at 21:38 - wasn't ...Rh1 an option?

Brilliant idea to do these live 15 minute games, Matt. Ideas like this is why you have the best chess channel on youtube!

Is that a najdorf sicilian or has it transposed into a scheveningen with 6...e6??

Great game matt, Im not sure if you could had a favorable endgame after the forced trade of rooks you didnt considered , when he played 26. Rf1, you had 26...Rh8 pinning the rook which was defended by the bishop. After the trades, e4 was still unavailable for the knight.

I can actually learn something from these. Cheers. Hope to see more.

Greetings from Brazil. Thank you for the video! Guess the trade of two pieces for rook and pawn wasn´t really effective.

@leafsFTW123 Bahaha I am dumb, thanks, for some reason in my head it looked like Q - K - R so the queen would skewer the rook, wow :p

Excellent video Matt! I usually play 15 minute games anyway, so I find these extremely helpful. Please make more of them.
Could you have played 8...e5, attacking the knight on d4 and the pawn on g4?

@zblangley 8...e5 9.Nf5 and Black's position - with the hole on d5 - looks very weak.

who is the best in najdorf theory? lol. the only people who know all of that are active professional IM and GMs. there's too much of it for anyone else to know absolutely all of it. some people may know a lot, but they do not know all of it, there's just too much. you would have to spend an entire month or so with it, not doing anything else, to get it down real cold. and then constantly follow every top gm game with it tracking every little novelty in every line.

@pistraurder Polugaevsky was the best. Too bad he's not around anymore.

@IBOUGHTYAMOM Yeah, it is. I didn't have any meaningful preparation. I would have been ready for Bg5, Be3, a4, or Be2. Be2 is the move most played by White players who want to avoid sharp lines.
