Hi Igor , yesterday I watched your masterclass... Today I had a tournament, I won 4/4 games at one stage .. defeated three rated player on the trott ... Eventually my score became 4/7 ... But still being an unrated player I won against a 1900 player for the first time in my life ...all thanx to your channel may be .. <br> But Still I lost 3 on the trott .. so I request you to make some videos on Endgame , how to blunder less , these kind of topic ... Your free contents are better than some of Premium content ... <br><br> With Regards <br>Dhrubajyoti Barik from India

At the .48 mark: if Bobby DID utilize the fishing pole trap, it should be called The Fischer Pole Trap😂! Very sharp n witty video. Perhaps your best one yet👍.
