Thanks for watching! The corrected video with the camera insert moved outside the board is th-cam.com/video/IqlRpfLB58A/w-d-xo.html. Another video on chess calculation is th-cam.com/video/cPGr5vW40xc/w-d-xo.html.
Hi Dan, I'm 37 and have been playing 9 months. Currently rated 1800 on lichess but I've plateaued a little. However, I have been watching your videos and am currently working on "is your move safe" and I'm starting to play like a monster 😁. Being older and thus more introspective helped me identify that my learning by playing rapid online had led to a sub-optimal thought process and thus your lessons were EXACTLY what I was looking for so thanks a lot!
Great, glad to be of service. I am almost your same age but reversed, 73. So when you write "being older..." :) Hope you also enjoy my chess tip of the day at twitter.com/danheisman and the free articles at www.danheisman.com.
GG ! Great lesson Dan thanks ! I would have played Ra1 + then capture the bishop or rook. Gotta love those stalemate tricks. I played an amazing game where I was able to finally escape then rook checks after many moves of dancing my king around the board until finally I could capture the rook with my knight allowing the opponents king to move because my own rook was on the seventh. Remember never give up looking for a way out of the stalemate tricks.

Great! as always!
Thanks, much appreciated. I hope to "fill the space" of improvement with videos to cover all, or at least almost all, aspects of improvement :)

Yes, sometimes the "avoid stalemate" idea makes for an interesting puzzle :)
Uh-oh: Facecam’s blocking a8 again. Great plot twist though!
Thanks. Yes, the camera is new so I've gotta watch that!
The camera insert is now fixed, thanks. th-cam.com/video/IqlRpfLB58A/w-d-xo.html
