Clear, methodical and thorough - I hope I've absorbed enough to be able to use these principles in my play. Thanks again.

Dennis,

Thanks for the fantastic video - excellent work and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put into this.

I have a quick question: at 24:23 in the video, I'm having trouble seeing how White makes progress in the "swing the king" (over to the Q-side) because the White B ends up having to do double duty again. For example: (after White's 1.Ke6) 1. ...Kf8 2. Kd6 e4 (threatening the f pawn) 3.f7 e3 4.Bc4 e2 etc.

Thanks again.
