    Imagine being 2300 playing Magnus and he goes nuts like this in the opening. Anyone else, any peer, you'd have the confidence to attack and destroy. But it's Mongoose Carapace and you just flap around in fear and distress.

      Imagine an alternate scenario where he was playing under a different account and you thought you were playing agains that Anyone Else. What happened next would have little to do with the confidence you proceeded with.

    I think black played quite well most of this game, although perhaps she was a little slow, so she blundered in the end. At the end the position became so complicated you need at least a few minutes to calculate all the lines properly.

    It is called the boomerang opening by Carlsens team (since the pawn is thrown out to the side but comes back to haunt the opponent in the end game - just as a boomerang comes back for the "kill" after throwing it to the side). A plow would be something like an inverted V-shape. You are probably thinking (since to are showing the B-roll video) of a blade? Plows and blades are totally different.

    I play a variation in 3 min 1000 rated where I push h4, h5, and if they push kings pawn in response I go d4 and premove c3 nxc3 with ideas of bf4 similar to a London line. Black tends to overplay into the pawn on the right allowing me to castle queenside, trade off the dark bishop, and generally be just hard to attack

    I don’t like chess. It seems like an entirely deterministic game. Am I wrong? I genuinely would love to be wrong because it would mean that I could just develop my skills more. But as far as I can tell, chess basically punishes any single mistake and negates any opportunity for redemption, save for the opponent making an equally foolish mistake, which doesn’t really satisfy the problem
