    It never ceases to amaze me how players rated almost 2000 make 1 or 2 move tactical mistakes. Game 2 was decided by a simple remove the defender tactic losing a minor piece. It happens all the time. Chess truly is 99% tactics until you reach 2200-2100.

    These games were really enjoyable to watch and learn from. It's fascinating how there's always a move in a position as long as you stay focused and think things through, like the queen trap in the last game is findable when you take a step back and realise the queen is just overextended without any backup

    Very pretty conversion in game 1. Especially I liked the optics of the white queen dominating the center on d5 while the black queen was passive on c8 (which led to control of the only open file, control of the seventh rank, and a decisive kingside attack).

    48:05 Fantastic trap for the queen here..opponents morale must have been minus 10- resigned on spot ;)) Thank you for another great video!! You continue to take your time and calculate moves much more than these opponents, relying on your fast blitz game at the end- I'm guessing us and these opponents don't have a fast blitz game so they can't take their time and calculate.. I'm guessing this will end at around 2300-2400 opponents but we'll see ;)

    • @eric-rosen
      @eric-rosen  2 дня назад +9

      I just checked the position to see why the engine doesn't like f4. Apparently after 8.f4 d5 9.e5 Qh6, black is doing quite okay with Nf5 coming next.
      I didn't want to play 8.0-0, because d5 looked annoying to meet, but the engine points out 9.Nb5! is quite strong for white, as black as some issues with the c7-pawn.
      Definitely some lessons to take away there!
