This was the first time I've seen Maurice actually lose a chess game and TWO in a row?! Woah! Nice! I love his commentaries he's been doing hosting so many important matches for so many years like Kaspaeov vs. Kramnik and tons of fun with Yaz and Jen!;I think Maurice is really my top favorite commentator because if he is there, it's always going to be fun and entertaining haha He's just AWESOME.
9:10 a classic theme in blitz of all skill levels. Player A moves away from danger WITH an attack of their own. Player B just thinks they’re moving away.
I was staring at the move Nb6 in the second game for ages - why has Nemo put her knight en prise like that? Such an obvious blunder that sent her eval bar plummeting... But then he didn't take it and then didn't take it again! I was trying for ages to work out the brilliant trap she'd set with Nb6 that Maurice must have noticed... until I looked away from the computer display and at the board, and saw that that move hadn't actually been played. It was Nb4, not Nb6.
