Video Achievements - How to get!
Are you an achievement hunter? Go get these achievements now!
Here's how to get them! (And NO, videos in lessons don't help you get the achievement. I wasted quite some time because of Press Play's note: to LITERALLY WATCH VIDEO LESSONS.)
So, before we start, I want to tell you that you don't have to watch a bunch of videos, you just have to "watch" certain minutes.
And when I say "watch", I mean "skip to a few seconds before the end of the video".
See more at https://www.chess.com/blog/Nevisaurus_Rex/video-achievements (in case you have questions).
Ex.: To get Press Play, you need to "watch" 1 minute of videos.
For Popcorn Lover, 10 minutes. For Film Buff, 100 minutes. For Movie Star, 1000 minutes.
Here are free, >200 min videos picked out from the Free Videos bunch to get the achievements. You need to "watch" one to get the first 3 achievements, and all 5 to get Movie Star. They are ranked in order from shortest duration to longest duration.
