      I understood squares as targets for a little while now but never thought about waiting until an opportune time to occupy it when it can be contested. Or using it for 15 moves to make white live in a sort of mild zugzwang.

      I thought about that too cause that's around where I'm at . But the part about using control of the square to leverage an entire plan was pretty enlightening. If there's one thing I've noticed about us 1500s is we think we're better than we really are, we understand much but apply it poorly and inconsistently.

    I assume comments and such are most helpful in close temporal proximity to the release of the video, but I have watched ... the majority of the youtube videos across multiple speedruns now and this was actually one of my favorite videos viewed. Obvs, Daniel brings historical knowledge into play often, but in this case there were multiple historical lessons that happened in quick succession. It's hard to emphasize why, when all of his videos are incredibly informative, this one stands out but. It was great.

    35:52 Actually, the digits of any number divisible by nine also add up to nine, and the last digit decrements by 1 every time you add a nine. 10-7=3 so last digit is 3 which means first digit has to be a 6.
    ( Rather, the other digits have to add up to six but hey, it aint 153 )

    Personally, I'd love seeing the Smith-Morra uniquely. I started playing it after your last speedrun and even got Esserman's book. There's a point to be made that the SMG transposes into the Alapin often enough, but not vice versa - so you'd get enough variety even if you only play 2.d4.

    Bloody hell.

From watching the video directly to playing a game in this position (that I was getting wrong!). Thanks Danya.

    35:44 interesting question "how to _a priori_ find the ...b5 plan?"
    My answer would be to study pawn play. The old, somewhat weird book _Pawn Power in Chess_ by Hans Kmoch is a fantastic start. There he talked about pawn breaks (called 'levers') to increase space and activity. Also Andy Soltis' book on pawn structures lays out typical middlegame plans.

  • @Musicrafter12
    @Musicrafter12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In the Maroczy Bind, white traditionally sets up the battery with Be3-Qd2, but should almost *never* go in for Bh6. Additionally, in the event of some Nxd4 Bxd4 N(f)d7, white should *not* play Bxh7 and should instead retreat to e3 again.
    Reason being, leaving both players with only their LSB is good for black, since both black bishops are fine in the dragon structure but *white's* LSB is definitely their bad bishop. Trading white's definitely good DSB for black's "just okay" DSB is an improvement for black.
    I have to wonder if a DSB exchange is not so bad in this structure either, especially since with a pawn on d3 instead of being off the board, arguably white's LSB is even trashier.

  • @cosarara97
    @cosarara97 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 29:57, the bishop should move to e3 instead of h4, then after O-O there is still Qd2 and you have to defend that pawn with your king, which is not that nice anymore.
