  1. 3:48:18 i never really got that why is he saying that they will lose track of the figurs i mean they can fucking play blind

  2. Dear Tania, it's not DOM-in-gwezz, it's dom-ING-guess, "guess" exactly as in the word "guess" – silent u and no z sound. Also, the last syllable of Kosteniuk is -yuk NOT -uik!! "yu" is a Russian letter, "ю". Also, the phrases "on the board" and particularly "a move like" are particularly useless, grating filler phrases you'd do well to avoid. "e4 played on the board!" – well yes, where else?! And when you say "a move like g4", there practically never is any move "like" g4. But we learn the phrase isn't meant to mean anything.

    I was overjoyed to see Peter and you had taken over from Jovi and Ginger, who, while each wonderful, unique, adorable icons of the chess world, shouldn't be commentating on top level chess while there are candidates like you. Peter is a commentating marvel, it must be a dream come true working beside him! I've enjoyed many, many hours of you guys, looking forward to many more, thank you! Tania, love your energy and tactical acumen. And hair. Best wishes. 🙂

    p.s. Oh while I'm here, one for Peter I've noticed in the past. "Analysis" vs its plural "analyses". It's not the usual "-es" plural, but sounds the same as "seas", i.e. rhymes with bees, trees, knees. aNALysis, aNALyseas. Diagnosis, crisis, synopsis, oasis, synthesis, thesis, hypothesis, axis, and nemesis, also from Greek, form plurals in the same way.
