STOP Defending Poisoned Pawns And Start Attacking | Do Not Fear Of Dropping a2/b2 Pawns EVER AGAIN

Hello Students,

In this video I will explain why you shouldn't be afraid of sacrificing b2/a2(a7/b7 for black) pawns when they are attacked in a typical way by the opponent's queen and how to develop the initiative instead. Stop defending poisoned pawns and attack instead. Enjoy!

Nice one Kes! Some Great examples of attacking counter play from seemingly risky positions. I love this style of Chess

Thanks for sharing these great examples.

Thanks for sharing - I found it very useful 

Thanks! And I concur, in almost all cases. It's hard to spot though when a queenside attack can come through when assisted by her pieces. But I agree that a lone queen should be allowed to rampage our territories for a bit while we develop and reconfigure our pieces.

Looked through a few older videos and found them nice and instructive, better than some bigger channels. Subscribed

@Bot_Boy Thank you Dave. I hope you can implement this in your games.

@anjum_samuel @gary_sorkin @NoobNewbChess Thank you!

@zone_chess Chess is a game of exceptions and I am sure there are times when we have to defend those pawns. The key is to develop the habit of looking for counter-attacks first and recognising when those pawns are poisoned for opponents to take.

@ninjawat I am very pleased to hear this. Honestly, I have to say that in my opinion my videos in the last year have much, much higher quality than say videos from 2-3 years ago or so. I am learning and I want to believe that every new video is better than the previous one. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate that.
