[object16]

thank you for a proper length of game - finally i can keep up with what is going on -

[johncenaa7]

nice game..!!liked it

[citizenwind]

is 25 ...Qxc3 no good?

[Gyroslooter]

27. Rf4! would be crushing.

[biernico]

when u said is there a way to disconnect these rooks sudently i saw rf1

[sertificat0r]

Why you was afraid rf8? H8 was covered by bishop

[EK22able]

Mr .crusher 32. RF1! is getting rid of one of the rooks

keep up the good videos and watch for those tactis

[athorist]

@EK22able I saw that too!

[falmedo]

oh ... tough game !!

[ofpfury]

Very instructive and entertaining :)  Thanks KC

[corny165]

32...Rf1should give the advantage to black with the centre pawns and whites loose h4 pawn hanging.

[powerchess20002000]

Bc3 instead of Bc5 in the end should be winning for white.

[MrBoKemp]

32...Rf1 gets a pair of Rooks off does it not? He can no longer penetrate on g file afterward.

[romans920]

After that long game a week or two ago that ended in a draw, here is your revenge, nice draw.

[LiiChinHo]

I like 5 minute games!

[nasty1182]

these 15 minutes are great

[tejaslr]

Thanks for the 15mins ...Please play more

[jerseyknight]

bc3 not bc5

[dugalam]

"May be he doesn't need to do that" @ 26:52, you are lucky :-)

Instead of a8, b4 would have been a crushing win for whites...

Thx for these solid videos.

[LuckProductions75]

Great draw! I'm liking the 15 minute games :)

Hi KC, enjoying your videos! I have a question, and since I do not have any software to check my ideas, could you maybe enlighten me on this idea and why it's good or bad? - at move 32 you talk about breaking the connection of the rooks. wouldnt 32. Rf2 work with that to deflect the rook and prevent the invasion?

[vinkbram]

@vinkbram I mean Rf1

[wtfjonw]

Congratulations on the salvage. Your opponet was playing the testicular lines which are your gift and that you usually favor!! I think that was why his play was strong.

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Wow, that was a tense game.

[AlanWattParrot]

worthy opponent .. really gg!

[Adetque]

At 18:00, would ...Rf1 have been a viable move?

[jewbinson]

@Adetque Didn't see that - well spotted

[SuperJohn719]

24... Qxc3 was better you could of done it because b2 cannot defend it.

[jewbinson]

@SuperJohn719 maybe but it does allow Qxg6+

[smarnold22]

Thanks a lot for the 15 minute games, I've been waiting so long for someone to start doing some.

Even if they're short games it's still much better than 5 minute - time struggle just isn't entertaining to watch compared with real chess thought. Not to say I don't enjoy your other videos, mind you.
