    In this video, I play GM Varuzhan Akobian in a hard fought battle emerging from a Queen's Gambit Declined. After the game, we analyze the critical moments and provide many lessons to take away. This is the first video in a series of games that I played against Var. Each video will feature game play with commentary along with instructive analysis.
    Unfourtunately, the vod of Var's commentary got deleted, but I still highly recommend checking out his educational chess content on Twitch and UA-cam:

      @@poseidonsmafia1160 I'm certain that you have not played a classical timed game over the board. My logic dictates if you had played a 7 hour game over the board where every move you're forced to calculate as far ahead as you can. Perhaps a 7 hour final exam where the outcome determines your future is a better example for you. You may, afterwards, consider a 17 minute video to be not as long. (esp. considering you can watch this at x1.25 / x1.5 speeds)
