Some folks wanted to see more, so here’s a bit to whet your appetites. I am currently working on creating English subtitles for the Chess Pa Svenska DVD. This is just a rough test to give an idea of what the finished product will be like. The word choice, formating, etc, are all subject to change and revision. If you care to help with the translation, especially of the spoken dialog, please post here, or email me at chesstranslation@gmail.com Note on translation of the lyrics: Whenever possible, I will be using Tim Rice’s original lyrics unless they are explicitly incongruous with the action on stage or the intent of the Swedish version. As many of the songs are as direct a translation of Rice words as are possible when translating lyrics from Swedish to English, I think it makes more sense to use the original English lyrics rather than lyrics that have been translated from English into Swedish and then back to English. If there is enough interest, I will also create a second subtitle track with a more literal translation of the Swedish lyrics.

By request I have produced a chess video about performing a KQ vs. KN checkmate. I made this video in two parts, which were then badly joined using Windows Movie Maker. Not the best video I’ve ever done, but I hope you learn something if you had trouble with this ending before. By the way, the second part was me playing vs. Crafty at chessvideos.tv, I think the part where I explained that got lopped off.

We take a look at a chess trap for black against the bird’s opening from weak. Black focuses on the weakness created by the lack of the f2 pawn and offers a pawn as a sacrifice to put the trap in motion.
