Today Roman kicks off a new series aimed at displaying some of the finest achievements, by some of the finest players, in the history of chess! Dzindzi's personal recounts of the events and descriptions are as timeless as they are priceless. Watch Roman's review of two of the more brilliant attacking games by Bronstein: The first ending with one of the most recognizable mating patterns in chess, and the second leaving you breathless... | Watch video

Witness another incredibly instructive game from Chess.com's own "living-video-author-legend," GM Roman Dzindzichashvili. His game against Browne, from the 1984 New York International, takes a sharp turn. At the end of several tricky variations, the "imbalance" of opposite colored bishops makes for a dynamic struggle. When Dzindzi puts the game away with the brilliant h5 breakthrough, Browne finds that his evaluation of the position was, well, wrong! | Watch video

Today GM Dzindzi reviews a game in which his opponent was, well, squeezed to death! His victim, GM Ljubomir Ljubojević, found himself slightly worse in a position that seemed simple, with very little "bite". However, after one small misstep (trading rooks and heading into the endgame), black found himself with no useful moves on the board... The only thing left to do was watch the Dzindzinator apply the squeeze! | Watch video

Today Dzindzi offers our members the most important advice of all time: DON'T make decisions based on your opponent's rating! There it is, you are now 300 rating points better! However, it would still make sense to watch this video, learn vicariously through another member's mistakes, and enjoy a sharp and crazy Gruenfeld Defense. Grab your popcorn and enjoy! | Watch video

Today Roman continues his video series on the discussion of his own best work! Two games: First a win over England's rising star (at the time) Jonathan Speelman; and second, a big "in house" win over his teammate, Viktor Kupreichik, that would determine the fate of the Soviet Olympiad team at the time... Enjoy! | Watch video

This weekend Roman not only gives us a sequel to his "Easy System vs Caro" video, but he also provides excellent commentary to a game between Chess.com's own IM Daniel Rensch and IM Irinia Krush from the SPICE Cup in November 2010. For players looking to increase their knowledge of Dzindzi's "special recipe against the Caro" variation, you will not be disappointed. Everyone else can enjoy the excitement of this high level and very imbalanced chess game. | Watch video

Today GM Roman Dzindzichashvili begins a new video series: The display and personal review of his own best games. With every post-mortem analysis, you can expect to hear a story of chess as only Dzindzi can tell it. Here we see his famous battle against the late Grandmaster Karen Ashotovich Grigorian -- where Roman makes "winning with a slight positional advantage" (a pawn minority on the queenside) look as simple to convert as a basic checkmate. | Watch video

Today Roman reviews a Member Analysis game for our enjoyment! Dzindzi starts off by providing some excellent tips and "positional advice" in regards to the modern day Kan Sicilian, then moves into a critical review of the "strategical misunderstandings" by both players. Though the black pieces in particular came under more "fire" and eventually went onto lose the game, the "Dzindzinator" found this battle extremely instructive on many levels, and we hope you will too... | Watch video

When a player realizes that his/her position in the middlegame is unstable and, perhaps, already un-savable -- where should they look? Well, a situation like that generally suggests you are being "punished" for your "crimes" in the earlier stages of the game. Opening the center too quickly; developing your pieces to bad squares; neglecting your opponent's threats... are all things that the Dzindzinator doesn't want to see in his student's games! | Watch video
