This is just perfect. I love how you say ‘well you might think about such and such moves, but then this happens, so I’m actually looking at this’ because that’s always exactly what I am considering as I watch lol! You’re a gift of a gem to the chess community. Thank you for this invaluable content. You offer it in such a pleasant and perfect manner for me.

Having researched human problem solving a great deal, a recurrent theme is that people are very hesitant to pursue solutions that temporarily take them away from their goal state. This can lead to bad and inefficient choices. An example is in soccer, a new player can be biased towards believing that crowding around the ball is the best strategy because it feels closer to the goal state (shooting and scoring), yet spacing players out is a far superior strategy. Similarly in chess, over the course of this speed run, especially when a mating attack is near, the tendency of the chat seems to be to choose moves that feel "closest" to a checkmate, even if they are suboptimal and overlook the opponent's resources.

Nd4 is such a classy move after which the opponent is totally demoralized and resigns. At 1800 lichess, people never make such moves. One of the most tough mental things is to lose against people who know zero opening theory (like playing 3. Bc4 in the Sicilian what is called "Bowdler attack"), or playing extremely primitive chess, but that primitive chess is good enough if you blunder something on the way.

Castling at 6:05 is a top GM move which I didn’t understand - why give up an important central pawn? I set up the position at 6:05 on an engine and 0-0 is the second best move losing the d6 pawn. The top suggestion is .. Ke7 but only a small difference in the evaluation even with the extra pawn. Ke7 is such an engine like move. No top chess player will do it.
