Nice, way to go KZbin!

[@mitchellfabian7694]

Thanks for sharing Kostya! This is my favorite video so far. Super instructive on the ideas of the Grünfeld

I was trying to follow those tricky middle game tactics watching real-time from home. I'll have to remember that e5 idea after Bxd4. Thanks for the explanations.

Nice commentary, really enjoyed it a lot! You packed very much into those twenty minutes-you talk fast, but not *too* fast, I think-without it being overwhelming. (Good game also. Moves like Qa7: and Qe7: topped it off for me.)

Kind of an off-topic question, but I recently watched your Opening Lab September 2020 video in which you advocated Kramnik's 8.Be3 after the exchanges on d5 and c3. You even indicated you might do a full video on that line. But you didn't play that here (which i think is the first time you faced the Grundfeld OTB since that opening lab video). So what's up with that? You mad at Kramnik's line?

[@IMKostyaKavutskiy]

Nope just wanted to try something else, still a fan of Be3!

I went to school with Gunnar. Great guy

[@parker_chess]

Nc4 to Qb6 thats so difficult for humans to find. But it looks so obvious after the engine shows it. Nice game Kostya! Recovering from an uncomfortable opening.
