Thanks Denni, great as always :thumright:
I especially liked the strategies explained, the exchange sac was really nice as well. Besides your microphone works better than before so I don't have to turn my speakers really loud which wasn't much of a problem anyway, still it's just more comfortable the way it is now, thanks :bumdance:

Can't wait to see more :roll:

Post Very enjoyable and informative
Hi, Dennis.

As the subject says, a very enjoyable and informative lesson. Volume just fine. Now I have to go seek out your first lesson (played the second).

Post Thanks!
Excellent lecture Dennis! I like this volume a lot better too; I had some trouble hearing the other lectures.

One minor point: after Qd2 f5?! Qg5+ Ng6 Qf6+ Kg8, Nxd6? seems bad due to Rf8 (which you later pointed out was a threat). I'm not sure if you intended Qxd6 instead (of Nxd6) or if White has something earlier.
(I'm sorry that I don't have the move numbers.)

Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to see the game you played.

Hi Dan,

Yes, I noticed that about Rf8, but I guess I didn't state it right there. But yes again, Qxd6 is simple and good. (I thought I said that! Maybe not.)

Glad you're enjoying it! I'm not sure I understand your last sentence though.

Hi Dennis,

You're right, you did mention Rf8 Qxd6, but somehow I missed it until right now. It looks like I have my own blind spots!

At the end of your lecture you mentioned you hope to "show a game you played" (although the lecture got cut off at 39:59). I wasn't sure if you meant the PGN for this game or showing a different game, but either way I look forward to seeing it.

Dennis,
Thanks again for another great video. The mic, as mentioned before, was much improved, keep 'em coming! :)

Dan,

Ahhhh...now I know what you're referring to. As a matter of fact, that game was uploaded to the server a couple of days before this one - I recorded this one first, but because they post my "Training Videos From the Masters" presentations on Tuesdays and don't have a delay on the "Game Analysis Videos", that one went up first. (It's at http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/about1173.html)

Awesome, thank you very much. I've been trying to work on restricting my opponent lately and this should really help!

I love how you mixed it up, i don't know of anyone that has done anything like this before. You should consider being part of a chess video pay sight (chesslecture.com) or some others. Your definitely good enough.

:cyclopsani: Great vid again! Nice to see a master missing simple Knight fork combos at the end. Gives us patzers hope.
