I'm doing all right, but I had a lot of personal issues this week and it has been really tough on me. My internet has also been less stable, so I haven't even been on chess.com as much. I did record footage for a video, but I'm second-guessing it'...
Chess memes are back! I had a lot of fun with my first meme video a long time ago, but there was lots of area to improve upon and now I am more experienced from making that video, so here is a newer chess memes video with new memes. Hope...
I thought of this video idea when I had small talk with someone at my local chess club earlier this week. They were rated under 1200 and talking briefly about what opening to study and play, since they heard that the "Sicilian Defense was advanced...
I am working on a video currently, but it is doubtful to be finished by Friday. My options are either postpone publishing it a day or two, or I may even just upload it next week. Right now my main idea is the first option of just a day or two late...
Here is the next video everyone I also got a haircut a few days ago to cut off the remaining blue color from my video on the Hedgehog formation. Blue was a fun hair color to try, but I like my natural hair color a lot more when it comes to comb...
Welcome back everyone This is a useful concept, since it appears in many games and perhaps exponentially so as the player ratings are lower and lower. This is an error to be on the lookout for in your own games as well as something you ca...
I'll be skipping making a video this week. I think it is better for me to take a break and make the following video(s) better. If missing my videos, then just watch one of my others xD
Chess positions can be more than just open, closed, or half-open; let's share 8 types of positions from a pawn structure perspective!
Here's the next chess video about the 6 types of chess files. Yes, there is more than just open, closed and half-open (semi-open) files!
New video and I tried something different for the thumbnail. Let me know what you all think of the video (and thumbnail)
Here is the newest video everyone. Ugh. That was a real nightmare to work on. I won't bore everyone with the technical details, but I thought this voice over idea would be creative and new. Maybe it is, but I ended up having to record the audio tw...
All right! New video all! This one is about the Nimzo-Indian Defense which I'm currently recommending for beginners struggling against the d4 and c4 setup by white (usually played by Queen's Gambit players). I'm not just recommending this mainl...
Pulled another all-nighter for you all (I slept after and then worked on the thumbnail after I got up, so that's why uploaded a few hours later than other days) This video took a while to make, but it is always spectacular to see Kaspar...
Here is the new video everyone
New video everyone This video uses a recent game of mine as an example to illustrate a concept. I believe this video should help many beginner to intermediate level players (although I welcome all level players of course).
I'm hyped about this video This actually took much longer to make than most of my other videos (like 2-3 times longer), but I still edited out a lot of unnecessary recording. This brings us to down from about 30 minutes of original footage to u...
Here is my newest video on the hedgehog formation in chess. This is a fun setup to play and I've had some success with it over the years. I'll teach you some of the key ideas and it might be something you may like to explore as well
This Tal game was crazy! This REALLY impressed me and it is rare that a chess game leaves this much of an impression on me. Master games occasionally impress me with one or two moves, but Tal impressed me throughout this entire game and the firewo...
Super Happy! Literally ever since I got a webcam I always wanted to different camera setup where I could sit a little further away from the camera, but I couldn't move too far back because I needed to stay super close to the microphone for bette...
Newest video just uploaded! This one is about the 3 types of pawn levers I find probably the most important. My internet was out for a few hours today (thunderstorms earlier), but good to see it is back on in time for my weekly upload
Here is a video topic I thought about making a few months ago, but then my chess.com friend @JovoJovan asked me essentially this very question and I figured I'd bump this video idea up my list. If others have this question and I have the answer, t...
I love how this video turned out! It is an technically an opening, yet also an endgame, but then the key of the video feels like mostly middlegame pawn structure concepts. It has a little flavor of everything and I have hopes for it to be a great ...
Here is the next video which shows a recent game of mine. I've gotten some requests to share some of my own chess and thought process, so I hope this video fits that. I also share a cool castling concept (or rather, not castling).
This video is a shorter one, but ironically took me a bit longer. This is because I had more content to edit out to get it to the current length. I try to make videos at least 8 minutes (8+ minutes is what YouTube considers "long form content"), b...
