| Aug-31-10 | | LIFE Master AJ: Jess:
Good news!
Today, I got many things done.
#1.) I downloaded (and installed) the "ZD Soft" video recording software. (I have already run a test video, it works fine.) It cost $39.00, but I figure its a good investment ... and its a tax deduction, anyway. (I use my computer mostly for business.) #2.) I installed Windows XP on my computer. When you personally install the "OS" (OS = operating system), you get to control what is (and is not) installed. (Initially, I did not allow many of the "ADD-ONS" ... as this would take up too much disk space.) However, since my new main drive is like 750 GB, I have plenty of room now. So I went back and installed "Windows Movie Maker." # 3.) I downloaded and installed Microsoft NET Framework software. # 4.) I downloaded and installed several video encoders, two of which were from Microsoft. (All of these were free!) ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** The bottom line? I am getting set up to make and record my own video's.
(No competition to you, though. Initially, I plan on doing just game video's and maybe video's telling the stories of some of the greatest tournaments of all time.) Of course, I have a lot of learning to do. I still have the e-mail that you sent me, the one with all the links to the good tutorials. Over the next few weeks, I will be watching those and also playing with the software ... trying to learn "the ins-and-outs" of this stuff. You probably deserve the credit for this, I might not ever had the motivation to try all this new stuff without your support and encouragement. - aj |

HEISMAN: <The logic “a guarded piece is not really guarded if the guard can be taken or attacked” is not emphasized in most beginner’s books.> Change "guarded piece" to "theatened square" and you have a perfect description of the mutual oversight of Kramnik and Shirov both missing the <REMOVAL OF THE GUARD> 25 ♖d1-e1!. |

| Sep-04-10 | | LIFE Master AJ: http://www.lifemasteraj.com/great_c... Jess: When you have a minute, you should really check out this game. (Its one of Karpov's best.) And I just took about 30 minutes to incorporate a few small corrections to this page. (I get e-mails all the time. When I get enough on one page, I take them out and do all the updates ... all at one time.) The story behind the story (my involvement with the game) is also VERY amusing! For example, I had finished analyzing this game and was working on the "formatting" stage ... which could take many months, especially if the game was VERY complicated. Anyway, I was in the formatting stage, when my work was interrupted by a small waether problem. (Hurricane IVAN!!!!!) |
