Note that in the opening stage of the game I make some comments during the video about being forced to stop black's ....d5 plan with the move Nd5. Of course I meant Ne3, as this is what I played in the first game against jaw

I think I made this inaccurate comment like two or three times even.

Weird that black deviated from the previous game, and then played ...e5 with a very similar position.

The discussion of the knight on f6 vs. e7 was great. Shows how much subtle differences matter.

Very wild middlegame after 21.Bh6. At first I thought 22.Ne3 was good, but you showed an annoying line for black there. It's hard to figure out what white should do after 21...Re8 (as you mention).

Cat interference can be tough. I've been there.

Too bad you played Kg2 instead of sacrificing on d4 (or playing Nf5). Both ideas a really nice.

A win is a win. Nice work!

as for a plan i think for white after simplifying a little w/ Nxf6 Bxf6 i think the more potent move here would be just Bf4 instead of the more natural but uneffective Bh6 looks nice but just seems to get black more active, its clear after Bf4 white has a clear advantage and black is tied down by his bishops defence of b8 though its blitz i just thought id put my two sense in to see if you guys agree

I have been watching your videos for a few weeks, and thought I would finally register to say thank you!.

I can't wait to see more.

Well I have very good news for you! I am 100% cured from my terrible disease and I will be returning with new videos shortly. I will play only one more video on the curtains account. From then on they will be coming from my anonymous account. This will be for a few reasons:

1. No one will bother me before or after the games
2. To make the best list you must play 8 games per week. This is very difficult to do if I must make a video after every game, however I like to be on the best list! The way ICC works is that only your regular account is eligible for the best list, and my anonymous one is not. So I can play on curtains all I want, without worrying about adhering to the 8 games per week limit. For my anonymous account, which you will soon learn the name of, I will just PRETEND that I am on the best list, if I should ever get my rating high enough!

That is all!

nice win
