[@TheArizus]

That opening was actually quite impressive. It was like 1400 opening and then the rest was 200

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

Aside from castling short against London which usually results in quick checkmate.

[@TheArizus]

I wouldn't say that you shouldn't castle as black against the London (unless there's a greek gift) but you should be cautious especially with something like h4, h5. However its definitely defendable at a high level. Levy talked about d6, e5 but i thought more direct was Qg6 (prophylactically) defending anything with h7 or h6. As long as you realise there is danger a few moved in advanced its good. Obviously thats not expected at 600 level.

[@kbk239]

​@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 Long castle in London's is definitely not scary. A rook on c8 and black always have sufficient counterplay.

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

It's so funny watching the king miraculously avoid 16 mate in ones and end up on the opposite side of the board with a winning position

[@johnwalker1058]

Damn, this game was wild as hell. At first I couldn't believe that White was 600 Elo because of how they played in the opening, and then I couldn't believe they were 600 Elo because of how they played in the late middlegame and early endgame for the opposite reason. It was like he used up all his mental energy through the opening and then just ran out of gas. My theory, I feel like sometimes, the challenge of converting a winning position into a won game can sometimes come from bouncing back after a missed opportunity. White couldn't figure out how to finish things off and seal the deal, leading to them getting more frustrated and then perhaps beating themselves up for not being able to figure out the conversion. Then when they start slipping towards a losing position, they start playing despair chess because of how hopeless they may feel about the game having their position fall so much in quality or about their own ability in failing to deliver a win from an overwhelming advantage. Once that happens and the hopelessness or frustration sets in, their thinking is completely emotionally compromised, their focus and ability to reason or calculate goes out the window and they implode on themselves like the core of a dying star turning into a black hole.

Some good moves for 600 elo players, the Dutch defense, then the rook sacrifice. They're going to learn the endgames and evolve into much better players. Also the more you play, the fewer blunders you make.

[@Zacam]

1:44 theres a checkmate in 1, once the pawn takes, move the queen to h5 3:11 bishop to c4 check, pray for king movement, pawn h5 (sack it), rook h5 (also sack), queen h5 13:24 bishop b1 check, forcing the king out of the position. 15:16 Queen e2 take, then king e2 take, dropping the queen but taking away the some of the other real threats, the rooks. Edit: imma just point out a whole lot of moves that could of make the game a whole lot faster (from white)

[@Vdovkin]

1:44 Qh5 - black just goes g6

[@Zacam]

what whould g6 do to queen h5?

[@Vdovkin]

Defending from the check and attacking the queen h5 and the pawn g6 itself is defended by the pawn h7, so it’s just not a checkmate in 1, it’s not a checkmate at all
