Very valuable!

Nice job Mark, I enjoyed your lecture. I'll check out your bibliography as well.

Super good lecture!Thank you!It was feeling that it was a  life chess lesson,not on line!

I find the technique of asking endless, unanswered questions with reference to some written material which must be checked later to be quite distracting.  I finally stopped watching the video prior to the answer.  The video would have been very instructive had the questions been answered as they were asked.  I would have liked to have stopped the video, thought about the material while it was fresh in my mind, and come up with my answer prior to continuing the video. I will skip the rest of what I find to be a frustrating approach to the material.

Very instructive, thank you.

Please no homework , You are too good to explain , but please make it same time during the Vedio otherwise no gain .

Thanks

very good instruction - looking forward to more

The answers have been posted.

To answer the cadaz question, Bxb3 is usually not a good idea since it permanently gets rid of a defender of the white squares that black has already weakened with the early e7-e5 move.

hi could you please answer my question?

Great video, hope to see more from you. I am USCF 740... but today I used these tips and both drew with a 1770 and beat a 1487!

Great video!

These are great features on chess.com. Real value. i liked the four step process of inspect, infer, check and decide.

Answer the questions in the "Article" companion to this video, here:

Don't answer them in comments to the video itself.  Thanks.

I will post the "master template" answer in that article soon.  The next video will appear in about a week.

I really like this video and this is a great way to teach.  I would like a *.pgn file of the game so I can I answer your questions.  Please do more of these videos.

Very good.  Thanks for this.

I agree with others, this is an outstanding edition to Video Lessons.   I'm starting to feel like I'm enrolled in chess university, and Mark is the new Professor on campus.....lol  This is really good stuff!

Chess.com just keeps getting better and better.   Thanks Mark, definitely looking forward to more of your lessons.

                 Love the different teaching styles here on chess.com and asking questions definately gets us to think and actively participate,I also like the pause method myself and the get the answer as we will not remember without going back to the video which makes a short video double the length! I did love the sentence slides which breaks things down nicely! And also loved the comments of how it really takes hard work to get better! Thanks so much and Ilook forwar to the series.

Outstanding video Mark! I really like your question & answer style to make me think about what is happening in the game. Also, your pace is very good. I plan on reading your article to see if the answers match my ideas. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
