Honestly this is the best chess account I’ve come across. <br>I like the way you bring every theme and play against 500 to 2000 elo. Very instructive and you show a lot of passion as well. Keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼 scared to play against you though 😅

That game at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgwLSzwlZr0&t=1295">21:35</a> was crazy. I think that 800 used the engine/stream sniped, then tried some moves on his own and blew it instantly lol
