 Re: IM Renier Castellanos: An Introduction [35:00]
I have to say: I LOVE the content!! It's such a nice positional game and well explained with ideas and variations. Combined with some evaluations at a few different points in the game, it made a good video!
I like it too, because while the setup is common, the material about it is very rare (in video-format).

 Re: IM Renier Castellanos: An Introduction [35:00]
Very intricate maneuvering game. I thought your presentation was very good, although I might suggest when you go between variations and showing the other games, a bit slower and more clarity on where we are, because it was easy to forget whether we were looking at the game or variations at a few points. Your positional understanding really impressed me in this video, I kept waiting for white to sacrifice somewhere in the early middlegame, like RxN on h5 or something along those lines, but it never happened, as black had everything under control. A very nice introduction, and your playing style is a perfect compliment to the other presenters on the site. Welcome aboard!

 Re: IM Renier Castellanos: An Introduction [35:00]
Very nice video, the opennig has been well explained as well as the main ideas of the middle game but a bit embarrasing with all those variants up and down, i´think it shouldn´t be a D rated video, anyway a very good job, thnx

 Re: IM Renier Castellanos: An Introduction [35:00]
Nice change of pace from DennisM, which is not a qualitative assessment one way or the other.
I appreciate that the author took time out to describe the positional trumps and general aims for each side. Thx.

 Re: IM Renier Castellanos: An Introduction [35:00]
Even though I haven't had time to watch the whole video (I've made it about halfway) I'm enjoying what I've seen so far. It's great to have another highly rated player making a video each week.
