What I love the most about your content is your commentary while playing since I am way lower rated and it helps me see how to think better in chess. It is also very fun and interesting!
i’ve been looking forward for this ! you just have the thing other chess youtubers don’t, i can’t explain it but you are just up there and i love just watching your content to the point where i check hella to see if you’ve uploaded a rounded this time everyday
@@yussefcheaitou Seconded, his voice is what drew me to the content first because I was tired of the GothamChess over-emphasis and shouting words style. He also explains his processes very well.
Been watching for a bit now, love the content! I really enjoy your fun series with the bots, but it’s also really great to see some pvp games and learn a thing or two! Keep it up you’re crushing it
Another banger video, thank you! Love watching. Not sure what’s changed with the audio this episode but seems a bit off today, just thought I’d give some feedback. Still a great video!
Yes, thank you for the feedback. I noticed it was echoey and did my best to reduce it but it’s actually good to know that it’s still noticeable. Thanks! :)
If you do something like this again (and I really hope you do), could you put all the rating climb videos into one large playlist? It would be really nice to watch in the background.
In general though, thank you so much for creating such high quality chess content. I'm currently 1100 - ish and you're really motivating me to improve my abilities while also making your videos so entertaining. I know this is said very often in your comments, but I really hope you begin to receive more attention to your videos as you grow as a creator.
I appreciate it! And that’s a fair idea it would result in pretty much the same two options for my opponent depending on whether he wants to en passant
great vid man! keep it up! excited to see more! and idk if you’ve noticed you sound like you’re inside an aquarium in this vid, might want to check that.
So about content length since no one else commented (at least that I found): I think that 30 minutes/3 games (whichever sooner) is great balance. If you have really long or short games and reach and awkward 23 minutes or so, and the last game was interesting, maybe analyze it (if the site permit)? I will probably watch even hour long videos, but if you keep uploading daily this will probably be too much, while reducing it to 20 minutes/2 games will also be completely fine, especially as you rank up to your real score and games become more difficult (or if you just want to space it out).
Hey, so im not exactly sure whats happening to your mic, but i think i may be overlaying the left and the right channel try muting one channel and then applying a mono filter. Maybe go chech in Windows settings if you have two channel audio quality selected (if so use mono), that might also solve the issue. Just an idea not sure if it'll help.
This is gonna be an awesome series! Looking forward to the next one already. Just curious: why do you always use male pronouns when talking about your opponents?
4:15 is that a free bishop on h6?
My daily reminder that I don’t do enough tactics, good find!!
I was crying at the screen at this moment. (not that I would play any better)
also by taking that bishop you are pinning white's f pawn to queen
You mean on h6 right???

Thank you for the kind comment! I’m glad this is helpful :)
i was so triggered seeing that free bishop in game 1 lol
SAME LOL, I was screaming at 4:30 THEY BLUNDERED THE BISHOP! JUST TAKE THE BISHOP!

Thank you! I appreciate that! I’m going to try to start posting at a consistent time as well haha
He's got great voice n commentary
Bro i can relate so much with this comment
@@yussefcheaitou Seconded, his voice is what drew me to the content first because I was tired of the GothamChess over-emphasis and shouting words style.

He has that je ne sais quoi
the last “ooh thats not gonna cut it” was hilarious
I was looking at this man’s bullet rating, he’s over 2100 with a whopping 64% winrate, 28% loss rate, and 8% draw rate. Jeez he is strong…
Woohoo!! Although it doesn’t making me better classical player it sure is fun hahaha

Thank you! Will do :)
My new favourite channel. Love your content. Keep up the regularity❤❤
I really appreciate that! More to come! :)

I can't watch the video because of the echoey audio, it's just too distracting.
Your arrows going places
Love the commentary, very reminiscent of John Bartholomew’s channel. Definitely subbing
That’s a big compliment! I appreciate that :)
Great vid as always!
Thanks!
If you do something like this again (and I really hope you do), could you put all the rating climb videos into one large playlist? It would be really nice to watch in the background.
Yes! That’s a great point I should probably make a couple of playlists for the different challenges on this channel. Thanks!

Following the last game made my head hurt. So many complications.
Hi I recently found your channel and I really love it! keep going❤
I appreciate that :D
Hi i like ur channel.keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do :)
Great!
Got my sub, keep up with this awesome content!
That free bishop sure is a reminder to improve tactics and game vision, would’ve done the same thing 😂
I appreciate that! And yes, holy moly I need to do a lot of tactics
You're the best man. Love your videos.
Also, at 3:30, why didn't you just go e5 to begin with? Instead of pushing e6 and then going to e5 next turn.
I appreciate it! And that’s a fair idea it would result in pretty much the same two options for my opponent depending on whether he wants to en passant
Man please do more puzzles that free bishop which also pins the pawn to the queen and the rook at the same time got me screaming at the screen
LOL will do!
Another great video, enjoy your Christmas!
Thank you! A very Merry Christmas to you as well 🎄
Finally a youtuber that plays the sicilian!
Let’s go!! Dynamic play!!
OMG, I really wanted this series from you in the back of my mind 🫡 Love the vidss
Thank you! More to come :)
Another great video great job congrats on 5.58k I hope you have a good Xmas (idk how to spell it lol)
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas 🎄
great vid man! keep it up! excited to see more! and idk if you’ve noticed you sound like you’re inside an aquarium in this vid, might want to check that.
I appreciate it! And yes haha I’m fixing it for tomorrow :)
Was waiting for this type of content😍
nice solid games!
Thanks!
Nice video! 3:31 could've played e5 to begin with, forcing him to take en passant and getting the central pawns
Good idea!
Love this channel
Thanks! :D
I like that it is not fluffed up with facecam or too much hype it is just gameplay and solid advice
AAAARRGGHHH TAKE THE BISHOOOOPPP!
5:00 free bishop bro
Yeah, I wish that I still had the mind to play chess, dont really have many ppl left to play with
Understandable, maybe online!
4:50 just take the free bishop then his pawn is pinned.....
thank you for uploading against human opponents
0:07 woah you made your account on my birthday
rare footage of iwantcheckmate playing with the black pieces!?
Very rare!
Btw How long have you been playing chess? At what age did you started?
Been playing chess most of my life! Started when I was a kid :)

happy holidays
Happy holidays!

@@iwantcheckmateLet’s goooo! Martin fans all over the world are waiting for this one!!
4:42 is that not just a free bishop?
yes
Dude I was FLIPPING OUT ☠️ put it into the engine and yup free piece

Thank you! I’ve tried some fixes for tomorrows video and I appreciate the advice
Play kings Indian defense 🙏 please
That’s a main opening of mine! I’m sure it will appear in one of my rating climbs :)
Great ❤ Even though it's on lichess but umm I won't complain 😂
Hahaha the UI is not the same I know 😅
Idea: how many moves in a row does Martin need to beat me❤
Nice!!
4:52 u can just take the bishop
Ppp!😅
microphone change?
Fixed for tomorrows video!
4:52 why not Bxh6?
he forgor, it's free indeed
never thought u would use lichess lol
Haha long time user!
Mic is echoing a little
Thank you for the feedback, fixed for next videos :)
Raging at move 16 😭
5 hour puzzle session now 😪
Is it just me or does the audio seem a little off.
It’s very potato quality. Doing a lot of work on it today for tomorrows video :) Happy holidays!
@Ok, I can’t wait to see it!
Im sorry I missed 2 of your videos, can I get my 20th hello?
Don’t apologize! 20. Hello :D
This is gonna be an awesome series! Looking forward to the next one already.
Just curious: why do you always use male pronouns when talking about your opponents?
Honestly I’m not sure! I’m trying to get out of the habit with the bots and should do the same for online players
Every gamer knows there's no girls on the internet
audio
hey can you lose to worstfish
That’s tomorrows video :)
Yayy
What about Martin VS worstfish?
@@soniavieira3717 martin wins basically because they arent the same
