hi Jerry. what's the program u use to record as video what was occuring on the computer? cant use webcam for that purpose because the result is crappy. ;)

[ChessNetwork]

It's a screen recorder.

[pulkitjainful]

in the opening when the bishop was played at e3 instead of h4 why did not the knight challenged bishop by ng4?

[ChessNetwork]

@pulkitjainful Maybe just Bf4 and the knight on g4 looks silly.

[Haleyjoy0]

Excellent video. Your commentary is superb. It is clear that you really put time and thought into your videos, and it's much appreciated.

[JeremyNasmith]

'going into PacMan mode!'  Love it!!! Perfect analogy!!!

[vansinniger]

Great explanation of the endgame, keep on doing explanations like in 16:40.

Liked and Subscribed.

Why are you doing that great amount of work?

[orbsydorb]

@ChessNetwork cant the bishop take the queen if u do that?

[concept015]

thank you

[damthatriver09]

Damn Chessnetwork's voice is too monotone to keep me interested in his commentary.

@TomDavid88 even if it's boring, that doesn't mean they can't play chess...

[Averagebum2]

@TomDavid88 I'm all for Western dominance or whatever you want to call it, but "always will be"? Where do you get such logic from?

[babykevinxoxo]

What is her record since she has become world champion?

[TheZoider]

no adds!
