      @andrew_owens7680 Před 11 měsíci +12

      It's perfect for a blitz game. Having to win an 80 move game under time control is very difficult and if he understands the closed position, he's almost unbeatable.

    • @neruba2173
      @neruba2173 Před 11 měsíci +7

      This is because closed positions only happens if both play closed, which is not very often. If any of the players want to open the game from the begining and start trading pawns the closed game is over.

    • @GPantazis
      @GPantazis Před rokem +2

      It doesn't really have many lines, the opening almost always transposes to some opening with the King's Bishop fianchetto. Its main difference is that Black can play any way he wants on the center, so from strong players it basically translates to "go ahead, pick an opening. Any opening. I know them all."

    @borisborcic Před 11 měsíci +6

    This channel is extraordinary, the drama illustrates the chess well enough that as bystander I get feeling of being into it even though I haven't really played since my teens [=~2*y2k - now]. Also, it makes me see playing chess as attracting players to a virtue I hadn't seen in chess, but that I sought in usenet news around y2k: the benefit of learning what neither knows beforehand by side effect of sharing a disciplined dispute with persistence. There's a bizarre coexistence/competition between the reward of winning a game and the reward to learn the lesson of an original game. What do chess players say to greet? Elo.

    I get the feeling if you had given that game more concentration, you could have won it! Not so much near the end, as It was already over 12 moves from the last, but as he was making that opening. Of course it might not have been so entertaining, but I really wanted you to beat him!

    Rook takes knight on H3 would have been interesting as bishop was pinned (@6:33)

    my strategy . ..control squares. old but works. this guy does this. If you own the board, your enemy's options are less.
    if your opening is quick , while talk. what knott....gets me 30...80 sec ;) while building a def that forces a sacrifice....
    its been way too long. .... I need to play more.

    Oh I get it! It’s a hustler if you win and an undercover GM if you lose. Clever!

      He gave his rating. Higher than hers. He was a master.

    The fact that he properly plays and clocks with just one hand, as a pro would be used to doing, sorta gives him away.

    As soon as she moved her Queen to G3, I knew it was over. He's a chill player but a beast

    I haven't watched too many of her games, but that's the first time I've seen her beaten, but I think its was close.

    Anna was low on time, but I think she needed to find the move Qh6 when she blundered her knight and ultimately lost the game
