ChessWhiz Live Stream

You should make an announcement on the forum ~20 minutes before you start the stream. It's easy for people to forget where and when something is going to happen.

Also, be prepared for the new tournament structure to be rolled out later today. ;)

Good luck with your future streaming.
Ah, darn! I missed it. Yes, please remind us before in the forum! I won't miss next one.
We had a great turnout! Thanks to everyone for tuning in. Video via a webcam is now integrated into the stream, which is a nice touch. I'm still learning how to operate it, though -- I spent a small part of the previous cast showing my own face instead of the chessboard, by mistake. :-)

If you're looking for slower games, check out Episode 4 in the archives (at http://ustream.tv/channel/chesswhiz). This time, we played and analyzed several games with "3 1" and "4 0" time controls.

Episode 5 will be a tournament marathon: we're casting the Monthly Bullet and Monthly Blitz tournaments, back-to-back, for a 3-hour extravaganza! Tune in on Saturday, starting at 3pm GMT, same as the usual time, to get in on the action.

See you there!
Well, Episode 5 was exhausting, but a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking out the next monthly tournaments in May, when they come around. Congratulations to Takeda for winning the Monthly Bullet, and to deaf_doorknob for taking the Blitz!

Episode 6, on Tuesday (3pm GMT), will be a day to unwind. Breakneck time controls, no holds barred. The pieces will fly!
Last episode, we got a chance to check out my fancy keyboard and mouse, and play around a bit with the Rubik's Cube. Good times. As usual, if you missed it, you can find it in the archives at http://ustream.tv/channel/chesswhiz.

Episode 7 will be on Thursday at 3pm GMT, and we'll dig in to some Chess 960. As a bonus, I'll remove the rating requirements on my game seeks, so viewers will get a chance to play me on stream!
