Thank you Nelson for these rating climb videos. These are particularly helpful for ameture player like me who does not want to and does not have time for remember/ing lines and practice those lines for hours. These videos are super helpful in learning how to think like a master.
21:20 can you show us instead of Bxd6 the crazy langheld gambit where you go Nf6 after dxc7 Qxc7 the idea is to come in via the g3 square instead of the h4 square (more awkward to defend as Nf3 doesnt stop the onslaught) i think it would be cool if you could show us how to play it against like a 1900+ from what i can see it can be a really potent weapon against the bird
19:50 to be fair, the whole point of the Halloween gambit is to be a piece down but still winning. It’s like stockfish is saying "I told you not to do it, but since you did, you have to live with the consequences"
