We are back with round 3 and why are we playing grandma dravid bro is 3000 on chess.com he hops
in the pony we are sad because we get no elephant no fun some boring ready life is the way according
to the tournament rules bro has six minutes and we have 18 minutes so a bit of a time advantage
but i don't think that really really matters because bro is too fast too good and he knows
we save on the pawn bring out the juicer maybe you want to hop in the pony and complete our
development we put the juicer in the center with some idea that he hops in we can be a bit of a
trading man he pokes the juicer out we don't care but not the kind of positions that i enjoy playing
and i hate this opening every single grandma even levy's coach arthur or something i forgot the name
plays the exact same opening and toasted us not a fan of this opening we have no idea how to deal
with these kind of positions but we'll put the rookie on the open c5 and try to get some kind
of c5 break the problem is we need to time that c5 break to perfection if we mistime it we'll just
get absolutely steamrolled so so far so good white has the space white has the advantage
he is cooking we burned like 30 seconds out of his clock i don't think nothing crazy but it is
what it is it's always a question should i take down the pony for the juicer or not or should i
just you know put the rook on the d8 and just chill we're trying to be cool but white is also
mr cool so a bit of a cooling problem bro takes it we take it back we don't believe in the juicer
advantage but that is a real thing hop it back poke the pony trying to take it double the pawns
damage structure for the first time in the game we are thinking do we let him take i don't think
he would have taken it so there was no need to go back but there's no no shame in going back
and now i'm considering is this the moment to get the c5 business if i can get the c5 business
the position will be equal and i would get it but mustard we timed it incorrectly there is a
tactical idea that gives white a huge advantage and the spidey sense of the grandma is tingling
he says that it is bad he is utilizing the time and the correct time to out calculate it and be
like oh this has to be bad if i figure it out i should be at least one pawn up if not more
man that's the problem they know way too much take on the pawn i thought i could just hop it
back and i'll probably chop it back with the pony and we're chilling but the problem is there's some
pinwin angle on the other side oh no we can't take with the queen pawn takes pawn disco on the queen
can't take with the rookie juicer goes to a3 and the pin win and we lose exchange oh we realized
we realized way too late but god to take with the queen we will lose one pawn and the position is
just crumbling it's crazy once we go back you can take another pawn the b7 pawn under fire the e6
pawn under fire everybody is under fire we're trying to put the fatty they're trying to win
the pawn a2 hoping for some counter play but this is one of those position with the juicer
look at the snipers juicy white diagonal red diagonal apparently it's black but the board
is red so it's a red diagonal takes takes and then take on the e6 pawn our king is weak our
pawn on b7 is weak we have one pawn down and just crying like a baby yeah we played a bit too fast
i guess because out of the 18 minutes we barely used two minutes so maybe on the c5 break we
should have thought a bit more yeah a big brain poof moment and this is actually just impossible
to come back yes he has only four minutes left on the clock but it's like bread and butter or
applying butter to bread it's kind of a business where you can just do it in your sleep or something
so another question for white is to take on b7 or go for some queen activity save the pawn a2
white is spoiled for choices there are probably 5 to 10 moves that win this position a bro does
not want to mess it up take on the pawn gain a free tempi poke the rook we save the rook but
now we lose control of the c5 so the queen can go some c for business technically a temporary
juicer sacrifice to win back the pawn on e6 and just say your king has no safety and we'll just
go in not sure if there was a better way for the rook to go maybe could have gone for c7 but even
that was looking dodgy man these tactics for white is just coming in from left right center oh the
queen went all the way to a6 poke the queen save the piece and poke the pawn on e6 even better
idea than i thought i was thinking and we're completely fried i can trade the queen and go
into this dumb dumb end game which looks depressing because we are two pawns down
but we decided not to trade the queen to have some hope but the position is so hopeless yeah you can
just take the pawn e6 and now you're three pawns up our king is getting fried you can even take
the pony and i mean or even the better way might be to just save the piece okay now we offer the
queen trade i guess it's too late should have taken him back when we had the chance yeah the
this is one of those games where somehow we just never showed up we are there but we are actually
not there we kind of want to hop the pony but then the rookie gets to seventh heaven and we
lose the piece so can't even hop all our pieces are blocked in there's no way for the rook to go
he's going to check us on c4 fold us like i can't even come up with any move that makes
any kind of sense the best move is to resign yeah but i can't find the best move so we find
some move but just check us out it's just a matter of time before we cry we go there
bro centralizes both the juicer we save the rook uh can take the pony in a minute but
no need to trade just simply activate the king push on the pawn and just make us suffer
it's pure suffer town we want to hop trying to trace something but no it's the end where's the
king going oh the king ain't going anywhere f6 eighth heaven for the rookie pony under fire but
the pony is stuck if you put it on the seventh heaven the rook can go to seventh heaven pin it
to win it it's an absolute slaughter absolute master class we never stood the chance i thought
we were old but we were not the gold we was we just got mold yeah some kind of saying yeah the
is problematic also there's check on d4 winning the piece on g7 so another problem yeah too many
problems uh do we resign right now because like not only we are three pawns down we're gonna be
pieced down and none of our pieces are creating any kind of counter play and there might be some
made somewhere we resign and bro wins it sad life
