[nimasli1]

Really nice Video.

I m sure there will be a lot more coming

[jmcqueen3]

Why not bishop to d5 at 8:12?

[TONYDARMA]

Thanks very instructive.

[Electromusicaus]

Good game & commentary! English opening & monster bishop plus time to think about the game and the best moves with correspondence chess makes a big difference!

[onwukachidi]

Very good, i ve learnt a lot from it.

[DrLasker1]

nice instruction and cool game. Played like fischer!

[intindse]

pretty good game

[pegodk]

Good video

[belito311]

like ballet

[253able]

great play

[croopaN]

i think english opening is weak opening for white :|

[philnoll]

Any justification for that claim?

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@croopaN - English Opening weak? Chess World Champions Gary Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Bobby Fischer, etc., don't agree. :)

[gtamateur]

at 5:05 when he play b6 did c6 was more stronger due thaqt block the bishop from coming on the big diaginal?

[chiruzbg]

great play ! very dominant during the whole match and a well deserved win . congrats !

[macewindu210]

This is very instructive. I've always wondered how to coordinate 2 fianchettoed bishops in an attack, and thanks to Fat and Mad, I understand.

[zw0ecool]

black could have defended at the end by moving his king to H7 that would of given white a little trouble

[Henrique676]

not really, because if Kh7, then white plays f6, with discovered check and wins the black knight

[Henrique676]

And if you are saying Kh7 after Ng8, then white can move the f pawn again and its really a lost position for black

[DanielLovesPatois]

really nice. I especially enjoyed the Rd6 finish-off, and the whole game actually taught me something about the value of patience in attack.

[jumpandimout]

exciting game and instructive commentary,brilliant work, looks like kingscrusher has some competition !!

[Wilson655]

what chess game is that?

[drschwartz1988]

I think you didn't notice the rook on e8 james..!!!!!!!! awesome video...

[jamesjddong]

lol sorry, im such an idiot

[jamesjddong]

very nice video and good explanation. Just wondering , i probably missed something but how come at 8:13 you didn't play bishop d5 and pin the queen? if he blocked with the bishop then you could take with the rook. Thanks

[david99lee]

I enjoyed your video very much. Very instructive. I hope you do some more. Could you tell me the ratings for Fat & Mad and Nekthen. I would appreciate it very much.

Dave

[Bdrpr]

I really liked the video and more so that you showed some variations of what could have happened. Keep up the good work

[stnbraten]

WIHUU!! "monster bishop" yeah! i'm a chess amateur and rather should be learning for my exam tomorrow but your videos just pin me to my chair. seriously, i feel like a pinned knight! its both thrilling and scaring :D

thanks for your vid!!

[jbragadeesh]

Cool video!!

[samirhossain]

flawless commentary

[Vonzi0000]

great game thanks for uploading

[SvenTwelve]

super video. thanks.

[DavidGYoung]

Impressive. Thanks.

[FatAndMad]

Thank you all for your kind comments - they are very encouraging!

I will post more as soon as I can, my 8 week old son allowing... I'll post videos in the letsplaychess format here on kingscrusher's channel and others, more individual ones on my own. Until then remember: "Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy" (Tarrasch).

[supermobilemadness]

thanks for uploading!

[Neueregel]

thx for the game commenting keep it up lad!

[troster]

good video, great to see more ppl doing this

keep em comin !

[Everincon]

great game and excellent commentating.

[firedwired]

this is absolutely brilliant, you explain each move so beautifully. I liked your explanation of whites moves to strengthen the position, waiting for black to blunder. I have a tendency to rush attacks, i'll be bearing this in mind! more please :)

[blindedsun]

Awesome video. Instructive for people that need to work on their midgame. I'd like to see more midgame videos like this one.

[gologram]

good play,I had pleasant time while listening to you.

[marticus42]

Wonderful game, a little excitement in your voice wouldn't hurt =D

Overall, 4/5 stars. well done.

[phantomofthedrivein]

Dudely Moore would be a great guest, according to rypka

[GreatDane47]

Thanks for the guest, kingscrusher! I hope he starts making videos I can subscribe to, as well. But don't even THINK about stopping making yours!! :)

[taipan342]

awsome video and great commentry, thanks for posting it!

[edmalikin]

Thanks you for your video.

[FlorianTB]

Excellent commentating.

Loved the way you explained your thought process for each move and how you explained how you developed a game plan that suits your position, both opening up the position but restricting counterplay.

Very nicely done

[xtreme1002003]

I agree 100%.

[dtsdyloot]

Great - Love the guest commentator!

The only thing I missed greatly was "Overview and Summary" - but it was made up for by the quite thorough and easily followed plans -

Also - "Guess What White Would Do" is always great.

Thanks a million --

[fallinus06]

cool ... I enjoyed the game

[mrbensdonair]

thoroughly enjoyable ,thank you for sharing

[grumour]

Nice video. I think retreating the dark bishop back to b2 instead of letting him swap was a key move. I usually find having both bishops at your disposal very powerful, especially against dutch defense

[Carabin33fr]

Nice clear explanations! Thanks for sharing!

[olimpicsa]

I was thinking to move g4 at the moment you said when i was younger :)))

Re2 was a very patient move @8:14

[19374628]

Nice job

[furrer08]

good job!

[bicyclethief]

Great guest commentating. Come back anytime!

[Pflueger76]

Very well played FaM!

[macnolds]

fantastic video. a nice introduction by

your friend. his victory seemed effortless.

[pbbdmedia]

Kudos! KC is a tough act to follow, and you did an admirable job. Good explanation- I look forward to more.

[eduardosilveira666]

Nice game indeed, the monster dark square bishop of white was just too strong! He should really had took it with 11...Nxc3

Thanks for the video!

[mattdolan]

great job
