Good ole fashion fun...you crack me up- you make the membership worth it! Another great vid. Hey, if you were raised by Russians why do you speak with an American accent? Just wonderin you don't even have to responde sure your probably busy winning chess matches-take care.
For the tactic that starts at 6:03 (bishop interposing Q&R) does Ra3 save white? If BxR, white retakes with pawn and the material is even (am I underestimating the power of black's passed pawn?). If BxQ, RxQ and white has a better pawn structure than the BxR variation
@-ACE Okay,thanks for the clearification. Thought it was some fianchetto-like, over-my-head, chess termanology. Gotcha. Great video. Thanks.
@-DARKKNIGHT- and mastershredder -- "Exclamaviatch" (which is how it would be spelled in my mind , and remember I invented it ) is something I started saying in lectures a very long time ago... It was a fun way to grab someone's attention, and add "extra emphasis" the move that was great. Like a double exclam!!
People have confused it for a slang for of "biatch" -- BUT that was never my intention. And if you listen, that is not what I say. I say "exclamaviatch"... I was "taught and raised-in-chess" by Russians -- and so I learned early on that all Russian men have their middle name as their father's with the surname "avitch" (maybe spelled differently, but pronounced that way) as a way to add respect and "honor thy father". For example, my coach for a long time (the late GM Igor Ivanov) had a middle name "Vassilyavitch" (again, maybe spelled differently, but the "avitch" is added to his father's name "Vassily").
So, consider "exclamaviatch" my way of adding extra respect to the word exclam ... Like the Russian surnames!
Did anything I just say make any sense ? Maybe not, but the bottom line is I don't want people thinking the term is a derogatory or offensive word of any kind... that was never my intention.
Thanks everyone!

(Hahahah)
Hes saying american slang. "Exclam Biatch!" A gangster alternative form of that word by adding the letter a. . The small tweak in pronunciation gives the word emphasis or an air of humor depending on situation. In this situations actually softens the word into a friendly variation of...."Gotcha!"
However "Viatch" can be used if your from the slavic regions. Just dont rap SnoopDog songs with that "v".....
Exclamation mark !!
what's the terminology he is using @9:58? the bishop moves, "exlaimaviache"? or something. Can anyone clearify? Thanks in advance.
good one
Danny you broke my pause button again. Bless this man!!
Fab! I'm learning more every day. The deflection move is a true winner eh! I've have one going on at the moment. jp
Wow. I thought I had left a response to this video. Maybe I'm getting them mixed up.
In any case, thank you for your work. I took lessons from NM Russell Potter years back and though he had an extensive "system", he never addressed tactics and I was the worse for it. I appreciate your method and manner.
I also enjoy your Live Sessions and hearing your stream of consciousness talk. It simply reinforces the importance of what you are doing here.

In the second half of the Beyond the Basics installment, International Master Daniel Rensch takes you, well, beyond the basics! Part two is kicked off with the "deflection" pattern, and this fast paced video never looks back! Remember to pause your video every time a new position occurs on the chess board, giving yourself an opportunity to try and solve it before Danny gives you the answer.
