The Backyard Professor

You detractors are jealous of his fame, I say to you, produce your own chess videos if you think its easy!

This kind of reasoning has been identified to be plainly wrong several 1000 years ago.

Where is your content?

Man, you are predictable.

I challenge you to reach even a tenth of his audience, if you cannot or will not accept the challenge then I declare you impotent!

I am not the issue, if you cannot get that correct what hope is there for you?

Unexpected twist!

fixd!

His videos average around 2K views now. I started a Youtube in the summer (I didn't advertise, or get my friends to join, and only posted 4 videos) and I have 500+ views on video. That's more than a tenth. Done.

you are cherry picking data, these latest masterpieces have not yet had time to filter through the interment to the BYP's legions of fans, look at this one here which disproves your outlandish claims, 173K views, you mamas boys cant touch that.

I produce static content of high quality for a limited audience. That’s my preference. My students eventually surpass me in skill. That’s a better measure of success than a few bucks of advertising revenue.

I watched three chess videos this morning: two by Danny King, one by Tryfon Gavriel (kingscrusher). All three concerned games played this week in Wijk aan Zee. There are thousands of chess videos of YouTube that are worthy of your time. None of them are made by a patzer from southern Idaho.

The top player in Idaho is FM Jim Maki. I’ll likely analyze some games with him on Saturday because he’ll be working the analysis table at a youth tournament where I’ll be running the pairings. The number three player in Idaho is Michael Cambareri. My blog has a game in which I beat him in 17 moves with home preparation.

You want to keep offering uninformed psychobabble, go ahead.

I'm choosing the most recent ones because its more fair seeing as i just started youtube, didnt promote my channel, and didn't have thousands of subscribers to start with, since i had a limited amount of time

The video description you pasted here challenges my claim that he has a high school education. I thought he had graduated.

I'm checking back next year, it should be getting really good by then

It would sit better if he called himself “the slow learner”. He appears to expend a great deal of effort trying to understand chess, but fails to make more than minimal progress.

Indeed was it not DaVinci himself who stated, "its a wretched pupil who does not surpass his master"  You could watch everyone of Kingkrushers videos for a thousand years and not gain a single rating point, he's an engine junkie unlike our hero the BYP who relies on pure unadulterated humanity.  I wholeheartedly reject your silly premise outright as being outlandish in conception and impractical in praxis.

28 K subscribers, twenty eight thoooooooousand subscribers, read it and weep my illustrious friend, read n weep!

I couldn't begin to match the number or intensity of connections Jim Jones made.

That doesn't make Jones' preaching correct.

The fact that he has that many subs, but like 2000 views on the recent vids says something

BYP teaches via "pure humanity"?

You want to talk about impractical...
