What a nice and exciting game! I was dying to see the analysis at the end! It's annoying to have your pieces surrounding an advanced king and yet find no obvious move to attack it and then suddenly all your attack disappears
Yeah at 13:00 I noticed it too. tbh I had to spend a whole minute just to double check that I wasn't missing anything but your comment confirmed it too.
I saw it as Well, I think bf4 only move for White to survive ke5 Check anyway bxe5 qxe5 and black solved all of His problems right? So it would have been good i guess
5:27 Here's an example of luck in chess. White plays 11.c4 to keep the pawn. Before that, Stjepan even comments that White is losing a pawn because he only thought 11.c3. Nonetheless, both players (and I as well) were mistaken in their evaluation of 11.c3. Black can't take the pawn. The reason is the following variation (engine analysis): 11. c3 Bxc3 12. Nxc3 Qxc3 13. Rc1 Qa5 14. Nb5! Nonetheless, this is very hard to see when you play 11.c3 but after the natural 12.Nxc3 and 13. Rc1, perhaps it would have been easier. And then 14...Be6 15.Nd6+ and White seems much better.
how much time do you train every day? i want to reach your level :D but the process is realy slow becuase i only play 2 -10 mint game and i analyze them fast.
Why wasn't 23. ...Na6 played? The knight also defends c5, has the opportunity to move to b4, doesn't block the bishop's path and allows the queen to move closer to the center on d7 on the next move without losing tempo from 24. Nd4.
Oh how I hate the fantasy. I've tried 3 e6 but seems too passive maybe? I got it from the gotham chess course. Where did you get the line from Stepjan? Cheers from Argentina
As a Fantasy player myself, NO ONE plays the main main line properly (I'm rated 1850). Learn it, and you will hold and likely WIN many games. There is a VERY rare sideline within the mainline which lays a trap: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3 dxe4 4. fxe4 e5 5. Nf3 Be6! and if Nxe5?! Qh4+! And if they play the solid 6. c3 just develop like in the mainline but with some traps if white plays on autopilot 6...Nd7 7. Bd3 Ngf6 8. O-O Bd6 9. Bg5?! h6! 10. Bh4?! g5! 11. Bg3 Nh5!? 12. Bxe5? Bxe5! 13. Nxe5 Nxe5! 14. dxe5 Nf4! with 15. Be2 Qb6+ to come and you have a serious attack due to the very diagonal the Fantasy weakens! Unless you enjoy the closed positions after e6, which is fine. You can transpose into a solid line of the french after 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3 e6 4. Nc3 Nf6! 5. e5 Nfd7 6. f4 c5! 7. Nf3 Nc6 8. Be3 Be7! (KEY MOVE, resisting the urge to play the classic Qb6 which is met with some nasty traps by white) 9. Qd2 a6! (KEY improvement). Black has zero problems and might enjoy a queenside majority or attack.
take a look into one of the old main lines with 3....dxe4 4.fxe4 e5 reasonably forced moves (or at least only 2-3 options each move for white) sharp, open and balanced positions
There is no way ...Qxb2 is correct practically. For one pawn, you only move your queen and bishop for gazillion moves while White develops somewhat inharmoniously. I don't know - taking that pawn just feels wrong.
@@ethansmusic9898 The engine says 8...Qxb2 is -0.4 and 8...Nf6 is -0.1. In a practica game if I could calculate the next few moves after ...Qxb2, I would prefer 8...Nf6, though it's objectively worse.
Ok so 10 minutes in and this is obviously just a lichess rapid game. It literally means nothing for classical game training. You've spent around a minute,moves the same 2 pieces a lot haven't castled or developed and almost had your queen trapped!! Is this what you'd do in a 1:30 hour game?No,but you're doing it now because you don't take it as seriously.
you blundered your rook in the endgame at one point

At 49:15 Move 61 you blunder Nf6+ :/
Nd7 was a pretty queen sac tactic that sets up mate that was missed in the game, I was screaming for it! If you see a good move look for a better one

What a rollercoaster!
12:47 Nd7 instead of Qd6 would be so nice
Hey your mic has a constant static sound, you could check if you can maybe put a voice threshold on your mic so your mic only activates when you talk.
Agree
At 13:19 was there a brilliant with Nd7 sacrificing the queen to go for Ne5#?
Suprised me that you didnt even calculate at 11th move after 11...Nf6 12. Bc1 Nxe4+. Seems to me it couldve worked
Question: dont you want to become a e4 player? It would be interesting seeing you play a Ruy López
Nd7 sacrificing your queen and threatening mate on e5 12:59

I wish you tried playing the classical dutch because it is really aggressive and can lead to fun positions
Dutch is trash
I definitely play the fantasy as white, it's also the sharpest opening in my repertoire
While watching video, I wanted to see why you didn't go for knight trap.
Oh how I hate the fantasy. I've tried 3 e6 but seems too passive maybe? I got it from the gotham chess course. Where did you get the line from Stepjan? Cheers from Argentina
Schandorff has some nice improvements in the e6 line in his Chessable course.
@KeepChessSimple just bought the reti yesterday...will have to stick to gotham chess for now.. but I feel like playing a french.

@@danhayes1306 that's how you play it?
After 42. Nc7 his knight was definitely trapped with Kd6, Ra2 ... Don't forget to look for ways to trap a stranded knight!
Your opponent drew on move 100
There is no way ...Qxb2 is correct practically. For one pawn, you only move your queen and bishop for gazillion moves while White develops somewhat inharmoniously. I don't know - taking that pawn just feels wrong.
The line is pretty much forced up to 11.c4. whites king is weak and blacks queen is not seriously in danger. Id say its a matter of taste
