I uploaded another YT short! I've got an OTB (USCF rated) blitz tournament today, so here's a YouTube short, but the context is a bit more frustrating. I planned to upload a long-form content video a few days ago, but AFTER recording the entire ...
Happy Mothers' Day! Coincidental irony that my next video topic is about sacrificing the queen. Oop. This video is about the imbalance of a queen versus 3 minor pieces. Hint: You usually want the 3 minor pieces.
I'm hyped for my channel right now! I did the recording for this video about 2 weeks ago and that night, I honestly thought this wasn't going to be that great of a video. I liked parts of it, but it took me a little while to have the courage to up...
Fun context with this video! The video I originally planned for this week was another game where I play unrated chess and commentate for learning purposes... I often get into time pressure for talking too much and I lost. Then found out it was r...
Here's a video topic I'm really glad to share! I actually got this idea recommended by a friend at my local (in-person) chess club
Whoa! chess.com has a new voice control feature! I'm releasing this video as soon as I could even if it hasn't been a week, since my last video!
Happy Easter (Resurrection Sunday) and I'm back with a chess video topic I'm excited to share. I got this video idea from this thread: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/stupid-one-move-queen-attacks-analysis when I analyzed their ga...
I'm back with a new video! I wasn't sure I would upload this week. Thursday night I was on the verge of recording, but I was sick with the flu I got Monday evening. I decided to stay in bed and rest some more. I eventually recorded Saturday nigh...
Here's my next video inspired from watching GM Gormally play rook odds against the engine and unable to win. The engine is insanely strong! They always seem to find a resourceful defense and apply pressure out of seemingly thin air upon every move...
Earlier this month, I crossed the 2000 rating barrier for chess.com blitz rating! My bullet rating still lags far behind, but my blitz rating surge was nice I used to be around 1850 for 5 min blitz, but I switched to 3 min blitz and the 3/1 tim...
Here's the game against the Candidate Master that I referenced towards the end of my previous video. I also recently started bringing up my speed chess ratings. My blitz used to be around 1600s and I got it up to 1700s for 3 min, but I remember ...
This game was an exciting one! Well, at the least endgame got my adrenaline up and it wasn't even a time scramble.
I typically upload Friday, but I'm uploading a little earlier to get started on my upcoming video. In this one, I played against a friend of mine who has (although newer) a great YouTube channel as well. Make sure to check them out
Yesterday, I reached the 2.5k YouTube subscribers milestone! Please comment in my community post for it to show your support https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxBq31AQIyDW5wxKLsgyW1p2MXumGqMAt3 Now back on schedule, here's my newest video ...
A New World Record!! It's not often I get to say that, but a new chess.com record has been set!
I've returned! Okay, that took WAY longer than I thought, but I finally have a working webcam again and I've got some plans for upcoming videos already. Hopefully closer to 10-20 minute range. This video I started in early to mid-January becaus...
Happy New Year! Also Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, since I haven't had a video since before Christmas. I thought I'd have this video uploaded around the holidays and then have a shorter video around this time, but I had a short trip ...
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone! No YouTube video today. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I'll probably be too busy with the holiday for uploading soon, but I plan on uploading at least one more video before the end of...
This game was a struggle, but at least it shows that I can make any game instructional I also decided to stop including the rating in the thumbnail for this series. I liked the idea at first, but it takes up space and feels misleading, since it...
Here's the next video of our ongoing series. I may like to try a video or two not of this series just to keep mixing things up. As for this series, I like where it is headed, but it also takes much more editing than I expected. I may create a co...
New video so soon! The original video was about an hour unedited, so the final video was about half of that by cutting out a lot of pauses during thinking time for both me and my opponent. I still tried to keep the relaxed feel of this Edu...
Here's the next video of this series. Idk if I need to write the 1000 level in the thumbnail since in the title. I can always edit thumbnail if needed. Anyway, this was an educational video where they played a really strong game against...
I did it! Here's 3 videos in a span of 7-days! This one is not part of the previous playlist series. It's a game I wanted to show for a while now, so this week seemed best for it. After this video, I am eager to get back to the series I ha...
I'm trying something I've never done before... 3+ years of my YouTube channel and I'm going to try and upload 3 videos in a week (7-day span). I had enough trouble with 1 video per week and so 2 was a rarity, but I really want the YouTube ...
New Playlist series! As some of you may know from this forum thread: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/best-time-control-for-playing-viewers I had an idea to give some live commentary to games I play in real-time. The idea is to...
