I like your voice, good commentary! IF Majnu is looking forward to part 2, you clearly deserve 5 stars!!!

Thanks furrer08. I appreciate the feedback. I try to do my own thing. There's a lot of videos on specific openings so I try to stay away from that. Mostly so far I have done calculation training and endgame studies. I am about to do a series on strategic middlegame ideas based on Michael Stean's classic book "Simple Chess". Thanks for watching and hope to see you again!

Good explanation. The pace is good for everyone to follow the analysis.

Looking forward for part 2!

Thanks Majnu. I appreciate your feedback. I think it is nice for a beginner to be able to follow, but it could be a bit tedious for an advanced player to get this level of explanation! Need to get some happy medium I suppose.

The game score (PGN) with the player info was taken from my chessbase program, but I know I butchered the pronounciation! Sorry about that.
