This is one of the best videos you have done. Great job! Just the quality of the video is incredible! The content was on point. The music fit in well with the atmosphere of the video. Your voice was confident and enjoyable to listen to the whole time. Just perfect! 5 stars... or 5 rectangular boxes LOL.

You did a really awesome job with this. Great job and i am assuming that this is being entered into the short video contest correct? If so, you have definitely set the bar high for everyone else.

this video was very nicely done. The fact that you had a powerpoint to as well as an analysis board made the video much more professional.

Or 5 PAWNz. wow that was pretty awesome music too LOL.

Very nice video KB!!

Excellent! What a journey from your first videos about how to win games. Not only has your video expertise reached new hights but your chess knowledge has as well.

Wow... That was pretty impressive KB.
I guess this is for the short-video contest, so i don't need to make a video because it won't reach that qualitiy ;)
Very nice, that was really a great video, Thanks a lot buddy.

I think this is a marvelous video for beginners and very instructive as well as fun to watch. On the other hand, there is always room for improvement and here is what I have to say:

Although your explanations were very clear, I'd have to say that the continuations/lines you gave were very short and a bit "messy" as I may say. You went through some of them quit fast and I think it sometimes didn't show best play. The idea was well presented but the lines you gave to convert your advantage could have been better and made easier to follow IMO.

Great video, you're a good teacher and I think as strange as it may sound your improvement over the last couple of weeks can be noticed through the video.

That's all


P.S: I might enter the contest if I have time to do it in the next week and my built in mic on my laptop sounds good

Great job KB, I love your style of seeming lost or mad at yourself like the rest of us commoners...

Obviously a very good video. I think you are the best videomaker at this moment in time. Unfortunately, prettyness isn't the only important thing. And I feel bad for having to point this out, as I know I'm a stronger player, but I feel there are mistakes in your explanation. For example:

- you give a role to every and all pieces. Some pieces just don't have roles, like the rook on f8 in the 2nd diagram. The f7-pawn isn't attacked or anything. At the moment the rook is unemployed: it's not developed yet.
- your explanation lacks 'harmony'. Yes, every piece has it's own mobility and it's own role, but how does this work together? In diagram 2 you come up with the plan 'playing on the queenside' but what makes this a good plan? The fact that all of white's pieces have great mobility on that side, while black doesn't have it, thus creating a lasting powerplay situation. Diagram 1 and 3 is the same story. Your move doesn't follow logically from your explanation I feel.
- last game doesn't reallllly fit in the presentation. There's no explanation on why white has a crushing strategical edge. And I'd say, well, he doesn't have a winning strategical edge. He just wins by tactical reasons because of the pin and the big f6-weakness. Yes, his knight is murderous on e4/f6, but is that really a strategically winning advantage in itself? Maybe, maybe not...

Don't get me wrong: it's not a dig at you at all. I still think it's a very good video and I voted you in the top 3. And I'd be very surprised if you didn't end up there. And again, I understand that I am the better player between us and that I therefore probably have better understanding of the game. Still, it's supposed to be a chess-video and therefore I won't vote for looks alone.

p.s. that song rocks!
