I love watching Naka play bullet.
He is the best in the world.
This is a cool, short video imo, what do you guys think?
It's pretty badass isn't it?
Pretty cool, but irrelavant to chess. :P
Well, I wanted to create a somewhat appealing introduction video.
If you haven't subscribed and you come acoss the channel, this is the video that shows up on the channel page.
Mainline, ill tell you in a message
Varesle, when the sphere/ball starts rolling initially, it goes over the words InfiniteFlash chess channel.
I probably should have switched the texts around.
I am still partially sick! Still though, this position is an old favorite of mine. Just a great example of how opposite colored bishops positions can be won.
There are plenty of small ideas here you can have in mind.

Ah yes it does.
Missed that first time.
Last vidoe was nice.
Couple questions. After Pd6 Bf8 could white simply play Qxb7? Planning to push his a-pawn?
Also, in your final position, after Kg6, you were looking for a way trade queens. Does Qg8 do that?

Well, 4.d6 Bf8 5.Qxb7 is a potentially serious mistake as now black plays Qxd6 and white struggles to avoid harrasment on the dark squares.
I dunno what white does, maybe 5.Qxb7 Qxd6 6.Qf7 (to keep contact on g6) Qa6 or Qf6 ideas come to mind (Atm, I don't see the way to push the a-pawn through without black infiltrating into your kings position)
If there is a win (and there may be), it might be SUPER long and deep ....this kind of line is not consistent with the theme of the puzzle.
And yes...Qg8 does the job, LOL! Good find, smh @ myself
Good idea though, Varesle.
I can't mention enough how good Naka is. I was recently watching the recorded match vs penguingm though, and I must say that kid is incredible in his own right. His speed is actually on par with Naka's, but of course he generally blunders eventually or gets strategically outplayed. But imagine if he was 400-500 elo points stronger OTB than he is right now, how good he would be at bullet.
But yeah even when Naka plays penguin, at light speed basically, he just never ever blunders. Even when he loses it's because he allowed something way into the endgame. It's just so hard to comprehend how what they do is even remotely possible, to hell with patterns. Because it seems like half of their moves are premoves -- it's one thing to make many moves without blundering, then try making many premoves without blundering! And the moves all make perfect sense -- I bet I could get a ton of instructive value just by studying those games. I recommend people search for that match, the one where Naka thought Andrew Tang was Carlsen. I'll try to find a link.
Haha, at around the 3 minute mark Naka totally chased Nouki's king -- I don't think Nouki expected Naka to do it all with checks. I certainly didn't lol.
