  • Don't you have to do a checkmate to win? The king was safe at the end.

    What am I missing?

  • It's not necessary to go all the way to checkmate. Usually when there is a big material disbalance that would make it fruitless to defend it is customary for the weaker side to resign before inevitable checkmate.

  • one advice: try not to call out the moves too much, but concentrate on commenting. We see what's going on on the board, we'd rather hear your excellent explanations. Other than that, nice videos!

  • I know, but I couldn't resist. :)

  • This is charming. dexterous minds amaze me.

  • At 8:30 it looks like black can play a nice move, Ng4.

  • sweet accent!!!

  • When is the best time to advance your pawns for attack? And good game :)

  • esa rubia esta para clavarla!!

  • le chuparia todo a la rubia.

  • White's going to queen her 'a' pawn. Then she'll be able to checkmate black quickly. Even 34 seconds on the clock will be ample and it's black that's behind on time. I couldn't see Skripchenko check the clock though. Maybe she's good at doing that out of the corner of her eye...

  • lol im guessing u dont play blitz much :D
