  1. deniswhy did you play that? whats your benefit?
  2. ErwinSmithHere you responded quite normal
  3. denisi can advance 2 pieces and you get back to starting position
  4. ErwinSmithWhat specific move?
  5. denisThe whole sequence
  6. denisafter you capture, i drop, you go back
  7. denisits my turn, i advanced both generals, and you got.. not too much?
  8. ErwinSmithThe rook pawn push allows me to activate the rook faster
  9. denisso you "sac" it to get some positional beneftis?
  10. ErwinSmithI have a wider range
  11. ErwinSmithYep
  12. denisi see!
  13. ErwinSmithSo basically, in opening, you want to activate the major pieces as fast as possible
  14. ErwinSmithThey need some space to be used well
  15. ErwinSmithSo give it to them
  16. ErwinSmithThat's why 26 and 76 pawn are the common opening moves
  17. ErwinSmithSo as gote, you may respond depending on your preference
  18. ErwinSmithDo you play static or ranging rook?
  19. denisyeah, no idea :)
  20. deniswhatever i feel like, i dont know any
  21. ErwinSmithBut you know the rules, yes?
  22. ErwinSmithAnd the moves?
  23. denisdidnt i prove i do?
  24. denis.. yes i do
  25. ErwinSmithTwo common openings are static and ranging. Let me explain them
  26. ErwinSmithStatic is more likely to be aggressive while ranging is more passive/defensive
  27. ErwinSmithStatic is when you don't move your rook or move it in here
  28. denisi see, i expected it to be the other way around
  29. ErwinSmithIt's more aggressive because you don't most likely need to move the rook
  30. ErwinSmithFast attack
  31. ErwinSmithWhile ranging usually start with this move:
  32. ErwinSmithThe 4th, 3rd, and central rooks
  33. ErwinSmithAny questions, so far?
  34. ErwinSmithOr maybe you like to have a handicap game first?
  35. denisno thanks :)
  36. ErwinSmithSo the main point of opening (for me) is to activate the rook or bishop fast
  37. ErwinSmithAnd find ways to promote them or use them in good use
  38. ErwinSmithI'm not sure about this move but I've seen it played
  39. ErwinSmithHowever, if you move that, you must not invite a bishop exchange
  40. ErwinSmithThat exchange kinda weakens your position as happened in the game
  41. ErwinSmithLook here
  42. ErwinSmithThey are not connected
  43. denishmm
  44. ErwinSmithBut not a major problem because it can be solved with this:
  45. ErwinSmithHere
  46. ErwinSmithCan you tell me what's the problem?
  47. denisehm
  48. denisat this very position?
  49. ErwinSmithYep
  50. ErwinSmithAfter that rook move
  51. deniswell, you dropped your bishop there soon
  52. ErwinSmithRight, you gave me a good dropping square
  53. ErwinSmithYou must be careful with that
  54. denisjup...
  55. ErwinSmithDrops are really surprising at first
  56. ErwinSmithSo in planning, you must consider those also
  57. ErwinSmithNot only what's on the board but also what may come after
  58. ErwinSmithSee the difference, guard your camp
  59. ErwinSmithBtw, do you know any castles?
  60. denisno, i just know you gotta move the king to a corner and place some strong pieces around it xD
  61. ErwinSmithAhh, not only strong. It has specific req according to the proverb
  62. ErwinSmithAt least 3 generals if i'm not mistaken
  63. ErwinSmithBut don't overdo your castle at the point where there are few attackers
  64. ErwinSmithI kinda like the way how you "shoo" my horse
  65. denis:D
  66. ErwinSmithBut this exchange is not good for you
  67. denishm, but a horse is better than a bishop
  68. ErwinSmithWell...not so bad
  69. denisi missed you can just drop it again thuogh
  70. ErwinSmithYep
  71. ErwinSmithI also like that you insisted on staying on that file
  72. ErwinSmithYou see an opportunity there
  73. ErwinSmithSome may overlook it and move sideways instead
  74. ErwinSmithYeah so the main problem here is the lack of coordination and defense
  75. ErwinSmithYour camp is very vulnerable
  76. ErwinSmithI can introduce you at least two castles
  77. ErwinSmithIf you want
  78. denisSure, thank you!
  79. deniswould i make them my priority?
  80. ErwinSmithYeah you may
  81. ErwinSmithWhen I started palying I also usually stick on a single opening and castle
  82. deniswhen did you start :)?
  83. ErwinSmithJust last year March
  84. deniswow!
  85. ErwinSmithI'll teach you one each for static and ranging
  86. denisthank you!
  87. ErwinSmithFirst for ranging
  88. ErwinSmithThis is 4th file rook or shikenbisha
  89. ErwinSmithI'm showing the most common line
  90. ErwinSmithBut may vary on every game
  91. ErwinSmithBe careful of this silver
  92. ErwinSmithIf not defended well, you'll messed up your camp
  93. ErwinSmithBut honestly I can't defend it well also
  94. ErwinSmithEspecially against the avid users of it
  95. ErwinSmithBut the main waring here is to let that silver go the 5th rank
  96. ErwinSmithnever
  97. ErwinSmith*warning
  98. ErwinSmithExample
  99. ErwinSmithSee?
  100. denisyup
  101. ErwinSmithEven tho you got a silver, the opp has more advantage
  102. ErwinSmithSame result
  103. ErwinSmithBe careful of that
  104. ErwinSmithDo not accept that pawn
  105. ErwinSmithNow here is the blurry part for me
  106. ErwinSmithHahaha
  107. ErwinSmithAnyways...let's just focus on the castle alone
  108. ErwinSmithThis is the first castle
  109. ErwinSmithThe half mino
  110. ErwinSmithOne of the fastest to build
  111. deniswhat are those arrows?
  112. denisis it "stable"?
  113. ErwinSmithJust enclosing the castle
  114. ErwinSmithOf course there are still countermeasures against it
  115. denisah
  116. ErwinSmithThey protect each other
  117. ErwinSmithThis is weak on side attacks and the infamous anti mino
  118. ErwinSmithThis is the mino
  119. ErwinSmithThe complete one
  120. ErwinSmithSame weakness as the first
  121. denisi should check a video :-)
  122. ErwinSmithUsually you want to push that 17 pawn
  123. ErwinSmithFor escaping purposes
  124. ErwinSmithAlso, this castle is upgradeable
  125. ErwinSmithThis is the ultimate form
  126. ErwinSmithThe silver crown mino
  127. ErwinSmithBut you can ignore it for now
  128. ErwinSmithJust the basic one first
  129. ErwinSmithDo you want to know the infamous anti_mino?
  130. ErwinSmithThat attack needs a bishop, knight, and general at least
  131. ErwinSmithThey will place a bishop in that diagonal to pin that pawn
  132. ErwinSmithThen drop a knight here:
  133. ErwinSmithThen drop a general on 28 for possible checkmate
  134. ErwinSmithSo that is mino castle. Any query?
  135. ErwinSmithThis is one of my commonly used castle
  136. denishow many castles do you know?
  137. denisand do you regularly play?
  138. ErwinSmithFour castles (with subvariants)
  139. ErwinSmithFor the past week, I haven't played a game yet
  140. ErwinSmithUntil now
  141. ErwinSmithI learned most of these castles from my opponents
  142. ErwinSmithThe only castle that I know without knowing from an opp is the anaguma
  143. ErwinSmith"Bear-in-the-hole"
  144. ErwinSmithI heard it from 3gatsu no Lion then researched about it
  145. ErwinSmithNo more question about mino? I'll head to the next one?
  146. ErwinSmithAlso, you may ask the others from the Harbour for a more accurate and technical explanation about castles and opnings
  147. ErwinSmithShall I continue or stop for now?
  148. ErwinSmith...
  149. ErwinSmithI'll have to leave now. Just ask me if there's any queries. Thank you for the game
