It always astonishes me how chess players can hold a full on conversation while playing a match. And Arthur's great, would love to see him play Nemo sober once 😂
@@keramidasnicolas2079 Those guys played +30 000 games at a high level in their life so they see most of the board 5 times better then us who only have played 3 000 games. Their brain is wired to see a lot and very fast...
When they can hold their alcohol like this it is a real curse. It doesn't knock them into the ground enough right away to make them quit. Too tough for his own good.
I think taking the pawn on c4 at 3:44 was a bit of a mistake! That wasn't it! I would have advanced my d5 pawn to d4, that would have been it! Logically, he would have taken my d4 pawn with his e3 pawn. Then I would have taken his pawn with my rook, forcing his bishop back. Then I would have advanced my bishop to C6. I think that would have been the best way to go about it. I was kind of shocked when I saw you take that pawn, Nemsko! Annoying, indeed but you kind of fell into it. He likely would have went rook b2, then at that time you should have went with king to g7.
Her merch should be a shirt that says, “hey I’m going to flag you, watch your time”. If she wore that shirt, chess guys would still hopelessly lose the same way.
Russian school of chess, rule no. 1: "Don't disrepect your opponent!" To be drunken at the board is a giant disrespect... Congrats that you could be that friendly although.
Has anyone ever told you that your life story sounds like it could be the real-life 'Queen's Gambit'? Maybe you were Netflix's inspiration to make it into a TV series?
Admitting that you caused yourself to miss a good match with a courteous and respectful gentleman is a good start, but try to work on that need to announce your self-imposed limitations and expressing unsolicited judgment of such an obviously pleasant opponent. He was clearly good company, even when drunk.
