    A group of men are huddled around the table, a stillness unlike any other pervading the air around them. Their eyes all focus on a map centred on the table with various different cities and markers depicted on it. None of them move, lest they break the intense focus they had built. They are the last defence.
    A mutter, barely audible, breaks the silence like a bullet to a window.

    13:31 watching from Barcelona, I've been challenged to play Stafford gambit from both sides so here I am getting to know it!!

    I like the idea of a c4 opening or g3 opening tournament since those seem to be some of the most even moves for white.

    8:40 why don't you play rock d4 to prevent rock h8 by doing rock to d8 on the next move ?

    48:58 in my head, they were probably thinking the same thing right around here… like in TopGun when both dudes said “damn this kid’s good” after a few maneuvers 🤔

    Eric should write a book titled "How to win on time with the Stafford Gambit".

    Stream: Have you ever played squash?
    Eric: I've eaten squash. Squash is a pumpkin-like vegetable related to maybe a sweet potato too. I don't recall playing the sport. The sport is far different from the food.

    Playing the Stafford as White is like being thrown a bag full of money while walking a tightrope across a pit full of crocodiles, and the crocodiles have guns

    18:35 Against a weak opponent, there is also the idea of Qe8 followed by "Oh no my Queen!" and "Mate!" ^^
