@sdfgdsgfsdfs Thanks, I'll watch what he posted, and btw, here's another commentator who is new on youtube, IM Bindi Cheng from Canada, rated about 2400 too, his account is under the name Barkyducky, he's got some very funny and instructive videos.

Fantastic explanation of themes in the symmetrical English. This was very helpful for me since I sometimes play 1 Nf3 and also use a line very similar to this against the Schlechter (and Panov) attack in the Caro. I must say I think you are better at this than almost all commentators, including Andrew Martin, Daniel King, Nigel Davies and Victor Bologan. (Of course it's a matter of taste.) You're like Kasimdzhanov, except without the annoying accent. =)

@gentilguy : There's GM Henrik Danielsen with the nickname "krakkasak" on Youtube.

@gentilguy Search for krakkaskak. He's a GM. He's very inactive nowadays however :(

cool.

The audio is fine for me too.

You revealed your name for (of what I know) the first time. Along with Andrew Martin, you must both be the highest rated youtube commentators. That was a very profound game analysis, based a lot on the opening wich can help many players. Thanks, great work.

i like the way white pulls off a draw with his isolani. its not good but one way of using it instead of losing it. i luv good isolani games but never want that pawn in my own games
