Much better

People who offer one move of an entire line deserve special criticism, imo

I used permanent marker by mistake 😬

I will learn from this

Ha!

A certain Russian might find this “interesting”

Exactly that - Kf6 keeps “M” on the board whereas pushing the pawn seemingly changes the eval to a sizeable plus 🤷🏽‍♂️

That’s great! I have it cued up for my commute home from work:

And what’s worse is that you no doubt played the move with such confidence…

Oof, that’s rough stuff!

A dog after my own heart! Welcome Bertie!

I mean, of course, but blunders notwithstanding it’s still my favourite

Red rag to a bull

It just destroys the Caro, it’s absolutely incredible. Even if black knows how to respond, the positions are so challenging for them you often win anyway!

What do you play against 3… c5? I’m a 4. dxc Nc6 5. a3 guy

Touché

There’s a lot of crossover in London vs KID setups involving white pushing g- and h- pawns, exchange sac’ing the h1 rook for the black knight and going for the neck, but they’re often premature and ultimately ineffectual… very threatening at the time though 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks! Some are calling me the Luka Doncic of chess, the way I collect those triple doubles… 🏀
