After 4.e5 Bg7, instead of 5.f4, white should play 5.Bf4. It develops the bishop and is slightly higher rated by Stockfish, but more importantly, it is the one that has performed the best in practice. What is odd is that after 4... Bg7, the Masters database on lichess shows f4 being played 71% of the time, while Bf4 is played only 9% of the time, but in terms of games played, white has a 40%-29% chance with f4 as compared with a 48%-4% edge with Bf4. Black has only one win out of 18 games in the database. Admittedly, 18 games is not an overwhelming amount of data, but I am persuaded that it is the better option to try in that position.
The drilling stopped quickly. Otherwise I would have recorded again. My neighbors have been doing construction for over 2 years now. They could be drilling a tunnel to rob a bank 100km away.
i was already missing the daily videos! Glad to see u back
Bravo, very good game, where you envisioned both strategy and tactics properly. 17...Qa6 is as good as 17...exd4, but for sure 'more professional'.
Congratulations for a good game and a Happy New Year!
Qa6 was nice! It was the first move I considered while looking at the position, but considering and playing a move are two different things
Nice to see you playing the Gurgenidze! I, too, have a couple of OTB classical games with it :)
Great video as always!
11:50 I see what you did there 😂

Nice Monstera Deliciousia there. Did you know there is a mini version?
I have to be honest and say that Lucija is in charge of the rainforest in our apartment. I know what a monstera is. That's about it:D
I have a mini Monstera in Milan, Italy
There should be some noise cancelling software, which maybe will allow a better auditory experience for the audience

Please do kings India attack in your channel 🙏🏼
Ja sam isto igrao Bošnjaci open, vidio sam te i htio sam te pozdravit ali si otisao prije zadnjeg kola, pa nisam uspio😅. Ja sam imao 4 i pol boda
Ma imao sam sastanak koji nisam mogao propustiti za vrijeme zadnjeg kola. Vidimo se na iducem. Slobodno pozdravi i ranije:D
Good luck reaching 2000 as soon as possible, afterwards 2500 and a GM title 🍀❤️🤴🏻♟️
