In lesson #7A I asked you to examine a complicated chess position. In this part you can compare your findings with my explanation of the position. Dont forget the read the postscript below the video!
Postscript: In the video I speak of Rce1 and Rfe1. Rce1 is more precise, since then Black does not have the possibility of Rxc1 after White takes on d5 with his knight.
Wonderful! Very detailed and specific explanation of the position and possibilities. I correctly got as far as Qf3 and then lost the thread – didn’t consider the Rce1 move. This tells me that I do (as you mentioned that weaker players do) get “stuck” in one idea without realizing I could have combined different ideas. The rooks really aren’t doing anything at that point, so reinforcement is a logical idea.
hi the video definitly opened my eyes to some things that i miss. i seem to have problems staying focused. your break down of positions and games are really helping thank you
Very insightful!. I will never have though of 1.Bxd5 because it looks anti-positional and because I am lazy!. This idea of concrete play is very revealing and I think that is the reason why some many GM moves seem ankward when seen at first time but are really part of concrete thinking.
Also, nice final touch of the historic reference.
A note: Is the postcript notation reversed?. Should it be Rce1 instead of Rec1?.

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for pointing that out!
It is a typo indeed and should be Rce1.
