Your videos definitely make an impression on me. Because at the 1:30 mark, there are not one, not two, but THREE (consecutive no less!) little pawn moves at the edge of the board. And I felt like tutting disapprovingly and shaking my head 😀
very fine play by Pragg, i have successfully used this strategy a couple of times reccently, but last night at the club my opponent used it successfully against me. Thanks Daniel.
Kasparov's pattern was always the two attacking knights. Vs Adams in his last tournament; vs John Nunn in the 5.5-0.5 blow-out (Or whoever it was the referred to him as a multi-eyed monster); against gelfand (Can't recall the tournament but 80s or 90s I think, etc
Games like this tempt me to play the Italian game. The patience and maneuvering required are a significant prerequisite, however. :) Another nice game by Pragg. The position he attained faintly reminds me of ones that can be achieved in the French : King's Indian attack as white. I've had games where you get a knight on f5 that can't be kicked and good luck to black, it's a slow death after that. Thanks for sharing.
Exploiding f5 by White was presented very, very instructively. What about the other way round: Exploiding f4 for black? Your analysis are very, very welcome Mr. King!
Because then the knight takes on g6. The f pawn cannot retake as it is pinned by the bishop. But black should have played g6 earlier instead of Nd4 in my opinion.
Thanks!
I’ve found this mini-series on Pragg’s attaining Nf5 in the Italian very informative, thank you! 🙏
Very nide choice of game and explanation describing Pragg's strategy to occupy Nf5

Dang ... That's been on my bucket list forever .

Thanks for the video, would be great to see an example of an alternative strategy to g5!

What is the idea of h4 after gxh4? Is it Nh5+ followed by an invasion of the Queen?
Crisp attack - short and sweet!
Knight on f5 is worth at least a Knight - me, 2023
Hi, after g4 cxd3 White mates too with 1. Qh5+ Kf6 2. Qh8+ Kg6 3. Qg7# or have I overlooked something?
I think that both moves will lead to check mate in 2, but the one you have suggested seems more forcing

Nice game 👍
I like when the narrative is told as if a lot of unresolved chords were used. There is something to happen, isn't it?
More Garry 🙏🙏🙏
Why not g6 (instead of g5) to prevent Nf5?!

You went the whole video without saying "Knife f5" Ben Finegold's spinning in his grave ⚰
Finegold's not dead. But maybe only a few pizzas and boxes of donuts away from it.
