I don't intend to steal your thunder Ng5, and if you want I'll edit this out, but I figure the people reading this thread might be interested.

http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/viewforum.php?f=29 has a ton of live commentaries from an IM who has a similar 5-minute rating to the OP.

I rarely play standard except for the occasional tournaments. If I could find someone I actually know I could do that. Maybe I could convince a WIM I've been talking to recently. In standard games you tend to be seeing less wild things, though. I can't always play the unsound but fun things I do in 5-minute.

So far I have 2 wins and 1 losses - or 3 wins - and standing around 22xx. I never really played standard much. Even on my old account I haven't played more than sixty, more than half of it against an engine. I wanted to be the first who beats it in 15 minute standard.

I think the possibilities are quite rich. I'm actually expecting it more than I thought I would. I daresay I'm anxious. Which is weird because I've never been social and always been very private. The sole thought of talking on a mike made me go ewww :r at first.

I'm negotiating with the correspondence site's owners, maybe they'll let me stream my ideas on running games. It could even serve them as advertisement.

I don't think there's much light to be stolen. I'll let people decide if my stream's worth it. I'm not the jealous nor easily offended kind. But I know I have things to offer.

I'm taking suggestions as to when interested people could tune in. I mean hour distribution around the day.

It would be best if you posted the hours you could watch in CET or EST, but I have a strong feeling I will manage if you don't.

It would also be nice to know how regular you would like it to be.

hey man i am an fairly strong player as well (fm) .. yeah 2500 is pretty good in the 5min pool wouldn't be suprised if you a gm .... anyway .. the lag and also the fact of running other programs may also set off detection software for rngines (not sure but just a thought) usually programs that cause lag or make your processors strain the virtual memory set these things off i think, so that may be another issue .. althought i think over the course of several blitz games they would only have to analyze your play to see the errors that would occur in your games they would probably figure it out .. that your just running some other program .. or maybe you could just tell them you are streaming so there may be issues with any detection software..........
the beauty of a move is not in its appearance but the thought behind it ... nimzovitch

I look forward to this if you can get permission to comment on your games. Frankly, I don't think I would watch much if it was only the stream as I probably wouldn't have the insight to learn much from a high level blitz game without your simultaneous guidance.

If you can do comments however, be it either during or after games, I would probably watch your stream quite a lot. Not going to make any promises, but I could see myself watching a stream like that for about an hour some days. I'll be most likely to watch during the evening 18-24 CET, but could be any time really as I'm a student an have a flexible schedule.

EDIT: Oh, and a specific request: Maybe play some Caro-Kann, please?

Basically the same applies for me, I am really interested to see how you commentate your games.
I also fully endorse the Caro-Kann request

I would be interested if your discussion was in a similar vein to Day[9]. I think that people with limited SC knowledge still get some useful info from his casts. Since I know nothing about Chess (other than how to play it), if the cast is full of a lot of jargon, and things aren't explained in an easy way then I probably wouldn't listen. Unless a cast for high level chess can't be done in that way, then just ignore me.

Nah it'll be fine. With cable there's gonna be no lag whatsoever. And detection software specifically detects engines only. And even then it's not as simple. There shouldn't be any problem with streaming.

Sidenote: I can comment on my blitz games, the only thing in question is about my correspondence games on another site. There I could show the move, but maybe I'm not allowed to give explanations - my question to the admins is pending.

About the Caro. It should be fine, sure. I would prefer to play against it with white. With black it can get kinda boring I would probably deviate with the g6-h5 or the early Nf6 taking double pawns sideline too much. I could show a few Panov games too as white for the kicks. Just not in a longer time control game. Ever.

I'll show you some nice lines I use with white, though. They are not completely sound, but I play them even in correspondence and it's quite fun. Especially because I 'invented' one of the lines as I forgot where to sac and I took the wrong pawn.

Maybe I could participate in a few open simuls it would give a long time to show my ideas.

As for the date. From 22-23 CET (16-17 EST) could be one and I could also play six hours later at times.

PS: Is there a way to hide your contacts' email address from MSN's chat windows? I would hate if I had to close it coz of privacy issues.

Just out of curiosity, how can you be accused of cheating in chess? The only thing I can think of is if you were feeding the moves into some software that analyzed the best move.

That's it. As part of the TOS ICC's softwares check out your running processes while you play and if they find you running engines and switching processes non-stop they'll just catch you.

And they also check match-ups with engine moves actively, etc. It's not that hard to catch the brainless version of cheaters who don't know crap about chess. Personally if I suspect someone I just flag them in 5-minute. If they really are brainless morons they don't know how to play even the simplest endgames for example and they just flag spending a helluva lot of time on a few moves.

Either that or invite Anand over to sit with you as you play.

Ng5:

I did a quick search on google as I wan't able to hide my own contact adresses in dialogue windows. Unfortunately only answers I found were negative: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=24565. I understand this concerns you, but the many starcraft streamers on this site don't seem to have much in the ways of privacy settings as they stream, and given the forum and the semi-celeb status some of their contacts have, I would assume they would experience trouble before you do.

About the Kann. It was actually the black lines that would interest me, but of course you have to play openings that are entertaining to you as well. I'd like to see those variations you invented, though.

so famous players actually write on forums and talk smack? I'd be interested to see how genius chess players argue with each other. Would it be possible to see a thread? haha :D

Naka and people like Radjabov can be quite assholes after games. Not just standard BM, like moving knights is a very useful skill toi have.

But ICC is also the first place where people don't just keep harassing me if I'm a smurf IM or GM or who I am in real life, what my rating is etc. A lot of GMs smurf. People like Chucky, who can be called anything but a pushover. I always crack up when I think about all the discussions going on about who I might be in real life. They just accept I play and some of them watch me at times. It's nice. Before ICC I don't think I told my real name to anyone save for one person on the internet.

We can go over some lines out of games themselves. I mean I did play Caro a lot when I started playing. It was the opening I wanted to learn first, but it somehow never turned out to be the sheezy. (shizzle-mizzle-fizzle)

Even today when I randomly go back to my old openings (like the French with b6, the Philidor with g6 and so on) I can rarely get myself play a straight up Caro without going into the g6 lines as black.

I would really love to broaden my knowledge of the Slav and the Queen's Indian lately. I'm just too lazy and stuff like the King's Indian or QGA (Budapest, Albin, etc) are just effective enough in blitz that you just drive yourself into a certain laziness. Maybe I should take up 15 minute again and try there.

Edit: Two more posts and I could sign up for the TSL commentary contest.

OP: cool stuff - you sound like a pretty mysterious character

Would definitely tune into this if I was online at the time, I'm in Taiwan right now so there's probably a time-zone difference (11pm right now).

Sort of an off-topic Q that doesn't need to be answered - what's your current occupation? Pretty sure you are over 30...or late 20s .-.

Oh yeah - I can't speak for the skill-level of all the viewers here, but it would be much appreciated if thinking processes were dumbed down (as we suc) - I think using move notation is fine but overall not that technical (somebody mentioned Day's casts, and I think something analogous to that would be awesome). Sometimes I see the king randomly hustling around in the midgame or a random pawn moving forward 1 square and would like to really know why it's "the strongest move" then (or at least a sound one).

why are you guys undermining "ICC" and using it as an abreviation for chess when it's obviously for starcraft? It really confused me T_T

if you want any assistance with the caro-kann or QID, id be happy to help you Ng5

As for arging with Naka, its not that he is a bad guy, he just doesnt seem to respect anyone who isnt at his level. Which is ironic, because he talks too much smack for somebody that has an overly inflated rating via not playing sufficiently strong competition. For example, look at his results at the 2009 US championship vs 2009 London Chess Classic.

It will be very interesting to see how Mr. Big Mouth does in Corus Group A (starts jan.15 iirc) against the likes of Carlsen, Kramnik and Anand.
