Amen to Gothamchess , my first brilliant move :D

And which move is it?

And what does that have to do with Rozman?

Engine usually doesn't define a move as brilliant unless you sac a piece, and I didn't see such?

He means that you have to watch Rozman in order to be able to blunder two pawns within the first ten moves.

So I guess 0-0 must have been the "brilliant" move, but that goes against the definition. Almost every move wins in that position, so no "brilliant" labels should be awarded. But who knows.

Levy seems to strike a chord with me in his videos on Youtube...he has a way of presenting material I understand even though I sometime have to watch a particular opening video many times. I connect well with Anna Cramling's youtube lessons too. Most of the other youtube instructors lose me after just a couple of moves and I come away with nothing.

Most chess books are the same way..for me, I really dont get much out of them. I learned the game reading and working through Bobby Fischer Teaches chess. The only other chessbooks I found useful are Reassess your Chess and the Amatuers Mind, by Jermey Silman and the Winning Chess series of books by Yasser Seriwan

Just remember, Knowledge with out application is useless, so get out and test what you learned. Chess is an individual sport, you win alone, and only have yourself to blame when you lose.
