First first, Renier Castellanos takes a look at La Roux - Vaisser, featuring an especially interesting middlegame. Renier discusses playing with and against a queenside majority.

First second, we need you! There's the wiki and the chess blog index, and both need your participation. Go and help us make this a better place for the community!

Second, the analysis exchange is progressing, and the first results are up. Josh's take on gooeyjim's game, Igor's take on hapahauli's submission, and "Dizzler on the Arbiter" in video format.

Third, there's the CVTV Tournament and it saw some surprising results in Round 2. Some videos were made too: Schumi vs Kamus, Augelmo vs Sarciness, JWhis vs Gooeyjim, and last but not least eimaj vs detroitman. Round 3 pairings and standings are up too. Don't forget to contact your opponent!

On to the endgame side of things. While there have been many endgame videos lately, Peter Lalic's series definitely deserves special attention. In short, concise videos he's teaching you all the basics, from Lucena Position to Checking Distance. And he doesn't stop there, more advanced subjects include N+P vs K.

Concluding, a mixed bag of videos and threads! Looking for opinions on books for beginners? Looking for your latest curtain fix? Looking for coverage of the US Amateurs? Or maybe for brilliant tactics? You're in the right place! And if that's not enough, there's always the Football World Cup thread. At least for the next three weeks!

That's it for this week, keep the videos coming!
