Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoy my videos! The "hurried" speed in which I speak is due to the YouTube 10-minute limit, I'm always worried I won't make it, as you can see most of my videos are right at the limit. I create slower videos for my DVD's.

Wow, talk about a powerful diagonal! Great job, Alexandra.

[CHESSTERUK]

Smashing game and very informative, thank you.

[ChessQueen]

Yes it's true that ending was possible and very beautiful, but I was in a competition and saw certain victory with the move I played and that was good enough for me.

[neglectoid]

beatiful.... and yes i do wish the board was flipped i need to remember that attack

[ChessQueen]

Yes certainly there are very good reasons for that. Since it's a long discussion I will make a post very soon on my chess blog.

Subtitles is not the best solution, I'm working right now on an even better solution so you can follow both the game and the variations, should be ready pretty soon.

Hi :). Is there a way to show black at the bottom of the board (nearest us) when you play that color ( and win :) on your games? LOVE your videos thanks :D!

[ChessQueen]

First of all it's my channel, so I should be able to show any games I please, you don't have to look at them. Second I do show on this channel a game I lost against Antoaneta Stefanova in the 3-game final of the 2008 Mind Sports Games Blitz.

1:58 "Check, check, and mate." The title of your next book? ;-)

Nice attacking game. White is helpless! My repertoire is quite similar to yours so maybe this also will be another point for me;) I like the speed but I can understand that some people have trouble with it. Just watch it again then;)

[TrondheimEastSide]

you distracted him with ur beauty, thats why ya won u know!

[Drwhofan]

Alexandra, I don't like your two recent postings. They sound too hurried and badly edited. It's a minor problem though, since I enjoy hearing how you thought about the preperation, your thoughts in the games too. btw, I would like to thank you for an important thing. I quit playing chess ten years ago. I have regained my interest in chess because of your youtube videos. Cheers chessqueen!

Oh dear... Alexandra, OK, I know that are all this moves very logical to you, but anyway, your opponent needed more than one hour(!) for just one move and you jump from one to another like a butterfly... Please, have a mercy!

...slow elephants here... :)
