    51:27 this is an tricky situation not just for chess players, but also for implementers of chess engines: if you program "legal" move generators (which look for possible king checks before a move is played) as opposed to "semi-legal" move generators (king check is only tested after a move is played which then has to be taken back), then this en passant possibility is usually overlooked as a forbidden move if rook or queen and opposing king are on the same fourth or fifth rank. King would be in check then and the side with the king is not allowed to take en passant.

    I love these thematic tournament videos! Very cool to see the different variations and key ideas out of a particular opening, especially ones I'm not too familiar with such as Jobava London. An interesting video idea would be a tournament like this but with only offbeat openings like a 1. b4 or 1. f4 tournament

    46:10 isn't Nd2 crushing here? White has to take with the rook, because if they take with the knight, you have Bc3 discovered check and winning the queen. When they take with the rook, you take back with the bishop, and the knight can no longer capture because it's pinned by your rook on b8.
