yeah I watched that video and it ended costing me a game the other day

Crafty has me +0,23 and after e4 which is the move I would have made it has me at +0.00.

If you had ever started operating on the kingside, starting with f4, I would have been a lot more nervous.

This game really shined a light for me on how badly I'd been playing d4 games. I've played them much better since this one.

Also what does drifting mean? I googled it and it said something about cars

Slowly moving with the current, continuously but aimlessly...like a piece of wood in the ocean.

This thread after I exchanged the knight reminded me of the NFL threads where the coach punts on 4& 1 in the opposition 45

Basically making moves without any plan in mind.
It seemed very much like a lot of the time you may have had some vague idea in mind from previous moves, but as soon as Kyle made a move, your thoughts immediately jumped to 'how do I respond to this move/how do I stop this threat' and forgot the previous thoughts about the position.
