Okay, guys. We’re going to talk about attack and defense, but in the most
rudimentary way possible because this is really what chess is all about.
Volumes have been written about attack and defense. But, we’re going to
deal with this in the most straight forward way.
Let’s say white does E4, maybe the most common opening in chess. Black
goes E5. Now, the most logical and probably the most expected continuation
is knight to F3. Why? Because, we need to develop our pieces, our bishops
and our knights immediately. So why not develop the knight that attacks
black’s central pawn.
Now, this could be defended in a few ways. We could go, for example,
bishop D6, but that not something you are likely to see a strong player do
because you’re blocking your queen’s pawn and, therefore, your queen’s
bishop. And, it’s just creating space problems for no reason.
You could go D6. Although, you’re falling behind in development. There’s
plenty of opening systems where D6 is acceptable, but be careful not to
fall too far behind in development.
We could go queen to E7, but that’s not really logical because you’re
blocking your king’s bishop which needs to be developed.
So, the most common way to defend this E5 pawn and not fall behind in
development would be knight to C6, keeping up with white in development and
simply defending your E pawn. Now of course, if white were to make the
absurd move of knight takes pawn, black would go knight takes knight and
would be winning the game, immediately. But, white’s not going to make
that terrible mistake. They’ll probably develop the bishop to C4 for the
Italian game or B5 for the Spanish game, or maybe knight to C3 for the
Scotch game. But, that’s an example of how to defend a pawn and how to use
some basic principals in choosing how to do so.
Another quick example would be if I start with E4 and let’s say black goes
D6, which would be the beginning of the Pirc Defense or perhaps any number
of other defenses, if I go bishop B5 check, a check I don’t personally
recommend, it could be blocked in any number of ways. We could block with
the queen. That would be a terrible move, losing the queen for absolutely
no reason, and subsequently losing the game.
We could block with the bishop, which is pretty good because then if I go
bishop takes bishop, I’m giving black the opportunity to develop their
knight. Or, I could just go C6 and deflect the bishop, which is now
retreating and maybe is going to get hit again with B5 and will have to
retreat to B3 and so on.
But the point is, this initial check, bishop to B5 can be blocked in any
number of different ways. It can be blocked with the pawn, the bishop, the
queen, which would be awful. Oh, and the knight, which I didn’t mention
before. Knight to C6. Knight to D7. So, there’s any number of ways to
defend this position.
And, a big part of being a chess player is deciding which is the best way
to defend. So, I would just recommend C6; make white retreat his bishop.
Those are the most basic of the basics when it comes to attacking and
defending.
This guy just gave useful tips that really helped me.
Everyone: His voice is so amazing!
Thank you sir
Uhm I use e4 as an opening ._.
Nice teaching
Good offence is the best defence or is it the other way around
Really like your articulation… returning to chess after nearly 25 years and your explanations are so clear! And your voice soothing
Oh my god , you got such an amazing voice. I loved it. Made me to listen to the game.

So basic you didn't even have to make this video.
He looks like the LAST person who would play chess
Anyone from 2020?
Iโm here after watching The Queenโs Gambit ๐.
Remembering all these moves is hard ought. Remembering the names of these moves is a whole other thing!
Who else came here from the queens gambit?
I think this is CORPSE
I Love This.. Now Why Can't All CHESS Tutorials Have These Same Camera Angles, and Be This Brief Yet Well Explained??!!!
youtube wants more people to play chess now i guess
Dude teaching chess while dressing like a cook who just came out of some food truck.
I donโt understand how the truly great player lose to one another, Iโm thinking every game would come down to a draw. Iโm strictly talking about the players at the highest level of the game.
I want to know how or what the "Indian" game looks like..
Damn chess is so boring and repetitive lol
Italian game, Spanish game, Scottish game… While Chess is actually an Indian game.. I wonder!!!!
Please don't change the full view of the video because that make it hard to focus and thank you
I want him to talk me to sleep
What nonsense
Awww man…. his voice….his voice…. I'm in relax state
Smooth
great lesson
0:48 you could protect the pawn with f6 but that falls into a trap because the knight can take the pawn and if black recaptures he could lose the game
you might quit chess and become a dubbing artist, trust me you will have great career there too…
This gentleman has the best voice! Not only very instrutive yet sound waves are pleasing. I would be mate'd in 4 if I play'd him. ;`-)

2022 here
01:33 Yeah, sure enough. But what bothers me is: why do we call Nf3 yet an attack, since actually it's just a threat , or an attempt to take (attack) the pawn on e5. Is this a misunderstanding no one has ever talked about? And: if a piece is well defended, it is probably a failed attack . cheers
Paying attention and choosing the move.
