You don't fool me. That is Santa. It's very interesting what he said though. Using psychology not only by restricting ur opponent but being aware of the fact that it's hard to take care of a winning position. And "play it safe" was the solution. Or: "Stay cool" a good advice is to play a computer that has been tuned down a bit. Do it so many times that u feel comfortable in scoring positions So that when the heat is on - that is when u feel comfortable and awake bcoz in this moment it is most likely the worst moment for your opponent.

The only gifts he can give us is a Greek gift … and his wonderful books and games 😀

Love Yusupov!

18:56 I thought I found a good line with h5, but d5 is just beautiful. Even stockfish has a difficult time finding that move.

When good prophylactic moves are played against me, I feel like my opponent is inside my head, and I try to find ways to surprise them... it always ends bad. Lol

Even if you don't watch the whole video, go to about 15:00 to hear example of Tal' tactical awesomeness.

[@raylopez99]

Excellent video, note the 'double move' (double threat, dual purpose) move Rab1! @13:00 mark GM at work!

[@RaymondR127]

Excellent!
