Hi :} I'm somewhat new to TL and don't know much about you or if you have done this before, etc. Can you share some of your chess background? I'm assuming you must be a great/advanced tournament caliber player if you're doing this, but I'd like to hear of your chess accomplishments.

I'd like to play you! I'm an intermediate casual player.

Request: could you talk a bit about how to play positionally/prophylactically? Like...Karpov or Petrosian? Also closed positions...

Also, will the full stream be available on-demand for later viewing?

I remember when i was playing Chess religiously as a youngster, the teacher always stressed out how Karpov doesn't beat his opponents, he helps them beat themselves. :p
I love humanity. It is people that i can't stand.

Awesome! I always wonder what exercise you can do to help read moves faster and longer sequences of moves?

Awesome. I've always enjoyed and have been interested in chess, but have never gotten a chance to see how the pros think. I'll be looking forward to your analyses!

Ng5 I'd be very interested in playing you. Do you have a USCF or FIDE rating?

FYI, the usual English abbreviation for "simultaneous exhibition" is just "simul", not "simultan."

I'll stop by. Always wanted to get into chess, but it's hard to practice when I'm too bad to know what I should be practicing.
Hi there. I'm in a cave, how bout you?
