    That's gotta be the most pain inducing way I've heard "zugzwang" pronounced in my life

    Very Capablanca-esque endgame, just shows us how all the classic games of the past are super important for us to understand

    1:28 have you forgotten that black inserted a6 already? the berlin ship sailed on move 3, castling is a fine move here

      Yeah, this specific d3 and the subsequent c4 is a different variation. Still though, tbh I started spectating the game from that move and my first thought was "oh, anti-berlin" cuz I feel like I've seen hikaru play so many of those lol

    1:26 O-O is not the berlin lmao, that's the main line of the ruy

      Yeah you're right, it wasn't the Berlin when black played a6. 0-0 is the Berlin if black plays Nf6 there

    Great coverage. I especially like how you pointed out the pin so people who are watching this and tired, playing the video at faster speeds or lower level etc. could see why the knight could not move, it takes on some of the thinking you could see for yourself but you won't miss the reasoning no matter what.

    That e5 move to keep black in zugzwang was nasty

    Great game and video. It's not as often that you can get hype on rook endings, but exciting game! Thanks!

    I saw a game with 12 pawns on 4 files, both sides had pawn structure messed

    This is the sort of pawn structure I always end up with if I play against Stockfish. 🤣

    This is a good example of converting in the endgame by playing on both sides of the board, gaining space, restricting the opponents play, and not allowing counterplay.

    I’m not a big Hikaru fan but saying “takes captures takes captures” while covering one of his games seems like it must be a felony in at least 3 states and a misdemeanor in 24 others. Love the recap though keep em coming!

    White's plan here wasn't immediately obvious to me. Is it to play e6 since the f pawn is pinned?

    first thoughts seeing the starting position, it looks like a draw, but white has winning chances

    Why would black willing double the F pawns? Seems weird
