As someone who's only ever played Chess casually like, once or twice a year...this is absolutely cool. There's such a difference in the way pro players think and see the board compared to just casually playing and never looking up things like lessons or classes or things like that. Chess is one of those games that I never thought people actually would take classes/lessons on or needed to think in unique ways. This honestly makes me more interested in chess because of the amount of depth I'm discovering it has! Also you earned a sub from me. You are entertaining!

Please, change the background to something that contrasts the black-and-white of the captured pieces and so forth, better. The streaked-black-and-white does not make it as visually clear as it would be with ... (for example, a medium green or orange {patterned} backdrop).
It's interesting how visibility affects performance. This week I changed the classic beige board to more vivid colour and immediately gained 50 rating after being stuck for a month. Maybe it's a good enough topic to make a video about?
Great stuff as always. I just wanted to mention that at 11:46, bishop B4 is not an option. Queen can take, and then if Rook takes Queen, Rook C8 is mate.

After Magnus violently sacing his queen against Giri, the only way Giri could handle the trauma was to violently sacrifice his own queen!
