  I do KNOW what you're talking about.  So... you call it "wind milling".  Your wife know you wind mill Daniel?  Great video!  A little TMI, but good video.  Thanks.

Brilliant. Thank you. God bless you.

My second time watching this video. I'll be watching 4 and 5 twice too. Thanks Dan.

fantastic video

sorry... I didn't quite get that... did he say "checkalimamcshlomba" or "checkolimamichslomba",... (sorry if there's a spelling mistake)   fantastic video.

Thanks for the video

But what will do when there is a rook on c7and a bishop on d7

But anyway thanks for showing this video.

"Chompalicious, checkalinalaschlumba, checkmate-a-Rooski" Classic!

You are a blast in chess, You rule Danny!!

Danny, you mention in the first demonstration of Morphy's mate that a knight on d7 would require another repetition of the windmill pattern.  In that situation, couldn't black survive the attack by blocking with the knight after Rxf7+? (That's a question. I'm not asserting that Rxf7+ is a bad move.)  Black would lose some of his(/her) material advantage, but it seems like he'd still be in pretty good shape after ...Nf6, Bxf6+ Kg8, Rg7+ Kh8  white must retreat his bishop, giving black a chance to push his h-pawn, and live to fight another day.  Seems like he'd have pretty good winning chances up a queen for a bishop and two pawns with the passer on d3.  Am I missing something?  

Edit: I just realized that white can retreat the bishop to d4, trading it for black's queen and gaining a two pawn material advantage, but it seems like that would be short lived-- his rook on g7 is hanging, as are his c- an f-pawns, and it seems like black should be able to trade of the d3 pawn for a rook, so black should be fine.  However, given this possibility, it might be better for black to follow Rxf7+ with ...Ne5, Bxe5+ Qxe5, fxe5 Rxf7 instead, ending up a rook ahead of where he is in the other line.  I haven't analyzed enough to say with confidence that this is the better of the two options, but frankly, neither looks terrible for black to my admittedly rather untrained eye.  I still don't see a way for white to perpetuate the mating net in the face of either of these moves.  If it's there, I'd love to know where.

Edit 2: The comments I'm talking about start @ about 5:45.

wehttam4, do you mean Rg1? If so ...Rxg1+; Kxg1 Re1+; Qf1 Rxf1#

Why not Rb8 to trade rooks at 10:11? This must be really obvious

Thank you, this video is outstanding and I greatly enjoyed it!

morphy's mate will come in handy! thanks

can't see 1, 2, nor # 3 but it all sounds good.

This one got lost in the re-formatting.  I can't view it... :(

And there it is!

Rainy-Solingen, castling long at @ 19:51 is fine becuase the king is not moving through check.
