The reason b8 is good is because it's a fork. It forks the attacked pawn on b4, and the attacked pawn on e5. White simply can't defend both pawns. Either you take with two attackers on e5, unless he defends with queen to e3. But if he does that, then you take on b4, and when he recaptures, you take that pawn with check. (29:11 timestamp)

I see it now, yes, both pawns cannot both be defended. That makes sense!! Thanks!

23:30 i can’t believe white missed Rg1 here. the knight would be hanging and there’s a mate on g7 if it moves

I haven’t watch the whole caro game but a5 is the best move cuz even if the opponent goes b3, you can still axb and he can’t take back cuz it hang the rook. I meet alot of people in 3 digit play h5 in the QGA

A near win in your first 150 attack is not too bad! You'll get it next time.
