♕ FULL VIDEO: onlinechesslessons.net ♕ ARTICLE ►: www.onlinechesslessons.net ♕ facebook.com ♕ twitter.com In the above excerpt from the 1995 Intel Grand Prix in London, Michael Adams faced an extremely aggressive attack all over the board by a determined Jeroen Piket. The promotional video excerpt began around move 3 as Adams played very provocatively in the center. Kasparov Crushes Arbakov in Crazy King’s Indian Defense GM King begins his analysis in the above video excerpt at move 15. a4, as white tries to initiate counterplay on the queenside to distract Kasparov from his attack on the kingside. With 22. …c4! Kasparov sacrifices a pawn to slow down white’s queenside pressure, granting black just enough time to build up immense pressure on the kingside. This game exemplifies Kasparov’s genuine attacking style, as the former World Chess Champion simply refuses to back down – instead preferring to mount more and more pressure in the position until the opponent collapses and gets mated. Aggressive Anand Builds Attack, Destroys All The above video excerpt begins on move 38, in the middle of a very complicated struggle. Anand had just achieved a beneficial exchange of minor pieces to highlight the weakness of black’s king, however Dreev was stubbornly defending via his energetic counterplay on the queenside. Anand’s subtly brilliant play in this game is exactly what made him a 5+ time World Chess Champion.

White can’t win this ‘cause (as the video explains) he can’t remove the black King from the corner square -to revive the Queen and win- due to opposite color bishop (light square bishop – dark square corner) if the King was alone -without the 2 black pawns- white would check mate him easily but now he will just not move at all. On the other side black can’t revive his Queen and win ‘cause these 2 black pawns will easily be blocked by the white bishop as asforaminutethere23 explained already.
Commentators must see faster than the players! Real-time analytical commentary on blitz is rarely useful. When it is, it is only when the players are much weaker than the announcers. Even ‘slow chess’ commentators have trouble with real-time analysis; just visit a world championship match and you’ll see strong GMs making mistakes in analysis virtually every move! That is how it should be. GM Carlsen is concentrating and GM Ashley is going to see everything and talk at the same time!?!?!
White could play Bc6, then black plays b4. Then white plays Bd5 and then the black pawns are stuck. They have nowhere to go. There are other moves, but basically the bishop can stop/blockade the pawns.
interesting
No wonder the research of the data issued he mentions were structured for panoramic happening.
why it’s a draw? if there is 2 black pawns straight ahead to revive the queen? PLEASE ANSWER
The golden era of chess before computers ruined everything.
I’d never be able to keep up if the TV didn’t let me pause their video stream… Then again, I guess they could get instant replays just like the other sports do too…
i do not understand why it is drawn… can’t white king go and eat the black pawns while the bishop protects the white pawn? then black has to move anyway right?
Out of white and black white wins every time. O ur talking about chess
Lfmao, says who?
lol retard
Not sure you have the intelligence to understand what I actually said.
so black has too much of an advantage in general? Not sure you’ve thought that through
I was speaking in general terms, Einstein.
black doesn’t have any advantage at all, white can’t force black’s king out of the corrner and promote his pawn. That’s why the match was drawn
Why exactly?
that’s completely wrong
Unfortunately, after the cold war ended, also chess lost much of its importance, as before the Question had always been who’s the worlds best chess Player, a Russain or an American :X i love the commentators, and i also wish they played it on TV :(((
Black has too much of an advantage if he only needs to draw. I despise this kind of “tie break”.
this is literally the only video of Maurice Ashley doing live commentary on Youtube….are there any others?
It’s just really hard for non chess players (meaning producers) to get over the fact that well.. it’s chess. So it’s not often we get to see it on tv.
hell yeah.. lol @ golf..
I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. -Isaiah 42:8
GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST NOW
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the abominable, as for murderers,
fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in
the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death
Revelation 21:8
Turn to me and be saved,all you to the ends of the earth;for i am God,and there is no other
–Isaiah 45:22
I think King and Ashley are the perfect commentary pair. Both understand chess AND good showmanship.
This is a truly fascinating question. Perhaps -you- decide? 🙂 It appears that I determine based on where my interest is leading me. But this is influenced (I imagine) a lot by suggestions from others, recent events in my chess life, what I ate for breakfast, and what Obama had for lunch 😉
who decides what you are going to put up???
The future is a mystery (to me) … ! Nevertheless, a video may be coming soon 😉
When are you going to upload a new video?
Thank you for the suggestion!
Taimanov sicilian please, Its giving me a major headache whenever I see it.
Really glad you’re enjoying the videos! No midgame videos at this time 🙂
Fantatsic Dereque, I just love your way of explanation of any position. I have seen most of your opening videos, All are good, so do u have any videos on middle game? If yes then where can I look for those? Please let me know, I will be grateful, thanks again and God bless u Tc
Thank you for the suggestions and kind words
Nice channel. I’d like to see some videos for the Reti and Bird openings.
That’s correct Sir! QGD Tarrasch defense. I do believe it is possible for the Catalan to transpose into QGD Tarrasch defense if black can play C5 early and challenge white for Center Control.
You mean Queen’s Gambit Declined Tarrasch I’m assuming? Very interesting opening indeed. I actually have big plans for this one!
Thanks Dereque! Appreciate the feedback! May I request a video for Tarrasch Defense if possible. From a beginners perspective, I really like it as I can universally play it against almost all of whites openings except E4.
Glad you enjoyed the video! There is nothing special for the bishop to do right away even if it is temporarily unhindered. In the Catalan, White can usually use either move order (Bg2 or Nf3 first) but it usually always leads to the same positions since both moves are always played together.
Awesome video! Excellent explanation of the move options and the ideas behind them. For beginners like me it is extremely important to understand the concepts, ideas and motifs and you did a great job in a short time. I wonder though how things would turn out to be if white played Bg2 before Nf3.
Lol! Thank you 🙂
If MIT supported Chess, you would be the proper teacher,Dereque =)
Wonderful! Thank you
You bet! Thank you 🙂
Thanks for all the great vids, this one in particular at the moment. I am about to start a Catalan themed tourney in the 1600-1800 grouping and this is an opening that I’m not that familiar with. I just needed to get those points drilled into my mind and the problems for which to watch and avoid. Thanks again!
great video… i some how i am in a catalan opening an needed some advise… here i found some…. thanks!
Thank you!
Cool vids.. Totally gonna subscribe to your channel :thumbup:
The Catalan is definitely a good alternative (if White wants one) to the Nimzo-Indian, I agree!
Ah, this could be. The Catalan is loaded with subtleties!
