    A sweet victory. He was confident all the way until he realized that you were indeed winning after your queens were off the board. I take it that in younger days he was the stronger player who would banter to get in your head. But you got him this game. Seems he really didn't want to lose as he asked twice for a draw. Glad that you declined the draw - childhood friend or not.

    He played well for someone who was hardly focused on the game.
    if anyone curious, 10:30 winning move for black is Nxg4.
    If pawn takes, Rg3+ eventually wins white's queen.
    if Rxe3, Nxe3 and that's also leading to a decisive attack on the king.

    • @salmarwow

    I love how obvious their old friendship is throughout this. I think the people complaining are only seeing things at surface level and can't directly relate from their own experiences. Even as an adult with a professor career, if I meet some childhood friends, I will forever be young and open around them. It never changes with certain friends no matter how life passes.

      There are many people, particularly those who have spent much of their waking hours on-line, not engaging in real life interpersonal relationships, for whom such friendships are not understood. In fact it seems that for many observers posting here, an interaction like the one in this video is viewed as somehow negative and even nefarious. I pity such people. They seem to go through life in a kind of terror.

I bet he'll get better as he gets older. He still has that young, hyper bro energy, especially probably being around Anna and knowing her emerging fame.
