The Chess Mind

By Dennis Monokroussos.
This is a blog for chess fans by a chess fan, one who loves the beauty of the game and wants to share it with those who are like-minded.
Yet the chess mind is not only a chess mind, and other topics, such as philosophy, may appear from time to time. All material copyrighted.
The new ChessVideos presentation is up! (Updated)
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.

Wow! Great game - almost like Tal was coaching you - sacrificing material for an attack and an unclear position. Plenty of room for both sides to fall off the cliff. The final position you left us with is crazy. I have spent over an hour and a half playing with it and have really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the rest of the story!
