found this channel a little while ago from /r/videos when this guy (a master) lost to a scholars mate
started viewing his other videos and his commentary and personality are just awesome

http://www.youtube.com/user/ChessNetwork

he doesnt seem to stream very often but he is right now so i figured id share

http://www.twitch.tv/chessnetwork

i guarantee even if you dont give a shit about chess that this guy will raise your interest, otherwise i guess this is just an @mos toilet

In bed, wish I could watch. I remember when you could play multiple yahoo games, I used to do that so I wasn't so bored in long games.

watching the simultaneous games was fun

the terminology he uses is hilarious
like when he advances a pawn to threaten a bishop, he says hes asking it a question
and just overall the way he makes the whole game sound so simple

he certainly does a good job at highlighting what his goal is in his current situation

i love how quickly and decisively he is about the plan, a certain square, a piece thats the goal. his mastery completely highlights my lack of.

That is basically my chess life. I bet I have over 50,000 games played at 1/0. Maybe a lot more.

I need to find a place to play, Yahoo! has died out and most 1/0 ids are bitters using Ytoics and other interfaces/engine combinations.

I'd enjoy getting back into that.

played a regular 1/0 game afterwards, back to 1500s? apparently the ratings earned in these mini tourneys are for some bullshit pay2play content stuff and clearly reflective of normal elos?
