Day 1 - The Beginning of a Journey

Okay my nerds.

It's been a while and I would have preferred to stream more. Even though I don't play as often (in fact I never did) this is getting hilarious. My internet connection has been awful, and I'm considering getting Housing pay for my cable, since it's not my fault the WiFi that's supposed to be in the price isn't working.

Anyway. This plan has been a long time in the making, so let me map it out for you.

What I wanted ever since mid-last semester is making my appearance on on TL's pages a little more regular. I was contemplating between a weekly - or at least bi-weekly - stream.
The problem is; I can't really promise to keep up to that with my current connection. And for about months now I haven't been able to figure out a more stable streaming medium than LiveStream. That shit just won't cut it anymore.
My idea was - why not make posts or videos, get them uploaded and linked here?

My plan is to keep this page as my major thread - I'll have links to my streaming threads, and any other goodies I might have. Gathering all the links together would also open up the chance to keep each stream or 'lecture' in a separate thread where you could all ask questions - without getting everything too messed up (yes I am maniacally tidying and organizing my stuff when I let myself think too much).

To do this I will probably reserve a couple of posts at the start of this thread to keep the rest going.

What I can't promise is that each issue would be several hours long and very serious and equally racked up with material. What I can promise, though, is that I can make something up each time - even if I'm home with my parents, all over the world, or am not able to give a proper stream. Heck I can't even promise to make it really regular - but I hope to do so.

For this I would like material. One of the first few posts I'll keep for ideas, where I will list everything in plan - and you could add up all your ideas and stuff you would like to hear about. If I personally don't know enough on the topic to feel I could give a solid run-through, I will do some research on my own and post what I came up with.

These material could be anything, from analyzing a couple of interesting games - either one of my own, or yours, or just a game that caught my eyes - to ranting about psychology or a book review. I'm mostly open to any and every suggestions.

I wanted the first project to be the revamp and posting of my chess marathon stream, but I'm still unable to do it - and since it was at the end of all my exams and a tiring week it wasn't as good as I planned.

Stay tuned though - the first real issue of my chess posting is coming right up tonight. Just give me a little time to present it to you!

PS: I will probably stream some of my gaming, though I don't play all that much anymore lately. I'll fire up a separate thread for it. The general interest will be much less - but there'd always been a few people watching even when I played random stuff before.

This is amazing!~

I watched like all of your big marathon stream. I'm getting back into chess and I'll come up with some topics in a bit that might be cool to hear you talk about.

Excellent! I think this is a better format, because people can review it later with greater ease.

Looking forward to it! :D

Gonna play in my first tournament in a year in April. Don't really wanna study, though. Hopefully I don't get trashed and fall below 2200. -_-;

Bump. Made my first post. Link in the post right after the OP in this thread. Will edit OP as well to have it on top until people aren't more familiar with this.

Edit: Should be obvious that any and all feedback is welcome. Either in the threads or in PM.

As a devoted pirc player I giggle at most Ng5 plays. I hate Austrian attack though.

It's nice to see chess threads here, I heart chess, and of course, Blitz.

I had an great game today. 29 moves of pure awesomeness.

I'll either analyse that for the next issue or do something that you guys asked me in particular.

After being fed up with free college wifi I'm ordering DSL. Should be getting the modem before next Friday.

I don't know if you're a serious classical player, but I'd like to hear about how you build a serious opening repertoire. Openings don't mean that much at the 2000 level, but at the same time, it's the one part of the game that I can control. There's nothing worse than entering a game, seeing a move for the first time (especially in a dynamic position) and then suffering for the rest of the game without any counterplay.

I won't be able to stream this weekend, but I'll post another good game analysis if I can find one.

Or maybe I can play another good game tomorrow afternoon if the internet-gods are with me. (I know, I know: that sentence is bad in several sense. Don't argue with me, you know who you are.)

I'll get my DSL on Monday, so here's hoping the next issue will include videos.

Peace,
Me

Edit: So all in all stay tuned for the second issue upcoming sometimes this weekend.

Awesome! I'm sad that I wasn't aware of this when it was first posted.

Your first post was absolutely splendid and I am looking forward to your next.
