      Yeah.

X was outpaced by the last Pogchamps and it isn't getting closer. He doesn't really realize how much they've gotten better.

      when theres many pieces on the board = fewer possible moves for a given piece, some more obvious and easier to spot
      few pieces remainin on the board= so much more possible moves for a piece, very hard to find which ones the best
      lets say its a rook endgame, that would be really difficult, because the instructions are just king-rook-pawn, it would be SO much harder to find which king/rook move is the best given so many squares on the board

    7:58 Can someone explain why pushing the bishop , taking a free pawn, with the queen putting king in check in 2 moves and messing up his kings postion and defense wasn't the play ?! Very ametuer here , so i know the obvious move is often a wrong one taken in haste. I just dont see a downfall or trap involved and it does indeed seem like the play at hand. And then after making his move , the oppenent moves the rook from the trapped position, further leading me to believe the bishop should have been pushed with anpossible queen take with the bishop after an annattempt at defense with his knight and two checks. Just would like some insight on this, please. Is this a 5head move or am i oblivious to a trap ?

    At 7:59 why isn’t it check mate if he moved his bishop to a3 then he can’t take the bishop cause the queen will take the queen. So then he can just take the pawn at b2 with the queen and then the queen would be protected by the bishop so it will be checkmate.

      I think black would play Ng3, blocking the queens pin on the pawn, so white would just have to move the bishop back and black would develop a piece.

    at 9:22 he could have moved his bishop to h-6 and got check mate within the next move of moving his queen to g-7 and taking the pawn having the the bishop back his queen- any one else see this ?

      Ng6 blocks the pin and attacks E5 pawn forcing bishop back to F4, giving black option to take only bishop and also 2 moves tempo lost.
