My new streams: need your opinion!

Hey guys,

I've been streaming for some time here on lichess. In a vast majority of cases, it was a show "Learn from chess blitz" where I played 5 min games against viewers. This week I started streaming my bullet and blitz tournaments. The links: youtu.be/UJ3c6OqlpNk (bullet) and youtu.be/7miMKjOPo8Y (blitz).

It would be nice if you could share your opinion!

Do you like the streams of this kind?
What could you recommend in a sense of improvement?

Many thanks in advance!
Hey - I've been watching your stream lately. I enjoy it very much. I'll let you know if I come up with any ideas/improvements. Thanks!
Although I'm not keen on classical chess when playing online, to say the least, when it comes to streaming, and in terms of learning experience, my opinion is that the longer the time control the better. Anyway, excellent streams indeed, and very educational. I am amazed that you can play at any time control and yet provide helpful commentaries. Really impressive.
I very much enjoy your streams very instructional ,enjoy your thought process and how you explain every move. and think mixing it up and streaming tournaments is a good idea, we armatures get to see,your to approach different openings and play styles from different people as you play, makes for good learning.
Maybe you can play some standard simultaneous exhibitions and stream them.
Hello Andrei

The show is very good and I enjoy it a great deal. I welcome your idea to explore some themes (playing solidly, provocative, etc.) , and I think there is some room for a lot of more possibilities. Why not imposed openings, etc.

I did watch the bullet streams, and I did learn from your technique. But frankly, I think you should consider playing bullet against us (bullet sessions instead of blitz session). Why not a 4-games combo, or allowing the same opponents to plays several times during the bullet session.

You may have noticed that your shows lacks advertising venues. I think the only ones are your youtube channel and twitter. Obviously your show interests a much larger audience. Remember the time when we were 2 of us. We pm-ed our friends on other popular chess sites, and them the show was pretty crowded...

I will continue to follow the show and play as much as I can.

Thanks, a lot

Your blitz stream is entertainingly instructional. Maybe my personal taste, but I think instead of hyper/bullet (for adrenaline junkies) it would be awesome to have some simul, tournament or even rapid time control.

The idea of themes is also very much welcome.
Hello Andrei,
your show is amazing and I appreciate it very much. I like your normal Blitz Videos even more than super Blitz streams because then you play more normal chess and you have also more time to explain your thoughts which is very helpful for non-master players like me. Something what I would wish in this normal Blitz (or maybe even longer) streams would be the (much) more frequently use of the arrows and circles on the chessboard in the same time when you explain your thoughts in words (e4 Bg7 e5 d6 and so on) because as an non chess master and non native english speaker I can't follow your speedy lines not fast enough. But I like your Videos very much and your thoughts are really instructive. Thanks a lot and I hope you will continue the show.
