Thanks for sharing, Kostya. It's always good to see this kind of game. Old Indian is a weird opening that the engine calls +1 for white, but it's not super clear to play.

I hate playing these types of positions. I get them fairly regularly whenever I go for a scotch or four knight scotch if black for some reason doesnt take the pawn. The engine always says +1 but practically they are annoying to play

[@IMKostyaKavutskiy]

Yeah they are tough but personally I like the space
