Ng5 is my hero

P.S.

"comfortably over 2500" is something that some grandmasters can't even say.

I enjoyed it. My only comment is that you shouldn't be too worried about dead air if you're playing and commentating at the same time (rather than commentating a game you just played). If you're thinking out a position just do so in silence or talk it out if you prefer. At the same time, viewers can be looking at the position themselves. Then, right after you make your move, you can discuss the reasons why in a clearer fashion which also saves time.

Heres a chess book I'm currently reading every night before I go to sleep now that I don't have to worry about Final exams(THANK GOD!) Its called Logical Chess. Move By Move. Every Move Explained(found most commonly as Logical Chess but the others are on the front cover of the book as well)

Logical Chess by Irving Chernev. Its really popular and helps you learn about why grand masters make each of the moves they make.

This was great! Perfect level for me to learn from. Especially when you talked about attacking strategies after you both castled. Don't worry if you don't have anything to say sometimes, I just use the time to think about the position (otherwise we can just fast forward )

And could someone link me Ng5, I couldn't find him on youtube. Exactly how good is he (Is he titled/whats his FIDE)?

Look at his on-demand stuff...

He's comfortably over 2500 on 5 minute games...



How can I find the on-demand stuff??

I think that on some of those sites, the ratings are quite inflated. I guess it is more fun for people when they think they are playing on a high level. Instantchess is like 400 elo off imo.

Ah, thanks! I am sufficiently impressed considering he beat Gata Kamsky in blitz, regardless of blitz/blunders/short time control/etc, that is still crazy!
