I think posting every one might be to much. Constantly worrying about getting a bad position etc. Just seems to have an adverse effect.

We all love your videos. I my self have become a curtains addict. I check the site twice a day just to see if you have done any new videos. Lol, my girlfriend thinks im crazy but oh well.

My point is that 160+ videos is alot of contribution to the site (Not including all the non-live stuff). Maybe its a good idea to post the good/instructive ones for a while. You know to get the weight off for a while and to make it fun to play again.

double post.

I think he's exaggerating the impact the mic has on him, and kind of doing a running gag w/ it. I personally find it hilarious, because it reminds me of something I'd do. "I hate you all" is perfect.

+ Since I play the same systems I like pausing the game after each move and deciding what he should do. I think he realizes what he's doing is good for chess, and his persona. Sure he could do less video's, but overall I think this is better for the U.S. chess community as a whole, I hadn't even played chess in the longest time before I got addicted to his videos, and have recently gotten an account on ICC, and been playing a couple hours every day.

Heck, maybe you'll see me in one of his tournaments. What I'm just trying to say is that even though it may be a little tougher, I think by now we all realize it's definitely harder to use a mic and play at the same time, and the pluses far outweigh the negatives.

I don't do it because it's good for the chess community, I do it because I'm a huge attention whore who wants the entire world to bask in my greatness whenever I win a few chess games in a row.

I think that somehow once your posting more than 5 a day its more like spamming.

lol, fair enough =)

You must've enjoyed when you won 15 in a row then

After Bb4 in the opening the best move "supposedly" is Qc2, and it is easier to play not knowing it bc all you do is a3 and Qxc3. But in my opinion, i think psychologically the best approach is to avoid Nc3 as a whole bc you know your opponent wants to play Bb4 so you play Bg2 and 00 and either transpose to catalan or play a reti which are obviously respectable openings.
if you like offbeat stuff or aggressive lines Nc3 Bb4 Qc2 and next move is g4! ( played by Krasenkow)

laters

lol yea I don't know the Catalan or Reti, I was just testing to see if he transposed into something I liked if I played 1.Nf3. I've played 1.c4 against him a billion times. When I start trying out Nf3, which will happen shortly, I'll figure out which line suits my style best.

Great little video, best entertainment ever.
