google thorn pawns and u get the site chessgames (dot)com, where the thorn pawn is explained and also named "fawn" pawn. Kingscrusher is also mentioned:
The noted youtube chess video annotator Tryfon Gavriel- known as Kingscrusher- calls them Thorn Pawns. However, Tryfon has a heavy English accent, so we thought he was saying Fawn Pawns.
Does anyone know where you can see the players doing their post-mortem? It might just be the game of the day but they actually go through their game on a big board and go through their thought processes.
You should write a book about your experiences programming for chessworld and making chess videos. Although your ELO may not be as high as superGMs, in America and certainly on the internet few chess players can say they werent influenced by you in some form. I wouldn't be alone in saying that you are a celebrity to me in the chess world.
Very good game, ably and amply expanded upon by KC. A very instructive game -- Aronian had a clear plan, executed it with great skill, and earned his full point. Naka parried well, but was on his heels after the Queen sac. Thanks KC!
"actually there's a force mate in ten...I wonder if you can spot it"....LOL...great game, your voice sounded a bit funny...dou you have a cold or was the mic the issue?...anyways, thanks a lot...cheers!
Although, having made that comment about a book - I thought that your youtube videos are actually far better and more immediately instructional than most chess books, so maybe no need after all!
@Callaz3 Doing chess videos is a terrible addiction - I don't think I would enjoy writing a book as much as doing Youtube videos. Please do consider becoming a full member of chessworld(dot)net if you like these videos - as I should be doing programming there more :)
