Chess Wisdom
View ChannelAbout
On my channel you will find an in-depth analysis of my favorite classic chess games. Classic games are much more instructive than the modern ones, as it is much easier to follow the strategic plans and their gradual implementation. Modern top-level grandmasters make much less mistakes than their predecessors, know everything about their opponent’s strategic plans and typical tactics and prevent these plans from being implemented, while the lower-rated viewers have no clue about these plans, as all these strategic and tactical ideas stay behind the scenes. Thus, chess classics is essential for anyone who wants to get a deep understanding of positional chess, strategy, tactics, develop intuitive thinking and recognize typical strategic and tactical patterns. Classic games are a treasure house of the deepest chess wisdom and by studying them you will also develop a better understanding of the modern high-level chess.

Welcome to the examination of knight power in chess. Knights achieve maximum effectiveness when positioned on squares where they cannot be attacked by enemy forces, especially by pawns. If you manage to place both of your knights on these squares, you can completely dominate your opponent and carry out a devastating attack. The following game by Alexander Alekhine illustrates all this at its best. 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 a6 4. a4 Nf6 5. e3 Bg4 6. Bxc4 e6 7. Nc3 Nc6 8. Be2 Bb4 9. O-O O-O 10. Nd2 Bxe2 11. Nxe2 e5 12. Nf3 Re8 13. Bd2 Bd6 14. Ng3 e4 15. Ne1 Bxg3 16. hxg3 Ne7 17. b4 Qd7 18. Nc2 Ned5 19. Na3 b5 20. axb5 axb5 21. Qe2 c6 22. Nc2 Qf5 23. Rfc1 h6 24. Ra5 Rac8 25. Na1 Ng4 26. Kf1 Re6 27. Rxb5 Rf6 28.
