Greg, the sound is _really_ awful in this video! Sounds like you play outside in a hurricane. That said, I still love it. You should make a HU poker video some day!

Amen on the negativity of chess players- one of my first experiences when I first learned the game - I was a 1200 player and some expert was thrashing me until he hung his queen- i took it and he swept the pieces off the board onto the floor and stormed out of the room. WTF? Something's wrong if losing a board game causes you to act like a three -year old!


BTW, the sound is no big deal- sounds like a little fan noise but the commentary is clearly audible. Loved the video- 87 minutes of pure chess enjoyment- thanks!

Pretty entertraining, zero lost , may be you should change the topic to "It isn't fun to play chess; it is fun to win". Most games were just lost positions witch improved by the mistakes of your opponent. And every time when you win you criticize your opponent how good he is in chess but unfortunately i won.

Liar! You said you'd play until you lost.

Good to see you back on winning form.

About the premove against Blitzmaster, I had a guy miss a mate-in-one because of premove then ask for takeback. Then he got pissed when I didn't give it to him. What was I going to do? Give him a takeback so he could immediately mate me?

It's amazing how your "I'm going to win" spirit motivates you to win completely lost positions, as you did a number of times in this video (especially nearer the beginning). Very entertaining.

Nice game against Robby. I agree, it is weird how he can bust a move on the internet but in OTB he always seems to get into time pressure. The 2500 thing, I dunno, he's busy with coaching and law, so it might just be a lower priority to him with regards to rating, though I believe he needs one more IM norm at this point.

With regard to the pre-move/takeback and the draw deal, hey, it's worth a shot. Who knows, if there was a "Would you please resign?" button I am sure he'd press that one from time to time.

Thanks for the video. Can you talk more about the US Championship? Did you enjoy doing commentary? What players impressed you and did better than you thought? What players did much worse? Fantasy team results? Any stories on why Onichuk did not do after game interviews. Was he sick?

Very impressive and the fan noise is no big deal.
EDIT: check this, it's great:

Sweet games! This video also proves that you should listen to Lady Gaga at all times.

Awesome turnaround from your previous group of videos

Epic video. The 960 game with reversed Kings and Queens was the pinnacle.
