    thank you for your content! its something I look forward to. I quite like this video as well... watching you analyse a game played by someone with the help of an engine is one thing, but to watch and listen to the thought process whilst playing is also great to learn from and to think along. Please do keep making videos like these as well!!!

    Antonio I was beginning to wonder if you ever lost any of these Lichess games. Difficult moment to assess when one is no longer able to go for the win and it's time to be holding the draw in hand. He had nice pieces for his purposes. Bring on the next one.

    I very much enjoy watching your rapid games. Your commentary is excellent and so is your strategy. Though I advocate for your wins, I think there is value in showing where your opponent made better moves than you did. We can only really learn from our losses, and such is the advantage of playing higher rated opponents. 🙂

  • @chriswright3179
    @chriswright3179 Місяць тому

    Antonio, in poker they talk about 'tells', body language that gives insight into someone's innermost thoughts. What is the significance of your frequently used 'very interesting'. Perhaps something like "this is more complex than i thought" or "I am still confident of my position but i am relying on instinct rather than analysis". Great video as always.

    It seems to me that Antonio played too aggressively within a drawn position, which nearly always results in turning your draw into a loss unless your opponent is inferior.

    You should play h4 while queen was on g file.Anyway,really good game.You got too cosy when you had more space and try to bully the rook with bishop.After Bf4 you lose tempo and direction of the game and he counter you.But,really good start and buildup.Next time will be better.Thumbs up.

    was playing chess in a beantown bar last night when they announced Vance as Trump's running mate. funny thing nobody looked up. i'm iffy on whether the bar's reaction would have been the same if Carlsen, Yasser, Agadmator or a Botez had popped up on the screen.

    I was about to say. I couldn't understand why he didn't just swap queens and save his bishop, but clearly it was a blunder. Though the game at that point would not have been favoring Antonio as material was even and black controlled a lot more squares. Probably lost no matter what.
