Too bad I can't get this to work with my iPad, looks like a good video.

THanks ..

nice video, and i likes the humor

wonderful video, and very funny.  I love dry humor.  Worth watching several times, for both reasons.

Outstanding presentation, Sam. As a listener, I felt very satisfied when you were done explaining the basics of the example. Clarity and patience were the aspects of this video that reminded me that you are an outstanding teacher.

 Good position to understand.In fact I just studied this position (same ideas)a few days before watching the video yet found Sam's explanations confusing though I find his explanations of his own games in his other videos fascinating. Maybe I am weaker at endgames and stronger in complex middlegames but the explanation I think is that Sam is using too many words to describe simple stuff.I think in such videos while explaining many simple ideas(The way Sam describes it seems as if it is more complex than it actually is),he should not speak so many words.Maybe he could watch Dejan Bojkov's Berlin series to understand what I am saying.

Fantastic vid Sam. Keep it up mate......helping lots of people improve their chess with these sort of lectures.

A very technical draw there, hard to see. I enjoy these endgame lectures much more than full games great job Sam

TQ SIR...

cool video i saw that you played against kingscrusher a few days ago and lost due to i queen sac lol it failed :)

Thank you for cleary that up. After all we want to keep our GM's in the  highest esteem they deserve, playing chess at that level is not easy. I apologise for doubting your good manners and will enjoy unreservedly your presentations in the future.

Hi everyone,

To those of you who mentioned eating, I actually was only chewing a cough drop- I had a head cold and it was the only time I had available to record for the next couple weeks. I tried to be as discreet as possible, but it seems I wasn't perfect. Sorry about that, I figured it would be better than coughing all the time.

I'm glad somebody mentioned that because I wasn't quite sure at first. Eating while giving instruction is very annyoying and shows a lack of respect for the student. I had to actually force myself to listen since the information was very helpful and for that I thank you.

great video snacking no problema

I love the talking chess pieces : ) I really learned a lot here

especially your comments about keeping a bad position the same

instead of trying to change it.

Ok vid but dont like to hear you eating whilst talking

looking foward to the next videos

Wonderful defense tactics. Thanks!

Great video Sam.  Thanks for your insight.

Good stuff, thanks..
