  • I am stunned with all this feedback. Thank you all!

    There isn't too much time for calculation in blitz games - a lot of is is to play intuitively. To try and outplay the opponent positionally, rather than try and work out complex combinations. Also it helps to not be tired, and also to try and suprise opponent's in the opening, to get them using up time on the clock.

  • I liked the up and down flow of this game. Good job against a GM!

  • I am now addicted to these commentaries. These are very well done. I am basically a patzer but I know enough to appreciate the analysis. I out grew a radio shack 1650 and did about 3 out of 10 against an upgrade at 2250 when I was at my best but stop playing much about 15 years ago. I know enough to work out tactical combinations but the positional knowledge and theory that is on display here is fantastic. I know looking for tactical weaknesses in the opposing pieces can only go so far.

  • Very instructional.

  • At the final position, he couldn't take any pawns his rook was aiming at due to the fork, his passed pawn was going to fall, so black was definitely winning.

  • more videos of your kingscrusher's cat would be cool too

  • @Fand421 Nd6? Then b6 falls and doubled rooks on that open file are lethal.

  • @lazimofo90 He's a very busy guy-- running your own website, making all these vids, and who knows what else this man does? :D Dont' take it personally ;)

  • Instead of the rook sac, what about Nd3?

  • may i ask what engine you use to make these videos.

  • KC why dont you ever write ME back anything or respond to any of the pm's i send u ?
