Farzy is back !!! Hype for the streams and videos ! Happy to hear you travelled home safely ! What a funny game to get back !! 19:43 yep this is the catalan opening exactly ! c5 is not bad ! Be7, Bb4+ and dxc4 are all also playable. It's similar to the Tarash indeed, but g3 id played. Not too sure of the nuances but it's not exactly the Tarash because of that. 20:16 Here white should play Ne5 with 3 attackers on your c6 knight ! (Or castle keeping the threats for later), or dxc5 to avoid losing that pawn. 20:18 after Qxc4 you win a pawn as you noticed !! 20:25 here Be7 and then castle is way simpler ! e5 looks nice but allows Ng5 and some complications ! Also after Be7, e5 is possible because of Ng5 then you can castle !! That pawn on e6 blocks the diagonal for his queen ! 22:28 Be6 was great ! Nd7 would have just blocked your bishop in for no reason. 22:34 Bd7 is not easy to play as you just moved that bishop. But Bd6 makes a lot more sense than Nd7 in my opinion. Just defend e5 while developing ! Still fine still -1 ! 22:59 Ng4 is such a fancy move ahaha. 23:10 I was about to comment on this ! f3 is not scary because of Bxd4+ . But h3 is way more scary (you missed it because you thought that the d1 rook was hanging but as you realised it's defended). So after h3 Qh5 dxc5 you have Bxh3 ! 24:28 here castle makes a lot of sense! It loses a pawn but with not much more problems then. Nxd5 looks like a great move with tempo but Bxc6 is a check.. 25:28 here it's very tricky for white ! They can take the rook ! But Only the 1st one, then sac the rook because it's lost anyways (rook and queen are attacked) and then come back with the queen to defend. That's VERY tough to find in my opinion, even tho it makes sense ! 27:19 Rd8 was a great move ! White is only better if they play Qd6 preventing you from castling, which was really obvious to me ! But ok they did not and you are better again !! 28:01 Qf5 or Kg7 (as played): getting out of the fork while keeping Bf3 ideas ! 28:53 you are just dominating here. White can't do anything 😅 28:55 Rd1 is just mate in 4 here, but everything is winning ! 29:14 GG !! What a crazy game ! 29:55 Happy Hollidays and Merry Christmas Farzy !
Trust me, I'm well aware that I'm not a very strong chess player 😅 the whole point of these videos is to practice and continue improving, if I seem confident it might just be the way I talk! I'm definitely not pretending to know anything I don't, I talk all the time about how I don't know much in the way of theory/openings.
