God Gotham be scarin me with these titles

[@teohahs9464]

27:50, the thing Gotham missed is increment and berserking on lichess, if you're playing some one way stronger than you but you have 5+2, and they only have 2.5+0 cause they berserked, it evens the playing field a lot more than you expect, I beat an NM 800 points better than me in a lichess tourney because I had 2+1 and he only had 1+0, and my blitz is stronger than my bullet, and if you can't get a good attack going while berserking things can go sideways really quickly

As a software engineer, these kinds of glitches can be down to a line of code, a bug in an OS update that then affects the application infrastructure, .NET updates that have unexpected knock on effects, or even pushes that close security flaws. 9 times out of 10, sweeping changes like this are bugs that aren't intended, but BUG or NOT, the correct user action is to report this and don't assume that the devs know. Because a lot of the manifest bugs won't show to a dev unless they have a robust testing schedule, so they usually show to users first.

28:00 I never would have guessed that black was a grand master playing a teaching game. But it did seem weird, kind of like black was trying to tone back his moves to match the level of the other player. The opening went so perfect for black, that it was only after that he started to make mistakes to see if the student could take advantage. I still am not nearly good enough to guess that was going on. Teaching games are hard to pick up on at that level.
