Is this the complete video or was there some sort of problem during upload? Also should there be audio?

Interesting trap, although I don't think I have ever experienced someone try to continue into the Alekhine after NF3.

Usually requires:

1. E4 NF6
2. E5 ND5
3. C4 NB6

But your line would definitely be a good trap if someone tries to play that as black.

I've actually played this trap in blitz games against dozens of players over the years. In was first conceived in the 1920's. I've pulled it off in blitz games against players with an Elo through 1650. I have even pulled off variations of this trick in correspondence play against lower rated players to whom I was paired with in tournaments.

I'm sorry for the poor quality. It looked fine on my comptuer, but after uploading
it I can see that the image is distorted. I reconfigured the capture and uploaded it, but the newer version was deleted by the administrators.

I didn't have a microphone either, so in due time I will correct these problems.

Can anyone suggest the best chess program to use to achieve the best video results on this site? Is there any way for us to edit these video once they have been uploaded. For example, if I upload one and find a mistake I woul like to reupload that same file without creating duplications on the server.

I would love to see categories on this site dedicated to miniatures, positional play, and middlegame tactics.

We need to be able to rate these videos too. Maybe ratings by visitors, and administration.

This is so dumb......Had black played 8...g6 on the last move instead of ...h6?? he would win easily. For example, after white plays 9.Nf7, black simply replies 9...Nc6, and after the further 10.Nxh8 by white, black plays 10...Kxh8, followed up by 11...Bg7 and 12...Qf8, then white's e6 pawn's gonna fall, and black will have two minor pieces for the rook and a big lead in development, easy win.

This video should be retitled "How to get beaten by the Alekhine's Defense".
