FunMasterMike Forces Mate In 8!

 

When I was a ChessKid, I only got to have a grandmaster coach me once (but you get Benzoo and other GMs in our videos whenever you want!).

I attended a camp in New York City taught by GM Edmar Mednis. For one week we barely got to touch the pieces -- we just analyzed in our heads as he set up positions on his teaching board!

At the end of camp, we played some slow training games. In one of those, I got to play the longest forced mate of my entire life. I'm winning with several moves, but GM Mednis praised me for finding this long sequence!

You can see grandmasters teach you whenever you want. Click here for GM Benzoo videos, or here for GM Judit Polgar, or here for Simon Williams, or here for GM Eugene Perelshteyn, or here for GM Bryan Smith!

See you next Wednesday for "FunMasterMike's Most Fun Moments!"
