I recently launched a new chess channel, where I stream really, really fast chess with commentary. Episodes are currently aired three times per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 3pm GMT (that's 8am PST, 11am EST). I'll be casting a bullet tournament of one-minute games on Saturday. Hope to see some of you there! Stream link: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/ChessWhiz | ||

 I had a pretty funny/nice win today in a lightning/bullet game (1 min each, no increment). I was white: ![[image loading]](http://www.chessvideos.tv/bimg/61uq2b7hzu1t.png) He played 1. ...h5. I replied with 2. Qh4 and he went 2. ...Ng6. I was pretty happy to immediately find 3. Nxe6+ given the time pressure (and the fact that I'm still a beginner :p): ![[image loading]](http://www.chessvideos.tv/bimg/3my1fobkncru.png) 3. ...dxe6 4. Bxc5+ and here he blundered with 4. ...Qxc5 (he should have moved his king, but I was already at ~+4), which allowed 5. Qd8 1-0 ,-) | ||

1.a3 e5 2.e4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bb5 Bc5 5.Bxc6 dxc6 6.O-O O-O 7.Nc3 Re8 8.d3 Bg4 9.h3 Bh5 10.Be3 Qe7 11.Bxc5 Qxc5 12.b4 Qd6 13.Qd2 Rad8 14.d4 Bxf3 15.gxf3 Qxd4 16.Qxd4 exd4 17.Na2 d3 18.cxd3 Rxd3 0-1 I had no chance to win vs him so I figured I'd play a fun opening. Don't usually play 1 min so I took too long to think and lost on time, also could have lost a knight when I played 12. b4, which I think he was just being a nice guy in not taking it. | ||

...wtf? How can this corrupt Russian politician, lover of dictators, and friend of extra-terrestrials be the president of FIDE for the past 20 years. How is voting for FIDE done? I thought it would be a relatively apolitical organization... | ||

I would hope that chess stood for something more and that there is so little $$ in chess that corruption would be minor. I guess the fact is that there are something like a 150 FIDE member countries and you can easily bribe a lot of the poorer countries to vote for you. This world sucks. | ||

I am playing the sum of my games between a certain age, and in retrospect, look at all the mistakes that I might make. He calls out how mundanely strategically the app is playing, but I don't know how I would handle playing against myself like that. | ||
