    I had to push buttons, move the mouse and talk about the game.
    (making it up as I went along - you need to have a script If you are
    going to do this thing properly)

    Keith was also trying to give me advice through the earphones telling
    me to "hurr ...[text shortened]... think I'll stick to writing about the game.

    Hi - Thanks. it's just a piece of nonsense. The idea of analysing
    a five move draw appealed.

    When I got another idea we will do another but I fear Cnoob has
    been too kind in awarding chess content 2. It should be -2.

    Next time I'll aim for -4. 🙂

    Indeed. Everyone knows that 1. e3 is enough to open an escape square. 1. e4 is just exposing your pawn to attack and creating extra weak squares on d4 and f4.

    Yes - the game and draw took place. All the info in the header.

    White played 5.Bd3 and offered a draw - it was accepted.
    (I forgot to add 5.Bd3 in the youtube thing.)

    Hi greenpawn31.

    You should do one of your 'specials' on a game from The British.
    There has been some excellent games played.

    I'm staying with the blunders (those I can understand). 🙂

    But if you up for a wee challenge, do a Jack Rudd game, they are
    often interesting.

    Or maybe one of the lads on here can suggest a game.

    Do you do requests?

    I've been getting emails from YOUTUBE saying people has subscribed
    to YOUTUBE to view my account.

    I'm not too clear on these things - have people paid YOUTUBE to
    watch my daft vid?

    I always thought it free.

    I hate seeing chess players getting ripped off and always scream
    against it. Is this the ulitmate irony?

    i don't think that they pay pawn dude, they just subscribe in the sense that they will receive perhaps notification when you post a video.

    are you not listening to the ashes test? it is one of the few sports that one can listen to and study ones endgame principles at the same time, but poor England are in deep trouble, 50 for 4.
