Crazy how you manage to explain each move in a rapid game against >2100 and still be able to play such great and clear chess.

Best sound quality of all the Chess-tubers. I really appreciate it

Evidence last player was cheating: joined 9 days ago; has a really high rapid rating yet only meh blitz and bullet ratings; played a very odd bishop first capture; a wierdly rapidly thought out clever defense against rook invasion (getting his rook to b6); had ealier piece shuffling that seemed computer like; that Bf6 move the streamer found wierd; kept picking the 2nd choice of stockfish; showed in the chat suggesting stream sniping which doesn't speak well for his character; gave a laughable explanation that he was just being extremely careful. (most untitled players would be very careful against higher rated titled opposition, which still doesn't yield the best results usually)

The rational verdict: guilty

Please do more of these episodes they are amazing ❤

I would love to see you play 15 / 10. That way, when you get to a complicated endgame, you always have time to calculate.

I credit you with an improvement in my understanding of the game. My biggest issue is not the opening, but the middle game. In recent weeks I have won against two FMs in over the board blitz.

change the thumbnails a bit because these look like your older videos so i didnt pay much attention when it got recommended thinking it was the older video, later clicked on it when i saw time of upload. Many like me will miss your streams this way

It’s fun watching you pick on people your own size

ArthurChessYT played pretty damn well at just 12 years old. He was uploading to youtube 2 years ago and was 10 years old at that point. Much better than me at less than half my age, the struggle lol

I'm amazed at your ability to commentate on your moves while playing. I tried this with my son today. 15/10 game. I'm 1500 rapid. I won, eventually, but time was 😅

Game Time - 1 hr 50 min - i am curious why you never considered bishop on e3 pinning the queen on b6 & next moving your knight to e6 handing a check and winning the queen

[stephengrosenbach]

You absolute beast. Man said "Good warm up game". After winning one of the sweatiest games possible lol. 😂😂

In the last game, at 2:29:42 in the video, Nelsi has 9:23 on the clock, right after black Nxe4, follow up with Bxf7+, Kxf7. Q-f3+, K moves, Qxe4, you get the pawn back, and black can't castle. Further, black is not developed enough to attack your queen, as the pawn on c6 makes the knight develop to d7 or a6, and the bishop is blocked by pawns. What's wrong with that? Sure, you trade a good bishop, but opponent is underdeveloped and can't castle.

1:09:21 black K capturing h3 pawn, then in most cases moving black K to g3 should be good for black.

1:03:53 I was considering to play pawn a2-a4 then after capture K c4, Kn d3 to go to c5 blocking bishop while King eats pawns to make passed pawn or two.

Love this type of content. Fun and helpful.

20:15 What about sac’ing on Bxf2, luring king out, then pawn takes and the rook is aligned with the king as well.

[niravapurv]

At 1:43:07 why is e5 better than Nxd1? The bishop seems hanging with and attack on the rook and then black has e5+ In reserve.But perhaps its that after Nxd1 white can harrash the king with Rb6+, and then black cant play Ke7 because of the fork, so that might loose the e6 pawn. I guess thats why.

[warryen]

At around 13:12, why not push the pawn on G6 instead of moving the king? It would have trapped the bishop. You had no mistakes or blunders, so I assume it’s a bad move, I’m just not sure why.
