The Chess Mind

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.

My Latest ChessVideos Show: Attacking Alekhine's Defense
It's not meant as a serious theoretical treatise, so if you watch the video, play the line I cover and still lose to Mssrs. Carlsen, Nakamura or Baburin, it's your fault, not mine. That said, I think you'll be entertained by the games presented and might find a useful weapon for blitz and other quick games.

The show's free and can be viewed on demand, but why wait?

I really enjoyed those games. Very entertaining and, for me, instructive. I miss many opportunities to attack and the way you point out ideas from some of the positions (not just variations) is helpful to me.

Thanks.
