Description: Finding the best chess moves to win games is easiest if you approach your positions systematically. But how can you achieve this? IM Kostya Kavutskiy reveals the secret in his new course "Forcing Moves Force Wins". Get it here 50% OFF ►ichs.co/Forcing-Moves-Kavutskiy We’ve all heard things like “Checkmate wins the game.” and “Forcing moves force wins.” But what exactly are forcing moves? Checks are the most direct forcing moves since your opponent has to deal with the threat to his king before he can do anything else. This is what makes discovered checks a deadly tactic. Captures are slightly less forcing because your opponent does not have to recapture your piece. Threats can be very useful forcing moves if you threaten a checkmate or a piece of greater value than your piece, which is under attack. Our instinctive reaction is to defend a piece or move it away from the attack, but counter-attacking in chess is an excellent defensive technique. Always consider forcing moves in this order: checks, captures, and threats. Our trust in our opponent can stop us from capturing a piece because we are hesitant to believe our opponent played a bad move. We often think there must be a trap we’re missing when playing stronger opponents. The biggest resistance we have often involves captures. This is where we are most likely to stop at the first sign of resistance. However, we win a lot of games because we have a significant material advantage! To win material, we must be willing to push through our resistance and double-check we haven’t given up on a move too soon. Be ready to consider every possible move you can play, no matter how bad it appears. ► Corresponding article from this video with extra goodies: ichs.co/Best-Chess-Moves-to-Win ► Join the iChess Club, an exclusive community for our top chess fans: ichs.co/ytclub ► Come check out the iChess.net shop, we have the world’s largest collection of chess videos and chess courses: ichs.co/iChessShop ********** Other Videos from iChess ********** ► Subscribe to our main Youtube Channel: ichs.co/iChSubscribe ► Check out our Master Method video series: ichs.co/MasterMethod ********** FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: *********** Facebook: ichs.co/iChessFB Twitter: ichs.co/iChessTwitter YouTube: ichs.co/iChSubscribe ********** Our Other YouTube Channels *********** iChess Ch 2: ichs.co/iChess2 iChess en español: ichs.co/iChessESP
