    sadly I haven't figured out how to paste the version that I used to puzzle through this--I keep getting a static figure rather than one that you can play through :(

    i do have this: 

    2r2rk1/pp1q1pbp/4pnp1/3n2B1/3P4/1BN2Q1P/PP3PP1/3RR1K1 w - - 0 1

    It would be helpful--particularly with complex examples needing extended multi-move answers (e.g., the one posed at 4:45)--to have a link to boards or pgn to be able to work through the problems.

    This is not an issue for most of the pause-the video-and-figure-out-the-best-next-move challenges, but just think it would encourage and facillitate the pedagogical aims of magnificent instructors like IM Rensch when there are things that one might be good to noodle through.

    Along the same lines, I think it'd often be helpful to have pgn files that parallel the examples being discussed in the videos.

    1...h6 fails to Ne4. If black takes with 2...Nxe4, then 3. Rxe4 and the rook now will be free to take anywhere because of the discovered checkmate threat.

     

    However if 1...Rc8, the idea of Ne4 no longer works. 2. Ne4 Nxe4 3. Rxe4 and black can move his c6 knight, so if the rook decides to sac somewhere, then Rxc2 wins for black. If the rook just retreats, g6 and black only has a marginally worse rather than dead lost position.

    Let me suggest an improvement for Black in the last position.

    After 1.Qd3, instead of 1...Rc8, I think 1...h6 might be better, since this prevents Bg5 (or Ng5) once and for all.

    Of course, White may have other ways to break through now but still ...h6 is better than ...Rc8 (esentially a useless move, given how the position has evolved).

    Excellent video. He fills the commentary will real passion with a tinge of humour but displays a deep understanding of the game. I loved the way he dealt in concepts. Ok he does say you need to calculate but these examples show the need for a deeper intuative feel. First class!
