Been on a GothamChess binge lately and this is one of your best reviewed games imo. Was extremely helpful for learning tactics about laying pawns for example, or when to sacrifice, but also commentary on basics like the opening which I've never bothered to learn haha. You're making me appreciate the openings and you're crucially pointing out when players deviate from the mainlines and offering explanations which is sooooo helpful. That's what was missing for me and why my chess growth earlier in life was stunted

[@TheBeardie69]

[@steven631764]

OK

[@kingtaj]

It's a great point that setting up a middle-board blockade as Hans did is a bit confusing. Stockfish (SF) thinks it's still losing. But stockfish's #1 talent is making passive improving positional moves. So basically SF says oh this position is still okay for black because you just make these really non-obvious positional defensive moves that a human can't see, and you're still safe. But when chess like this is played between humans, they don't evaluate 13 trillion positions per move as SF might. So in a realistic human game, the prediction should show far better outcomes for white (Hans). I think this is the next evolution for engines- to show a secondary analysis based on more human outcomes.

4:45 Levy that applies to both Italian AND Spanish games, not just Italian. Main difference is that with the Spanish the white bishop is usually on b3, c2, or a4. And apart from the Cordel Defense which is arguably a Spanish Giuoco Piano clone, Black's bishop is usually on e7 and often gets re-fianchetto'd after castling.
