    Very well done man! Over the board is completely different and more challenging in my opinion.

      @TheyCallMeNis Bro facts, I haven't been playing chess much recently so I dropped to around 2050, but OTB I play like a 1600 lol

      @@Yute01 My OTB rating is higher (2099 vs 2018). Being old, I play better at longer time controls (and there is no possibility of cheating).

    Owen, great OTB videos. I enjoyed playing with you at Phoenix Chess Academy yesterday.
    Please give a shout out to Coaches Liulia Cardona and Maritza Hernandez at Phoenix Chess Academy. They are the coaches for most of those little kids.

    Yep the Alapin likes to attack the knights. Sicilian players hate it as a bonus. I've played quite a bit of it.

    So, better than last time. I always think the last round is the hardest - you get so much adrenaline if you're in the running for a prize.

    I’ve only watched game 1 so far, but if you continue to analyse your games to that depth each time, you will improve rapidly. You should have castled before launching dubious attacks in the middle of the board. Anywho, it was entertaining

    • @boomshanker61
      @boomshanker61 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I think you did very well, given your provisional grade. Onwards and upwards.
      You nailed it in game two when you send the whole game was played in 10 mins. Use your allocated time, or you might as well be playing blitz. When playing against speedy kids, the trap is to match them move for move. Resist it, do not rush and think through your moves.
      Well done
