Three youngsters – D.Gukesh, Siddharth Jagadeesh and Savitha Shri had the time of their life at the ChessBase office in Hamburg. Not only did they get to see the place where the world’s best chess software is produced, but they also got time with one of the greatest endgame experts in the world – Karsten Mueller. In this video Karsten Mueller teaches the youngsters an extremely important endgame lesson – What is Opposition?
Can you define it? If not, check the video to understand a mathematician’s take on the definition of opposition.

5 years ago, they were learning opposition, now he is challenging world champ!
This is how you create chess prodigies! Hire the best coaches money can buy!
Starting from the King, every 3rd, 5th and 7th square (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and every 3rd, 5th and 7th square from that previous square (again, horizontal, vertical or diagonal) are in opposition. This is the definition.
Hmm super ayiki
I am surprised that Gukesh does not know what is being told at 0.49….basically if we study silmans endgame course or imbalances book, he clearly defines the logic for the kind of opposition that mueller was explaining
I thought for Gukesh at his level, he would already know about the same coloured corners squares rule
Interesting Need to check on board
This so beautiful.
I play chess for now over 4 years and of course I know what opposition is but I don't know how to define it.
I know the concept of the square when it comes to pawn and king chases.
But I did NOT know this concept can apply to this kind of endgame
Interesting
I understood the define of opposition🙂
Very nice video by chessbase
Well done IM Sagar shah sir
Interesting concept, it must have its concrete utility in the game 👊
I play chess & I found this video very interesting……
We should make rectangle or square with all corner of same colour
Amazing explanation. Never thought in this way. Simple and Clear Explanation !!!
The illustrations dont keep up with the voice narration, especially toward the end of the video. This can be confusing.
JESUS CHRIST
no idont understand what karsten saying it think that he is producing some new mad rules of opposition i am sure that the three of them didnot understand them as well
Please make this type of video of all child gm prag nihal and gukesh and thanks for this video
amazing. ..plz post such videos. ..thanks chessbase
Education in a game
What is opposition?
In one word be ODD.
ONLY TRUE CHESS PLAYERS WILL UNDERSTANDING.
I think Their are distant opposition , near by opposition and indirect opposition
No, I did not understand the last half minute.
Just learnt something new after watching it two times… Thank you
This wasn't a good lecture. This is a bad example of a lecture. The guy should have taken the time to demonstrate exactly what's opposition, to make a definition, and to mathematically prove that it works. What he did is not a good way to estimulate kids, or anyone. People learn when they are exposed, slowly, to the concept, in steps.
Gukesh at 1:16
Thats wonderful explanation.
So i cant gain opposition on a or c file if the enemy king is on b file?
