So BTB lets get to know you know personally if you don't mind. Im sure the over 300 viewers would like to know. What is your favourite music genre and who is your favourite music artist?

I want to thank chess.com for making this possible and for viewers like you for writing in and giving insight feedback. But, most importantly I just want ot thank BTB for doing this. You are a trailblazer as you are the first person to be interviewed on this show. And no the show is not done yet, I know you guys want more of BTB, so i will have a rapid question with him from questions from you guys and myself, just one word answers.

BTB are you ready for rapid fire questions? They are one word answers i will give you two choices and you have to pick one. Plus, viewers can comment and leave BTB with two choices aswell. SO ARE YOU READY?

I have a feeling that you move quickly BTB - I feel for the old guy (at your local club, I mean).  Youngsters who throw their pieces are terrifying. The younger they are the more terror they inspire. When they need a cushion to reach the board I sometimes get the shakes.

I, too, am a Morphy fan and one reason is that I can understand his combinations (after he has uncorked them, that is).  I also greatly admired Fischer's match play. He had the ability totally to destroy very strong opponents - 6:0 against Taimanov and 6:0 against Larsen for example.
