i'm roughly a 2000 player but your commentary has shown me how far i am from master strength. Your explanation of ideas is amazing as always thanks for the vid!

[ChessNetwork]

@generalrigald Glad to help. :)

@ChessNetwork Jerry, in large part due to you and your videos, I just became the Vice President of my University's chess club. Thanks for all your help!

[ChessNetwork]

@NumbFlynn Great! How many club members?

[NumbFlynn]

@ChessNetwork We're sorta small. I think we have roughly 25 members.

[ChessNetwork]

@NumbFlynn Which university? Don't feel compelled to share. Thanks for the feedback. :)

It is really great to be in the mind of a master while thinking :)

I managed to learn 10x more things in the last month while watching you than in my last 10 years of just playing the game. My real opponent is my dad who killed me when I was in high-school. Only two draws in more than 100 matches. After 1 month of ChessNetwork and 10 years of waiting I played 2 matches against him. First he won easily but in the second one he was closer than ever to losing. I am waiting for that day... soon :)

Really learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for posting.

My gosh, the thinking between a high level chess player and myself (being quite new, like played less than 15 games) is astounding. I am thinking about where I can move my pieces, hardly concerned about my opponent and his possibilities and have to spend like 2 minutes just thinking about seemingly basic interactions between pieces. You develop strategy from the seemingly simplest of things and have basically internalized all the interactions and movements of pieces... simply amazing :)

Good job, once you exchanged the queens I thought you were going to lose because all your pawns were alone and doubled, but again, good job!
