    "I don't think there's a Chessable course on the Nimzo-Indian," Danya says, as I'm sitting here thinking how fun it was to watch him explain the moves of the only opening I actually learned with a Chessable course. Great video nonetheless, even from a miniature.

    2:02 I'm so happy that I find alot of times these best/very natural moves for high rated players (like Knight to e4 in this position, it was the first move I considered) and I'm only under 1000 elo in all Time controls:D So I think if I practice and study chess hard enough, I believe I can easily reach 2000 at some point.
    3:22 I'm thinking Qg5, creating mate threat, if white captures the knight and we recapture with the light square bishop, we have a fork with a mate threat on g2 and it hits the enemy queen, so he has to obviously block the mate threat, so the opponents will lose his/her queen if they recapture with the knight. Though I only found the move after you mentioned there's a possible tactic on the board. Let's see when I press play if I'm right:D
    Yes it was the right idea!! Damn I gotta go join a chess club, where I can play much stronger opponents with longer time controls, so I will learn alot better than only playing rapid & blitz online😄
    3:55 I'm thinking sac the Knight on g3, rook lift to f6 and we have a mate in 1 threat on h6 next move.
    I am very happy I found all the moves Daniel said to think about😄 Of course it's a different situation speacting a game than actually finding those ideas in a game. Though I sometimes find tactics in games too.

  • @lukastux3024
    @lukastux3024 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    There actually are two chessable courses on the Nimzo: Nimzo-Ragosin by IM Sielicki and the Nimzo-Semi-Tarrasch. There is also IM Krykun's Accelerated Queen's Indian Course. But I agree that they should add a course for the Nimzo-QI repertoire

    @artificiallychallenged 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just for the sake of being pedantic, isn’t the immediate mate actually avoidable in the final position just at the expense of a bunch of pieces. Like after Ng3+ and hxg3. White could go Rf2 as Danya said, but for the purpose of vacating the f1 square for the knight. So the full line could go Qxe3+ Kh1 Ng3+ hxg3 Rf6 Rf2 Qxf2 (if Rh6+ immediately then white goes Kg1 defending the rook) Nf1, with the point that if Black is now intending Rh6 you have Nh2. And after that black could continue the attack with Qg3. At which point white could go Kg1 again. And if Rxh2 then Bf1. Although I assume some combination of getting the bishop involved and the other rook involved would eventually lead to mate. But the mate isn’t as fast as Danya made it out to be.
