Thanks for the coverage, on the greek gift sometimes find it difficult to play due to the nuances and lack of quick finish if opponent plays accurately.
The only time I have played the Greek Gift was in the Australian Junior Championship when I beat the eventual winner. He had never seen it before, so didn’t try to avoid it. He may have been a stronger player than me, but I knew more about the game than he did.

Whats wrong with Rxc6 instead of e6 at 10:40? doesnt that just win the Bishop?
I did indeed enjoy that.

Good photo of you on Facebook with the team in Krakow!

Got reminded of the First Power Play DVD where you explore the Greek Gift in great detail! Absolutely loved it back then. Must revisit it!
Hmmm, Greek gift lesson from a game played on a Greek island. Of course. Great lesson, looks like a fun event. Thanks!

In which case you were the stronger player on this battleground!
Excellent video. Thank-you!
Thank you❤❤❤❤
Very very nice analysis and explanations after …Ne8 Bh7!
10:30
White had Rxc6 instead of e6.
And after Nxg8 he took with the king blundering Rxc6 again 😂😂
Herr Russ had played so well that there were indeed many ways to win.
After black plays Ng8, isn't Rxc6 a prosaic but instant win?
My thought, too.
