I have decided to use this thread as a handy place to post videos, if anybody else wants to chime in I'm cool with that but it's all good either way.
Today I watched this video: https://youtu.be/zuQPCmIaQg8
In it MatoJelic discusses a game Mikhail Tal played against Jan Donner in the late 60s. Donner, playing black, was two pawns ahead when he asked Tal for a draw. Tal refused the draw offer and obliterated Donner in style. MatoJelic's commentary is very informative and you really do get more out of it if you pause to evaluate the position.
Hi guys,
In my quest for slow improvement I have been watching a lot of chess videos. I was thinking -- since a lot of us are in the same boat here -- that it might be a good idea to either start a thread discussing certain chess-related youtube videos (say, helping each other work out why a certain position is better or simply recommending a new video) or even start a Groovy Gang youtube account so that we can favourite videos / collect them in playlists (this has potential to be a little complicated).
If anyone is interested, at the moment I am really enjoying watching Ben Finegold's lectures at the Chess Club and Scholastic Centre of Saint Louis (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVWaFpMwtaGiBxi79IUqnqn67WF5g5PR4)
