    He's only a year or two older than me (one of the two, I forget which), which makes him either 31 or 32. Unless he's got a family history of prostate cancer he's still got another 18 years before that becomes at all a likely issue. He was probably just not noticing that he had to go because he was hyper-focused on the game--ADD (or ADHD) style, then when it looked like he was going to win his brain interrupted him with "Hey by the way, you super gotta pee". I do that all the time. I'll finally beat a boss in Dark Souls or something after trying for an hour and then suddenly realize that my neck hurts, I'm starving, and I've apparently had to pee for at least half an hour.

    After Bxa2 at 26:02 you can push b3 and trap the bishop behind the pawns. Rc8, Kb2. You have to defend c2 or the knight to actually capture the bishop, but it blocks his bishop out of the game and his rook is tied to threatening c2. It's a fun pattern to look out for on Bxa2/Bxh2.

    That Caro-Kann position you had in the first game is super duper weird. It’s so unnatural to play the main line. So the “mainline” is actually to take his pawn, get taken by the knight, place your knight out for a trade, and then take with the... I think queens pawn? I forget which of the two, but that’s all book. Never would have figured that out on my own ._. Edit: looking at it now, I think it’s actually your g pawn you take with opening your rook. Maybe. LOL I dunno I need to go back and watch Levy’s course. I prefer when the opponent takes or does the advance variation 100%. It just feels better
