Hey guys,

First, I should introduce myself. I've been playing chess competitively for about 15 years, and competed scholastically at the national level (in the USA). I teach private chess lessons in my local area, and have even put on week-long camps in the past.

Well, that's the chess side. On the TeamLiquid side, I'm a longtime member here, and have been playing StarCraft since 2005. I made C- on ICCUP, and when SC2 came out, my best ladder result was Diamond league. I have played (and lost to) both Idra and Incontrol, the former in a TL tournament, and the latter at his house (LAN with Geoff -- jealous much?). That's my entire claim to fame, so I obviously won't be streaming StarCraft. Ha.

Anyway, I'm launching a live stream of chess commentary while playing really, really fast chess. I'm looking to provide something that's entertaining, yet mildly educational. All games are played on http://lichess.org, which is a beautiful, easy-to-use chess site that runs entirely in the browser -- check it out!

Feel free to post in this thread with any comments, feedback, suggestions, criticism, etc. I plan to mix up the content with commentaries, slower games, and whatever else people might find useful.

See you there!

Hello, just want to say, you seem like a really nice person from the one video I've seen you play Chess 960.

It really hurt to see you not make any moves for the first minute in your two minute games and then losing on time though D:

I used to play against my friends in high school, always being the best... Just started at Chess.com, and I'm at 700elo, was pretty sad Hoping to watch you play and geat better from it. If you ever are bored and would like to play while talking on TeamSpeak against me sometime and just give me some pointers, it'd be very nice. But I understand you wouldn't get much out of it, but if you ever feel up for it, just let me know. In the meantime, I'll be tuning into your channel here and there. Cheers!

We just finished broadcasting Episode 36 of ChessWhiz TV: Lessons on the Endgame. If you are looking to improve on your fundamentals of king-and-pawn endings, and how the rooks affect the endgame, you might want to take a look.

Here's the YouTube recording of the episode:
