Road to 1400 Commentary

Any feedback

The draw is annoying, but what is more important is how you played, and overall you outplayed him.

Yes, very annoying. I kind of agree with you and yes I did outplay him. Thanks for watching it and leaving a comment.

I think you are doing a superb job!! It's great that you comment on games while you are playing against equally-rated players. But please, with all due respect, never devote videos to explain openings, etc, or master games to beginners - just focus on doing commentary during your live games as this is a very beneficial way for those moderately less-rated to learn chess from you.

One thing is that you shouldn't end the video after the game like that, but to provide a summary and walking through the game you've just played, talking about the main ideas that occured, and if you notice any mistakes to mention them. I think this would be helpful to the others watching as well as yourself.

Thanks for your warm hearted responce, In regards to openings I don't feel that I "devote" video's to them I just merely outline the important of centre control and even say myself that I don't know how to play a lot of openings. In the past I have done some sought of analysis on the games but I feel that I don't want the video to drag on too long, however I feel that I should now start doing that again. I'm glad your enjoying my video's and thanks for taking the time out of your day to comment.

why not Kf7 instead fo Kxf8?

What part of the video are you referring to?

the end

If you paste the PGN in the YouTube description box, we can give you move numbers.

I think it's a great thing to do to improve one's game.  Instead of bxa7 you had several other tasty options.. Rxa2 or probably best: Nd5 followed by Qb5.. he can't castle and you can kill him at your leisure. You're still winning of course but that Kxh6 nonsense isn't needed.. you have to get your other pieces out with moves like Ra2 and Ba6.. seek to trade off queens.. not go after minor pieces.

Thanks again for watching it!
