I mean he doesn’t really need to edit much other than his face cam and the board into the the background he has along with some photos and names of the players, I’m sure he works hard for the videos but tbh that’s not a lot of work to do here other than analysis, which although very difficult and important, isn’t apart of the editing process so he can just pump out these videos in like 10 minutes which is very much appreciated on our part.

[@elasiduo108]

Great video Antonio. Dubov always plays very interesting chess, so it's always enjoyable to watch his crazy adventures in sacrifice-land. Regarding the ending, just a suggestion: considering that many times games don't reach the stalemate position I would have expected a brief summary of the position for beginners. So, I'll do it myself xD. In K+P vs K endgames, the critical squares are the three squares in front of the pawn, but one square more ahead. For example, if the pawn is located in e2, the critical squares are d4, e4, f4. If the King with the pawn reaches that position, he wins. If the pawnless King reaches this position, he draws. The drawing technique is just blocking the advancement of the enemy king, forcing the enemy king behind his pawn. Then, you move in those squares, until the pawn is pushed, and then, you just go backwards, to any of the critical squares (IMPORTANT EXCEPTION AHEAD), and keep repeating until the pawn reaches the 6th row. Then, once pushed backwards once again, you MUST RETREAT TO THE CRITICAL SQUARE IN FRONT OF THE PAWN. For example, if the pawn is located in e6, you MUST retreat to e8. If you retreat to d8 or f8, you will lose the game. But, if you retreat to the critical square in front of the pawn, the rest will be just a very simple draw.

e3, if Qd5 then you loose the Queen after Nf6+ bxf6 and Bxd5, if Qd3 then also you loose your Queen after Nf6+ bxf6 and Be4, if you play anything else than Qe5 then Nxd6+ just wins a piece, finally if Qe5 then just f4 and once again you have to choose one of the former options
