Fischer fought against the dragon 🐲, and the dragon fought back. ⚔️
But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found on the board for him.
Really fun game!
Comprehensive win.
The player with the black peices plays like a total beginner
3:55 – you didn't explain what was wrong with taking white knight with either pawn or bishop???
at the start of the video he sounded hype, but half way through he sounded tired.
i listened to :52 to 1:03 like 3 times big time goosebumps
Catastrophe is pronounced catastrophy 👌
Once again, it's 'cat-ass-tro-fee'. 4 syllables, and the end of the word rhymes with 'tree'.
Wow

That Puzzle was easy. 1. Rook d8+! QxR 2. QxB+ Qd4(Qf6) both not help. Next move#😋
The Sicilian Dragon is a mine-field littered with traps, one false move and you had it!

It's mate in 3.

Rd8+ … Qxd8
Qxc3+ … Qd4
Qxd4#
