since watching Dzindzi's videoes i have improved my games. during matches I comment like Dzindzi (with similar accent) bad moves from my opponents.
Thanks for your lectures.

Thank you for making this series of videos! I've just watched the first (and only, at the moment) four of them. These are amazing combinations!

" a very unusual idea is almost there in every of your game, it is up to you to look it good or bad " i will remember your quote Mr. Roman, thank you!

very nice video ... what a wonderful puzzle that was ... truly amazing artisic work! And the game example ... inspiring! I don't think I would ever spend 40 mins on that position but it paid off! Lesson learned. The background is that you must have sensed something out of place for black and then you had to find the key and you did.

I am in the process of making a puzzle book I have been for some time... I love composing "artificial" positions that the solution is beautiful - here are some links to my latest creations (feedback welcome )

I find after going through a period of creativity that my rating rises quicker than normal, this will obviously be because of pattern recognision and composing bizarre and unique situations!
Brilliant topic and great lecture Roman!

by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
A blast from the past! Today Roman brings us a brand new installment to one of his first, very popular video series here on Chess.com! Why is it useful to spend time working on compositions? Well, besides the obvious benefits of entertainment and art, GM Dzindzichashvili proves that "obscure" and "out of the box thinking" can be very useful in one's own games... Enjoy!

GM Dzindzichashvili was once one of the top players in the world. Born in Georgia, his chess first developed in the USSR. While still an International Master, he defeated opponents like Botvinnik and Bronstein before emigrating, first to Israel where he became a Grandmaster, and then to the United States. His accomplishments in the U.S. include two U.S. Championship first places, and one World Open. He has not played actively in tournaments recently, but has become even more famous perhaps in the U.S. for quality instructional materials, in particular chess videos!
