Also master Quora commentator Tom Wilkins writes about Naroditsky's winning online blitz record against King Magnus.
Ultrarunner, hailing from Denmark, plays boring but winning chess at ICC with his pet line the King's Indian Attack. In the diagrammed position, White "threatens" Queen to d8 check. This is an instance of playing safe or conservatively. OTB players would be inclined to play the safe defensive move Qe7. However White's impotent prelate at f3 would make a postal player scratch his whiskers and consider the greedy Queen captures pawn at b3 not fearing the "meaningless check" since the White light squared Bishop is poorly placed not being able to aid in attacking what appears to be a vulnerable Black Monarch!!
A dude at ChessFox.com can relate to all this citing Philidor's claim that pawns are the soul of chess. I find it sooo odd that the owner of ChessFox never identifies themselves, but want you to buy chess tutorials from them. Maybe a lower rate player who thinks it would hurt his bottom line or sales?
PLEASE USCF, pay Noroditsky more. I just saw why I have not been seeing his columns in Chess Life. The breaking bad fan has one bad ass YouTube channel and is raking in the Adsense revenue! I don't blame him, but I miss his high quality chess exposition big time!!!! I guy name Tom Kayma wants him back too to rekindle interest in Georgia Chess!!! Comonnn!!!!
ReplyDeleteNaroditsky dumped the low paying column he was writing for an opulent YouTube Channel!! I don't know why he gave away all that invaluable chess acumen for the paltry wages paid by united states chess federation. Maybe he viewed the video by sexy hot Gillian Perkins
