    Kaidanov may not have been a world champion contender like other past greats covered in this series, but Ben's knowledge of him made it just as interesting, maybe even more instructive than usual.

    After some thought about the "powerful premier pawn push" or 4P as the pawn move to square 4! Interesting naming for a move that has no title. Just a suggest, but a request for some feedback at best.

  • @edwardwalsh4454
    @edwardwalsh4454 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    May I ask a silly question?
    I have indirectly asked on a previous vidsession about "Pawn Lift" being coined for the premier pawn push and now I confided to being baffled by the naming order and having the colors being reversed order. Am I confused easily? Yes, and I wonder if this is also a non-standard use of old that is never going to be corrected for vismental ease?
    Do you see what I see? THE TRUTH HURTS? I hope not for you or others but maybe change is not so bad and joyful.
    Thanks again for your sharing and fine fettle to yours.
    PS Drink green tea as a "pawn lift" for reaching 100% Just 1% improvement a day can lead to fantastic fantasies.

      I do understand you are showing the player's perspective but being a noob I have to concede, it is silly but sans standards this order could be transposed in other media. I guess that is chess, but I naively quess, Is this a vistest, that I am to best?
