Bunch of live games

On this third video my opponent plays me out of book and ignores own development.

In the fourth game my opponent was fast and accurate and I was in big trouble.

The fifth game is finished fast.

In the sixth game my opponent sacrifices or drops a piece.

I save the seventh game by miracle.

On the eight game I rule.

Everything in right place at blitz

Out of a whim I recorded couple of live games on FICS.

On first one I trapped my opponents queen by miracle.

On this second one I had serious time advantage and hold enough material to mate and won on time.

The big fish that got away

Here’s a first video of two from my sunday game against NokiaTwenty.

EDIT:

I recorded and released the second part today.

Psychologically demanding

After some search I did finally get Windows Media Encoder back to my installation of Windows 7 so here's my first more relaxed time spent looking at game last night.

The problem with my previous video was that I seemed to rush to somewhere - I was bit worried how the camstudio will work out so I kind of didn't have the mental capacity to just breath and be in the moment.

Actually, maybe this is my best effort so far. Switching on houdini didn't seem to be a problem and even I missed that Nf6 does occupy e4 and some other things I did catch most of my ideas there.

For me the main theme here is how to deal with different kind psychological tricks your opponent does to distract you and I think here I kind of kept my composure, so way to go me. :)

Nakamura annotation

For my own curiosity sake I wrote down the great Nakamura comments on the Amber site. I hope everybody understands I am providing These without any interest to gain advantage. Certainly I take them down if somebody thinks they are not appropriate.

Best video annotation I've ever seen

Oh my! Aronian not only reveals grand master chessplayers thought process in totally digestive form, is totally honest. Must see!

Oversight

Last couple of days I've been looking for mates in three on my big database. This position comes from game Asger Thor Arnaison - Bjarni Hjartarson. The game was played 1988 in Reykjavik open. Hjartarson just took pawn on e4 with his queen and missed mate in two for white.



The oversight is following your own intentions and missing the holes in them.

It is interesting how these practice sessions affect my blitz play as I lashed out these really dubious attacks on my opponents king. Hopefully I get my balance back together later.
