Well I Now Have A First Video

Because I'm sure that's what Agadmator did. He posted here as soon as he had *any* content. Not the thousands of thoughtful and top-tier videos he's already put up.

Turns out that workarounds for having no camera are not nearly as simple as getting a camera. It has a wealth of uses.

There is nothing particularly important or interesting about this game, aside from the fact that I'm either playing someone catfishing as Lorde (99%) or actually playing Lorde (1%). I would say it's impossible, but how is she not on this site? She probably *knows* Anya Taylor-Joy.

Here's the game:

It was interesting to me that after you pinned the queen your first instinct was to look for ways that white could attack your king or queen... that's exactly the type of move that could let white escape. I just didn't expect that. Maybe lower rated players have better instincts than I thought and chess is more about experience or something. I don't know.

There's some kind of traffic jam in the lower ratings. So it's very much about experience. I keep improving, but not any faster than anyone else at my level.

Much of it is the YouTube videos. I don't watch them, because there's so much cognitive dissonance. But most everyone else does.
