Lots to share with this one. I had family visiting for Thanksgiving (which went super well actually!), but thought I could still have time to work on everything and upload on Friday. It didn't work that way and Thursday night, I was tired and debating to go to sleep or to record my YouTube video.

I decided to record... but then when I finished, I didn't even look at the recorded footage. It just didn't feel enthusiastic and me being tired didn't help. I didn't want to upload something of lower quality, so I chose to re-record the video from the start.

I thought about writing an "announcment" here to update everyone, but I honestly didn't know if I would end up waiting until the next Friday to upload, or if I could finish everything (editing, thumbnail, YT chapters etc.) before then. Well, I exported the 2nd video take and I thought it could be improved again, so even though I didn't re-record, I exported a 3rd time after some small changes. This is basically video take 3, but I think this one is good now.

My hope is to speedrun my video process again and maybe see if I can upload another video on Friday and get back onto my usual pacing.

My YouTube channel also crossed the 2k subscribers mark a few days ago, so that is a good step in the right direction. Thank you to all of you who helped make this possible; more chess content to come, so stay tuned
