    At 8:00, I would take the horse with my dark square bishop. If he recaptures with queen great! Mate in 2, capture d5 pawn with queen, black queen blocks, queen takes queen, and its mate.
    If he takes with bishop, just move light square bishop to d7 to block the queen. Queen won’t take because bishop is defended by the knight. Hoping that c pawn doesn’t move forward to protect d pawn, in the next turn you capture d pawn with queen and it’s mate (unless two pawns in front of king moves to make breathing room, in which case it’s just a check, but istill like the position)

    If you're up material in a position, try not to think 5 minutes on a complicated variation to try to figure out the best move in the position when you have a simple, but still good move that ensures you your (material) advantage that you already have.

    If the world is just and right, NL will at least TRY 15|10 so he doesn't have time problems like in the first game. Please, Father, we beg.

    @9:42 what does anybody do in this situation. Well... You traden knights and bishops, and then win the rook with Qd5+ I'd guess? :-)

    I am giving you the like before watching the video. I am also fond of aggressive moves and I never doubt the POGs will be delivered.
