A Change of Pace - Chaos on the Board

Phylar

I am posting this game because all over the forums I am seeing fairly standard games being played. d2-d4 followed by the standard block or Knight manuever, four Knights, King's Pawn, center control, the core principles of chess. However, I think it is a good idea to get out of these mentalities sometimes to gain a fresh perspective. Thus the game above.

I recommend you attempt to analyze the game before you click on the video link below. Chances are you will gain much more if you go this route.

Here is the link to the video with the game fully analyzed and annotated by Waitzkin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygrb_yp-Hdc - Please remember to remove any spaces if there happens to be any.

*waves* Over heeeere! Not that anybody needs to comment, but more views would be wonderful! This is a good game to witness and go over.

Bumping this for the final time mostly for views. I think it is a good game to look at due to how different it is. Players have to be prepared to deal with positions that appear strange but are powerful.
