18 if Kh1, could you not force mate with Qxe4+? Only legal moves would be Rf3, which just temporarily blocks the queen, and Qg2, which results in Qxg2#.

    Eric, I love the series. For the first time in the whole series, you did something "at a master level" without me quite understanding the theory behind it...Rf8 x Kf3 in the last game... Just wondering what exactly went on in your head to trigger that "intuition" since you've explained every move logically in the series thus far. I would never have thought about that and it seemed risky.

  • @xanboyyy

    Very curious if I could have done any better...in game 2...at 12:08 b6 weakened the pawns and you could have attacked immediately with Be3. The pawn was pinned on a7 and thus the b6 pawn was dead. It could not move or it would create a double kill on a7 and it was not protected. If the rook moved then a7 fell.

    In the last game the guy left his rook and knight undeveloped and that doomed him. When he moved his queen on to the square his knight needed to develop he was nearing catastrophe. The next pawn move was the straw....Had he used his knight to attack your pawns and gotten his rook off of the diagonal of your black bishop he would have had a fighting chance.

    Checkmate in 11 for a 1786 ELO player? That had to hurt, especially with a Scholar's Mate!
    Game 2: I'm proud to say that I felt f4 was the correct move when Eric instead played Rf3. Stockfish shows that as +4.7, compared to +2.7 for Rf3. After f4, if black played exf4, then e5 follows, sacrificing white's rook on h3. (Oh, no, my rook!) Bxd6+ comes next, and if Kd7, the Bxe7, Kxe7, exf6, and he can't take back the pawn or he will lose his rook to Nxh7+. They are completely equal in material, but white has two passed pawns and is about to grab black's a pawn as well. (Yes, I did see this without the engine.) Eric's next two moves brought him down to near even, so this was not his best set of moves. I'm ready to take Rosen down! (Yeah, right.)
