Is there a way to watch these training videos at a somewhat slower speed? I would like to have a little more time to evaluate each of the different moves discussed by Dennis. But the explanations are sometimes just a little too fast to properly absorb them all. I can replay them but they will still be at normal speed.

Hi reset.

You do realize you can pause the video at any point, right? Also, you can rewind to any previous point. Using those tools, you should be able to progress at your own pace.

This was a fun lecture from the attacker's point of view, and the point about the pawn structure in the center making the attack possible was good too.

It's a pity the defender gave up in the center and on the kingside in both of these games - I thought the best way to meet a flank attack is by counterattacking in the center.
