Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47] This is my first video and I appreciate any feedback, positive or negative.
This line is not often seen but is a great gambit line (and played by GMs too, so it's probably sound) for the 2...d6 sicilian. This is a great line, particularly for blitz due to the number of players who fall into the traps described. I realized that I've made a few minor errors but nothing, I hope that won't be understood readily by the viewer. Also, I realize that this site is not chessvideos.com- sorry!

Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47] Nice opening video, easy to watch, nicely and clearly presented.
I haven't seen that line before but it looks like fun. The green squares are not really eye-candy though  _________________ Greetings from northern Germany! ICQ# 165-285-919 Skype g3ntl3wh1sp3r http://www.chessvideos.tv/wiki/index.php/Gentlewhisper's_Videos |

Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47] My opinions:
++++ Good length Good voice Adequate tempo throughout the video, Long enough to get time to think about the positions (without need to paus), short enough not to lose pace. Interesting theme (any anti-sicilian is interesting to me) Sticking to the point Nice references to your own experience with this opening ----- The colours and the grey ring that made it's apperance at every move. Headache warning. But overall I really enjoyed it. Thx for the video |

Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47] Thanks dudes, for the constructive feedback. For some reason the board looked much less migraine-y neon green before I posted it. I have no idea where that grey ring thingy comes from- I don't see it until I record the video. I'll probably record the next videos on Chessbase so you'll be able to watch Excedrin-free.

Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47] A great first video. I have played this Basman system in tournament games with good results. It is also covered in the book, Soltis - New Sicilian Gambits.
http://labatechess.com/cart/index.php?m ... cts_id=259 BTW, I think Nb8 is actually considered "correct" and Ne5 is inaccurate. EDIT: Sorry i had it wrong: Nd8 is the move i meant. _________________ GM Simon Williams is awesome. http://www.gingergm.com/ Last edited by katar on Sun Oct 19, 2008 1:42 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: kamus - Be2 Sicilian [23:47]
Well thanks for the link- I'm sorry for the incorrect recommendation. That'll teach me to rely on 30 year old theory!  I stand by my experience though in terms of never losing against ...Nb8 but I'll take a look at the new stuff so I'm ready next time. _________________ Il illigetimi est non carborundum. |
