Regarding the ratings they’d have been conversions from English grades I guess. I’ve not even seen that video until now

just checking if this quoting is a bug

In the database, Qxb7 has a win / loss record of:

White wins: 25%

Draw: 21.4%

Black wins: 53.6%

There is no direct tactical refutation... Black will simply reply with Bd7 guarding the c6 Knight... but White will have to withdraw his Queen immediately, giving Black enough time to set up a dangerous mobile Pawn center.

Black has a nasty trick up his sleeve if white takes the pawn!

The absolute best case scenario for white, if he plays perfectly after capturing the pawn, is that he ends up in a position like the one blueemu shows above, where white is way behind in development and black has complete control over the centre of the board.

I'm guessing this was his online chess rating. If he was actually 2300 FIDE rating, then he would be immediately awarded the FM title for life.
