So, me and my roommate are stuck inside, due to the novel coronavirus. My roommate got a hold of this game today, and we have decided that we will play everyday, and the loser has to cook dinner. I plan on studying your videos, because I have no intention of cooking dinner. I just hope she doesn't find your videos too. Thanks.
an honorable man would show his partner the videos as well to encourage growth and to make you both better. a weasel would use this purely as advantage.
Thank you for these videos. I'm also a beginner player, and I find all this information extremely useful! Could you elaborate a bit on why the self-pin at 5:38 is such a huge mistake and how could have your opponent forced a draw?
Replay the game. (You can do this very easily at BoardSpace.net) If my opponent had immediately marched forward with his Queen I could not have stopped him from attacking with it and then would have been forced into a draw by repetition.
Exactly, queen moves toward the beetle and then the newly placed beetle just moves on top of the queen I don't know how he could have stopped you? Lol I know this is 4 years late.
Yeah, I'm not sure either, I've studied this for a long while and didn't really see anything for a long while... Still unsure At the beginning of turn 42 Black only has to bugs that can move: Black Queen Black Beetle Or spawn the only remaining Black Spider 2, in one of five spawn points for this spider to enter Perhaps the draw is a forced stalemate by forcing the same pieces moving for three turns with so many imovable bugs But I 'think' Randy is referring to after this move 42 bQ /wB1 If Black continued moving the Black Queen towards the White Queen, that a draw could be forced by the simulations surrounding of both Queen's Once Black has completed. The self pin stops White covering the queen, and perhaps losses some tempo to move the beatles into attacking situations
Really enjoyed your videos Randy and am now waiting delivery of your book.Could you please do a video about the choice of bug for first move and whether it is always better to bring your bee out on the 2nd move.Also,is it an advantage to play first ?.

this presentation is excellent, its very helpful to hear the reasons for each move.
This was a great video. I'm surprised how much you covered in just one video. Also, thanks for the games today.
Love the series!

Cheers for the game today Randy, and thanks for recommending your channel

wouldn't that beetle just cover the queen and end the game?
@@Morchunkis please answer that! is exactly what I thought

I thought of a cool way to play this one a sailboat. Have a whiteboard and put flat magnets on the back of the pieces
Take a look at this video... it is amazing.
