I went for the positional Giuoco Piano, in which the whole position revolves around the center, and both sides prepare d4/d5 or try to prevent it. Whoever plays it first at the correct moment is usually better. I failed to seize my opportunity to play a timely d4. Instead of that I went for a thematic positioning of my knights to g5 and f5. That turned out to be a mistake and my opponent got there first. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zrScH-FgqFg 3052 2019-11-13T13:39:05+00:00 https://chessterra.com/1971-candidates-tournament-bobby-fischer-vs-petrosian-game-3/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/chpEm5bbqSE.jpg 1971 Candidates Tournament: Bobby Fischer vs Petrosian Game 3 After trading wins in the first two games Bobby Fischer and Petrosian head to game number 3 tied at one game apiece.

This is Lilienthal's most famous queen sacrifice which he made against the 3rd World Chess Champion Jose Raul Capablanca! In his book "Liliental's 100 best games" Lilienthal writes: "To tell the truth, I am very grateful to Capablanca for this move! Since the time we played this game many years had passed, yet wherever I went on a demonstration tour, both in the Soviet union and elsewhere, chess players and fans always asked me to show them how I sacrificed the queen against the great Cuban." https://www.youtube.com/embed/8QoPG85pcT0 467 2019-11-12T15:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/material-imbalance-rook-and-pawn-vs-bishop-and-knight/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ZLjBPN2TuLE.jpg Material Imbalance – Rook and Pawn vs Bishop and Knight 📥 Download the PGN of games shown in this video lesson - Material imbalance is when there are different kinds of pieces on the board for compensation, such as a queen for two rooks. In this video, we will learn about the material imbalance where there is a rook and a pawn against a bishop and a knight. Is it okay to trade your bishop and knight for a rook and a pawn? Or is it okay to exchange your rook and a pawn for two minor pieces? Which is better and in what positions? https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZLjBPN2TuLE 1089 2019-11-12T18:31:13+00:00 https://chessterra.com/saying-im-embarrassed-doesnt-begin-to-explain-the-feeling-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/9Bd6oFMi2Jw.jpg Saying I’m embarrassed doesn’t begin to explain the feeling. | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played one of the worse training games in November. I faced what is probably one of the worse openings black could possibly play. It gives white more than a +2 advantage on move 2. And then I blunder a piece on move 4.

I have to say this was by far our most interesting game so far! We played a Modern Scandinavian in which everything revolved around the d5 break, whether white could play it or not, and if black was defending it enough. The position was better for Jon (he was white), but it wasn’t so easy to build up the advantage, or to convert it into something palpable. In that locked stalemate position with d5 in its center, Jon went for a pawn sac, which was veeeery interesting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WlX-U9HhXco 2518 2019-11-11T08:06:59+00:00 https://chessterra.com/grand-prix-fide-hamburg-2019-semi-finals-game-1/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/66H2R93I_x0.jpg Grand Prix FIDE Hamburg 2019 Semi-finals Game 1 Grand Prix FIDE Hamburg 2019 Semi-finals Game 1 https://www.youtube.com/embed/66H2R93I_x0 11886 2019-11-11T17:19:32+00:00 https://chessterra.com/fide-grand-prix-hamburg-2019-halbfinale-partie-1/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JqJmt2jCigc.jpg FIDE Grand Prix Hamburg 2019 – Halbfinale, Partie 1.

He is an extremely talented young player and he is already very good, despite having started chess only a few months ago! Games against him are becoming harder and harder to play, and I feel his playing strength rising each month. His starting elo is over 1700, which is more than what I’d started with.

It basically kills any chance for black to play for an advantage or any sort of imbalance in the position. That means that it’s a great weapon for weaker players to use against stronger ones, and that it’s great for killing counter play and making tactically strong players handicapped because the chance of a tactic occurring is extremely low. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cw5wQQT6iZg 1175 2019-11-10T13:22:14+00:00 https://chessterra.com/partidas-inmortales-bobby-fischer-vs-mija-l-tal/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/BcyLnsg_S6E.jpg Partidas Inmortales Bobby Fischer Vs Mija l Tal Partidas Inmortales Bobby Fischer Vs Mija l Tal https://www.youtube.com/embed/BcyLnsg_S6E 534 2012-10-07T18:09:53+00:00 https://chessterra.com/fide-grand-prix-hamburg-2019-runde-1-stichkampfe/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/XRFwuT3BT2k.jpg FIDE Grand Prix Hamburg 2019, Runde 1 Stichkämpfe Deutsche Livekommentierung mit den Großmeistern Ilja Zaragatski und Niclas Huschenbeth https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRFwuT3BT2k 17845 2019-11-07T19:44:28+00:00 https://chessterra.com/fide-world-chess-grand-prix-hamburg-2019-round-2-game-1/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/I5kUBbpz7VE.jpg FIDE World Chess Grand Prix Hamburg 2019.

White offers the c4 pawn in exchange for central control if it’s taken, and black has a choice to make. He can take it, accepting the gambit, or he can defend his d5 pawn which has been attacked with c4. Defending it with pawns is the only sensible option since playing Nf6, and allowing cxd5 Nxd5 would be met with e4, expanding in the center with tempo. https://www.youtube.com/embed/arOboSUK-m0 2023 2019-11-02T12:27:51+00:00 https://chessterra.com/slav-defense-theory-chameleon-variation/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/c1_wWyUBOOw.jpg Slav Defense Theory: Chameleon Variation 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" For an introduction to the Slav Defense, watch this video on the basics: The Slav Defense branches out into several key variations. White is the first one to choose. He can meet the Slav with Nf3, Nc3, e3 or taking on d5. Playing Nf3, the most natural move, leads to the main lines of the opening. After black plays Nf6, and white plays Nc3, we come to the main branching of theory. If black now plays e6, closing the pawn triangle down, we have entered the Semi-Slav. The Slav can be played three different ways; the main line is dxc4, preparing to develop the bishop to f5 without dire consequences. Two main alternatives are a6, the Chameleon variation, and g6, Schlechter variation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c1_wWyUBOOw 1664 2019-11-03T12:38:48+00:00 https://chessterra.com/veeery-risky-play-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/l_tBx4Lz7oc.jpg Veeery Risky Play | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I started another training cycle. It will last until December 1st. My goal is to reach 2100 on lichess classical (again). I failed the first time, but this time I have more time, and I will take the games much more seriously and play relaxed and ready, as if they were real tournament games. The first game was an Exchange Slav in which my opponent played a sound variation which I thought was losing. He weakened his queenside by playing Bf4 and e3, leaving b2 and the diagonal towards his king unattended. That is a theoretical line, but it’s really easy to make a mistake and blunder material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l_tBx4Lz7oc 2260 2019-11-03T20:05:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/sometimes-my-iq-is-4-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/fpYzBzskhK8.jpg Sometimes my IQ is 4 | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played the second game of the new training cycle and the goal to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of November.

Suren Is Back With A Scary Mask The Halloween Gambit (also known as the Müller–Schulze Gambit or Leipzig Gambit) is an aggressive chess opening gambit in which White sacrifices a knight early on for a single pawn. The modern name "Halloween Gambit" was given by the German player Steffen Jakob, who explained that "Many players are shocked, the way they would be frightened by a Halloween mask, when they are mentally prepared for a boring Four Knight's, and then they are faced with Nxe5." https://www.youtube.com/embed/p4Y_Zj1iELU 317 2019-10-31T18:00:06+00:00 https://chessterra.com/best-of-magnus-carlsen-or-the-game-that-made-him-famous/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/q6GJuMjCzfY.jpg Best Of Magnus Carlsen Or The Game That Made Him Famous 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen plays a brilliant attacking game vs Dutch Im Sipke Ernst where he sacrifices his pieces one after another and finally announces a fantastic Epaulette mate!

Before continuing with normal d4 theory, I have covered the Halloween Gambit. An unsound, but very aggressive opening gambit for white. As opposed to most opening gambits in which one side sacrifices a pawn or two, in this one white gives up a whole knight! White takes on e5, winning a pawn and several very annoying tempi. White plays for immediate dynamic compensation and claims that black’s extra piece is worth nothing when it’s still stuck on the back rank. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FU8gegkzMLk 677 2019-10-31T11:41:26+00:00 https://chessterra.com/dont-mess-with-the-caro-kann-road-to-gm-game-113/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/yA0Cn2bCL_A.jpg Don’t Mess With the Caro-Kann | Road to GM, Game 113 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" The last round of the tournament went as planned – an easy win in the Caro-Kann! I played the Classical variation after a very long time, I usually play the Karpov, and it proved to be a good decision. My opponent is very aggressive and likes to play tactical positions, so I wanted to calm things down as much as possible. He tried to complicate matters but failed. His position was lost on move 18. Don’t mess with the Caro-Kann! https://www.youtube.com/embed/yA0Cn2bCL_A 1086 2019-11-01T12:39:42+00:00 https://chessterra.com/introduction-to-the-slav-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/9RXEvHZmbZU.jpg Introduction to the Slav Defense 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" The Slav Defense is one of the most common defenses to d4, more specifically, to the Queen’s Gambit (1. d4 d5 2. c4). White offers the c4 pawn in exchange for central control if it’s taken, and black has a choice to make. He can take it, accepting the gambit, or he can defend his d5 pawn which has been attacked with c4. Defending it with pawns is the only sensible option since playing Nf6, and allowing cxd5 Nxd5 would be met with e4, expanding in the center with tempo. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9RXEvHZmbZU 789 2019-11-01T16:56:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/completely-winning-but-not-really-so-vs-nepo-world-fischer-random-championship-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/4_Uz2KviIyw.jpg Completely Winning, But Not Really || So vs Nepo || World Fischer Random Championship (2019) Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here https://www.youtube.com/embed/4_Uz2KviIyw 874 2019-10-30T19:07:23+00:00 https://chessterra.com/mate-in-13-dubov-vs-svane-european-team-championship-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/cocbOmTO3ac.jpg Mate in 13!!! || Dubov vs Svane || European Team Championship (2019) Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here https://www.youtube.com/embed/cocbOmTO3ac 942 2019-10-31T16:50:34+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-final-match-carlsen-vs-wesley-so-world-fischer-random-championship-2019-game-1/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/C4YWFzQ36Js.jpg The Final Match! || Carlsen vs Wesley So || World Fischer Random Championship (2019) GAME 1 Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here https://www.youtube.com/embed/C4YWFzQ36Js 976 2019-10-31T18:55:16+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bravo-gentlemen-bravo-wesley-so-vs-carlsen-world-fischer-random-championship-2019-game-2/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/gtUvgKkL-7Q.jpg Bravo Gentlemen, Bravo! || Wesley So vs Carlsen || World Fischer Random Championship (2019) GAME 2 Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here https://www.youtube.com/embed/gtUvgKkL-7Q 1175 2019-10-31T21:34:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/2-endgame-masters-1-sweet-tactical-mate-carlini-vs-fm-mark-the-duck/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/wf82DkN6-E4.jpg 2 Endgame Masters, 1 Sweet Tactical Mate!

He played this game as White against Vladimir Potkin, who is a coach of Sergey Karjakin. Therefore, it's a very interesting clash. Potkin was a European Champion; therefore, he is a strong grandmaster too. Therefore, it is even more interesting to see how Carlsen managed to totally destroy his castling and create a devastating attack seemingly out of a standard position. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_0V0ncwXlJA 911 2019-10-25T18:59:56+00:00 https://chessterra.com/when-a-surprise-backfires-road-to-gm-game-108/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/w8lhFXBsxaQ.jpg When a Surprise Backfires | Road to GM, Game 108 I played something other than e4 for the first time in my life in this game.

Alekhine? Alekhine! | Training Game A training game in the Alekhine Defense. The position was very thematic, and very hard to play, at least for me. We played a position in which white was seemingly much better, but all of the theoretical advantages were almost impossible to convert to real ones. I just had a feeling I was slightly better. His knight was on a5, stuck defending his c4 and c6 isolated doubled pawns. That was surely an advantage. But, on the other hand, the c4 pawn gave the knight an outpost on b3 which he eventually managed to utilize. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xI2XKRSYqE4 3000 2019-10-08T14:23:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/staying-calm-is-hard-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/EQZwdAWVNcg.jpg Staying Calm is Hard… | Training Game A training game which ended in a very instructive rook endgame with three pawns each. Learn from this one! I faced a very good played, rated 2250. He tried to provoke me with psychological tricks early on. In the end, he wrote “GG” in the chat when we were still playing, telling me to resign. I guess that’s mind warfare which is supposed to get to me and irritate me. I have to say it did. I will have to work on coping with that. I hope I will become immune to provocations like that in the future. Anyway, congratulations to him on a brilliantly played endgame. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EQZwdAWVNcg 3884 2019-10-09T11:13:05+00:00 https://chessterra.com/round-1-of-lichtenrader-herbst-2019-road-to-gm-game-105/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/un8lw4KZVws.jpg Round 1 of Lichtenrader Herbst 2019 | Road to GM, Game 105 The Berlin tournament just finished.

Has anyone before seen a serious game where one side has two queens, both en prise and unprotected even, to the same enemy piece, with each queen being able to deliver mate in one upon the capture of the other?

The start of the game was terrible for Yu Yangyi because while blitzing out moves he lost 2 pawns very quickly and already on move 10 he had a lost position! With only one simple move Vitiugov could win a piece and virtually force his opponent to resign but he started making inaccuracies one after another and not only failed to draw but even lost! https://www.youtube.com/embed/fqTwtXvWs8Y 404 2019-09-26T03:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/i-am-playing-the-killer-dutch-on-lichess/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/0c-yZT_LVLI.jpg I Am Playing The Killer Dutch On Lichess Playing Dutch defense against a subscriber who challenged me on lichess.org!

They require a very deep strategic understanding of the game. Unlike the normal sacrifices, where the player sacrifices a piece/pawn to attack the opponent’s king or regain material, the aim of positional sacrifices is to get a positional advantage. They are so hard to make that even chess engines don’t spot them easily. In this video, we will see one such brilliant positional queen sacrifice – it’s from the game played between Yuri Gusev and Yuri Averbakh in the year 1946. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5vXYP82vYEc 1457 2019-09-28T21:34:32+00:00 https://chessterra.com/this-game-was-absolutely-mad-road-to-gm-game-103/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/7h7T40eYf8o.jpg This Game Was Absolutely Mad | Road to GM, Game 103 An absolutely mental attacking game in the Pirc in which every move mattered and which could have ended in all three results until the very end.

Valerio had prepared for it, unlike me unfortunately. And he prepared well! He prepared for the Tal variation of the Caro-Kann (along with several other variations against other defenses), which is a very aggressive choice for white, and it often leads to sharp positions in which black can quickly get in trouble. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1T1AL6gc234 1622 2019-09-23T15:48:43+00:00 https://chessterra.com/checkmate-with-a-pawn-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/FTG4IJsmDgA.jpg Checkmate!

Skip over to 30:30 if you want to try and calculate immediately. As you may know, I am trying to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of the month. So far it hasn’t been going too well. I seem to be losing games just as often as winning. And almost always it’s because of my inability to play well in positions which are complicated and tactical. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PYiJAoPaQuw 2994 2019-09-25T16:55:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/i-finally-played-well-81-points-4-days-to-go-training-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/5AyZfZhkgog.jpg I Finally Played Well (81 points/4 days to go) | Training Game(s) Two training games played on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of September! Today I played two games because the first one was short. I played lower rated opponents in both because I couldn’t get stronger ones through the filtered search. The first game was in the early e3 Colle/Quiet Slav. I had an advantage from a very early stage because my opponent wasted time on h3 and a3. The second game was tougher. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5AyZfZhkgog 2831 2019-09-26T14:44:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/this-was-weird-65-points-3-days-to-go-training-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/inKQJDuF4To.jpg This Was Weird (65 points/3 days to go) | Training Game(s) Three training games played on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of September! Today I played two games against a really strange opponent. In the first one he gave up a pawn and was lost. But then I took a poisoned bishop and got mated. Well. That’s life I guess. In the second he just gave up a piece! The third game was normal, luckily. I played an Exchange Caro-Kann against a stronger opponent and managed to win in the end, but it was tough. Plenty of errors made. 65 more points to go until Octover 1st! https://www.youtube.com/embed/inKQJDuF4To 4792 2019-09-27T14:50:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/opposite-colored-bishops-can-be-lost-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/D7QsjVaUzZU.jpg Opposite Colored Bishops Can be Lost! | Training Game A very interesting training game in the Karpov Caro-Kann which finished with an instructive opposite colored bishop endgame. Today I played a game which was equal from start to finish. A calm Caro-Kann in which neither side had a chance to go for an advantage in the middlegame. We ended up trading everything off and entered an opposite colored bishops endgame in which the evaluation was of course 0.00. But… Only with good play (not even perfect). I made a very serious mistake of putting my king on a light square (color of his bishop), and allowed him to win. He could have won with a simple check! He didn’t see that, fortunately, and I managed to correct my mistake and draw. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D7QsjVaUzZU 3437 2019-09-28T13:15:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/learn-from-this-rook-and-pawn-ending-i-must-training-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/vWpV7Se2zoE.jpg Learn From This Rook and Pawn Ending! (I must) | Training Game(s) Two training games on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by October 1st! The first one was great. In the second… I got away with a lot. The first one was an easy win against a lower rated opponent. I managed to win a pawn and open up his kingside. In general, he played too quickly and didn’t analyze at all I think. The second game was way more interesting. He played the anti fried liver and I could have punished him very early on but I missed my chance. We traded off everything but the rooks and we got a very closed rook and pawn endgame. It was equal but I allowed him activity. The rest you can see in the video and analyze for yourself. I don’t think I’ve ever played a more instructive rook endgame in a training game. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vWpV7Se2zoE 4688 2019-09-29T12:43:45+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-very-risky-knight-sacrifice-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/AzHjNTBCqcQ.jpg A Very Risky Knight Sacrifice | Training Game A very interesting training game in the Advance Caro-Kann which in which my opponent went for a scary Nxe6 piece sacrifice. This is the third training game of the day. I faced a player with a provisional rating and I was black. He went for the Advance Variation of the Caro Kann and I played pretty well. I know the plans in that structure and I like playing it so I knew what to do with most of my pieces and I was aware of his threats. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AzHjNTBCqcQ 2971 2019-09-29T13:55:45+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-devastating-tactical-combination-and-rook-sacrifice-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/6QxZseeumMI.jpg A Devastating Tactical Combination and Rook Sacrifice! | Training Game A training game which ended with a beautiful tactical combination played on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by October 1st! I think this was my best training game ever! I played an opening I know well, and I played wothout a single serious mistake! My opponent tried to hold on to his “extra pawn”, a common temporary pawn sac line in the Tarrasch. That is very dangerous. I punished him with a very beautiful rook sacrifice which won his queen! https://www.youtube.com/embed/6QxZseeumMI 2259 2019-09-29T18:04:19+00:00 https://chessterra.com/what-a-patzer-training-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/y90FJ57MxJo.jpg What a Patzer… | Training Game(s) Two training games on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by October 1st! 9 hours to go!

Jon went for the Short Variation, which is considered to be the main line today, and is objectively the best way to fight the closed pawn triangle black has in the variation. White simply prepares to castle and he has a huge lead in development and space. Black, on the other hand, has no weaknesses and has a clear plan of attack, or at least, a very natural way to deploy his pieces. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2v73xrr8jMQ 1810 2019-09-20T14:02:14+00:00 https://chessterra.com/%e0%a4%ac%e0%a5%89%e0%a4%ac%e0%a5%80-%e0%a4%ab%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%b6%e0%a4%b0-%e0%a4%95%e0%a5%80-%e0%a4%95%e0%a4%b9%e0%a4%be%e0%a4%a8%e0%a5%80-life-of-the-great-bobby-fischer/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GfjMntOLq_4.jpg बॉबी फिशर की कहानी !

In this opening, White would like to trade his bishop for Black’s knight and also to destroy Black’s pawn structure on the kingside. Therefore, White tends to keep the center closed since Black will have the bishop-pair advantage. Players who play the Kings Indian Defense tend to keep their knight on f6 (instead of attacking the bishop with 2…Ne4) and play 2…c5, attacking White’s central pawn. After 3.d5 Qb6, Black is attacking the b2-pawn. 4.Qc1 is not possible because the d5-pawn is hanging. 4.b3 is very passive and Black can solve all his problems with 4…Ne4. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t7LFJKDgddc 1904 2019-09-12T11:27:52+00:00 https://chessterra.com/queen-vs-rook-endgame-tactics/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/OQM4NK8kQ3E.jpg Queen vs Rook Endgame Tactics Practice this endgame tactic: Email for recommendations: thechesswebsite@gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/embed/OQM4NK8kQ3E 517 2019-09-16T02:45:37+00:00 https://chessterra.com/adelaide-counter-gambit-kings-gambit-variation/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ikFbzsTH6rc.jpg Adelaide Counter Gambit – Kings Gambit Variation This is my favorite counter when I face the Kings Gambit.

The Meran Semi Slav positions are characterized by black’s pawn advance on the queenside (b5, a6, c5), which aims to liberate the bad c8 bishop and enable it to develop on the long a8-h1 diagonal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KJxIGyrHfFA 1697 2019-09-13T14:18:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-anti-meran-semi-slav/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/4OSL-UuCfSU.jpg The Anti-Meran Semi-Slav The Anti-Meran variations have become the more popular choice for white to fight the Semi Slav than the normal Bd3 Meran. By avoiding black’s simplest plan to equalize, white is trying to go for advantage! The Meran positions occur after the move 6. Bd3. All other moves, Qc2, which is the most popular in particular, are named the Anti-Merans. By not playing Bd3, white is not allowing black to play the tempo gaining sequence starting with dxc4 and b5, chasing away the bishop and preparing to play a6, Bb7, and c5 – the life saving pawn break black has to play in order to open up his worst piece, the bishop on c8 which is stuck behind the Semi-Slav pawn triangle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4OSL-UuCfSU 1142 2019-09-13T15:10:06+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-moscow-semi-slav/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/OjnEQtH-so4.jpg The Moscow Semi-Slav The Moscow Variation is one of the most interesting Semi-Slav positions. It’s maneuvering, positional, and it requires a deep understanding of the pieces and the squares in the position. It branches out of Bg5, the main alternative for e3 for white. Bg5 is considered to be a more aggressive move, as it can lead to the super sharp Botvinnik or Anti-Moscow positions. But if black doesn’t go for the Botvinnik variation, and plays h6, white now has a choice to make. He can either retreat the bishop to h4, a move that leads to mad positions called the Anti-Moscow, or he can simply take the f6 knight. If he takes, we enter the Moscow Variation of the Semi Slav. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OjnEQtH-so4 1058 2019-09-14T15:57:43+00:00 https://chessterra.com/well-this-was-embarrassing-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/wlMMgs7QqVc.jpg Well This Was Embarrassing | Training Game A training game against a patron in the Moscow Variation of the Semi Slav. From now on I’ll be recording training games as often as I can. I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics (goal complete!) and 2100 in lichess classical. Meruzhan, whom I’ve played twice so far, has made reaching my goal much harder. He won the second time! Once again he played a very good game, almost no mistakes, and I played like a complete patzer. Good game Meruzhan. Learn from my mistakes guys.

The Anti-Moscow Variation is one of the sharpest, most double-edged, most aggressive and most interesting Semi-Slav positions! The positions arising from the Anti-Moscow are absolutely mad. The whole idea for white is to give up his c4 pawn, allow black to secure it by playing b5, making it a solidly defended extra pawn, and then to smash black to bits! Black has an extra pawn, but his pieces are still stuck on the back rank, and his king is still in the center. At the same time, white is naturally deploying his forces and preparing an attack. The positions are much easier to play for white because of that. It’s often the case that black has to play “only moves”, and white can afford to go wrong and be imprecise. The Anti Moscow is very aggressive and one wrong move could mean a switch from +1 to -1 or even more. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mVYv9owjAVI 1369 2019-09-16T12:05:49+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-botvinnik-semi-slav-handle-with-care/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/7ttkxxnHKrc.jpg The Botvinnik Semi-Slav (Handle with care!) The Botvinnik Variation is an absolutely mental opening which guarantees a tactically mad game which is very unlikely to end in a draw. It starts after white plays the move Bg5 (instead the more popular e3). Now black has the option to play h6, going into the Moscow or the Anti-Moscow, or he can take on c4 immediately, entering the Botvinnik. Black grabs a flank pawn, which means that his d pawn is not in the center anymore. The d5 pawn was preventing the move e4, which is a huge defensive role. And white now plays e4! Since the move Bg5 pins the f6 knight, white is now threatening to play e5, simply winning a piece. But… If black defends against that, the move e4 has also opened up the f1 bishop, and white would then be able to simply take on c4, regaining his pawn and have a huge lead in development. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7ttkxxnHKrc 1308 2019-09-17T14:48:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/greatest-endgame-bobby-fischer-vs-mark-taimanov-1971-why-bishop-is-better-than-knight/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/uhQYXUR0kUM.jpg Greatest Endgame : Bobby Fischer vs Mark Taimanov 1971 | Why Bishop is better than Knight!

In Sicilian Najdorf Jakovenko launches a strong attack sacrifices two pawns then two minor pieces and by relying on opponent's inaccurate defense soon wins the game with a beautiful queen sacrifice! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/6zvRfCHWXBI 470 2019-09-11T16:15:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/three-knights-leningrad-and-romanishin-variations-of-the-nimzo-indian/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/m72ZlWmplJw-1.jpg Three Knights, Leningrad and Romanishin Variations of the Nimzo-Indian In this video I have covered three different ways for white to fight the Nimzo Indian Defense. For the basics of the opening and plans and ideas for both sides, watch this introductory video: The Three Knights variation is one of the main moves for white. It’s a sensible, developing move which brings white one move closer to castling and getting his king to safety. Black has several responses to Nf3, some of which transpose to different openings. In fact, I would say that 4. Nf3, is most likely to lead away from the Nimzo Indian. The most probable transpositions are either to the Queen’s Indian Defense or to the Ragozin Defense. https://www.youtube.com/embed/m72ZlWmplJw 1392 2019-09-11T12:07:15+00:00 https://chessterra.com/introduction-to-the-semi-slav-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/OXffjL9fLAw-1.jpg Introduction to the Semi-Slav Defense The Semi-Slav Defense is one of the most exciting and most reliable openings in all of chess and it has been successfully employed by strong grandmasters ever since its conception. The Semi Slav is a defense to d4. It is one of the most popular ways for black to fight it. It’s solied, and considered to be one of the “main line openings”, meaning that it’s not risky or unsound. It is extremely versatile, and the middlegames which occur from it can be both positional and slow, and sharp and tactical in nature. That makes it one of the best openings for understanding every part and style of chess. It doesn’t restrain you to one type of positions like many simpler openings. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OXffjL9fLAw 1163 2019-09-11T14:38:43+00:00 https://chessterra.com/who-will-be-the-next-challenger-press-vs-ding-fide-world-cup-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/XiZpBvFlEjM-1.jpg Who Will Be the Next Challenger? || Press vs Ding || FIDE World Cup (2019) Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here Download agadmator chess clock for Android here Shaun Press vs Liren Ding FIDE World Cup (2019), Khanty-Mansiysk, RUS , rd 1.1, Sep-10 Sicilian, closed, 6.Be3 (B26) 1. e4 c5 2.

It’s played on all levels, and it hasn’t lost its popularity ever since it’s inventor, the great Aaron Nimzowitsch, introduced it in the early 20th century. For the basics of the opening and plans and ideas for both sides, watch this introductory video: The main line of this popular defense starts after white plays e4 on move 4. This is the most solid of all options white has against the Nimzo. Unlike all the other moves he can play, e3 prepares to simply develop and castle. In most other lines, white falls behind in development and allows black a quick positioning of his pieces in exchange for the broad center and making sure that black can’t take on c3, doubling white’s pawns. In the main line, therefore, white often does have to accept the fact that black can take on c3 and ruin his structure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04208aqgKMc 1622 2019-09-07T12:52:40+00:00 https://chessterra.com/nimzo-indian-put-to-the-test-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/kLQvCziOfrs.jpg Nimzo Indian Put to the Test! | Training Game I will be playing one every day and try to play the theoretical variation I am recording that day. From now on I’ll be recording training games as often as I can. I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics (goal complete!) and 2100 in lichess classical. Today I a game in the Main Line Nimzo, the variation I have covered in today’s video. I played Jon, a patron in the Fischer tier. I will try to play a patron every day in the covered variation. I think that will help you and me understand the opening better. Theory and practice are the same in theory but not in practice!

For the basics of the opening and plans and ideas for both sides, watch this introductory video: The Classical Nimzo Indian is a very logical idea for white. The move Qc2 simply tries to prevent black's idea of doubling white's c pawns by taking on c3, and it also increases control over the very important e4 square. It has been played by many great players of the past, which proves it's a more than viable alternative to the main move e3. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F76JoIqy3Cg 1726 2019-09-08T12:29:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/and-the-blunder-of-the-year-is-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Im_BIp4nws8.jpg And the Blunder of the Year Is… | Training Game A training game in the Qc2 (classical) Nimzo Indian.

For the basics of the opening and plans and ideas for both sides, watch this introductory video: The basic struggle which can be seen in every Nimzo Indian variation is the fight over the e4 square. White will go to extreme lengths to push e4 through, and black will do even more to try and prevent that. That is what makes the move f3 extremely logical and appealing for white. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hFbXn_zBrD8 1552 2019-09-10T15:23:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/f3-nimzo-indian-busted-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2gbRsHNJkiU.jpg F3 Nimzo-Indian Busted! | Training Game A training game against a patron in the f3 (Kmoch) variation of the Nimzo Indian Defense.

Believe me losing is hard, but resigning in a winning position is a tragedy! __________________________ https://www.youtube.com/embed/ptFDA_wnC_s 454 2019-09-06T04:00:08+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-interview-before-facing-boris-spassky-in-1972/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/3fz_cDdEjxo.jpg Bobby Fischer interview before facing Boris Spassky in 1972 Bobby Fischer interview before facing Boris Spassky in 1972 https://www.youtube.com/embed/3fz_cDdEjxo 559 2017-11-06T09:44:59+00:00 https://chessterra.com/kasparovs-most-convincing-victory-over-caruana-in-9lx-champions-showdown-match/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/3rd-5THfRa0.jpg Kasparov’s Most Convincing Victory Over Caruana In 9LX Champions Showdown Match Caruana vs Kasparov Chess 9LX match ended with a score of 19-7 with Caruana's convincing victory! In many games Kasparov managed to gain advantage just from the opening but as he was spending too much time thinking found himself in time trouble and suffered painful losses! In game seven (day 3) Kasparov completely dominated from start to finish, showing no mercy to his talented opponent and crushed easily! In this video I am covering that game!

Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical. Today I played a bad game I’m sorry to say. I won at the end, but it was definitely undeserved. I misplayed the opening and the early middlegame and gave my opponent several chances to just go a pawn up and have a simply winning position. I was lucky he missed it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rP9BFmTZhPk 2479 2019-09-06T17:40:24+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-2005/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rS9n-8bmhV0.jpg Bobby Fischer (2005) Bobby Fischer (2005) https://www.youtube.com/embed/rS9n-8bmhV0 5114 2017-03-17T06:37:27+00:00 https://chessterra.com/reporting-a-murder-kasparov-vs-caruana-c-s-chess-9lx-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/oVb06B8uIQ0.jpg Reporting a Murder || Kasparov vs Caruana || C.S.

Tal being a tactical monster, prevails over his opponent's skills when reaching slightly complex positions! After opponent's first mistake Tal gets a dominating position with a simple tactical shot and by activating his pieces rapidly gets a winning position! In the end Cherepkov steps into a simple combination which allows Tal to win two minor pieces with the help of a fork!

In Lommer's puzzles underpromotions are something which can be see very often and this one is not an exception!

Kasparov Finds The Only Losing Move In this video I am analyzing a Chess960 game from Fabiano Caruana vs Garry Kasparov chess match played in St. Luis at Champions Showdown with a rapid time control! After totally outplaying his young opponent Kasparov makes a terrible blunder, the worst move possible in that position, and loses when facing opponent's counterattack! As Kasparov said after the game: "It was a great game; I fully outplayed him. If I didn’t make a move, it was still winning! The position was so good, just don’t blunder. There was hardly any move that wasn’t winning. OK, I found one." https://www.youtube.com/embed/m3oMVS1O-dM 426 2019-09-04T03:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-little-known-brilliant-attack-by-17-year-old-mikhail-tal/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Q7eOTb2hHTg.jpg A Little Known Brilliant Attack By 17 Year Old Mikhail Tal Here is a brilliant attacking game played by 17 year old Mikhail Tal vs Teodors Zeids! Despite the fact that this game is little known and appears nowhere in Tal's books but this game is a brilliant example of Tal's attacking style, which was well developed even from early age! With a powerful king-side attack Tal blows apart opponent's camp and in view of an imminent checkmate forces to resign!

But have you ever wondered what is the first recorded queen sacrifice? And here is the answer! In this video I am analyzing a famous chess miniature known as to be the earliest recorded game where queen sacrifice was made! The game was played by Italian chess player and writer Gioachino Greco who recorded some of the earliest chess games known in their entirety. His games, all given with anonymous opponents ("NN", for the Latin nomen nescio), were quite possibly constructs, although still Mikhail Botvinnik considered Greco to be the first professional chess player. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bb-E6aYNin4 261 2019-09-05T03:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/gm-eric-hansen-pushing-for-1st-place-in-titled-tuesday-sep-2019-who-is-this-yasser-guy/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/AjLdEK6K0oY.jpg GM Eric Hansen pushing for 1st place in TITLED TUESDAY Sep 2019 | Who is this Yasser guy?! ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/AjLdEK6K0oY 5545 2019-09-05T16:14:21+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-trompowsky-attack-played-by-julian-hodgson/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MA5VNVOU_oo.jpg The Trompowsky Attack Played by Julian Hodgson ♕ Download the PGN of these games in this blog-post - The Trompowsky Attack begins with the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5, and it is a popular alternative for White after Black’s 1…Nf6. So, it is kind of a side-line which can be used from time to time, especially in rapid and blitz games. One of the key characteristics of this opening is that it avoids getting into the ocean of opening theories in the various Indian defenses – Queen’s Indian, Nimzo-Indian, King’s Indian, and even the Grunfeld Defense. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MA5VNVOU_oo 1022 2019-09-02T20:01:43+00:00 https://chessterra.com/evans-gambit-conquest-attack/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/7v4JNg3sD9A.jpg Evans Gambit: Conquest Attack For more chess openings check out The Conquest Attack starts with the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4 Bb6 5. a4 a6 6. Nc3 Nf6 7. d4 and tries to give black another opportunity to accept a gambit and give white strong attacking lines. The Evans Gambit is one of the most popular gambits so you should have many opportunities to try out the Conquest Attack if you play the EG. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7v4JNg3sD9A 793 2019-09-02T15:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-checkmate-combination-training-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GWfq3B_978s.jpg A Checkmate Combination! | Training Game(s) There you can also find extra daily content, in depth information on each daily video, as well as exercises and problems to solve.

There you can also find extra daily content, in depth information on each daily video, as well as exercises and problems to solve. The Anti-Grünfeld is an extremely sharp opening which gets black out of his normal Grünfeld comfort zone and theory. White has one strategy when he employs it; checkmate! If you are struggling against the Grünfeld defense and don’t have a variation you know well and like playing, the f3 madness might be just what you were looking for. The opening is very aggressive and simple to learn. It’s a setup for white, rather than a series of moves you have to learn. White develops and castles queenside. And tries to checkmate. It’s as simple as that! https://www.youtube.com/embed/sTEkh-p24mI 1533 2019-09-03T11:29:47+00:00 https://chessterra.com/weird-philidor-gambit-destroyed-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/6OiLMN-Fwn8.jpg Weird Philidor Gambit Destroyed | Training Game I will be playing one every day and try to play the theoretical variation I am recording that day. From now on I’ll be recording training games as often as I can. I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical. My opponent played a strange pawn sacrifice in the opening. He did have some compensation but should have played more aggressively and precisely. Since he didn't, I was simply a pawn up. It ended up being a somewhat tricky conversion because I got low on time, though. Still, an unsound gambit! https://www.youtube.com/embed/6OiLMN-Fwn8 3037 2019-09-03T19:22:31+00:00 https://chessterra.com/fight-the-grunfeld-with-the-russian-system/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/u3uNu5LW18k.jpg Fight the Grünfeld with the Russian System There you can also find extra daily content, in depth information on each daily video, as well as exercises and problems to solve. The Russian System, pioneered by the Soviet grandmasters of the 20th century, is the positional approach to fighting the Grünfeld Defense. It gets the queen out early and thus supports white’s expanded center. But that comes at a cost! Black castles first and is up in development. White tries to compensate for that with his broad center. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u3uNu5LW18k 1595 2019-09-04T11:22:27+00:00 https://chessterra.com/russian-system-in-the-grunfeld-almost-crushed-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/PZPex5LIwIA.jpg Russian System in the Grünfeld (almost!)

I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical. Today’s game was in the Russian System of the Grünfeld. The variation I have gone over today. I played a patron rated 2200. It was a theoretical battle up to move 16. After that, he misplayed the middlegame and I have slowly but surely accumulated an advantage. That advantage soon won me a pawn. But. I haven’t followed up my plan of playing a very important prophylactic move and things got messy. Still I managed to outplay him since he was under severe time pressure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PZPex5LIwIA 4376 2019-09-04T14:19:14+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-neo-grunfeld-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/jlHXqSh4mek.jpg The Neo-Grünfeld Defense There you can also find extra daily content, in depth information on each daily video, as well as exercises and problems to solve. Neo-Grünfeld Defense is an unusual way for white to try and challenge black’s modern approach to the opening. It’s characterized by the move Bg2, white also fianchettoes his kingside bishop. He basically copies black. But there’s a difference. White has a stronger, broader center. White has central pawns which exert more control over the key squares, while black is yet to challenge the center. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jlHXqSh4mek 1566 2019-09-05T10:22:34+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-crushing-11-move-miniature-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/TIJPOVcIA3U.jpg A Crushing 11 Move Miniature! | Training Game I will be playing one every day and try to play the theoretical variation I am recording that day.

Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical. Today’s game was a really beautiful miniature in the Deutz Gambit! I play that opening occasionally, when I want to have an aggressive game and get my opponent out of prep. There are two solid and one bad way to accept the gambit. My opponent chose the latter. He took with the knight, which loses instantly if white knows what he’s doing. I had to remember my theory unfortunately, but eventually I played the best refutation and won in 11 moves! https://www.youtube.com/embed/TIJPOVcIA3U 794 2019-09-05T13:41:18+00:00 https://chessterra.com/one-last-roll-of-the-dice-bent-larsen-vs-bobby-fischer-game-6-candidates-1971/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rcgyTlEp_UI.jpg One last roll of the dice – Bent Larsen vs Bobby Fischer Game 6 | Candidates 1971 One last roll of the dice – Bent Larsen vs Bobby Fischer Game 6 | Candidates 1971 https://www.youtube.com/embed/rcgyTlEp_UI 1092 2019-09-03T10:45:06+00:00 https://chessterra.com/running-out-of-time-lasker-vs-capablanca-wcc-game-12-1921/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ax_Bhpv68ao.jpg Running Out Of Time || Lasker vs Capablanca || WCC Game 12 (1921) Capablanca vs Lasker negotiations here Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here Download agadmator chess clock for Android here Watch Capablanca Saga from the beginning here Emanuel Lasker vs Jose Raul Capablanca Lasker - Capablanca World Championship Match (1921), Havana CUB, rd 12, Apr-16 Spanish Game: Berlin Defense.

The Chinese GM earned $82,500 and 16.5 Grand Chess Tour points as he won the two blitz games. Carlsen hadn't lost a single playoff since his Candidates' match with Levon Aronian in 2007. Since then he played 10 tiebreaks, and won all 10. Carlsen took the loss graciously: ”I got to say that he was a lot better than I was today so he won absolutely deservedly.” In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/G9XBq_I34RY 443 2019-08-30T15:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/an-unexpected-queen-sacrifice-on-move-9/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rNqiKyb30rA.jpg An Unexpected Queen Sacrifice On Move 9 Here is a brilliant attacking game where on move 9 Black goes for a queen sacrifice and once White makes a mistake Black's attack turns out to be unstoppable!

Vlatko is lower rated than I am, but he is a very good player. In fact, we met when he beat me in a game! My team was playing his old team in the Croatian league. He had white and destroyed me with the London.

From now on I’ll be recording training games as often as I can. I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical. I have so far managed to reach 2150 in tactics, and the training games in classical chess started today. I need measurable goals to determine whether I have managed to make real progress. If you have any ideas on how else to do that, please share your thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/X6SsX1YPA6I 3240 2019-08-27T13:48:38+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-mis-60-mejores-partidas-5-fischer-rossetto-1959/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/XrYeZlty4VE.jpg ¡BOBBY FISCHER!

It’s not as good as the Exchange variation, both according to the engines and to theory. It allows black to have a simpler game in which he doesn’t have to prove compensation for white’s big center. It starts after the moves Nf3 and Bg5 for white. After Nf3 (...Bg7), white could still choose the Russian Variation, which is more principled, but if he continues with Bg5, getting the bishop to a very active square in black’s position, that is the Petrosian system https://www.youtube.com/embed/P9rlsTqReYI 1722 2019-08-26T11:59:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/grunfeld-tutorial-part-3-karjakin-vs-mvl-sinquefield-cup-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/UYY9I3YJJu0.jpg Grünfeld Tutorial – Part 3 || Karjakin vs MVL || Sinquefield Cup (2019) Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here Download agadmator chess clock for Android here Sergey Karjakin vs Maxime Vachier-Lagrave Sinquefield Cup (2019), St Louis, MO USA, rd 8, Aug-25 Gruenfeld Defense: Exchange.

And still, most players on low levels, who want to improve, don’t do that or don’t do that properly. Analyzing games allows you to correct your mistakes. Now, logically, if you don’t correct your mistakes, you are probably going to repeat them. Any if you repeat the same mistakes, you are not likely to improve or increase your ELO. That makes looking at your own games in great detail and with great scrutiny a must. It’s the absolutely most important training method there is. https://www.youtube.com/embed/a0uG25GLIgM 1762 2019-08-24T12:30:58+00:00 https://chessterra.com/an-outrageously-beautiful-finish-bobby-fischer-vs-lhamsuren-myagmarsuren-kings-indian-attack/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/MxAGSplfCao.jpg An outrageously beautiful finish! || Bobby Fischer vs Lhamsuren Myagmarsuren || Kings Indian Attack FIDE CM KIngscrusher goes over an amazing Bobby Fischer game which has an outrageously beautiful finish! || Bobby Fischer vs Lhamsuren Myagmarsuren ... https://www.youtube.com/embed/MxAGSplfCao 1133 2019-08-25T08:48:44+00:00 https://chessterra.com/ben-finegold-analyzes-bobby-fischers-great-attacking-games/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/6uqvesbi0SM.jpg Ben Finegold analyzes Bobby Fischer's great attacking games!

From the opening, London System, Carlsen gets a preferable, active position with nice chances of converting it into an advantage! But soon Carlsen erroneously chooses a line, which though from afar looks like an easy win, but detailed analysis shows that the line is losing for White! Aronian who had calculated one move ahead confidently gains advantage! Carlsen wins opponent's queen but Aronian who answers opponent's check with a check gets a huge advantage! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/vI1SX22PG0o 434 2019-08-22T03:30:06+00:00 https://chessterra.com/journey-to-ararat-with-my-chess-set-part-i/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/G0ocYvd5z58.jpg Journey To Ararat With My Chess Set: Part I In 1829 German naturalist Friedrich Parrot together with prominent Armenian writer Khachatur Abovian, two Russian soldiers and two Armenian villagers made the first recorded ascent of biblical mount Ararat!

It is no surprise that we are advised to castle and make our king safe in the opening stage of the chess game, because ultimately the goal of the game is to checkmate your opponent’s king. But what if you could break the castle of a king? What if you could drag the king into the center or a corner of the chessboard, crush the king by delivering a beautiful checkmate? That’s what king hunts are for! King hunt is the act of chasing the enemy king, which usually starts with the sacrifice of our piece(s), and finally delivering a checkmate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zzBmVTj2dQA 827 2019-08-23T17:17:52+00:00 https://chessterra.com/introduction-to-the-grunfeld-defense-2/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/NnkMyb1ThXc.jpg Introduction to the Grünfeld Defense The Grünfeld is a very aggressive hypermodern defense, and it leads to extremely sharp and interesting games. The Grünfeld Defense is a hypermodern opening. It does not challenge center in a “classical” manner. The idea is to allow white to develop classically, only to disrupt his central control with the pieces later on. It’s a very aggressive defense in many respects, and it leads to extremely sharp and interesting games. That is mainly due to the imbalances which almost inevitably occur in the center and on the queenside. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NnkMyb1ThXc 892 2019-08-21T10:40:33+00:00 https://chessterra.com/exchange-variation-of-the-grunfeld-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/C1EbPsdB4FM.jpg Exchange Variation of the Grünfeld Defense The Exchange Variation is the most challenging and aggressive way for white to fight the hypermodern Grünfeld. It is the most common move and could be considered the main line. It’s also the most thematic in that it features all of the main themes of the defense. Those are: White’s broad center: white has a c3, d4, e4 center which helps control five key squares on the board. Black trying to destroy the center – black is going to employ all of his forces to put pressure on d4 and to try and break open white’s center. https://www.youtube.com/embed/C1EbPsdB4FM 1736 2019-08-22T10:53:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/brinckmann-attack-grunfeld-defense-opening-theory/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/42dvuYG4AvE.jpg Brinckmann Attack | Grünfeld Defense Opening Theory The Brinckmann Attack is a sideline white could choose if he wishes to play a game outside of the main Grünfeld theory. The move Bf4 goes against white’s common plans against the Grünfeld Defense. Instead of going for a broad center with e4, this move prepares the less ambitious e3, closing the position down and solidifying his d4 square with e3, and his c4 pawn with the f1 bishop. Hence the move Bf4. White makes sure to get his bishop outside of the pawn chain before playing e3. https://www.youtube.com/embed/42dvuYG4AvE 1416 2019-08-23T12:11:55+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-vs-sherwin-ataque-indio-de-rey/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Z2QnP3qVuNc.jpg "Bobby Fischer vs Sherwin ATAQUE INDIO DE REY" Amigos les subo el video de esta semana, espero les guste, suscribanse al canal y dejen sus comentarios. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z2QnP3qVuNc 772 2017-02-28T04:52:11+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-doc-on-hbo-reveals-tragic-flaws/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/sBrMH8337lM.jpg Bobby Fischer doc on HBO reveals tragic flaws Academy Award nominated director Liz Garbus speaks to CBSNews.com's Rick Borutta about "Bobby Fischer Against the World," her HBO documentary about ... https://www.youtube.com/embed/sBrMH8337lM 618 2011-06-09T20:19:07+00:00 https://chessterra.com/partite-commentate-di-scacchi-60-fischer-vs-spassky-come-ti-cucino-il-russo-1972-d59-wcm-g6/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/uqgw8UVfFGg.jpg Partite Commentate di Scacchi 60 – Fischer vs Spassky – Come ti Cucino il Russo – 1972 [D59] WCM-G6 Playlist Partite Commentate: La Partita più Memorabile della sfida per il titolo mondiale dal 1972. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uqgw8UVfFGg 1913 2013-10-30T18:03:06+00:00 https://chessterra.com/how-to-trick-a-stream-sniper/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/goIBdzLB1Zk.jpg How to trick a stream sniper Featured is a chess game I played against a viewer during a stream. At a point I suspected my opponent may have been listening to my commentary while we played. There was almost a tricky tactic for my opponent in the opening phase if not for a zwischenzug (in-between move). What followed was a sneaky "stream tactic". I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Here is the link to the game; Here is Oisin’s profile on Lichess: This was our first training game. We are going to play one each month, and, hopefully, Oisin is going to benefit from our analysis and our games. Oisin and I had a lesson a few weeks ago in which we were working on his repertoire. One of his biggest weaknesses was playing against the Closed Sicilian (Nc3). During the lesson, we concluded that 2...a6 was the trickiest move for white to face and that Oisin should be looking into that and prepare it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D0WsIqQzIZs 1473 2019-08-20T10:19:19+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-vs-mikhail-tal-eu-sou-o-tal-01/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IBMDe8aqMD4.jpg Bobby Fischer vs Mikhail Tal :: Eu Sou o Tal #01 As melhores partidas de xadrez Especial Eu Sou o Tal - por Renan Araujo Sicilian Scheveningen/ Najdorf : Robert James Fischer vs Mikhail Tal [B86] ... https://www.youtube.com/embed/IBMDe8aqMD4 679 2015-12-03T00:29:57+00:00 https://chessterra.com/destroza-al-dragon-%f0%9f%91%b9%e2%9b%a9-la-trampa-de-bobby-fischer-%f0%9f%92%a3%e2%98%a0/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/B6gGvCZP5o.jpg ¡Destroza al Dragón! 👹⛩ La trampa de Bobby Fischer 💣☠ Si te gusta aprender de un Gran Maestro, sigue aquí el camino a los secretos que ningún Gran Maestro te ha confiado hasta hoy ▻ El ... https://www.youtube.com/embed/_B6gGvCZP5o 666 2018-05-31T17:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/partite-commentate-di-scacchi-373-spassky-vs-fischer-questione-di-un-pedone-1972-b04/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/N93AU0-7WMY.jpg Partite Commentate di Scacchi 373 – Spassky vs Fischer – Questione di un Pedone – 1972 [B04] Attingiamo ancora dal match del secolo di Reykjavik tra Boris Spassky e Bobby Fischer.

By going for Larsen's opening White puts his bishop on b2-square which later becomes White's tramp card in the game! Once White gets a chance, opens up the long diagonal by capturing Black pawn, and then by sacrificing his knight! In the end White forces a resignation with a brilliant rook sacrifice! This game is a brilliant example of how one can make use of the weakness of the long diagonal! https://www.youtube.com/embed/SVSeVDWbd1E 354 2019-08-17T03:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/ganguly-makes-a-mesmerizing-queen-sacrifice/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/LayYKdDv9bk.jpg Ganguly Makes A Mesmerizing Queen Sacrifice Here is a brilliant attacking game played by Indian GM Surya Ganguly vs Kazakhstani GM Anuar Ismagambetov! In Ruy Lopez Ganguly chooses an offbeat line, and soon when on move 9 Black makes an inaccuracy it becomes obvious that White's choice was fully justified! With two pawn sacrifices White gains a space advantage, active piece play and organizes a powerful attack! With exchange sacrifice Ganguly removes Black's dark squared bishop and starts to exploit the weaknesses of the dark squares! Finally on move 24 with a brilliant queen sacrifice Ganguly forces a resignation! https://www.youtube.com/embed/LayYKdDv9bk 355 2019-08-16T03:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-highly-creative-rook-move-that-will-shock-you/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/XRTn6x3XBgw.jpg A Highly Creative Rook Move That Will Shock You! Here is another video from "Chess in the Wilderness" series where I am analyzing a highly creative chess puzzle composed by Russian chess composer Vasily Platov in the crater of mount Aragats! With a brilliant rook and a knight cooperation White is managing to prevail over Black queen!

In Sicilian Najdorf Fischer makes an interesting move with his king which though on the surface looks strange, but a thorough analysis shows that it's a brilliant and highly precise move!

After a few opening moves, White gets a miserable position and soon Black crushes White with a brilliant queen sacrifice! The queen sacrifice allowed Black to get an unstoppable passed pawn and in view of an imminent checkmate White resigns!

In other words, strong chess players, titled players, and grandmasters follow the fundamentals of chess perfectly. They rarely make any mistakes/blunders (something that goes out of the basic chess principles), at least when compared to not-so strong chess players (club players or amateurs). https://www.youtube.com/embed/kIia6ACD5s8 122 2019-08-10T15:56:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/how-to-play-excellent-chess-with-the-french-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/aEZvsY_3r_w.jpg How to play excellent chess with the French Defense Do you want to have a reliable chess opening for Black against 1.e4?

In this 15 move chess miniature Koltanowski punishes his opponent for grabbing a pawn instead of thinking about the safety of his own king and development! With a brilliant queen sacrifice Koltanowski activates his bishop and the rook and announces an opera mate! The checkmate is named after its implementation by Paul Morphy in 1858 at a game at the Paris opera against Duke Karl of Brunswick and Count Isouard. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S2FKUuSGjKM 259 2019-08-09T03:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/getting-my-2800-blitz-back-while-hanging-pieces-gm-hansen/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/l6zkFSNtdbg.jpg Getting my 2800 blitz back while hanging pieces | GM Hansen ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/l6zkFSNtdbg 1017 2019-08-09T21:40:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/winawer-variation-french-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/93kY7pXf1k4.jpg Winawer Variation: French Defense The Winawer Variation begins with 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.

At first glance it seems like Black is winning because of his far advanced a-pawns. Closer examination though reveals that White’s Rook is able to control the pawn on a2, but still everything is not so clear! Especially if we have a look at the King and Knight placed on the h-file, a question arises whether they can somehow be useful or not! Luckly it turns out that soon they will also join the party thus allowing White to win the battle! With a rook sacrifice White is "imprisoning" Black king on a1-square and once White king comes near, White is announcing a checkmate with two knights! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/08Ei2wJLr1o 295 2019-08-07T14:00:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/gm-hansen-vs-gm-firouzja-175-game-match/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/4R7bt3tV1F4.jpg GM Hansen VS GM Firouzja 175 game MATCH ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/4R7bt3tV1F4 14005 2019-08-06T21:12:59+00:00 https://chessterra.com/as-melhores-partidas-de-bobby-fischer-fischer-x-james-t-sherwin-1957/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/VYDp6gk8AVo.jpg As melhores partidas de Bobby Fischer – Fischer x James T.

The reason is that an identical idea had been employed in the USSR a couple of weeks before the Hastings event, and Tal knew of that while Stean not. The whole line up to move 18 (of course including the exchange sacrifice) had been seen in a game played between Alvis Vitolinš and Yuri Anikaev and as Tal's sharp eye had spotted that game, played by his Latvian college, employed that secret weapon in this game and won without much efforts!

In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle, which is taken from a game played between Svetozar Gligoric and Vladimir Tukmakov, (Odessa, 1975). https://www.youtube.com/embed/lJe_wXtwr7s 288 2019-08-03T14:00:14+00:00 https://chessterra.com/one-of-the-best-queen-sacrifices-by-boris-spassky/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/W7Y8brkECxM.jpg One Of The Best Queen Sacrifices By Boris Spassky Here is a brilliant chess game played by 10th World Chess Champion Boris Spassky vs Serbian GM Dragoljub Ciric! By making use of opponent's inaccuracy Spassky goes for a pawn sacrifice which allows him to open up the position and create attacking chances! Soon his opponent makes more mistakes and Spassky punishes his opponent with a brilliant queen sacrifice! In the end he forces a resignation by removing the defender with an exchange sacrifice!

Against French Defense Tal chooses a very tricky Milner-Barry Gambit, sacrifices two pawns and launches a ferocious attack! Being unaware of the opening theory Iivo Nei starts making mistakes one after another, and soon gets a lost position! With a brilliant rook sacrifice Tal is destroying Black's protective shield and targets the king! Resignation follows quickly! https://www.youtube.com/embed/4V1Yr2rOGgA 432 2019-08-06T14:00:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/gm-eric-hansen-shows-his-endgame-technique-in-the-grunfeld/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/U52P37IMtwY.jpg GM Eric Hansen shows his endgame technique in the Grunfeld ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/U52P37IMtwY 1871 2019-08-02T13:34:57+00:00 https://chessterra.com/winning-with-the-english-opening-part-2-gm-aman-hambleton/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/o_IvtAXcLAw.jpg Winning with the English Opening Part 2 | GM Aman Hambleton ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_IvtAXcLAw 971 2019-08-04T10:32:04+00:00 https://chessterra.com/how-did-i-win-these-games-gm-hambleton-gets-lucky/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ssZ6oPYoSXc.jpg How did I win these games??

Many chess players do not really understand this important concept in chess. It is so important that a proper and a successful attack can decide the game. Many chess players, unaware of the attacking principles, start a premature attack (start an attack when they actually should not) and fail at it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qWmkABw680c 1203 2019-08-04T19:50:17+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-caro-kann-is-hard-to-beat-patron-training-game-analysis/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ND4VFJWfW3s.jpg The Caro-Kann is Hard to Beat | Patron Training Game Analysis Dual commentary between Valerio and I. We go over the training game in the Two Knights Caro-Kann we played yesterday. Here is the link to the game; Here is Valerios profile on Lichess: This was our first training game. We are going to play one each month, and, hopefully, Valerio is going to benefit from our analysis and our games. This was one was in the Caro-Kann (unsurprisingly since I was black), and he went for the Two Knights, a variation I have lost horribly in during Novi Sad, a tournament I played recently. He even played Qg3, although not in the same position as in my game, a move which I failed to react to properly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ND4VFJWfW3s 2370 2019-08-02T09:21:20+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-closed-sicilian-gone-wrong-patron-training-game-analysis/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2FJIE3-kD1A.jpg A Closed Sicilian Gone Wrong | Patron Training Game Analysis Dual commentary between Jon and I.

I faced a Dutch FM in the Prins Sicilian and made my position living hell because of a bad miscalculation I made in the opening. 2019 Split Open, Round 1, 08/04/2019, S. Tomic (1920) vs FM T. Dijkhuis (2395), Prins Sicilian First rounds of Swiss tournaments are tough. Always. I face 2300-2400 players with little to no prep and struggle to survive. This game was just like that. I played a young and very strong Fm in an opening I know, but I went for a variation I wasn’t sure about. I knew two other continuations, and to make matters worse, one of them I’d played a month ago! Still, I decided to complicate and go for a position I didn’t have on the board in my prep, but I thought was good for me. Needless to say it wasn’t. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3s94xwpfwMI 828 2019-08-04T08:23:48+00:00 https://chessterra.com/0-pieces-developed-is-bad-develop-road-to-gm-game-95/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/9QSitmmzmZw.jpg 0 Pieces Developed is Bad. Develop! | Road to GM, Game 95 The second round from the Split Open. I played a lower rated opponent in the Caro-Kann. He played the opening poorly and lagged in development which gave me a big advantage. 2019 Split Open, Round 2, 08/05/2019, T. Mindoljevic (1544) vs S. Tomic (1920), Caro-Kann The Swiss system is merciless. I played a 2400 in round 1 and a 1500 in round 2. So basically, you have to lose and then you have to win. The situation will normalize from now on hopefully. Today I’m playing a 2150, finally a normal game! https://www.youtube.com/embed/9QSitmmzmZw 1044 2019-08-05T09:34:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/chess-bobby-fischer-discusses-paul-morphy/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/woE4LnHcVYs.jpg (chess) BOBBY FISCHER discusses PAUL MORPHY (chess) Check out "The PASSION of TAL" at Check out my website at MaxwellChess.com. https://www.youtube.com/embed/woE4LnHcVYs 692 2013-01-10T01:14:32+00:00 https://chessterra.com/jugo-bobby-fischer-alguna-vez-ajedrez-contra-una-computadora/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/pYrbd1yZP3w.jpg ¿Jugó Bobby Fischer alguna vez Ajedrez contra una Computadora?

A sham sacrifice leads to a forced and immediate benefit for the sacrificer, usually in the form of a quick checkmate or the recouping of the sacrificed material after a forced line while real sacrifices, according to Spielmann, are those where the compensation is not immediate, but more positional in nature. In this video I am analyzing a game played by Spielmann where he goes for a real queen sacrifice in hyper-aggressive King's gambit! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/uyYTyy6U-Io 396 2019-08-01T14:00:08+00:00 https://chessterra.com/gm-eric-hansen-shows-the-power-of-two-bishops/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/MIqEJW-gqP4.jpg GM Eric Hansen shows the power of two bishops! ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/MIqEJW-gqP4 1796 2019-07-31T15:22:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/top-10-moments-july-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/1tgR-4oE218.jpg Top 10 Moments | July 2019 ▶ CHESS.COM for PLAYING CHESS ▶ HOUSE OF STAUNTON for CHESS GEAR ▶ Winning Chess Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/embed/1tgR-4oE218 404 2019-08-01T10:44:07+00:00 https://chessterra.com/5-best-chess-opening-traps-in-the-center-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nb3TdRJs00Q.jpg 5 Best Chess Opening Traps in the Center Game 🔔 Check out Igor Smirnov's Channel "KEY TO VICTORY" - ☀ KEY TO VICTORY | Website - ♕ Download the PGN of these 5 traps - ♕ Get the complete FREE course "7 Best Chess Opening Traps"; it contains 3 secret opening traps, and 10 of the most shocking opening losses by world champions (games commented) - In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will share with you the 5 best chess opening traps in the Center Game.

In the next round, though, I have faced an FM and got completely outplayed in the opening and in the middlegame. Didn’t make it to an endgame. 2019 Senta Open, Round 6, 07/22/2019, I.

In the end Korchnoi sacrifices his queen, which was overlooked by his opponent, and forces him to resign in view of an imminent fork! The upcoming fork for the royal family gives White an extra piece!

At 1971 USSR Championship Leonid Shamkovich inflicted on the tournament leader Mikhail Tal his first defeat in the eighth round, which now a year later served as an inspiring stimuli for the former world chess champion before the start of the game given below! By surprising his opponent in Caro-Kann defense and making a rare move Tal then castles queen-side in hope of organizing a quick attack! Soon Shamkovich makes a mistake, allows White to double up his pawns on the f-file and damage his king-side! Once Black's king-side becomes vulnerable Tal launches an attack, by first sacrificing his bishop and then going for an exchange sacrifice! In view of an imminent mate Black resigns, without managing to show an adequate resistance in this game!

In Steinitz variation of Petrov's Defense Black demonstrates poor chess kills, soon gets behind in development, loses a pawn and tries to organize a hasty attack on the queen-side but with his king stuck in the center of the board falls victim to a brilliant combination! With a queen sacrifice Bonch-Osmolovsky activates all his 4 remaining pieces after which checkmate becomes a matter of moves! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/c_2w_Tz3PBQ 315 2019-07-27T14:15:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-line-in-this-game-would-later-inspire-mikhail-tal/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/rpB7f3WwkYU.jpg The Line In This Game Would Later Inspire Mikhail Tal Here is a famous chess miniature played by Soviet GM David Bronstein vs Soviet GM Alexander Kotov where Bronsein surprises his opponent by sacrificing his queen on move 21 thus forcing him to resign! It all started from an offbeat line in Caro-Kann defense, where Bronstein gets a space advantage and attacking position! In a critical moment Kotov fails to spot White's winning resource and once he steps into the combination, resigns! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle! https://www.youtube.com/embed/rpB7f3WwkYU 327 2019-07-28T03:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/absolute-craziness-duda-sacrifices-his-queen/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/GmZHf78kLIc.jpg Absolute Craziness! Duda Sacrifices His Queen In this video I am covering a highly complex chess game played by Polish GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda vs Russian GM Alexander Grischuk.

In the extremely complex, Botvinnik Variaton of Semi-Slav Defense, Polugaevsky reveals his secret weapon which he had developed in 1977, 4 years prior to that game. The story goes back to 1977 when Polugaevsky was preparing with his trainer Vladimir Bagirov for his Candidates match with Brazilian GM Henrique Mecking. Polugaevsky had a difficult problem to solve, he didn't know what to play for White against the Meran defense. Bagirov was trying to dissuade him telling that Black's position looks solid, but Polugaevsky's sixth sense was telling him that there should be a win! After nearly 2 weeks of analysis finally Polugaevsky finds the brilliant continuation which allows him to implement two important strategies with one move: strengthen and advance his king-side pawns and at the same time imprison Torre's rook. Despite that fact that in the upcoming match Mecking chooses a different line (Moscow variation) but 4 years later as soon as the opportunity strikes, Polugaevsky surprises his opponent by introducing his novelty! https://www.youtube.com/embed/hzDuMX7Palg 638 2019-07-24T15:00:08+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-se-rie-en-la-cara-de-la-primera-jugada-del-negro/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/qNT3BtqQf7c.jpg Bobby Fischer se rie en la Cara de la primera jugada del negro!

I Was Speechless When I Saw This Game! In this video I am analyzing a brilliant attacking game played by Denish IM Kassa Korley vs Ukranian GM Alexander Moiseenko! In the Exchange Variation of Queen's Gambit Declined Kassa Korley starts an interesting knight manoeuvre and once White makes a seemingly standard move common in that variation (which is actually a mistake) Black starts a cascade of sacrifices the pinnacle of which becomes the Rook sacrifice on e5-square! The exposed White king very quickly fells victim to Black's aggression!

Grischuk Uses Alekhine’s Block To Beat Vitiugov In this video I am analyzing a brilliant attacking game played by Russian GM Alexander Grischuk vs his compatriot GM Nikita Vitiugov. In Queen's gambit declined, Grischuk chooses a sharp line and sacrifices a pawn, which allows him to take a lead in development! The line turns out the be very tricky, requiring a precise play by Black! Soon Vitiugov fails to play accurately, chooses a very natural move (castling king-side) but that turns out to be a fatal mistake! By using "Alekhine's Block" tactic, Grischuk sacrifices his bishop, demoralizes Black's king-side and his attack turns out to be irresistible!

In those times, particularly in 1992 when this game was played chess computers were still weak and humans were enjoying their dominance by beating them.

In English opening on move 12 Wesley So goes for a very bold queen sacrifice thus as a compensation getting only 2 bishops and 2 pawns! In a time pressure playing that position turns out to be easier for White and Karjakin starts burning time. Finally when less than 10 seconds remained on Karjakin's clock he makes a blunder and quickly loses! Another brilliant example how two minor pieces can prevail over the queen!

Happy International Chess Day Happy International Chess Day The International Chess Day is celebrated annually on July 20, the day the International Chess Federation (FIDE) was founded, in 1924. The idea to celebrate this day as the international chess day was proposed by UNESCO, and it has been celebrated as such since 1966, after it was established by FIDE.

As one of ten simultaneous clock games played on tour, at David College, this is a perfect example of an attack which relies on the fact that your opponent's king is stuck in the center of the board! In the game Fischer throws everything at Black's king, including the proverbial kitchen sink. 2 minor piece sacrifices followed by an exchange sacrifice leaves Black defenseless and resignation follows immediately.

All I can say is that I have a lot of work to do. I am unhappy with how I play and with the results I got. After 9 rounds I have a plus rating score, which is good, but arguably undeserved. I played 8 bad games and only one good game. Only one game I can be satisfied with. The rest were either lost in the opening or by blundering tactically. That leaves me with a clear work plan for the months ahead. I will be playing far less tournaments that I had planned. I am simply not ready to jump to 2000 elo yet. Not yet. I have to strengthen my repertoire and improve my tactical play first. There is no doubt about that. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZmXtUVOgbqE 2628 2019-07-18T18:29:55+00:00 https://chessterra.com/hard-core-calculation-road-to-gm-game-85/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/MkUpHVgDHM4.jpg Hard Core Calculation | Road to GM, Game 85 My round 1 game from Senta Open in which I played an IM in the Panov Caro-Kann. 2019 Senta Open, Round 1, 07/19/2019, IM M. Andrijevic (2238) vs S. Tomic (1910), Caro-Kann, Panov Botvinnik Attack Senta open started badly. But I have to say that I am satisfied with how I played up to a point. The opening went well (for a change) and I managed to equalize almost. I got a complicated position and spent loads of time, though, but ended up calculating everything correctly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MkUpHVgDHM4 1688 2019-07-19T21:40:16+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-immortal-chess-variant-the-game-that-impressed-bobby-fischer-smashing-the-rock-with-one-hand/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ctVSZ_gx_34.jpg The immortal chess variant | The game that impressed Bobby Fischer | Smashing the rock with one hand Warning: You have stumbled upon the greatest collection of free chess videos The game description Wilhelm ... https://www.youtube.com/embed/ctVSZ_gx_34 269 2019-07-18T13:24:25+00:00 https://chessterra.com/trappole-in-apertura-14-scacchi-trappola-bobby-fischer-difesa-siciliana-dragone-accelerato/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/jcdZXuCIm7c.jpg Trappole in Apertura 14 – Scacchi – Trappola Bobby Fischer – Difesa Siciliana: Dragone Accelerato Diffidate di regali che l'avversario vi può inaspettatamente fare, spesso nascondono un'amara conseguenza ovvero una trappola.

Fischer repels the attack pretty easily and left with a piece down White resigns seeing that there is nothing else he can do!

In Ruy Lopez White sacrifices a piece in hope of luring away Black queen and make use of the pin but Alekhine delivers a surprise and sacrifices his queen which allows him to exploit the weakness of the first rank by promoting his c-pawn! A brilliant game full of sharp tactical ideas!

Soon a double edge position arises where Carlsen's king reaches the e4-square! In a complex position Black misses a simple tactic after which Carlsen wins the game easily!

In the middlegame GM Alexander Fier sacrifices a piece in order to make his pawns mobile! Soon he also sacrifices his rook and with his rook and mighty passed pawns forces his opponent to resign!

Marshall who was U.S. Chess Champion from 1909 to 1936, and one of the world's strongest chess players in the early part of the 20th century plays this game in a very disorganized way and loses quickly once he faces White's ferocious attack! White concludes his attack with a brilliant queen sacrifice, which allows him to push forward his pawn, then promotes it to a knight and checkmates with a rook!

The puzzle is nearly impossible to solve with chess engines and all you need is your brain! This time I am testing Stockfish 10 with a brilliant chess puzzle composed by Soviet chess composer From Simkhovich. In the video you can see that this time I also left Stockfish 10 to run, but as the engine is unable to understand chess fortresses that fact deviates the monster from the right path and the whole evaluation goes wrong! The critical moment is when the engine fails to find the winning 2.Nd6+!

In the middle-game Black makes a mistake, is not taking under control the b5 square which allows White to exploit the weaknesses in Black's camp! White unleashes a brilliant combination, the pinnacle of which becomes an epic queen jump on d6-square!
