This Week's ChessVideos Show: Vallejo the Attacker
Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 10:18PM
Francisco Vallejo Pons may not be a member of the world's absolute elite, but he's still a terrifically strong player with a very lively and combative style. On his day he can (and has) beaten just about everybody, often in spectacular style. In my ChessVideos show this week I take a look at the high points of two such games, and challenge the viewers to test their attacking skills against his. It's good practice, no matter how you do, and good entertainment as well. Have a look!
The show is free, as always (one-time free registration required), and will be available on-demand for the next month or so.

Dennis,
Your posts on that site are consistently much higher grade than any other poster. I really appreciate the extra analysis and time you put in and I appreciate that you think more of us than some other commentators - such that you think we can actually understand a forest of variations and tactics.
Too often, we're treated to pandolfini level remarks about a position based on optics when anyone has to know by now that chess is just a big set of exceptions to the rule.
Anyway, thanks for posting all this content for so long.
[DM: You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words. And don't worry about the "forest" - if you spend enough time in forests, you'll learn to find your way around them!]
