In this video, I share my 6th round chess game against GM Shardul Gagare (2460) from the 2023 Qatar Masters Chess Tournament. The game featured an offbeat and highly dynamic line in a variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined and a crazy middlegame sacrifice.

Eric has the knack of playing a perfectly normal opening, then ending up 5 moves later with total chaos on the board!?

I'm so sad that Eric didn't immediately show the "sacrifice the rook" clip after saying he wasn't going to show the "sacrifice the rook" clip. I would have cried laughing

@theodorschiel9678 8 ай бұрын

great game again and i love the way you present your games, checking the engine moves afterwards so we get the best impression of your very own thoughts after the game! Question though: What happens in the final position if you block with your queen on d8 instead of repeating the position? I reckon its obvious for many of you, but if the queens were traded it would be great for black, no? and if not queen trade, what would happen?

Interesting - tho I've always been chary about playing ...h6 in the QGD bc always I get in trouble on g6 but you're much better than I am and prolly don't need to worry about that so much. On another note, I was once looking at game between Alekhine and Capablanca in what has I guess become canonical. Of course at that time most of it was a mystery to me, until suddenly I understood Capa was building a fortress on the the queenside, after which the draw with black was an easy game. It was the first time ever I understood a WC game.
