Great game John. I've actually faced that line a few times, and I can't remember how it worked out. but now next time I'll know what to do! The computer is always recommending those kingside pawn moves for concrete reasons, but I don't like to play them because I can't defend nearly as precisely as a computer, so whenever I weaken my king like that, I end up in big trouble! (like sometimes I'm tempted to do it as black in a Nimzo against white's Leningrad but it doesn't tend to work out well for me)
I enjoyed both the live action analysis and the postmortem analysis. Both were enlightening. I also like how you keep your cool while the clock is ticking on your turn. I need to learn that because whenever I let time pressure get to me I make bad choices and get crushed even by players that I should easily beat. Any advice on how to stay focused and relaxed under pressure, John?
John Bartholomew Hey John, amazing video as always! I wanted to ask you one quick question, what is the website that you mentioned where you watched Norway Chess and other tournaments? I replayed that part many times and couldn't quite understand it. Thanks!

Hey John can you tell me what the number next to you and your opponents name is? It doesn't seem to be going above 40 or below 20.
