jessicafischerqueen: <Howard> and <Lee>I didn't get where I am today by looking gift horses in the mouth.
Good thing I'm not a veternarian.
Yes I submit my videos to <chesscafe>- I submitted three so far. Usually they list the credits in the description, but you may note it's Mark Donlan's son, Kyler, who has taken over video spotlight now.
When I submitted <Nezh> three weeks ago, Mark Donlan sent me an email (no really, he did) the nect day, which he'd never done before. He thanked me for the submission and informed me he'd "put it in the queue" which is what he did.
Maybe Kyler Donlan, who has taken over the duty at present, thought there wasn't enough room to list the credits in the description.
Luckily, there's a new "comments feature" at chesscafe.com video spotlight. So far on <Nezh> Part Two, there's a comment now from "Alan from the USA."
So I just now sent in a comment in reply to "Alan from the USA" that thanks him on behalf of me, Richard, Annie, BIG TUNA, canyonero, and Thanh Phan.
Now, if they don't post my comment it may mean they are planning to invite me to a conference. At that conference, I'll be assassinated.
At any rate I'm counting blessings. <chesscafe> views account for the single largest source of views for all three of the "talkies" we made so far.
I know from looking at the "viewing stats" page on youtube.
So like I said, Neither Mr. JFQ (Richard) nor I has ever failed to recognize the importance of not complaining to people who are helping us.
Finally, you'll notice that <chesscafe.com> has a PayPal icon on their front page and a reminder to send in contributions if you can. The website is a labor of love, and well worth supporting in my view. Look at the masthead and see all of the superb articles and columns by some of the best Chess analysts and Chess writers in the world.
Also, if you're going to buy a new chess book, program, or DVD, why not buy it from <chesscafe.com>? That's how they make their money.
You'll notice they don't do any annoying "third party advertising"- the only ads are for chess products they are selling at their site.
Which is more than can be said for the low rent policy at <chess.com>.
Every time I sign in at <chess.com> a Korean "Dating Site" POP UP shoves itself in my face.
Class will tell.
