I really love your square diagram, I been trying to follow games using your pattern and find it quite interesting. Will love to see you do more videos explaining Grand masters gang games
Good video sir. I've been learning how to play the game using the square diagram tactics. However, I find it kind of like a defensive style, how can one be a more aggressive attack minded player using this tactics?
Thanks for the comment. For attacking, use the upper part of the vertices of the single square and the double square. Take note that if you attack too much your positions becomes vulnerable. You need to be cautious when attacking.
Im new to this channel Im impressed about how you take your time and patience to teach However i am abit confused Im not sure how the square diagram is to be used This is because you do different things at each instance Can you kindly elaborate exactly how to use this strategy .thanks
@@koromamedia8146 @7:52 i applied the line diagram theory. using the triangle method, squares 38, 28, 13, 12 are strategic squares connected to square 34. My question is this, have i applied the correct understanding of the line diagram in this position? With the square diagram, i understand the reasoning for surrounding the vertices of the square. I understand how this is connected to positioning. What is a bit confusing is knowing if the line diagram is the same as the square diagram, in that these are two theories that allow you to arrive at the same goal. Are the line and square diagrams essentially the same theories used to calculate positions?
@Abe Lin thanks for your question. Yes, the two theories are the same. I advise that you pick one theory and stick by it. I suggest the square diagram. The square diagram gives you more accurate results.
@@koromamedia8146 Excellent. I used the square diagram today. During the games i found myself visualizing the diagram then making my moves. This is a skill that i will have to develop. question..Has the line diagram ever been used to calculate on the 64 board? or is it just used for the 10x10
@@koromamedia8146 You maintained the triangle structure throughout most of this game. your pieces at 13, 9, 8, 4, 3, 2 i found to be interesting as this allows you to have a strong central presence. i also realize that this structure supports the isolated piece on 27, as i understand that 27 is a key square. also, the exchanges in this game appear to be just from the flanks which makes me wonder if this is the general idea for the opening you played. please let me know if my understanding is accurate.
Yes, not breaking the pyramid is one of the reasons, but this is not always the case. The black piece at 30 is supported by the piece at 8 for the second reason. Black has a piece at 30, so you shouldn't move your piece at 8. Thirdly, we don't want to keep dropping our pieces in the middle of the board. This is referred to as a centipiece in Lidraughts. I appreciate you asking. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@koromamedia8146 When you say "supported" please elaborate. I do understand the centerpiece explanation and the importance of not breaking the structure. I don't understand how 30 is supporting 8. I do understand that there is a striking column and moving 8 can weaken the center.
at 3:09 the exchange was 28x17. lets say you exchange 11x22, opponent moves 37-32 then 32-27 chain locking your position. How do i determine how this would affect my position! is it not a good idea to be chain locked in this position? Why?

Thank you very much! working on the grand masters videos
I appreciate the lesson
Thanks Nzita.
Thank you for your videos
I'm so glad you liked it

Kindly watch the video on the explanation of the square diagram. If you still don't understand it, you can whatsapp me for further explanation. Thanks

At 3:26 you moved from 7-12 instead of 8-12. I’m assuming this move was made to not break your pyramid structure. Please explain why 7-12 was good!

Did you invent your various diagram methods or did you learn them from somewhere? If so, where?
these are my personal theories. I spent a lot of time studying the draughts game and invented these diagrams. Thanks
