National Master Dan Heisman is a name that is synonymous with excellence in chess coaching and teaching. Dan authors the award-winning Novice Nook column (winner of three Chess Journalists of America "Best Instruction" awards), aimed at improving adults, for chesscafe.com that are clearly written and offer very practical advice and tips on how to improve your game. More info about Dan can be found here. In the new Improve Your Chess series, Dan provides instruction by reviewing amateur games played on ICC and showing where the players went wrong and how to improve.

Today's show: Dan picks a random game and position and must analyze it for 20 minutes (it's the 7th video where he has done this and the previous 6 had a good response from the audience). He picks a fairly interesting position with possible kingside play for White. After 20 minutes he finds a couple interesting continuations and sees much of the ramifications but does miss a surprise defense in a key line.
