I hope you're fine! Stay strong and healthy

I can feel your resilience and strength! Stay strong!

That’s awesome. I’m very near to you. I was actually over on the IOW 2 weeks ago for a meeting. I love it over there.

1) The problem is that overextension is a concern only if your opponent has the time and resources to make something out of it. Here, they do not. They are under serious attack, and thus they have no time. Their pieces are undeveloped and in suboptimal positions, thus they don't have the resources. And I'd like to add that part of the reason black's pieces aren't developed is exactly because of the pawns, and part of the reason black has no time is because their pieces aren't developed. All in all, everything bad in black's position was exactly because of the pawns in the center. When they are so well positioned like that, your opponent's pieces have nowhere to move, and if they can't move they also can't rescue the king easily. If they can't rescue the king easily, black will have to resort to the pawns, which is not ideal, compared to defending with a piece and developing it (that's where the waste of time comes from) and it creates weaknesses (like the book says). That's why attacks straight from the opening come often from strong centers, that's why gambits like the King's Gambit, the Evans Gambit or even the Danish Gambit can be so successful if not deal with properly. 2) Eagle eye on that tactic. However, here's the deal: you could play a3 now, or you could play it after Ng5. Think about it. Both moves are good. But if you play a3 now, they take the knight with the bishop, you take back and they play h6, stopping Ng5. You only got a3, out of the two good moves. If, instead, you played Ng5, then they can't play h6. Let's say they play g6 instead, inducing a weakness. Now, you can also play a3. In this case, you were able to play both Ng5 and a3, instead of just one of them. Ng5 is, for all intents and purposes, a free move. Anything you want to play, you can play Ng5 first, before playing the move you want to play. Ng5 is free. a3 isn't. I hope this comment isn't too long for your liking.

You guys are very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very serious.

Oooooh! There is more! This series is Every Friday.

I thought the Same… seems better imo

bro how come did you watch a 25 min video in under 5 min

​@@prinitjain2010Nice lesson

H5 was my thought too, threaten to open the file while getting a very dangerous pawn in the game; if you trade knights and white takes your pawn with their pawn, D6 discovered check is crippling and at minimum you're up an exchange with the enemy king exposed and on the second rank. I had the same thought to block with the bishop too, although I didn't think about how trading bishops isn't a check. I just figured that it removed one of black's few developed pieces, giving you even more freedom to keep attacking, with an added tempo if they didn't take and you unpin your own bishop at some point.

Chill out bro. He's just a Chess UKpostsr Gamer.😏😎

The music is called: So Long Analog. Trust me.

Was that supposed to be funny?

I am wondering the same thing

Well it does create a weakness and when white d6 then what would black do

That's why he said including the knight there 6 and then he proceeded to point out the 2 other checks from the knight with arrows...

@@Deathwish3838 I must've misunderstood; I thought he was counting the checks with the Queen, rather than all possible checks.
