Hi, i'm first of all sorry that this got posted in the advanced section. This should be in beginners. I selected beginner on the upload tool.

Sorry about the bad sound quality, i don't have a good mike, just the mike that came with comp.

So this is my first live commentary and as you can see i'm still on yahoo chess. I haven't found another online chess server to play against other beginners.
Yahoo definitely has a lot of low level players using chess engines.


I just wanted to say that this site is great .

Hey TheOKAY.
Well done for the win! When you said about the bishop coming to c4 being a problem for you in the opening, well, it doesn't need to be! I am pretty unfamiliar with the opening moves and sequence but to me you should try and develop more naturally rather than opening the centre with d4 straight away. Bring your knight out or even bishop to c5. I just feel that opening the centre like that could be pretty dangerous but all in all don't panic when you see Bc4. Play calmly and normally and you can gain a good position out of the opening :)

Hello TheOKAY;

Thank you for posting your video ... I enjoyed it very much!

I thought the quality was excellent. The sound seemed clear to me (I was listening on a headset).

Keep up the good work.

Cordially,

First I'll say that I enjoyed the video. Good job. Next I must say that one of the fundementals I learned early on is that when you have a material advantage it is usually to your advantage to go for the even exchange.

Hi TheOkay, nice win. I see your yahoo chess handle is Ruffian. Early 1970s Ruffian is my favorite race horse. Anyway yes this is a great site and welcome to it!
