I am videoing my journey to Chess Master Level 2250-2300, and what it takes to accomplish this exciting goal. I am producing many instructional videos along the way. I hope these are enjoyable and teach you much about the best game in the world.

  • Do you find that producing your videos helps clarify your understanding of the positions?

  • @lkjhz99

    Absolutely! One of the MAIN reasons I am producing these Chess videos is for myself. I know, its selfish, its arrogant, and its hedonistic, but hey man, they work for me! GRIN!

  • I like chess but I am NOT a master. That is for sure.

  • I have played two very excellent Chess games tonight that I am going to use to illustrate my next video with. They ought to be seriously instructive for the point I want to put across. This is starting to get very interesting and very fun. I sincerely do believe I am capable of producing some seriously informative chess videos....

  • Queen c6 check would have won the rook at the begining of the 1st game

  • I am a chess fan . I like your videos because you are entusiastic... and you are a pretty good speaker

  • Personally, IMHO, I think the Silman book on reassessing your chess is like a college textbook, overwhelming somewhat. The summaries do help!

  • @dnv83 Yeah, maybe you need to learn to read.

  • @alachabre Your feedback isnt a feedback at all. Either you commend the man for his efforts to share his knowledge to the world and improve the understanding of the game for patzers out there (or) you give constructive criticism. But,here one sees that you are discouraging the man and slandering his know how of the game. His attitude is what matters, the rest will follow with his zeal and determination.

  • I just became a Student of you, dear Kerry. How many years do you give me to become a Chess Grandmaster too? Don´t say it! LOL! Thanks for your great advice here and in your facebook Chess Group as well! :)

  • I'd love to play chess with you.
