I don't know if anyone else does this, but after watching these videos, I run an internal commentary on all my games (weirdly, the voice in my head commentating sounds like KC!). Anyway, I've added 200+ points to my online rating since doing so.

Tigran Petrosian managed to become world champion in a similar method. He was a very defensive player, analyzing what his opponents would probably do and playing prophylactic moves which upset their plans. He waited till he spotted weaknesses and would slowly wither them away. But many considered his chess very boring lol :-)

[AwNNeR]

@ImposingSumo This happens to me all the time.

[jbyrne19]

lol he tried to beat you on time, and failed. great work kc!

[trixapete]

u got lucky there

[bpeags]

i'm american and i even put on the british accent

[numbcore]

At move 20 I saw Nh3 then N takes f2, wins a pawn and might be weakening him

[numbcore]

Nice! such great nerves of steel

[LeonComposer]

I have KC in my head too :) hehe

[gerrytol]

i think more of petrosian then Em. Lasker. If anything this might cut down on blunders...which means pretty much not noticing the defensive consequences of your moves....

[ChielReemer]

the thing is: sometimes, as a logical consequence of your opponents ideas and possibilities, you will have to come up with a plan of your own in order not to lose. active defense is the only defense a lot of the times.
