Congratulations to Gnel for his strong mental. He wasn’t an expert playing against an IM today he was the black pieces playing against the white pieces. Congratulations on your strong mental as well sharing and analyzing both your victories and defeats.
Thanks for this video Kostya. I was looking forward to it and hoping you wouldn't skip it because of the loss. I continue to struggle with my thought processes while playing and it helps to see how many options you look at for your opponent and how deep you look into them.
Your games and analysis are great to go over; thank you for all of your efforts. Each video is a top quality lesson. Hope your tournaments go well for you in 2022 and you make it out to St. Louis.
Took me a while to realize you were talking about Hübner. 😀 Well, in that game, he took the bishop as well and won the pawn on e4 a few moves after the knight exchange. Can't be that bad. 🤔
Tough way to lose. I’m very familiar with that feeling of losing focus after the game balance changes drastically. Looking forward to more videos as I try to get MY game in order after a 2 year hiatus.
