      That’s the whole point, right? You play relatively rare moves, but they are commonly answered by mistakes.
      The computer is not impressed with these openings, which is why the moves are kind of rare on higher level, but humans struggle with them because there are only one or two hard to find good moves and many obvious moves that turn out to be blunders.
      Finding these line is like digging for gold and it’s really cool that we can use computer databases to analyse human play.

  • @thienyetan2035
    @thienyetan2035 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a suggestion though, let's just delay moving the kingside knight and always have a white bishop attached to our king. I think that prevents a lot of problem with the spaces at my queenside and prevent that queen mating. Sometimes knight to h6 is the move to trade off white's dark square bishop to prevent such traps, while giving an opportunity to place the rook in front of the castled king.

    8:34 Actually Nb4 is not playable for black because after Nc7+ kd7 Nxa8 Nxc2+ qxc2! qxc2? White has beautiful checkmate bb5#! I didn't check it with computer so maybe black can play qxa1+ instead of qxc2 but it still amazing mate net that I thought u would really like.

    After Queen captures b2 and knight b6 Queen b4 is a possibly good move, having a fork on the night and king, if bishop d2 or even queen b2, horse c3, black wins over the horse.

    Funny how computers have exposed weaknesses where none were thought to exist before.
    These are important lines French players should know, and those looking for ways to fight the French.... But like any other trap, if the trap isn't sprung there's no assurance the trapper can play the resulting position even to a draw.
