I enjoyed you explaining the thought process with each move in a simple direct way which allows me to understand the game better and your approach! Most moves to me seem blank because I do not understand the purpose of them for I'm still a beginner, but this was so easy to digest. Great quality, keep it up!

​@@TheChessProfessor sir, if engine shows +1.00. does this mean white will definitely win if the players are of equal strength?

[@TheChessProfessor]

@@prakash_clt Depends on the position: a) +1 can mean 5 pawns white and 4 pawns black, which in a pawn endgame is usually a win, with more pieces on probably a draw b) there is a nice outpost for a piece, winning chances but most likely draw for humans c) random engine moves slowly force sub-optimal position, thus giving one side winning chances, for humans a draw d) ....100 other cases In this game after 27. a5 it was c) meaning there is no way a human wins, maybe gms but definitely not a 2000-rated player. +1 is not a decisive advantage, so usually position is still "equal".

He is all calculation based, he doesn't know about planing and also is playing reactive chess, whats good is that he considers his opponent moves
