Hi I'm Gary Kasparov and I'm here to answer your chest related questions from twitter.

Chess players point at pieces squares with middle finger.

I'm not sure I I never paid attention to that fact.

Maybe we have to ask a psychologist to see the enough samples for us to come up with such a, such a definite conclusion.

Bishop or knight depends if you're religious or not.

The general assumption is that both like pieces or are of equal price in ponds?

I think bobby fisher was the first one who indicated that bishop should be valued higher 3.25 3 points for night.

I was more reserved actually put 3.15 for for bishop.

But now we're looking at at at some of the computer games I would say that maybe fishers evaluation was was was correct.

After machines played millions of games we just learned that bishop's value um is simply higher since in many more cases it was more useful piece.

Do I have to develop all of my minor pieces before activating my queen?

The answer is yes, queen is the strongest piece.

But you can argue it's the weakest one because if it's attacked has to move move move away because it's it's most valuable piece.

I can come up with many opening positions.

We're activating the queen is is very natural.

So there are many openings where your queen is being developed at as early as moved four or five.

I would recommend uh for weak players to follow the rule and not to bring your queen into battle too early.

But for those who are making progress in the game of chess by studying openings professionally, you have to be cautious all the time trying to apply general rules uh universally all the time.

Even if it severely restricts the king's movement?

And obviously after castle you remove king from the vulnerable position in the center.

So restricting the king's movement is is not as as dangerous as leaving the king in the open.

You are in doubt and you want to castle but short or long in one or two.

I would say if you castle short it's a roughly even game but you cannot expect to gain an advantage.

So Castling long is more aggressive, more ambitious but it's risky.

Now with the second one um Black has very comfortable game, they can simply castle short and they have excellent position.

I would probably go short castle but maybe it's my age talking, what is your favorite gambit opening In chess?

Black, I don't think gambits are just offering you an advantage against the world prepared open opponent.

I loved Evans gambit, I played quite a few games and some of them were instructive wins.

Now with black we played a couple of times.

Vole gambit, banker gambit as as as is known in the free world.

I can hardly think of any real gambits with with black except this state of the Bank of gambit where you can that you can employ at the at the professional level.

Mr Casper in your expert opinion, why doesn't adam Carlson for that matter?

Ever use something wild like King's gambit because it's wild players at that level.

They don't play wild openings and serious games.

I can tell you spend a lot of time analyzing it and it always ends up with negative results.

So that's why if you're a big fan of the King's Gambit, I wouldn't recommend you holding your breasts expecting Carlson or other top players employing it uh in the top tournaments.

On another note, do you advocate Evans gambit or a stronger player or will it be crushed these days?

It's hard to say no for Evans gambit because I won quite a few games, very memorable one against in 1995?

So for strong player, someone who is known for his or her preparation, I think you have to be very cautious by making such a choice.

It depends very much on what you mean saying strong player.

So because we can we can disagree on the definition though.

I think that if you want to play such a sharp opening gambit.

Sacrificing opponent before you're not thinking of equalizing you're thinking about taking initiative and crushing your opponents.

But just bear in mind that Evans gambit has disappeared completely from from the games of the top players.

Can anyone recommend a good book on chess?

It helps strong players to become stronger.

So I enjoyed reading the book and I said you can always learn something from there.

Even if you if you are weak, relatively weak player or a very strong one is control of the center.

One of the most important things you must do in order to win the game of chess.

But I can give you many examples where you control the center but the king is being made.

I would strongly recommend that you put king safety as a number one priority tech ai types as a genuine question.

How much should we read into the ability of a computer to quickly get really good at chess or go?

It's impressive, but it's also about logic and involves very constrained and ultimately limited choices.

I think you answered the question, it's about the logic but it's a closed system because we established the rules, we should recognize that the moment the open and the system has been limited to a close framework machines will do a better job by simply just going around this and establishing their own set of priorities, chess and other games they like go there offering come excellent, excellent opportunity to study the ability of machines for us to look into much bigger problems of the universe and nature learning chess.

I can tell you that in any version of chess there are different rules and different patterns.

For instance the japanese game called Shaggy.

It's uh has many different rules that are very unusual for our eyes because we train just to look at our version of chess.

I think it's just, it's somehow it's a combination of of the different abilities of the pieces.

And I can tell you that our forebears did a great job by actually coming up with such a balanced game.

Thank you so much for asking all these questions.

Some of them are too professional to my taste.

Some of them are very primitive again to my taste.

But that's the beauty of the game of chess.

You can enjoy the game, you can ask questions even if you are a very weak player or if you are experienced club player or even a very, very strong player.

 And that's creates this global chess family.
