Almost too long. Hope you enjoy it, probably one of my most creative games.

Thanks for watching,

i watched the whole thing and i agree, you went toe to toe with Shabalov in a creative and dynamically imbalanced game. very well-presented too.

Maybe I missed something. I was trying to watch as my wife was speaking to me. Always difficult! Did you actually win the game? Very good video. I was considering the exchange sacrifice RxB!? as being best or black just gradually improved his position and the d4 B was completely dominating. Very well played!

Thank you, a buddy of mine said something along the lines that it looked like white was Shabalov :) ... anyway, I am very proud of this game, and I am sure if i were black Shabalov would have finished me off. Thanks for the feedback,

Charles

once you master doing both things, listening to wife, and to video at the same time you will gain atleast 100 rating points. This is good off the board training :) thanks for the comments -- the game was a draw.

So I was curious over what you changed from the first version and re-watched it. You did an even better job of explaining I think. Nicely interactive too at times. Can't say it enough though: I love the exchange sac! Very creative, logical and correct too :). Basically, absolutely fantastic game to see.

The original version had problems with the audio and graphics. It just did not come out to what I had expected it to so I decided to do a better version of it.

the exchange sac was nice but I am prouder of f4! :)

Thank you

i agree: the exchange sac is almost obvious but f4 just loses a pawn for "no" compensation!!! ;)
