I love your lectures, good analysis on the game between two strong players as it was played and even though some people show different variations by computer engines, I do appreicate you keeping the analysis between two human players as it show more than just technical moves, it shows the human thought process behind it.

Great Viedo!

if the queen took the pawn like shown at 27 mins could you play rook h3 trapping the queen immediately

Great video...you lecture very well...even though some of the moves are surprising to a novice like myself I can see why they are made as you explain things clearly...thanks again 

cool

Thank You...My second time and still amazed at your ability to present, first the problem, then solution in simple terms for beginners like myself to follow. Well Done! Thanks Again.

Hey all!

I know it’s been months, but I got around to watching this vid again, as I enjoyed the series so much, and after the move ...Qh4 really thought about the position...

And not so much as to “refute” the ensuing lecture, or it’s intent, as to simply state what “perfect play” would dictate, I ran Houdini after thinking about White’s response to Black’s ...Qh4 at about 14:22, with Qb4, both attacking b7, d6, and defending e4, with Black’s “threat” of ...a5 simply being met with the move Qxb7, then Ne7+ and being protected by his Queen, and in fact it turns out that after...

Over 12 min., 170 million+ var, that Qb4 AND g3, in fact, give BOTH moves absolutely DEAD EVEN EQUALITY for Black, with potential draws.

Please note the following lines....

IF g3...it ends even quicker...

In the end, IMO anyway, I believe it means that even though a powerful chess engine can, and will always find the very best technical play, as human beings, positional play, theory, tactics, and human psychology; along with vid series like THESE.....

STILL RULE!!!---REGARDLESS!!!  

(...I thought this an interesting excercise of chess psychology, and just "What is really winning?", more than anything else...)

THANKS TO ELLIOTT FOR THIS AMAZING SERIES!!!!!

Peace!
