  • This video features a chess game I played in the Janauary 2024 Titled Arena on lichess.org. I played the game with Zen Mode, which is a setting that hides my opponent's username and rating. After the game, I found out that my opponent is one of the top ranked chess players in the world.

    Really nice game! Dang! I cannot seem to play like this sometimes. It seems whenever I am too focused, I end up focusing on one part of the board too much and miss something on another part. I was thinking at about the 2 minute mark, he could have taken on h2 and then taken the knight. That would have been my line of thinking had I been playing this game. Great content!

      @bartholomewtheiiijr.386 Год назад +6

      I believe the issue is Bxh2+, Nxh2, Qxb6, b5 which I believe wins back the pawn but white keeps his dark square bishop while black doesn't when the dark bishops are more important in this situation. On top of that the threat is Bxc5 by white, which is a fork in that position, so black would have to spend his turn to move his rook or queen away, and then after Bxc5 he would have to move the other piece, losing tempo. I could be wrong.
