Your comment is ambiguous. In a more operational sense, if you want to kill a foot soldier with your sword on horseback, you probably want to ride a half-volte to the right around him so you can strike him with your right hand. So flanking is right, but not in an army vs army setting but a knight against a foot soldier one on one.

I have a theory as to why chess players point with their middle fingers: When moving pieces, it's only natural that they grab them with their thumb and index finger, so they point with their middle finger in case they need the other two fingers for holding a piece while pointing.

Chess amateur here who has dabbled in tough classical and blitz tournaments: We use the middle finger unconsciously because it's the longest one, so when pointing at a piece we don't accidentally make other pieces fall with our hand. Though sometimes you do make it consciously when you hate your opponent's guts lol

Same. I figured that the thumb and index finger pick up the piece by the head, while the middle finger points outward, indicating which direction that picked up piece will be moved before it is set back down on the board.

If you look at the knight move like an "L" it is strange. If you view it more like it can move in each file/rank direction then has each diagonal square option, the moves it makes is more like a "super" pawn. It doesn't 'jump' over pieces it moves between them.
@jensrenders4994 Рік тому
The way I think of it: The closest you can be to a queen without being attacked is a knights move away. The knights move is complementary to that of the queen (and thus rook and bishop).
@toastique Рік тому
Every time a knight will move, it's next square will always be the opposite color of what it's currently on. It's also very capable of attacking a piece without that piece attacking it as well.

What about the thematic analogy to warfare where in a large chunk of that history (not all of course, and probably not the earliest either) cavalry used their mobility to skirt the edge of a battlefield and attack the flanks of the enemy? Kind of like an ell shape. Probably also the types of warriors who owned and rode horses into battle tended to have names and titles and lands and were able to make the rather convenient choice of *not* going straight into the central meat grinder.

It's based on simply a much deeper look at the game of chess. It's basically saying that the bishop is more useful in ~5% more cases than the knight. Fischer on the other hand thought it more useful in ~8% more cases. Keep in mind this was before effective computer analysis of games. Kasparov says that looking at the analysis of strong chess programs it looks as though Fischer's value was closer to the truth than his. It's not a very hard concept.

In response to the middle finger thing, it is probably a defence against accidentally touching a piece you dont intend to play. You do something tens of thousands of times and it will become muscle memory. For example, moving a piece with your thumb and index finger. I think that in some chess matches, if you touch a piece you must move it or something. So to break the muscle memory and not accidentally touch the piece they point with another finger than the index.

The current champion doesn't even need to be at his peak (though he should be near it). It's useless to speculate, like with the exact same question as in football, tennis or basketball. You also have to account for differences in style and strengths. One could argue that they're all about the same, because they were each the champion, before somebody else beat them (except for Carlsen, but we'll see) and being the champion is the only way we can rank them.

The answer to the first question is the natural hand formation when going to move a piece sees the middle finger pointed towards the board, the thumb facing outward, and the pointer pointing forward. They point to squares using this same hand formation as they're often moving pieces in tandem with pointing at squares simulating hypothetical situations. Middle finger is just naturally in the best position.

Pieces have different names in different places. There are super GM's who have to remember they are being interviewed in English and translate the names in their head to English before saying it out loud. Garry himself knows an opening as Volga and has to add that its known as Benko internationally. I don't think it crossed his mind that the person was a newb; just someone who hasn't had a lot of international exposure.
