Backstory:
Hafu (www.twitch.tv/itshafu) is a Hearthstone Legend and participant in the ongoing PogChamps Chess tournament on chess.com. In the first day of the event, she displayed impressive preparation against David Pakman's Stafford Gambit. She played one of the strongest variations which Stockfish Recommends. In this video, I encounter the same variation and try to take it down! Analyze the game here: lichess.org/l5Bd2YRZ
