    Okay, so he goes e5. Now a lot of people here would just lazily develop the knight to f3, but we actually have a move here that poses a lot of practical problems for black and is borderline winning for white. The move is Ke2, and do not worry I will explain this more thoroughly after the game. Now you might look at this position and say, 'isn't this weakening our king and blocking in our pieces?' And while that may be true, you guys need to start thinking long term. In the endgame, it will be a huge advantage to have our king activated in the center. Furthermore, black has no threats here, he is not going to checkmate us any time soon, the king is perfectly well defended on e2. Now he does have a nasty little defensive resource he can try here, let's see if he finds it. Wow, Ke7 he finds it. This guy is good. Now guys, I don't wanna hear any baseless accusations, we will check with an engine after the game. It's not unthinkable that a 1500 finds this move. No black has not equalized, we just need to play clinically to secure our advantage.

    I would love to see you do a speedrun at 3+0 - and part of the explanation after each game details some of your strategies in time-pressure, and why you made such moves! Obviously, you'll be talking less mid-game, but the talking will come after. You can explain what you are and are not calculating in such time controls, etc. I think this could be super cool, after seeing you play out the end of this game here.

    33:00 The consolidation isn't straightforward...to lesser trained minds. So many variations to wade through. So many that I'd be almost certain I was missing something. With the clock working against you, you just do the best you can and "send it." And hopefully come away with some value via an analysis afterwards. But hope isn't a factor here. This analysis is unequivocally valuable. Kudos.

    I am very surprised you said that on the 4...Bb4 variation, after 5.d5 White (you must have meant Black!) is slightly better. What I learnt after I fell in the same mistake (5.d5?) after some analysis of a game I lost against an over 2.400 IM OTB is that 5.d5 is at least a dubious move, because it closes the center and it gives Black what he wants, that is a good game with pawns and pieces play on the Kingside
