MSK Chess's video: Chess master v Chess amateur

Chess video presentation of game eight from the book Chess master v chess amateur by former world champion Max Euwe. In this game the Chess Master is able to convert an advantage in space and development into a material advantage and although the advantage is quite slight, its enough to win the game. This is partly due to relinquishing the initiative through passive moves in the opening phase and partly due to loss of tempi by engaging in frivolous repositioning of the chess pieces. Other themes explored include opening up the king that remains in the centre, the premature pinning of the Kings knight and restricting the opponents pieces. Its hoped that many beginner and intermediate players can apply these chess principles and ideas in their own games of chess. Many thanks for taking the time to watch the video - regards MSK Chess (Robbie) original animation: https://vimeo.com/100846312 original background: https://vimeo.com/4604317 original song: http://youtu.be/h9HmpZGansQ Many thanks also go to these artists and for all the programmers in open source software who provided the programs and operating system to make the production of this chess video possible, you are pure awesome. https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
