    That game against NewYearGirl at the 1 HR mark was a beautiful bit of creative, tactical, striving, discombobulating play. That's what chess should be about, and you pulled it off with aplomb. That exchange french before it definitely was indigestion-causing. I sort of had Kramnik-esque doubts floating in my noggin' at his perfect play... As always, you are above and beyond the best chess streaming personality by a country friggin' mile. Everyone else is lumpy porridge by comparison.

      I did not find that french game suspect at all, white had very easy moves mostly, even I catched most of them. When I played more I played some french with black and that... happens often at slightest mistake.

    Hi Simon , I don’t understand why you don’t play the exchange French with Bd6, Nc6, Qd7, 0-0-0.
    You have opposite castles most of the time and a good attack, that is normally a little bit quicker than the queen side pawn push against black.

    50:30 I believe it's Rg7! setting up a mating net with Ne6+ and Re7#
    If Re8 then Nh7#
    If Ke8, Ne6 anyways and Black can't escape the mating net.
    If Rc6, Nh7+ followed by c7+. If black plays Ke7 we have f8=Q+ and I'm sure that's mating somehow.

      Is he though? His biggest problem for what I've seen is he tends to blunder during time trouble - maybe he just isn't that suited to short time controls. Also the guy is in his 40s now and the reflexes might be going a little bit compared to all these young kids playing in TT who were born with a mouse in their hands.

    Again, against the boring exchange : try the set-up with nc6&ne7 + f6 + 0-0-0.
    It will allow you to attack with g5, h5, etc... Lots of fun!
