@Creology yes that's true I got spanked over and over playing the sodium attack on the app, then spanked him in 13 moves on the website playing the same opening!
Your opponent is an obvious cheater, yet still unbanned from this site. He uses 3 sec for each move in the end when he has no time to pretend that he thinks. He obviously uses engine assistance the whole game, but he plays some humanish mistakes on purpose to fool the anti cheat system (like Qxb2). I stopped playing rapid online because of too many cheaters not getting banned.
keep it up. even when you lose, its very instructional. Many content creators struggle to sty at 2000. you're trying to go to 2500! that's very bold. Just as a tip, you seem a pretty likeable guy. Let your personality come out more, maybe bring in personal things in your comments, or show us your inner feelings. Being a successful provided isn't just about educational. Sometimes, it's about the audience connecting with the creator. Regardless, even when you lose, I find it educational to see your level of play. The people you play are other candidates for 2500. You are all insanely good. That said when you are busy explaining things you will always be distracted, more than you would be in a regular game. In a sense, you will always be the underdog because the other player is probably not streaming like you (not distracted).
I like your videos as I’ve said before but since you switched to the 15+10 format I’ve found myself scrolling past them after seeing the duration. Tbh I’m a bit surprised by that myself but committing to watching a 35+ min video on a single game … and daily … is a lot more than the sub-25 min video from a 10+0 game. Having said that I agree that 15+10 is much better than 10+0 for educational purposes. I don’t think no increment works well for teaching/learning as at higher levels the games are often decided in the time scramble at the end which improving players will find hard to follow and the streamer can’t explain in real time. Maybe 10+5 would be a happy medium?
Thanks for your feedback I appriciate it. I know videos are a bit long, the fact that almost nobody plays 10+5 would mean I would get paired against 1800 rated players almost all the time... I think I must stay at 15+10 and maybe trim away parts when I am waiting for a move very long time.

At the end if king takes bishop you are up 2 pawns with winning position! If you mean what if king takes the pawn not the queen then there is Bd2 check winning the queen anyway!
To make it easy, you can see that there is a lonely white pawn on h5, the line on the right, that pawn after reaching the top of the board can become a queen, the black will try to take the pawn with the king before the pawn becomes a queen, but the black king is too far from that pawn, this means that white will get a new queen and mate black. These type of pawn are called passed pawn, because no piece can take them anymore
Good game mate, I was playing a little bit of hopechess in the middlegame with Bd6, Bc6 hoping you hang your queen but it was a good game all around otherwise. -Kruutteri
Thank you so much for this video! I'm trying to learn the Caro-Kann defense as my main black opening against 1.e4 After I finish watching your playlist do you have any suggestions of how I can keep progressing my Caro-Kann skill?
Firstly I am glad you are trying to improve! Important part of progression is to play a lot of games and to get known with the ideas! I am sure you will be a Caro-Kann expert in few months!
Nice game. I liked some of your ideas and your commentary is interesting. I know it’s important not to give your opponent too big a time advantage with no increment but I felt you nicely illustrated the benefits of using your time early in the game to get a better position and convert it to a winning advantage. Once the position is clearly winning, a strong player can more easily convert it with relatively little time on the clock so personally I think what you did is the right way round as opposed to playing quickly at the start with a bigger risk of getting a worse position and then having to burn time later trying to turn it around.
Nice! Instead of 5...Nc6 a huge/critical variation is also 5...g6 where after 6. Qb3 , Black just gives up the d5 pawn for a long time with 6...Bg7 . I thought this would actually be more main/popular than Nc6. Also in reply to 5...Nc6 I expected 6.Bg5 (to avoid Bg4 entirely) where "awkward" 6...Be6 is not as awkward anymore and even supports Ne4 stuff! Anyway Caro is awesome glhf.
