    @Danny. Just to be clear: this (typically outstanding) video from Sam is not accessible from my iPhone three, yet all previous videos remain viewable. So the new software must apply to only this video,and to all iPhones, not just iPhone four, or so I deduce. While here, could I request a 'return to start of game' button on the app. Oh, and more live session videos please:)

    @Diogenes28 -- No, this video has never been seen anywhere else. Sam has done USCL games reviews before, but this game was only played a few weeks ago, so a double posting is not possible...

    @yimin123 -- We are aware of this issue. It is a compatibility problem with the NEW Iphone software and our app; however, the videos are still playing on the OLD Iphone software and our app. Of course, we are working to fix it and we apologize...

    Great game from both players here!!!

    Why do I feel like I have seen this video before by Sam? Hmm, I must have seen it somewhere else unless this is a double post from an earliar video? Probably my mistake.

    That Joel Benjamin is good. And Sam has the courage to feature a game which he lost with the white pieces.

  • US Chess League vs. GM Benjamin

    by GM Sam Shankland

    IM Sam Shankland brings us the first in a video series designed to give an "inside look" at what happens on Board 1 of the US Chess League. Though Sam lost this battle against the former US Champion, GM Joel Benjamin, his team went on to win the war that night... and the next night...and the next! Did Chess.com somehow, someway know that New England could and would eventually go all the way? Nah, we got lucky! Lucky for us, we get these great videos from Sam!

  • GM Sam Shankland

    Shankland

    Sam learned chess at age 11 from the Berkeley Chess School program. Within four years, he had become a National Master, and two years later, he became an International Master when he tied for first in the world u-18 championship, a result unmatched in the last decade of international play by American players. At 20, he has already played in several U.S. Championships, placing 3rd in 2011.
