Beating the Grandmasters - OzChess

**BearDrinkingBeer** · 07-19-2009, 10:45 AM

I have started a new YouTube Chess Series called Beating the Grandmasters. The purpose of this series is to show that grandmasters are quite beatable and are definitely not invincible against club players. Includes analysis of some of my own ICC games.

What do you think?

I watched the first three and I think they are quite good and the third was a good opposite coloured bishops endgame analysis. I also liked at the end of the video, "Here my opponent forfeited on time but his position isn't great either" down two queens a bishop and a pawn with mate being delivered the next move I'd have to concur with your analysis.

Sorry, I wanted to keep my ICC handle private, at least for now. But my name is Zhigen Lin (FIDE: 2146).

I see you have a site devoted to chess.

Mind if I put it up in the Chess.Links on the homepage?

lol, it's on hiatus just for the moment while I'm busy trying to beat more grandmasters. But, feel free to visit my active series Beating the International Masters. First game features Rujevic-Lin, Elwood Open 2006.

That is a great series you have there. When will there be more, I think I will have to subscribe to you.

Great stuff, keep it coming!

Thanks for the feedback. I just beat two GMs recently (last week) and have uploaded them. Of course, I'm not good enough to continually beat GMs frequently, but occasionally, I land a defeat.
