    I had always struggled a lot with the endgame. But I feel more confident after learning the 6 knight mating pattern.

      I was previously only confident with the 7 knight mating pattern, but this video has given me great guidance. Also I know now something about spongy stuff with nosebleeds.

      @@tabularasa9576 look first you have nasty farts and you know it. Secondly, a gift isn’t always materialistic. Knowledge can be a gift too. Einstein gave the human race or should I say, society, many gifts. Hikaru is the Einstein of chess in this analogy, sharing his knowledge of chess with anyone who’s willing to listen and learn.

      Lol money is a reward when gained by honest means and is merely the representation of proof of what one has done for his fellow man.
      If you mow someone’s lawn and wish to exchange your labor for another good or service the proof that you had done something for your fellow man is represented in coin .
      Hikaru earns money because it is his reward and proof that he has shared his knowledge and creativity with his fellow man.
      Money is not evil , the love of it is. Man should receive and enjoy the fruits of his labor , it does not prove greed or disprove the act of sharing one’s gift or gifts

    I know this is old but if anyone sees this, at 8:12 is knight c7 not a free rook? If the rook is moved then a fork between the king and other rook by knight e6 still wins a rook right?

    • @AdrianStalker
      @AdrianStalker ปีที่แล้ว

      You are right. The opponent could push the pawn attacking hikaru rook but he would just move and then fork after black rook moves. I can't see a way out for black. His best option seems just let the knight take and after rook takes knight he would "control" the a file
