He is better at explaining what's going on in the game than anyone else. I think it's because has a deeper understanding than the vast majority(possibly all). He also isn't in love with himself like a lot of youtubers that post on the subject. That quality of his makes him a lot more pleasurable to watch.

[@fueledbyfood]

[@NerveEnd]

34:16 is he saying "fossil"? I've heard Hikaru use the same term, what is it exactly? Thanks!

[@nowtf]

It's like how a fossil is hidden under stone, the rook hides behind the bishop, ready for attack on Black's queen

[@joshualiu1586]

Hikaru uses "fossil attack" to mean "discovered attack"

[@stevendijorio2624]

It’s an xqc meme

[@AmirOstad]

Fossils are discovered so if a move in chess comes with a discovered attack, some cool kids call it a fossil.

[@bienangelo9161]

Maybe it's one of those lines only engines can follow.

[@dennisepp8224]

I tried to work it out and if he plays b3 then black plays Bxd3, white plays Qxd3, black plays Rxc3, and white can't take back cause the rook is protected, at least that's my thinking ^^

[@aaronwalderslade]

15:40 Re4 is a nice alternative to what you played. kind of a rook fork, winning the exchange, or winning the centre. 28:00 Again a rook move. Rook e2 defends the pawn.

[@nathantaylor3532]

On the second one the opponent responds by going QxE4, you're forced to respond by taking with the Rook and then you lose the pawn anyway.

[@andreaps93]

At 2:57 any reason he doesn’t play Nef7?

[@jacobmosovich]

24:30 white to e4 if black takes it you trade knights and gain a fork on the bishop and the rook. With midlane open for the queen and rook moving bishop onto the knights position.

[@suga2420]

At 15:44 I have a pretty interesting move sequence starting with Ne6. If fxe6, then Qxg4 threatening Bh6. If Bxe6 then Bxe6 and after fxe6 Qxg4 still threatening Bh6 and Qxg7#. Am I missing something or is this a viable option?

19:22 bishop D3 doesnt work either. Bishop takes D3 and if knight takes, Queen pins, but if Black Queen takes on D3, pawn takes knight and White Queen stays defended by the rook

I have a question, I don't know if you will see this but, when I start a pawn storm early, say with a4, engine says it's a mistake, then when I play something else next move, it says it's a blunder, correct move is a5...how is a5 correct when a4 was wrong.
