Interesting what you said the other day about when playing higher rated players we don’t expect them to make mistakes and, therefore, don’t look for them.
Was about to post this exact comment. I have never watched this channel before, but the algorithm saw fit to offer it to me. Honestly, I found myself extremely frustrated with the misses, but it's probably pretty good insight for me considering our comparable elo.
20:33 NxB KxN Nxp+followed by nxR and your pawns win the endgame. The only thing suspicious about this game was your play. But the first game was fun. thanks for the upload Ben.
@ thats hilarious, hey you’re great at chess and well read, aren’t you full of surprises, anyway love your videos, hope you keep em coming, cheers from México
at 11:47 I think you had Qxe6+, winning his queen and maybe bishop afterwards
Aaagh, of course, quite right. Well spotted. I even stared at that position for a while.
@@ChessBootCampI only spotted it bc of your pawn fork idea and my learning that if there’s no pawn on f7 the e pawn hangs a lot in my games

I was hoping and thought you'd see it!

Cheers, good example.
I’m glad you’re back on the TH-cam grind bennykins
I’m happy to be back.
Missed a threat of a royal fork hunty
That would be typical.
Ben, I missed the little soldier sticking out at the end of the presentation of the video, that was hilarious!!..Consider to put it back please.
He hasn’t gone away 😃
Hanging Queens 6:59? Ask the French… oh no my bad, they behead them… sorry bad joke lmao
To quote Pop Larkin talking about how they chopped Marie Antoinette’s head off, “Well that’s no way to treat a queen… even a French one!”

I totally would have blundered my queen in that first game. Speaking of, I think you had checkmate. At 7:18, would Rxg7+, Kh8, Rxh6# work?
Yes mate, well spotted, that looks absolutely crushing!
20:21 Bxe7, Kxg7, Nxe6+ fork ?
nvm, it was in the review later :D
Yeah cheers.
