Warning: The final 14 minutes are STALL. You are MORe than welcome to skip it entirely.

I've been spending so much time playing as White and learning openings lately, I no longer feel comfortable as Black. I used to prefer playing defense. But its not like I got blown out early or anything, the game is equal so I certainly matched up just fine.

I'm starting to think I should post narrate these..... the video times will certainly drop, and I don't think I'll lose much in the way of narration either, if not gain something. So we'll see, I might do some of each in the future.

Oh that reminds me.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UghbkC26Ptc I'm in a contest for Chess.com until Jan 1st 2012, and I'm down by a fair chunk. So take a second to go click 'Like' on the vid and help me out =P (Its got a minute of cats, so its worth it)

~~~~~SPOILERS below, so don't read the rest of the description until either the 23 minute mark, or you're done or don't care or whatever~~~~~~



The game goes well for some time I think. After awhile it starts to look like a draw, things are DEFINITELY equal, if not a slight slight slight advantage to me.

But I'm really bad at the endgame. I don't know how or why I always screw it up, but I do. I took a game that should have been a draw in 99% of games and I'm just a 1% kind of guy and get blown out towards the end..... and it takes me 14 minutes to do so. I'm majorly bummed about that but thats what I get.
