Excellent trainable moment. We typically don't look enough for these obstruction moves.

they call it "umbrella" technique in chess books. Nice, I use that technique some time, since that I've learned it.

Great video and important lesson; I’ve recently learned this from either one of another videos of yours or someone else’s and have since implemented it and it has for sure saved some games for me when I was inclined to take the pawn!

I've always called this "giving my king a little hat" when I would notice it consciously while considering it, thanks for the video to solidify that reasoning!

I can’t thank you enough for making these videos. They are the highlight of my day. You are sooo entertaining to watch and you’re a wonderful teacher. I work as a psychologist and I occasionally recommend your clips to clients who have difficulty thinking through their decisions. I don’t know if you read these comments but I’m so grateful. Thank you.

In my language, they call this (and I've edited this to make it more PC) "placing the opponent's piece on your head". The phrasing in Dutch is slightly more vulgar/racist.
