ICC-YouTube Chess Match - OzChess

**BearDrinkingBeer** · 10-20-2009, 11:02 PM

I recently issued a YouTube chess challenge to a player called KingsCrusher. We have finally gotten around to playing some games. Click here to see the games with live annotations. This was a dual-annotation match. You can also see the games from my opponent's point of view on his channel. The games were 5-minute blitz games played on the Internet Chess Club.

We're both rated about 2500, but the ICC blitz rating system is highly inflated. The strongest GMs go up to 3500.

I'm inexperienced at doing live annotations, so they aren't very extensive. Check it out and tell me what you think!
