      Came here to comment the same thing. In all fairness, there's a lot of great chess minds on YT who are providing commentary. And i'm sure most of them would have cramped even more and even deeper explanations into this video. But most of them would have lost me blazingly fast. It seems like she's explaning at 20% speed while also avoiding to many jumps and shortcuts. Has to feel quite awkward because i'm sure she also could cramp way more into this - but by intentionaly slowing it down instead of just verbalizing the natiural way of thinking she's reaching a whole other audience.The Voice-Over-Style is very much needed - thinking fast and explaning slow seems impossible. But it also adds such a soothing dimension to it - i really like it.

      The first time I saw the voiceover of players with footage of the game was in the BBC series, The Master Game, which ran from 1976-1983. It looks very clunky now, but it was highly innovative at the time, attracted a healthy viewership and I, for one, was glued to the screen. Unlike in the video, the actual game was played in private and then reconstructed in the studio later with the voiceovers (of both players) recorded immediately after the game. With modern video and computer technology I think this form of presentation is potentially an excellent way to promote chess and also gives a great insight into the thought processes of players. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_Game ruclips.net/video/nLNAUakH8l0/видео.html

    The voiceover is great. Many narrations sound like reading out of a chess manual. But I think the goal should be to get the viewer as close as possible to reading the mind of the player at the board. You do a very good job of that here. It makes complicated positions easier to understand.

    I was a bit shocked you didn't know Kayden. I LOL'd when he said, "About 1800." A good lesson is to always do a background look at all names listed at the tournament. Note down those rated higher than you, and keep this paper in your pocket. Along with any quick notes you have time to research (positional or tactical player, openings, etc.). So you play accordingly.
