John great point on playing and commentating. People don't how f**ing hard it is to do both while entertaining us couch potatoes.

@35:55, Rfa8 traps the queen I think.

These are the longest 1 minute games I've ever seen

Excellent work as usual John. I haven't been commenting much, but I am watching and supporting with a "like". My favorite game in the ICC 3-minute pool was vs Joop, what an intense game!

[loganchancellor]

someone please explain how 30.... Re8 attacking the queen is not winning the queen for rook and knight.

[samcod]

in the last game against Mideviel in move 34 I think Rxb4 was winning for you right ? you would have got another piece

[shervinasgari]

Hi John.
Just a tip. I believe you can use the computer to analyze after the game. Might be useful.

I wasn't a math major but I think you played 7 games, not 6 (+5 =2).

[amerhannoun]

[TrickStxRz]

John, personally I dont like the new upload schedule you have. I am very used to the daily uploads.. But I see it helps with the growth of your channel
