What's missing in this video is that Duda had only 2 minutes on the clock in a rapid game after Anish played Rac8. He spent 15 seconds, started laughing at the camera realizing he had forced mate in 11. It took him 15 seconds to calculate mate in 11 with rook and queen sacrifice, despite having moves like Rxc8 that were easily winning anyway O_O

[@williamrobert9898]

I have not seen something like this in a speed chess game since Tata Steel India 2019 when Magnus calculated a mate in 12 against Vishy, sometimes I get a bit over surprised that I start thinking maybe they did not calculate till the end but just tried to find the best move at every turn as they played

[@patrykapiezo1650]

[@williamrobert9898]

@@patrykapiezo1650 That's the thing, there were many cases in which Chess players sacrificed a lot of materiel for a mating attack just to realize that their calculation wasn't on point, that's why I said maybe they take it one move at a time or maybe it just comes in their mind while the attack already started, don't get me wrong I'm not saying Duda didn't see it, my comment is coming from a healthy spot, these guys are definitely capable of calculating this deep

You’re the most entertaining chess content creator. Your humor mixed with chess knowledge is unmatched.

[@flatbread42]

Hey for everyone considering an e4 or d4 course allow me to regale you with the differences. e4 is much more in depth and specific, it will be more powerful imo and catch people less prepared than d4. However, there are not many overlapping ideas. Every move can make a whole different variation and it takes a lot of studying. d4 is much easier to learn and throughout Levy says “if you forget and just get your set up you’ll have an okay position.” It’s a lot more idea based and still has some cool traps but is less aggressive feeling. Both are good, but if you’re busy I’d recommend d4, if you’re more dedicated, I’d recommend e4, or you can choose which ever one you’ve learned from videos to get a deeper understanding.

[@tjitsekoster9379]

It's good advice, but if you're looking for a relative easy to learn opening with E4, I suggest the Vienna. Yes, there are many different variations, but at the beginner level, many will fall for the Vienna gambit and the position kinda plays itself after that. You can still lose, but they will be quick games, so you will learn fast. Just my two cents. Also, the Queens Gambit has a lot of compliated variations also, and that's a D4 opening. For a solid D4 opening, just play the London.

[@flatbread42]

@@tjitsekoster9379 oh yeah, 100%, I’m just talking ab Levy’s courses. I tried e4 and it was just a lot given me being in school so I switched to his d4 course and am having success with it. But yeah, the Vienna is pretty cool.
