[@darrenfleming7901]

What I love most about watching these young prodigees is they that seem to play with almost no preconceptions because most of them did not go through the traditional chess education that had been in place for so long. It gives a very instinctual playstyle with a level of creativity that I don't think previous gms ever had and also often makes them especially deadly in speed chess.

[@pedrorengel9603]

I tend to agree. Many bemoan that computers ruined chess, but I actually think they broke it wide open.

[@bigboy2217]

Virtually all the newest players are not good in spite of a tradition, but because of it. It’s easier now than every to have the tools and tutors required to excel at a young age, and that’s what these players are doing. Older games had strange “creative” open positions like this one very frequently too.

[@PrestonMoser]

I want to suggest that as you go through the moves, when you demonstrate moves that might have been made, change the colors of the board's squares to show that you are in speculation mode. I find it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate which are the actual moves and which are speculation. Changing the board square colors would solve that. Thank You for showing us so many great chess games!

[@DSSlocksmiths]

I'm maybe 1500, and I studied the board at the pause point for half an hour, and couldn't find the move for Black. Just incredible from Roebers.

[@DanielWalvin]

6:59 "And we finish this position with white being up a pawn. And it's a passed a-pawn. So this will be definitely advantageous for white." White is up two pawns, but down the exchange, having the bishop pair and a rook vs. two rooks and a bishop. And black also has a passed pawn, a c-pawn two squares from promoting - although I'm not sure if it's reasonable for black to try to defend it, with white's rook and king right near it; maybe with a rook on c8, and pushing it to c2 with the bishop protecting it.

[@antoniolorenzo5640]

Glad someone else saw that, thought I was going crazy for a second.

[@SamuelPearlman]

2 pawns, yes, but doubled F-pawns, so meh on that part.

[@DanielWalvin]

@@SamuelPearlman Although, they're not doubled right above each other. And the f6 one is doing a good job preventing Black's f7 pawn from moving, and the f2 one is protecting the g3 one. They also both look like they're not liable to be captured or threatened any time soon.

Apropos the David Bronstein quote above the board, since computers are nerveless they have an unfair advantage. So in order to give us humans equal chances against them, they should be made nervous.

I had the lazy idea of doubling up the rooks in the final position. That just gives black mate in 3 with Rhc7 Qf4+, Kh3 Qh6+, Bh4 Qxh4#. If you give the suggested check in the video white runs out of useful checks, has to sac to prevent promotion on the c file, black runs the a pawn down the board and uses the threat of it to probably collect white's bishop etc.
