LaughingVulcan's Chess Blog » Videos http://laughingvulcan.org/blog A Club Player and TD's Observations on Chess Sat, 23 Apr 2011 22:02:50 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Another week, another video! :) http://laughingvulcan.org/blog/2010/03/21/another-week-another-video/ http://laughingvulcan.org/blog/2010/03/21/another-week-another-video/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:48:28 +0000 LaughingVulcan http://laughingvulcan.org/blog/?p=594 If you’ve posted a comment in the last five days and it hasn’t appeared, I’m working through the backlog of what Akimset has tentatively classified as spam. I’d warn spammers not to bother (again!) but it wouldn’t do any good. For those out there otherwise posting comments, I hope there

Aside from that, I got by the club on Saturday and played a couple of games. One of them is now immortalized on video here. ( http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6623 ) It is a good object lesson on why pawns and their protection can be a valuable thing in a game.

I’m hoping in this next week to resume updating the blog two or three times a week. Which probably means Murphy’s law will kick in and somehow try to prevent that. But here’s hoping… ;)

So here’s the link over to it. ( http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6609&p=50084#p50084 for the link-impaired out there.) Like Tranya in the Star Trek episode The Corbomite Maneuver, it’s just for entertainment and not a “serious chess video.” But making these videos are one way I enjoy my chess, and I hope that watching it will help you to

Enjoy Your Chess!

The video location is here, and the game referenced (an Ammonia Opening) is now up here.

Enjoy your chess!

KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!)

I went ahead last night and did analysis on my losses. My most serious blunder of the tournament is now immortalized over at chessvideos.tv – have a look! Not quite as bad as nuclear holocaust, but a close analogue over the chessboard.

And life goes on… time to do other Sunday/Sabbath things now. :D

Enjoy your Chess!

Rather than upload to YouTube (and hit their 10-minute limit and have to split every one of them up,) I’ve been posting exclusively to chessvideos.tv – a site that I do have to get a link to in my sidebar! ;)

My two videos cover a loss I had and a draw that I took. Those two are available at these links:

My second video – QGD in tournament play

And my third video – you get to see what I look like in addition to a draw in a Sicilian.

I’m no expert, by any means. Sometimes I might use Fritz 12 to help confirm my analyses, but mainly I’m just doing these videos for fun. It’s a great way to enjoy my chess, and in watching them I hope you’re able to

Enjoy your Chess!

(After uploading, I discovered that what sounded like loud audio to me is really extremely quiet.) I also learned that, like my posts, I can go on and on without intending to. So, without further ado (and because I’ve got to get to bed so I can work the floor at tomorow’s tournament,) here’s both parts of the video:

Enjoy your Chess!
