| Dec 17, 2019 at 4:03 | comment | added | yobamamama | Thanks. But Dreev is no slouch. I actually enjoy it when somebody tries some really oddball opening against me. I figure there is no book for them to have memorized and I can beat them more easily than if they had used a book line. | |
| Dec 16, 2019 at 23:26 | comment | added | yobamamama | But why would he play that move at all? Does taking it out of the book give him an edge at rapids play? Psychological play dissing the opponent from the gitgo? | |
| Dec 16, 2019 at 22:24 | comment | added | D M | Dreev was also ahead until he got into severe time trouble; he had less than 30 seconds left when he blundered the advantage, according to the automatic analysis. | |
