Good video, and good that you've noticed that it's hard to follow the notations when you use Rybka/Fritz because the video doesn't capture everything that's going on, so that you comment what the computer is telling you. I've forgot to tell you that in previous videos. Also the text in the recap from that home page is a little small, so it can be ahrd to see what they write, so it's a good thing that you read it out loud, when there is something you want to comment. The reason I do not comment in every video is because chessvideos.tv keep logging me off, even though it says l"ogin automatically each visit" and it takes too much of my timme to login every other day. :(

And if not that many people commented your last video it can be just as simple as everything went on so smoothly, and most things were perfect, like the lengh of the video and so on, so there was nothing to comment about :D except that it was a really good video. But nothing extraordinary happend, like you going totally crazy. I think that your last video was one of you better, when you see to the video as a whole, if I recall correctly, anyway, keep up the good work!

Nice "King Dance" on g8-h8. Beautiful promotion to knight for win..! Good coverage of Nalchik.

There are so few comments because we are speechless!

This video coverage is great; it could be improved but it would be somewhat difficult... perhaps if you were able to get Garry make a cameo appearance in the show (Godgusti will also be great)...

Of course there will be days where the video is not a marvel, but as long as the level of awesomeness is high (and it IS high) I will not complain at all. ;-)

You were clearly not 100% here but neither were the players (with the Akopian knight exception :shock: ).

Akopian's really picking up the pace, that Knight promotion was awesome. I was watching it live and wondered how he could get out of the 2 Queen perpetual and he just promotes to a Knight :lol:

Alekseev's King dance was hilarious as well. 10 moves just back and forth and Leko can't capitalize on it!

Hope you get well soon!

Akopian is a beast man! You don't stay @ 2700 for 10+ years without being an absolute beast!!

This was a very good day in terms of the quality of the games. In particular, the promotion to the knight to win, and also the amusement of the king going back and forth for ages, yet Leko still unable to get a win, and in the end settling for a draw. This video was in no way sub-par. Oh, and everybody, let's get curtains to at least 10 comments today!

I like the tournament so far, many fighting games, nice wins.
(Btw: Ivanchuk fell asleep during the press conference. Or so it seemed. ;))

Keep up the great work, Greg. Sometimes we get busy but a lack of comments in no way equals a lack of appreciation. I doubt that you have a greater collection of fans than you do on this site. Thanks dude, you rock!

Greg, thanks for the coverage of this event. I'm glad you went through with it even though you aren't feeling 100%, I hope you get up to speed soon. BTW, I watch all of your tnmt reports, they're a lot of fun to watch, especially with games like we saw today, the Alekseev King stop and should we now call Akopian 'SIR Akopian' for the knight promotion - crazy stuff! Also, the missed stalemate from the previous round, that was a howler! Can't wait to see what happens in the next round.

curtains you are a modern superstar, a true man of the internet age. Also, don't worry about the lack of comments just pay attention to # of views that is what really tells u how many people are watching. I have enjoyed 100's of your videos w/ out leaving a comment, but i understand u just want to be sure that your effort is being recognized believe me we appreciate it bigtime dude.
