I should have mentioned armis too! His endgame video is great, and I think he's planning to make more of them.

Wow, a flurry of commentary videos! Unfortunately I'm on my laptop at a public library right now, so I can't listen yet But I can't wait to see the game when I get home tomorrow.

Josh, I'd like to set up another dual commentary game. Do you have an FICS account? If so, maybe we can arrange a time to play together. I'm available on most nights at 11p, and on most mornings.

Wow, for everyone else out there...BKildahl posted this message at roughly the same time as I sent him a PM asking about playing tomorrow. So there will be a new dual commentary video sometime tomorrow night!

Based on what I've seen of his videos though, I'm a little nervous.

Just Excellent!!

I don't know if you guys know how much this means to beginners as myself, I can't say it enough how great it is to hear what your thoughts are as you play, it gives me a much better understanding of " the game " & more confidence

I also hope to make a video in the future, & look forward to many more of yours.

Thanks, Robert! I hope you do make a video soon, and I look forward to watching it.

what is this program you play chess with?

Don't you use Fritz?

just wanted to say thanks
video's like this and josh's are really great
i'm going to post a video sometime 2morrow i've sorted it out and recorded a few realised they were to big reduced the quality and framerate and stuff recorded some more games but i lost in horribly embarrasing ways. so hopefully 2morrow i'll have an interesting game for you all to comment on

Interesting game and well played, BKildahl. Because you don't mention it in your comment, I wonder if you have realized, that not one single piece was captured until move 20! That's quite unusual, isn't it?

Thanks, guys.

Yes, grampus. It's unusual to go without a capture for the first 20 moves, but it's more common in closed games than open ones I think, and I play a lot of closed games, so it happens more often to me than to a lot of other players.
