I looked at this game and found Black's E pawn is the key for Black to win. Black blundered by NOT moving the E pawn forward. Eric, luck played a role in this win. It was very entertaining to watch. The key to this variation is to know when to cut and run with the material gained or the disruption made upon Black's ranks.

How about a video on how you set up your software, please. For example, after a game, I’d like to play the moves and see what “the engine” says about moves as the game progresses and gives an accuracy percentage. I’m sort of isolated chess-wise so it would be handy to have a knowledgable evaluation, even if it’s from a “machine”.
