In other words, when you are fully connected to you inner Bob Ross...

@@Thebatsign yeah, a very instructive blunder actually, because we all have such tendencies due to fear based protection first mindsets.

@@bobrossofwar4096 thank you man!! Really appreciate your comment, because that's exactly what I'm trying to do, help others with easy to understand, intuitively legit ideas. Definitely don't take it too seriously. Treat the game a bit like Bob Ross treats the canvas, as a fun little dance of creative ideas. And be comfortable with losing, because it is inevitable no matter how good you become.

b4 is quite playable but wouldn't be my preferred choice even if I had plenty of time. Two problems after axb4 Qxb4 Rxa2 Qxb7 Rxe2... 1. Opens up blacks rook which is currently out of the game and 2. Losing the bishop pair which is a long term strategic asset. The queen on b7 looks invasive, but there is not that much scope for destruction as it might appear. The idea with Re1, which I agree looks like quite a non move, is to be able to play Bd1 should opponent play Ba6. Thereby preserving bishop pair without losing rook. Thank you for the comment!

Omg i didn't see bishop on b7 defends the rook lol. Thanks for the explanation though

@@pedramtajeddini5100 lol yeah, if not for the bishop there, b4 very playable and should guarantee an eventual passed pawn

@@itzmarko476 thanks bro!

Hahaha yeah I sure did choke like biaatch there

Highly instructive!

you the man gert!

@@ashwinkumar26 Not really though, I mean my rating is (considerably) lower than yours, but I might be better at tactics than you. That is probably because my mind is not churning so much on the strategy machine like you, which just goes to show how important strategy is. Even if you miss to give tactical blows you still proceed to win. Plus you are multi-tasking by providing commentary/teaching to the audience. Hats off!

@@nathanielaguilar993 heeeelllll yea

Yes that's right!

@@ashwinkumar26 O wow!

Narratives about Carlsen not caring anymore are all nonsense. Carlsen cares! He ain't the GOAT for nothing. He ain't going down 5-0 to a snotty little despot. He doesn't go 5-0 down to anyone, period. Even in todays final against Firoujza, he didn't even lose 2 games in a row at any point in the match. He beat Firouzja 22-7 but against Niemann he only managed 17-12? Nah. The red flags are too many to ignore when it comes to Niemann. In fact, he played more weird openings against Firoujza once the outcome was sealed e.g. Fried Liver than he did against Niemann. So he totally cared. He in fact did diss Niemann physically after winning 3-4 bullet games in a row with a kind of "c'mon let me destroy you" hand gesture, and it was interestingly immediately after that that Niemann won 5 in a row, and that too, while consuming only 20-30 seconds in each game. The steady rating increase (as opposed to winning every single game) is part of a calculated strategy to bypass the cheating detection system that looks for statistical significance in outcomes over a period of many games. By winning and losing , but gradually increasing, he can attempt to credit his rise to "hard work" or "good time management" as he did in his interview. But any chess player knows how hard it is to gain even a 100 points at the 2000 levels, let alone the 2600 levels where it would be exponentially harder. One can only speculate on mechanisms, but yes, it is the age of technology. And yes, microchips in brains do exist e.g. Neuralink

He couldn't cheat in the SCC because it had the heaviest anti-cheating measures of any tournament ever apparently

@@ashwinkumar26 he means he stopped caring in that particular match after he was so many points ahead that he couldn't lose

@@chesneytube1 that is just a narrative, it is not the truth. Carlsen said he didn't care (about technical issues that Niemann was complaining about towards the end of the match), but he totally did care about winning every single game. Because that's what Champions do.

It's sad that your opinion is so logically and rationally wrong with Hans cheating in the SCC . You are jealous of another person's success or just a biased Magnus fanboy , either way your opinion is wrong . Think a little more about the whole situation, a little bit more critically , learn about the 2 sides more and don't be just influenced by some trends (a hating trend in this matter) it's just a lesson on how to think more clearly . The world would be such a better place with people thinking smarter without influence and concluding by themselves with all the information .

@@Damnedandinpain He doesn't want to think critically. He has made his mind and his mind mirrors the objective world perfectly (or so he seems to believe) . I see no point in arguing. The arrogance is way too much here.

@@jaylenlenear3944 kinda impossible to say tbh, but I have fond memories of my earliest tournament games, as they played a big role in shaping my future development

@@Redneckchessclub sometimes but can't post videos for those due to limits on video upload length

Rc7 and I will have to lose either the bishop in e7 or the knight on b7.

Thanks for the lesson

@@Gooberskiii appreciate the comment!
