Strong aggressive games against solid but not phenomenal players is one of my favorite video types from you.

You would love my style then lol. I'm always hyper-aggressive, even against players my own level. But when I play against lower-rated players (i.e. what you call "solid but not phenomenal players" - so 1800 to 2200 on Lichess), I usually end up absolutely annihilating them lol. This is my favourite rating range to play against since any lower than that and I just win by capitalising on simple blunders, and any higher than that and the games tend to be a lot closer. So 1800 to 2200 is the goldilocks zone for total destruction lol.

It feels coming from a blitz/rapid background that you favor lines that are aggressive naturally. I’m always too afraid to take these kinds of lines and fear I am opening up a multi move blunder or hang a piece.

Question about the position at 31:00 -- Is Bishop A4 a playable move here? Reasoning: B Pawn can't block check (they will be captured with check). Also, looks like a scary fork but isn't which is fun. Queen can block but will be captured. If knight blocks queen is captured. If king moves it loses castling rights. Looks like black's best move it to block with the C pawn. Possible interesting follow-up If white plays knight takes on D6 and if queen takes, white plays bishop takes on F6 and after black recaptures with pawn white takes the pawn with the rook, pinning black's bishop.
