Jul 10, 2008 - Great - Love the guest commentator! The only thing I missed greatly was "Overview and Summary" - but it was made up for by the quite thorough and easily followed plans - Also - "Guess What White Would Do" is always great. Thanks a million --

Jul 10, 2008 - Excellent commentating. Loved the way you explained your thought process for each move and how you explained how you developed a game plan that suits your position, both opening up the position but restricting counterplay. Very nicely done

Jul 11, 2008 - Awesome video. Instructive for people that need to work on their midgame. I'd like to see more midgame videos like this one.
firedwired Says:
Jul 11, 2008 - this is absolutely brilliant, you explain each move so beautifully. I liked your explanation of whites moves to strengthen the position, waiting for black to blunder. I have a tendency to rush attacks, i'll be bearing this in mind! more please :)

Until then remember: "Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy" (Tarrasch).

grumour Says:
Jul 10, 2008 - Nice video. I think retreating the dark bishop back to b2 instead of letting him swap was a key move. I usually find having both bishops at your disposal very powerful, especially against dutch defense
