4:05 Was e5 a better move? Because if dxe5 then Nxe5 forks the queen and bishop and f3 pawn Then when queen moves to defend the bishop, Nxf3+ would fork the king and bishop of g5 picking it up.
e5 doesn't threaten that much, so white now has time to play Qb5 or Bf5 and now suddenly white can have a bit of counterplay. If white takes on e5 he's lost, you're right, but he doesn't have to take.
Thanks so much for the upload! Amazing to see him explain his moves!
This is such educational content. Great stuff, thank you Magnus!
