In this video, I join the Blitz Chess Shield Arena on lichess.org and play a bunch of aggressive openings, traps, and gambits with the intention of winning quickly! This was streamed on November 7th 2018, just a few days before I flew to London to report at the World Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana.

It's like "obvious attacks everywhere" and it humbles me a lot as I know that for some dudes, with a way better level, I was that guy when we were playing. Anyway, great channel !

He would just take the pawn on b2, and if you capture on e5, he would eat on c2, checking, and after you move you king he would take your bishop on e5, or if you ate with knight, he would skip this last move and just take knight on c3. So black would be 2 pawns up. Im just 1600, so I dont know if there might be a way to play better in that position
