Another great video. How does this content have less viewers than a guy screaming "HE SACKED THE ROOK"

[@danheismanchess]

Thanks! I guess many viewers like dramatics. I would love to insert a picture of me talking but for some reason my video capture software does not recognize my camera :( In any case, pass the word to your chess friends, thanks!

Great video! Just found your channel and have been binge watching your stuff for the last hour and a half haha. You explained the way calculation should be done in a very coherent manner, personally I think I'm quite decent at calculating various lines and visualizing sequences in my head, I kind of develop the thought process you explained through out the video by doing a bunch of puzzles this last year, but I'm sure newer players can learn a lot from this one.
By the way, on the groot a 6:24 after Bxg5 you mention the open nature of the position for white and that "we'd have to figure out how good that is" which was not the focus of the video, on that note do you have any videos on evaluating a position such as the one showed or evaluating positions overall?

Thanks! Glad these videos are able to help. I think some of these videos are unique in their ability to explain and diagnose thought process errors, time management issues, etc. Pass the word to your chess friends!
