Actually Levy got the evaluation perfectly right. He said "Yes, it was a probably a draw" to which she replied " _The moment I said it was a draw,_ it was a draw!", but Gotham disagreed with this last added detail. And that is true: it was a draw with perfect play at 10:18, but it was not a draw anymore at 10:42 when she said "This is a draw, Levy". She made a mistake with Kd5 at 10:21, and after that Levy was winning as it is possible to see from the eval bar.

You got me there man😂

I played against the opening today and lost. You created a good opening Anna.

as a beginner I use it a lot on bullet games and it worked so far(mostly putting bishops on d2-e2 and then castling). Went from around 500 to 850 in about 2 months. Usually not because I play much better than the opponents, but because they find unknown moves so they spend time trying to reply them (sometimes they blunder free bishop on c5 or f5 as knights wouldnt be a threat with other openings)and I can move faster as after a few games, I can reply safely most of their usual responses. If I get time advantage then it's all about keeping a fast and solid defense, and not blundering free pieces, while searching good attacking points. If time is similar, then i try to be agresive at middle or endgame, but usually positions are not much unbalanced at these ratings if it hasn't been a major blunder, and I use to struggle a bit at later stages, but not because of the cow itself

Kind of reminds me of that opening where the king goes forward but here it's the knights blocking everything multiple times over because why not right
