  • @Patchumz
    @Patchumz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    TLDR of first game: Time management; PAWN BREAKS. No pawn breaks meant you had to sac valuable pieces instead of pawns to break into the enemy lines. Making that unbreakable line was a massive blunder when you had no time and the enemy had a way in when you screwed up eventually.
    Someone needs to (re)watch Levy's time management video.
