Thanks very much www.chessclub.com and Sasha for hosting the chat.
Alex is new to this and found the bewildering array of questions streaming past
the screen a little confusing and difficult to follow.
This made answering everyones questions difficult and also it was hard to stick to set topics.
Perhaps next time we could have a moderated chat so that we can cover certain topics in order
and weed out the irrelevant questions.
Anyway, some interesting issues were covered, and we enjoyed this experience.
Look how it was: Chat Transcript
