Be6-Bf5-Be6-Bf5. A real MVP reminded me of Luka Modric running between the defensive lines causing trouble all the time. Thanks Josip.

Love the brain synapsis art. Cute moments with the phone going off. Usually this annoys me but because you see that first things come first, everybody should be like that. You gotta chess game to finish! Woot woot! 🥳 This was such a great game of giving up the exchange for so long and I liked that Q move from g4 to c4 near the end. Chess is so fascinating because its a game of constantly looking for the next weakness, and if one is everpresent, to maneuver 70% of the game around it. You can see the difference between ai chess and people chess that people often get distracted from the weakness and too often take their eyes off the king. Ai focus is supreme.

This kind of game played by Stockfish is literally beyond the reach of a human: Even we can understand the moves, but when you see the positioning of Stockfish's pieces and pawns prepared at long range to put his opponent in lack of good moves, it is beyond normal. Also the diversity that Stockfish can display in his games in only one opening is just mind blowing. But we love Stockfish and we learn a lot from his games. Thanks Jazarov.

That rook sack by Stockfish helped make Obsidians king exposed and vulnerable to attacks Seemed like Obsidian could not get its Rook in the game Stockfish on the attack slowly but surely taking advantage keeping Obsidian on the defensive yet not able to keep up Great Game thanks Jozarov

From wikipedia: Scheveningen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxeːvənɪŋə(n)]) is one of the eight districts of The Hague, Netherlands, as well as a subdistrict (wijk) of that city.

How do you way that in English? Maybe I'll Google it... ah, you swallow the first two syllables and then kind of fake it. "Scheveningen is a Dutch word that refers to a seaside resort and district in The Hague. To pronounce Scheveningen, you can break it into three syllables: skhey-vuh n-ing-uh n1. The first syllable sounds like "skay" with a slight "h" sound. The second syllable sounds like "vun" with a short "u" sound. The third syllable sounds like "ing" with a short "i" sound, followed by a schwa sound. You can also listen to the pronunciation of Scheveningen on online dictionaries.."

Glad I spotted Nf5, seems a normal Najdorf where black just went wrong

[@modolief]

Kasparov used to play the Sheveningen Sicilian; did he play this line?

[@vanelsta]

The Nf5/Nd5 sacrifice isn't a new method but the oldest trick in the book.
