Its not far better. In fact rapids are way better. Its much easier for top level players to draw today than it was a decade ago, thanks to engines. Infact fisher random chess or chess 960 is my favourite because there is no opening theory. Its like writing a research paper with a novel idea.

Great video, though I just wanted to add that at 9:42, black could have also played Qxc1+ and after white captures the queen, black can play Ne2+ with a fork and end up being a piece up Your execution was also brilliant though, as it finished the job on the spot :)

And you are right, I saw it too but that’s not what was played it’s a “funline” how Agad says but he definitely missed it or he doesn’t, so when he saw it he said no let’s take rook instead😂😂 So yeah, you are right

[@kangkyifilion9265]

Soo I checked on stockfish, before I thought that it was drawish because white could take the bishop afterwards and take also the knight with a tempo on the Queen (to resume Bg2#, Kg1, Ne2#, KxBg2, NxQd4,NxNd4 and with that attacks the black queen) but the engine says that Bg2 is a terrible blunder from black perspective (from -2.9 to +2.8 in white favor). Indeed, after all these captures we mentioned white has 2 rooks for the queen, which is winning. (Also, I blundered my own explanation since the last NxNd4 can't happend due to the pin)

[@kangkyifilion9265]

@@МаркоНиколић-п4ь Oh yeah I just realize that white has 2 rooks for a knight so the all-in trading isn't favorable for blakc :/

[@atlasbailly5439]

You arent missing anything, other than that the position is still winning for white there. problem is that after Bg2+, Kg1, Ne2+, KxBg2, and NxQd4 the game would be a queen, bishop, and knight for black versus two rooks and two knights for white. This is completely winning for white even without the queen.
