Chess, Bots, and Christmas Cheer! 🎄♟️ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
#christmas #bots #chess
I'm currently on some annual leave and one of the things that I sometimes do to relax is to play a "gauntlet" of all 15 of the beginner bots on chess.com! This is something that I do as relaxation and I'm hoping that you'll find the combination of chess and Christmas music to be relaxing.
Given the 15 bots, I'm only going to play with the white pieces (rather than both black and white, and thus, 30 games), and will narrate my thinking as I go along. For those of you who are earlier on their chess journey, and from a survey, around half of my subscribers are rated less than 1000 ELO, hopefully, these games will be helpful in learning about some of the tactical approaches in chess, and also specifically with the beginner bots!
This is a relatively longer video, so settle in with some popcorn and egg nog, and chillax to some chess and Christmas music. Enjoy!
