Letsplaychess.com presents Blitz #164 vs. dovice (1923) - Afternoon of 8th June 2009

[Piratmission]

I think it's fine publishing it adds a bit of variation.

[drcloak]

His queen sac was certainly unsound lmao

[l3xrun]

him leaving his queen like that got a laugh out of me, i didn't even notice it right away, i was too busy calculating the tactics with the knight/bishop idea. tunnel vision right there. I don't have a problem with videos like this, personally.

[TeraHammer]

Its silly that his queen was lost, but the knight-bishop threat was interesting to follow.

[SRT4Void]

I think it is worth posting every once in a while to remind me to pay attention and not just take everything for granted! GJ KC!

[JohnnySkillish]

Nice response. I agree. You have to be focused no matter what your rating.

[Nola213]

Yea Bryson, I'm also glad to see this just doesn't happen to me only as well ;)

I think it was worth posting just for the knight double check mate idea you were thinking about, and it would have been a wonderful queen sac/win. Unfortunately, he sac'd HIS queen!

[mikramuddin]

I definitely agree with you & that it was a learning experience for me. I paused the video to figure out the check-mate without even taking on the opponent's Queen. KC, you are the best.

[shedless]

thanks for posting. also, I never thought about castling q-side on the exchange variation.

[jumpandimout]

Good game, KC. Thanks for posting

[RelaxoII]

this shows that you must not allow tactics against the kingscrusher :>

and I dont come here to learn :p

its like watching tennis with nice commentation so you can just close your eyes and enjoy unless its women playing

[kyleyoung1982]

Personally, I don't ONLY watch your videos to learn about chess. I learn about chess in a myriad of other ways. I watch your videos in large part for the entertainment value of your personality and enjoying having you walkthrough chess games while I'm sitting down having breakfast, and in cases such as these videos like this are just fine. Keep in mind that many people don't come only to learn.

[Attlanttizz]

Nothing to learn from this, best not post these.

[MrFedel]

Actually, you might learn not to get tunnel vision on 1 threat since 1 move can have multiple threats.

[dukeisaac]

just WOW....nice plan ...

[castubept]

All games bring something to learn. Thanks KC

[dmz17]

Since you asked, I do not think that those games need to be published. Most of your other blitz games, however, are very well worth watching.

[Beardybong]

it is amusing but instructive in the sense that white made that blunder worrying about a tactic KC had created with Nb4 :) still something to learn, and always enjoyable

[Ruxistico]

:) this is more amusing than instructive

[Darvinisti]

And you have so much material anyway. Maybe you should do a best of blitz playlist?

[Darvinisti]

I dont think you should post these crude blunders straight out of the opening. Not much chess in these. And you have so much material anyway. Maybe you should do a best of Blitz playlist?

[Darvinisti]

I dont think you should show these crude blunders almost straight out of the opening. Not much chess in there. This could have been an interesting game without the blunder. Nice position after Nb4

[xXxWilliExXx]

Heh, always amusing to see, but it would be nice to see some more of your "proper" games.

[SrbijaDavidp]

you should post this vids, there amusing

[AestheticNerd]

Even if it was a short video, I still enjoyed it. As a pretty weak player, it still offered some sound advice.

[bryson55]

I'm glad to see this doesn't happen to just me.
