    As someone who is rated at approximately this level, it's useful to see what was played (and what I honestly would probably have played) vs. what is the better move. I know you make these low rank videos more for entertainment, but I actually get a lot of value out of them. Thanks Levy!

      Yeah I've actually hung that mate with the queen coming in on the back rank to H1 myself in games trying to protect another square with the king. You kind of get used to how safe your king is once castled with a Fianchetto bishop and its easy to forget that the king is the only protector of those squares....at least for me.

    Thanks Levy! I'm pleasantly surprised that I not just won the GLE lottery but also featured in a standalone video! (I played white in this game)
    Few notes from what I can recall from my line of thinking, in case anyone was wondering (AMA!):
    - 5:32: I had some success in Scandinavian with this bishop and rook setup (usually winning a queen or something with a discovery) so I was tunnel visioned to clear e-file for the rook than anything else.
    - 7:09: I saw Rxb1 loses a2 pawn but Bxb1 can still protect so I went for it, didn't even look one step further after Qxa2, which ofc was the thing I was trying to do all along.
    - 11:37: Starting from here I missed most of black's queen backrank mate, wasn't aware that moving my bishop out is a way better idea.
    - 14:20: Believing black was doing some sort of rook sac idea that I didn't see, I decided to not give what they wanted, but I realized immediately after Qd8+ that was stupid 😂. I wonder if I recalled the rule of "2 more attacking pieces" at that moment I would see that was just a clear rook blunder.
    - 16:15: Can confirm, you won the million dollars.
    - 19:39: My brain isn't functioning, and I have this tendency of not giving what my opponent would obvious expect me to do.
    - 20:24: I just eyeballed that my king was more active, can probably stop those pawns after a queen trade, and I have queenside pawn majority, which was all an illusion.
    Have been struggling but I'm now motivated to put more efforts to not "fake learning", and review my course lines.
    Love your videos, keep it up! And/or find more success in your Chess career, whichever works better for you ;)

    Personally me being a newer player, I'd move the other bishop to C5 or D6. The idea is as the game goes on it's attacking the king when not in real danger Hell even doing G4 a block down threatens their bishop/queen if they move the knight.
    Hell as he points out it lets the knight retake or drive in when it would be a much more questionable move if the bishop with threatening real pieces if the knife moved.
