For the 2nd video of the Curling Endgames series, let's look at how to play the final end of a game when you're tied but don't have the hammer. Patreon: / chessonice
Discovered your channel a couple days ago, and have devoured your content. Best strategic videos I've found by a long shot. Your chess background shines through with your ability to think several moves ahead, and the sheer number of examples and alternatives you cover in each video is staggering. I'm new to curling this year after being a TV fan for 20 years, and I am completely in love with the sport. I think it was only my second time sliding out of the hack at my club's Learn To Curl that I thought, "yep, this is exactly as fun as I thought it would be. I'm going to play this game for the rest of my life." I've skipped one time, and while it was understandably not good, haha, I definitely feel the desire to learn to do it properly. I love this kind of deep-dive content so that I've got a lot of information buried in my brain that hopefully can come out at the right time when I'm out on the ice. Keep up the great work, and good curling.
