Cutting Onions #2 : Bishop Pair is Overrated and Calculation is Unnecessary

Calculation is Unnecessary

look at this position, don't move the pieces on the board yet, calculate 18... Nxe5 19.Bf4 Ng4 and now go further and see if Nxe5 is sound or not

I did a good thing calculating Nxe5, because I was in a worse position, a pawn down, so it was necessary to calculate some way of getting some material back, good Job Onion,

I was like damn damn Nxe5 Bf4 Ng4 Bxc7 Nxf2 Bxd8 and Nxe4, brillianto, Mikhail Tal's distant relative Onion Tal.

but but but, where is the calculation brother, how many times have I told you, that you need to

Find the best moves for your opponent, your opponent is not there to eat Kadle Beeja (Groundnuts)

Rxf2, and you are piece down. Hehehe, unbrillianto.

Calculating long lines is easy, Calculating correct lines is hard, don't confuse long for correct.

Clap your hands if you know that Bishop Pair is important.

I won't clap, because look at this game, I don't deserve to clap

TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, DON'T TRADE BISHOP FOR KNIGHT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CONCRETE LINE or LOGICAL REASON

Bro gave up bishop pair to create imbalances, but imbalance doesn't mean getting into worse positions, for absolutely no reason, because the best part is I knew that an attack is coming if I trade the dark squared bishop for the knight

So what's the general lesson?

FOLLOW YOUR LESSONS!

don't sabotage your games, your opponent is already trying to defeat you, you don't need to help them, help yourself, help your pieces.
