I have found this piece of intellect to be very well written and presented, with one flaw... any of those Whom are studying this material will find that moves that are being discussed will be much more easily portrayed if arrows were added. I happen to be living with the effects of a mini-stroke... but even without this issue, arrows would be such a powerful clarity booster to several explanations, especially with the deeper topics. Honestly, I want more!!! Thanks so much!! Rex
This is a relatively new YT channel but the content is exceptional. You have a wonderful method of teaching. Very smart. Thanks for the amount time and effort you put into your videos. Just by reading the comments you can tell how much people love it.
Another quality lecture . Thank you . I try to solve at least ten tactical puzzles on Lichess every day , therefore I am familiar with the tactics in your lecture. I watched for re-enforcement and reminding purposes , and it was worth it. Again , thank you, and much respect for your time and effort.
Hey Stjepan, great video as always. I found it extremely helpful. But as it happens with one take videos, there are some mix ups of the terminology or imprecise explanations. I'm sure you are aware of them, but I want to clear them up for beginners. 1) at 3:40 it may sound like there are only forks with Knights, but as Stjepan then explains correctly, forks can happen with every piece, especially less valuable ones. Therefore, another typical fork is the pawn fork which can be especially devastating in the opening of beginner games. When you place your pieces on the same rank (especially the forth and the fifth) one file apart, you are often inviting a pawn fork, which can loose you the game immediately - so please look out for that. 2) To differentiate the pin and the skewer more clearly: The idea behind both these motives is the same. You have a piece that moves and attacks in a line (Q,R,B) hitting two pieces of your opponent, while all these three pieces are in one line. The difference lays in the placement of the more valuable piece of your opponent. With a skewer you are hitting the more valuable piece directly (=it is the one you would capture, if it was you turn) and force it to move away. With a pin you hit the more valuable piece indirectly - the only thing stopping you from capturing it is the piece in between, which renders the latter immobile. However you have to be careful, as there are two types of pins: Absolute and relative. In an absolute pin, the more valuable piece is the king, so moving the less valuable piece would be illegal because it would result in a "self-check". In a relative pin, the more valuable piece is anything besides the king. Therefore, it may often be unwise to move the less valuable piece, but it is still possible. A great example of that is Legal's mate, where you sacrifice your Queen by moving your Knight out of the pin to checkmate the opponent. So do not relay on the fact that a piece is relatively pinned, when you calculate. 3) Deflection, Removing the Defender, Blockade: Those terms got a bit mixed up so here are some short definitions first: - The aim of a Deflection is to make your opponent move an important defender away from the defense, often by use of a sacrifice. - Removing the defender in contrast means that you capture the defender, again usually by giving up material. - A blockade means that you move one of your pieces between the defender and the piece (or square) he is defending, by this nullifying his influence. This also often comes with a sacrifice. In the video, Stjepan often used "remove the defender" in a broader sense of "moving it out of position", so here is a quick overview of which tactical motive he actually meant, with some further explanations: - Following 10:42 it is a deflection, as Stjepan said. - Following 12:36 the tactical motive is even more ingenious than the simple "removing the defender" make it seem like. You are actually trying to deflect the rook by threatening to remove the defender of a mate in 1 (Nf7#), a capture that would also threaten another mate in 1 (Qg7#). After Rc8, QxR8 is actually a case of removing the defender which in turn renews the threat of both a deflection and removing the defender. If you are a total beginner and this sounds way to complicated to you, train like Stjepan explained, come back in 6 months and you will probably be able to enjoy the sheer beauty of this position! - Following 22:40: Rc8 is a typical pattern of a deflection/decoy to ensure pawn promotion, but after Rxc8 Qe7 is NOT removing the defender (in the narrow sense of the tactical motive), but a blockade. You're blocking the black queens access to the important squares on the back rank, thereby, threatening some mating ideas. And there is another side to the move: If the black queen captures on e7 then motive turns into a deflection, because now dxc8Q is mate in 1. The black queen can block, and after the white queen captures it's mate. This example also shows another important point: Tactics are not only focused on pieces, they can also include squares. For instance: If in the example for the discovered attack there would be no black knight on d5, the white knight would have been pinned: If it moved, black would either play Qg2# or Qh1#. Hence, the white knight would be pinned to those to squares. Also you should be aware that - as Stjepan greatly has shown with these amazing examples - tactics work together. Yes, there are "one move tactics" where you only have to find a fork and basically win the game, but there are also situations, where you have to force your opponent to allow you one tactic by using another one. For instance you may need to give up a rook for a knight, but thereby you'll remove the last defender of a square where your knight can in turn come in and fork the King and the Queen. With that all said, I really have to thank you again, Stjepan. This was an amazing and very instructive video and I can't tell what I enjoyed more: The absolutely wonderful examples you picked or your apparent joy over those examples. One can really sea and sense how much you love chess! Keep up the great work and all the best on your road to the GM Title!
Very clear, to the point and very efficient explanation of the key factors. Thank you very much for your time, energy and expertise spent on your series of videos. Love to watch them & keep learning - afterall, learning is a lifelong process! 😀
Your way of explaination is awesome. I learned lot of concepts from your videos. I recommended your channel to my son and chess friends. They too appreciate your teaching skills.
I do 50-100 tactics per day 💪, it's really helpful specially at intermediate level as the game at this level is mostly decided by tactics. TBH I still miss lot a tactics like I do today in my game against a NM it was like -10(Black) for me and I've like 10 sec. I see the tactics but one move later and he was able to prevent that and then I just horrendously blunder my queen 😅
Hmm. If you can solve 100 a day, you should definitely switch to harder tactics! Always solve them over the board. Use ones from books which are 5-10 move combinations. Not lichess two three move tactics.
Ya I do like 50-60 on lichess and the rest on chess24 . Chess 24 tactics are really good you should try that if you haven't. And I doesn't use book or board , that's doesn't feel necessary to me
First book I studied when I chose to be a professional Chess player was Susan Polgar's Tactics for Champions, this video would have been my 2nd choice :) Nice job and ty again
Great ! this explanations is what i needed. I like all of your video content. easy to remember and understand. We dont get such explanations on other channels.
I love your videos, they're really instructive and simple to follow thanks to your clarity of exposition. The content is great so far (I'm glad I still have so many videos of yours to watch) but I would suggest you purchase better equipment for the videos, the audio quality wasn't the best today and the lighting could be improved. While I don't actually care about this stuff (I'm much more focused on the quality of the content) other people do, so this might help your channel to grow. Thank you for your work, I'll stay tuned for more chess :)
I will hopefully. I really don't have ,money to invest right now though. I hope I will be able to buy decent recording equipment and a better comp in a few months. I'm aware of the issues:(
Actually, at 11:24, Ne2 doesn't lose our knight as the queen can simply take that knight, and the bishop can't take back as it is pinned to the king. But besides that, a very helpful video!
There is a rare tactic called windmill, it's very beautiful to see and how it work. It,s a combination in which there is only 2 moves available for the king and other side can check the king rapidly gain material until he gets all of the pieces that are defending by first inserting a check and grabbing a material with an another check . And continuing the process repeatedly until all the material which could be gained. This can be only worked if the king can move 2 squares and a piece in the attacking side Is aligned with another piece on files or diagnols. For example black king on g8 , white knight is on f7 aligned with the white bishop on a2 g8 diagnol.
Excellent video, as they usually are. Quick question, at 6:00 why can't white play Qf5? Takes a pawn and allows for queen exchange (althought idk if you'd want that if you're down a piece)
That's what i was thinking actually. I'm not very sure but I think he just didn't want to waste any time so he just wanted to make sure we understood what he was trying to say.
For 7) quiet move, an even better tactic would be Rf6 and if his knight dares to take then you can take back with your knight and easily find checkmate.
There is a game called the Mexican immortal which the great emmanuel lasker lost by the tactic of windmill. You can check out the game in agadmator's chess channel . The title of the video is lasker against the windmill. That's a excellent game to show the example of windmill tactic.
11:50 I saw a cooler checkmate. 1) Nf3+, Kh1 2) Nd2+, Kg1 3) Rxf1+, Kh2 4) Qh1# The only way white could stop the M4 would hvae been by sacrificing his Queen by playing Qxf3 but that would only delay the inavitable because then white would be 6 points down and he would go on to lose the game a couple of moves later.
Great channel and video. But I'm confused at 18:30. Rxf7 is not a check. The king doesn't have to move. Oh, got it. You're starting with Qf8+. That wasn't clear initially.
I came here to learn more about chess. I ended up with a desire to fight my enemy to the death in order to save my comrades. Either way thanks for the great video :)
Very interesting video. One thing that puzzles me as beginner - when I do tactical puzzle from the book over the board, I don't often know what would be best opponent response. In online puzzles computer always chooses the best move. How to figure out best opponent response when I am using the book?
Hi, many thanks for your videos, I've learnt a great lot from them and really enjoy watching everyday. I tend to play the Kings Gambit as white and as black I often try similar ideas using the Latvian Gambit. Would it be possible to make a video about the Latvian please? I can find little about it online. Many thanks :-)
6) Removing the defender: When white Queen moves to D8 I would play black rook to take white knight in D6. If white Queen proceeds to take black rook in G8, I move black Queen to D7. Alternatively, if white Queen takes the black rook in D6, I move black Queen to E8. Is there another threat that I don't see in this line of defense for black? (I am truly an amateur)

11:50 the first tactic that came to my mind was Qxf4 followed by Ne2+ Nxc3, but white would probably be better still

@Austnax rook e3. It's not a fun position, but you could keep up the fight.
maybe you could double up rooks on the open file and get the bishop involved in protecting the knight? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

6) Removing the defender: When white Queen moves to D8 I would play black rook to take white knight in D6. If white Queen proceeds to take black rook in G8, I move black Queen to D7. Alternatively, if white Queen takes the black rook in D6, I move black Queen to E8. Is there another threat that I don't see in this line of defense for black? (I am truly an amateur)
