The Chess Mind

This is must-see TV! If you haven't seen part 1 yet, check that out first, and then see the conclusion of my wildest, nuttiest, most preposterous tournament game ever! Here are the links:

Part 1
Part 2

It's free and available on-demand, but Americans especially shouldn't wait. Now that it's Thanksgiving, and what better way is there to feel grateful for the amazing game of chess than by looking at exciting and ridiculous battles like the one in the video?

For those who haven't seen any of the shows yet, they're free audio-visual presentations on ChessVideos.tv, and this week I've recorded my fifth such show for that site. In the show, very appropriately entitled "My Craziest Game Ever", I present the first part of my completely insane 1999 game against Lou Barcarola from the U.S. Amateur Team Championship. It's must-see TV, to coin a phrase, as is my ChessBase show tonight (which I keep plugging not to overhype the program, but to make sure those who plan to watch realize that it's now on a new day).

The ChessVideos presentations are free, require no special software and can be accessed on demand, and you can see all my shows on this page. (Mine are the "Master Lessons".)

UPDATE: I gave just about every link above, except the one that was relevant. The new ChessVideo presentation is here.

Best of all, it features every chess fan's favorite opening: the Berlin Defense. 37 minutes of fun for the whole family, and since it's completely free you'll get double your money back if you're not satisfied.

Here it is. Self-deprecating jokes (based on the opening) aside, I think it's worth seeing, but all of you will have to be the judge of that.
