+ChessNetwork I don't just randomly fall asleep. I have to decide to sleep, which is very difficult because the videos are so entertaining, and chess > sleep unless you're sick, like I am currently, but I just woke up so every thing's fine :D
Jerry, discovered your videos back in 2010 with your commentary on the WCC games. Been a huge fan ever since. Loved the Warzones and other bullet tournaments along with every other video you have made. I finally registered on UA-cam so I could give you some "likes" and leave you a comment: THANK YOU for MANY MANY hours of entertainment and education! Best chess commentator on UA-cam by far! A day without a ChessNetwork video is like a day without sunshine. :)
Imagine Jerry's rating if he learned some openings by heart... obviously it's more instructive this way, but it feels like you reinvent the wheel in every game and end up premoving the endgame.
I am curious why you didn't look at giving check with the queen? Move 16. I looked at the computer, and the line it gives involves winning a minor piece. Your line you focused on still shows an important factor: That pawn lives!!! Yay!
Since white has a free capture with Bxf2 Jerry would be down two paws return for the exchange. Overal I think bishop + pawn for a knight is objectively a better trade - but it's hard to say.
+rossschcheese I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he is better at time management when he is not providing live commentary for a game. He does seem to spend a lot of his time explaining why he is doing something or not doing something when without commentary he would have probably just moved. Could he play much better if he provided more sparse commentary? Maybe. But personally, I watch this channel much more than others because of the live commentary.
why did you castle Jerry? it seemed to me that staying in the centre was safe. the centre was closed, and a quick b5 and c4 would have been to your favor (i am writing this without having seen the end of the game)
Jerry when are you recording these? I see you online all the time on lichess and want to play a classical game with you (I'm about 2120 on lichess). Can we play next time if I'm online and challange you?
A bishop on the opposite colour of its pawns is very valuable because it covers the squares the pawns don't cover and the pawns cover the rest and the bishop can move freely, a bishop blocked in by its own pawns isn't very valuable since it only serves to defend pawns
Hi Mark. I haven't competed in over the board tournaments in about 5 years now . I've acquired 2200 or more rating points in the USCF (United States Chess Federation) which puts me in the Master category. A level below that is Expert (2000-2199)... Class A (1800-1999)...Class B (1600-1799) etc...
+Gnwekor Agrwshe I care to differ on that point. Jerry's understanding is at a GM level but whether he could handle the day in day out grind is another issue. I have a 2160 Fide friend who routinely beats IMs and GMs in rated over the board play. And I beat him regularly. But I can't handle more than one good tournament game because I get exhausted after the first round. :-)
+Gnwekor Agrwshe Tell me, what rating was the strongest player you have beaten in a tournament rated game? Do you even have an official over the board rating? Only good players can judge other good players. Saying that something is stupid is not an argument. But it is does demonstrate that it is not worth continuing the argument with YOU.
It's so annoying watching Jerry use half his time on the opening. We don't need to know EVERY single thought in his head. I wish he would save time and explanation for later in the game.
+Beancrew49 If you know all the opening they I guess it's not great but this is what I like about his commentary...you can feel him going through the gears :) Then it comes to "I can't calculate it all", "I just wanna do this" & "this is instinct" that is the gold (and very comforting to me to see the same crazy thoughts I have but in a good player) but getting there slowly makes it all the better for me :) Jerry delivers chess like good sex! xD
+Beancrew49 Are you kidding? It's invaluable to hear each of his thoughts. The point isn't really for him to win these instructional games but to teach us. Speaking and playing likely lowers your strength by up to 200 points.
+sanekabc I'm not saying he shouldn't talk and teach. I'm saying that he should use his time more evenly during the game so that we learn about each phase of the game. We don't usually get to hear his thoughts near the end of the game because he's always wasted so much time early that he's just playing on increment and we don't hear his strategy.
do you burn time intentionally for personal thrill?
Jerry: *hovers the mouse around squares and keeps talking about the idea behind it*
Me: (looking at the running clock) COME ON! MAKE A MOVE
Chess > Sleep
+ChessNetwork What a cruel insomnia.. what a cruel insomnia! Haha, XD! I love you! :D
+lin zhao What's interesting is that watching these videos puts many to sleep. :D
+ChessNetwork And watch out for scholars mate while sleeping. :D
+ChessNetwork I don't just randomly fall asleep. I have to decide to sleep, which is very difficult because the videos are so entertaining, and chess > sleep unless you're sick, like I am currently, but I just woke up so every thing's fine :D
+ChessNetwork that's actually true. when I'm tired I just put on some chess commentary and fall asleep super easily ^^

+Gary S Thank you for the compliment, and for your years of support Gary. It's appreciated. :D
+ChessNetwork I've been watching your videos and those are really awesome! You have a new supporter, hope you keep doing this great job!
Jerry, were you taking time control lessons from Lazy Stockfish version :) I almost have a heart attack watching you play like that
Imagine Jerry's rating if he learned some openings by heart... obviously it's more instructive this way, but it feels like you reinvent the wheel in every game and end up premoving the endgame.
I wasn't planning to watch a 45 min video but you kept on the viewers on their toe, Jerry! Awesome ending.
Watching Jerry play is sort of like watching a movie. It gets very exciting just before the very end. :)
This was an edge of the seat game. Can barely believe you pulled that rabbit with the rooks
No I need to sleep, I have an exam tomorrow! But I cant say no to a Chessnetwork video... why Jerry why!
+Matt 12:03 in my country :D :D
Another well-done commentary ! Thanks Jerry. Keep up the good work for those of us who learn & appreciate your time & skills.
Yo Dope video it had me glued keep em coming!:)
I was almost sure you would lose this time. But as always, buzzer beater.
I am curious why you didn't look at giving check with the queen? Move 16. I looked at the computer, and the line it gives involves winning a minor piece.
Your line you focused on still shows an important factor: That pawn lives!!! Yay!
yeah.. your middlegame ideas and falling into time trouble.. love both :D
Jerry's endgame is always amazing :]
Putting your blitz skills to great use
Thanks, Jerry. You got me back into chess after a few decades. Am ashamed of all my blunders but what the heck. :-) Thanks.
No Jerry, it wasn't an ugly game, it was very good actually
Lol at the mate. But regardless, good win, Jerry.
You're train of thought was a little off. But I could see how somewhat backbreaking it was to evaluate every second of the game.
28:13 why can't you fork the rooks with the knight? Is there something I'm missing?
+Lorenzo Stroe he prolly didnt see it
however one could argue that that bishop in that particular position is worth more than the weird a1 rook
i agree, I would have taken the bishop even after seeing the fork.
Since white has a free capture with Bxf2 Jerry would be down two paws return for the exchange. Overal I think bishop + pawn for a knight is objectively a better trade - but it's hard to say.
Gg Jerry, thoroughly enjoyed that game.
he felt the pressure and died. Nice work Jerry! cold blood until the end uh? ;)
Jerry, would you say that your time management skills could use improving?
+rossschcheese well hey he won so he must be doing something right
+rossschcheese I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he is better at time management when he is not providing live commentary for a game. He does seem to spend a lot of his time explaining why he is doing something or not doing something when without commentary he would have probably just moved. Could he play much better if he provided more sparse commentary? Maybe. But personally, I watch this channel much more than others because of the live commentary.
+Vendavalez absolutely, it's great watching a live commentary. It seems like we're playing together, once he briefly shows his thoughts while playing.
I always felt like Jerry uses more time early, when it's more complicated, and goes blitz mode as it simplifies.
Am I all wet, here?
why did you castle Jerry? it seemed to me that staying in the centre was safe. the centre was closed, and a quick b5 and c4 would have been to your favor (i am writing this without having seen the end of the game)
If I have learned anything from Jerry,
Pigs on the 7th is almost always a good idea
the best part was at the end when jerry typed f in the chat
Jerry when are you recording these? I see you online all the time on lichess and want to play a classical game with you (I'm about 2120 on lichess). Can we play next time if I'm online and challange you?
Hi Jerry, a good video as usual. *cheers
How often do you play on lichess.org site.. Do we have a chance to play againts you?
Hi, can someone tell me how I could translate "pawn undermine" in french ?
Affaiblir ?
Big lesson for me: having 4 s left on the clock is not a reason to start panicking and stop thinking
What's your rule of thumb when deciding which bishop is more valuable? thanks
A bishop on the opposite colour of its pawns is very valuable because it covers the squares the pawns don't cover and the pawns cover the rest and the bishop can move freely, a bishop blocked in by its own pawns isn't very valuable since it only serves to defend pawns
+Uchiha Madara Thank you very much. I will remember this forever.
Thanks for the great video Jerry :)
+Olivier Nouchi And thank you for watching Olivier. :D
during early midgame i kept wondering why u didnt bring ur h-rook to the e file :S
Was shocked You pulled it off
Wow intense last minutes. Gg
Do you ever compete in real chess tournaments? How do you earn the rank of NM? I don't really know much about that side of chess.
Hi Mark. I haven't competed in over the board tournaments in about 5 years now . I've acquired 2200 or more rating points in the USCF (United States Chess Federation) which puts me in the Master category. A level below that is Expert (2000-2199)... Class A (1800-1999)...Class B (1600-1799) etc...
+ChessNetwork you should go for international master, u beat them quite a bit online and have improved quite a bit, in my opinion.
+Gnwekor Agrwshe I care to differ on that point. Jerry's understanding is at a GM level but whether he could handle the day in day out grind is another issue. I have a 2160 Fide friend who routinely beats IMs and GMs in rated over the board play. And I beat him regularly.

+Mark Singerman he would loss on time management unfortunately -_-
Don't ignore 16...Qb6+ darnit!
Funny in bullet/blitz u can see cleary which and when need kill good bishop and that time u lost the opportunity, gg!
you are amazing Jerry
:D
WOW! Jerry u are a champion!!!! OMG 10'' sec to play! u rule
Don't want to fall asleep but really want to watch? Speed it up to 1.25
Love ya Jerry
+Isaac De La Cruz It's mutual Isaac. :D
gg Jerry
PIGS! :)
It's so annoying watching Jerry use half his time on the opening. We don't need to know EVERY single thought in his head. I wish he would save time and explanation for later in the game.

yes but all his preparation allows him to use the opponent's time to plan his moves later in the game.
28:14 Wow, way off.
Gg jerry
move 15 should ave checked first
